Is Elly De La Cruz performing like he's applying for job with Dodgers?
"He likes the big stage. He wants to play against the best," Dave Roberts said of Elly De La Cruz and his performance for the Reds vs. the Dodgers.
Elly De La Cruz has been displaying exceptional performance against the Los Angeles Dodgers over the past week, raising questions about whether he might be auditioning for a possible job with the team. The Reds' shortstop has shown remarkable skills, hitting home runs against Dodgers pitchers in four consecutive games. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts commented on De La Cruz's impressive displays, highlighting a 458-foot homer hit off Noah Syndergaard and another tape-measure shot off Evan Phillips that bounced out of Great American Ball Park.
Despite some buzz suggesting De La Cruz might be interested in joining the Dodgers in their next free agency, insiders claim other teams are more interested in securing his talents. The Reds have little time left to trade De La Cruz, as his performance against the Dodgers has been exceptional, resulting in five of their seven runs in the four meetings.
His long home runs against the Dodgers, including a 467-foot blast in 2023, have left many in awe, and it's clear that he possesses the ability to shine on the biggest stage.
