Brian Dozier spent the first six-and-a-half years of his career with the Minnesota Twins. There, he became a fan favorite while hitting more than 25 home runs three times and anchoring the second base position next to another Twins hero in first baseman Joe Mauer. All that came to an end though, at the 2018 trade deadline on July 31st, when the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Dozier. The trade shipped the veteran out west to a different team and a different league. In return for Dozier, the Tw[...]

He will look to keep it going on Tuesday against Royals sta[...]
