The Los Angeles Lakers’ Offensive Struggles: Digging Below The Surface

Posted by | Aug 12, 2020 | , , | 0 |

Reading Time: 4 minutesIn 2015, the New York Mets had the foundation of a World Series contending team. The roster was led by veterans such as Curtis Granderson, David Wright, and Daniel Murphy while also fielding budding superstars like Jacob DeGrom, Michael Conforto, and Matt Harvey.

On July 31, the New York Mets traded top prospects Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa to the Detroit Tigers for Yoenis Cespedes. Cespedes, 30 at the time, had somewhat of...
