Dodgers right-hander Daniel Hudson faced a critical decision about retirement after enduring serious injuries over the past few years.
Despite contemplating retirement, Hudson signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, securing a $2 million compensation.
At 37 years old, Hudson has undergone two surgeries in the last two years, one on his elbow and another on his knee, requiring significant recovery efforts.
Hudson has emerged as a key player for the Dodgers, boasting a 6-2 record and a 3.00 ERA while allowing just four hits in 3.1 innings during the postseason.
Hudson chose to return to the Dodgers as a free agent, opting for a minor league contract to play for the team that has supported him through injuries.
The Dodgers organization has provided Hudson and his family with care and support during his recovery, fostering a sense of loyalty and commitment.
Hudson’s journey reflects resilience and dedication, as he aims to contribute to the Dodgers’ pursuit of a World Series title this season.
