i finally added the kenta maeda short print from 2016 topps archives to my collection last fall
the dodgers traded maeda away after the 2019 season for brusdar graterol, and he had a very strong 2020 season with the twins (he finished second in the american league cy young voting). this year, he will be pitching for the tigers in the first of a two-year deal. i was thinking that the dodgers might reacquire maeda to help with their rotation, but it looks like they've done ok in that regard in the time after he signed with detroit!
It would have been cool to have him pitch with Yamamoto... and eventually with Ohtani.
