DUNEDIN, Fla. — People always ask John Axford how Los Angeles was and he’s never quite sure what to say. That’s because he might have been there for about a week total after the Toronto Blue Jays traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers last July.
Those were all stops on a cross-country road trip Axford took last October following a disappointing end to his 2018 season. After he was traded to Los Angeles, Axford pitched only once at Dodger Stadium before taking a 98.5-m.p.h. comebacker off the right leg during a game in Colorado a week later, fracturing his fibula. He spent the next month in Arizona rehabbing, and returned to pitch in two more games for the Dodgers in late September.
Usually, he tries to power through as quickly as possible, sometimes logging as many as 14 hours of driving in a day. But this year, driving an electric car that required intermittent charges, he took his time, documenting his many stops across middle America through Instagram stories. In February, Axford chose a more expeditious, if less interesting, airborne method of transportation to get from Burlington to Dunedin after finalizing his minor-league deal with the Blue Jays the day Toronto’s camp opened. If he cracks the opening day roster, he’ll make US$1.65-million, a slight raise on the $1.5-million he earned last season after making the club on a minor-league deal.
