The Dodgers keep giving a retired player a $0 contract
Doing the right thing by a corporate entity is so rare.

Quote:

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Andrew Toles to a new contract even though he hasn't played Major League Baseball since 2018, and it seems unlikely he will ever play again.

According to Houston Mitchell of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers re-signed Toles so that he can maintain access to the team's health insurance.

In 2020, Toles was found homeless and sleeping behind a building in Key West, Florida. He was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor trespassing and released to the care of his father.

Toles' father told USA Today in 2021 that his son was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and was in a "zombie-like condition."

We are having challenges,'' Alvin Toles told USA Today. "But nothing that God and I can't handle. Schizophrenia, it's just so tough. I mean, he can't even watch TV. He hears voices and the TV at the same time, so it's kind of confusing. I've seen him looking at some baseball games on his laptop, but I don't think he really understands what's going on."

Toles played just parts of three seasons with the Dodgers, but he became a sensation with his stellar play in the 2016 National League playoffs.

This is the fifth-straight season that the Dodgers have quietly renewed Toles' contract. He is on the Dodgers' reserve list and does not receive a salary.

Good for the Dodgers to take care of his health care. Mental health illnesses can hit anyone at any time. We have a college professor totally lose it and became a basket case. He gets insomnia and has been up for a month at a time. Remarkable that the meds don't even put him to sleep when he is in his mania stage.

Was it this line in the article above that made you think this?

Maybe a little less weed at 3:48 a.m. and a little more sleep would allow you to clearly read the words written in the article.

But in California-he will have to pay 4k a year in taxes on it.

nicely-the amount the team pays in health care costs for him is nothing compared to what they are doing for him emotionally

See, Lamar Jackson? These are the contract amounts you get when you don't use an agent.

I've done this before. We kept a guy on the books so that he could get heath insurance to get cancer treatment. If we didn't, he would have died.....sooner.

A good thing for you and your company to do but something like this is a stark illustration of how messed up America is for having privatised healthcare rather than universal access to healthcare.
