James Outman shared an emotional farewell to the Dodgers on Instagram after being traded to the Minnesota Twins. He reflected on his seven-year journey with the franchise, expressing gratitude for the people and experiences that shaped his growth as a player and person. Outman debuted with the Dodgers after being drafted in 2018 but faced challenges in subsequent seasons before the trade. He is set to join Triple-A St. Paul, hopeful that a change in environment will help him rediscover his previous success.
"To say the last seven years were fun would be a huge understatement. The people I've met along the way have helped me grow into the player - and man - that my 12-year-old self would be proud of. It was a dream come true to debut with the team that drafted me, and I'll forever be grateful to the Dodgers for the opportunity they gave me."
"To the fans, my teammates, and coaches - thank you. I'll miss you all deeply. While it's hard to say goodbye, I'm incredibly thankful for every moment we shared. Now, I'm beyond excited to start this next chapter with the Twins."
