Source: A Dodgers scout called Zach Eflin in December 2014, welcomed him to Los Angeles and congratulated him on joining the organization. For two weeks — ever since a buddy awoke him with a 7:30 a.m. text message — Eflin had awaited assurance that he had been traded from San Diego. Finally, he had confirmation.

  • Good article article, long enough, well-referenced, neutrally written with no significant copyvios. Another website appears to have copied from Wikipedia. The hook is cited-inline in the article and is interesting. The image used in the hook is freely licensed, used in the article, and easily discernible at 100px. A QPQ has been done by the nominator.
