Where are 2020 departed Dodgers right now?

It's been less than two years since the Dodgers won the World Series. Of the 38 men who appeared in a game for them in 2020, almost half have moved on to another organizati­on. While some are just beginning to hit their stride as major leaguers, others might have played their final big league game.

Here is a brief look at how some of the 17 departed 2020 Dodgers are doing:

1. COREY SEAGER >> Seager signed a 10-year, $325 million contract to join the Texas Rangers last winter, ending his eight-year run in Dodger blue. The shortstop, 28, is on pace for roughly 5 Wins Above Replacemen­t, which would be his best season since 2017. Offense is down league-wide, which helps explain Seager's .322 on-base percentage for the rebuilding Rangers.

2. KIKÉ HERNANDEZ >> After the Dodgers won the World Series, they chose not to bring back Hernandez, their emotional spark plug and jack-of-all-trades utilityman. He signed a two-year contract with the Boston Red Sox and establishe­d himself as the team's primary center fielder. After a slow start to begin the 2022 season, Hernandez recently rattled off a six-game hitting streak. He still has more strikeouts (28) than hits (25) to go along with a .182 batting average through Wednesday.

3. AJ POLLOCK >> The Dodgers traded Pollock, 34, to the Chicago White Sox for Craig Kimbrel at the end of spring training. So far the Dodgers have won the trade. While Kimbrel has yet to blow a save in seven chances, Pollock has already visited the injured list and batted .220
