The Los Angeles Dodgers, having secured two World Series titles in recent years, faced a tough decision to release veteran players Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor during a competitive season. Both players were part of the organization's fabric for nearly a decade, and their departure was emotional for current teammates. Kiké Hernandez expressed the difficulty of not getting to say proper farewells, emphasizing how odd it felt to part through digital messages rather than in person. Both players are expected to continue their careers elsewhere shortly after leaving the Dodgers.
"That's the part that sucks the most, not being able to say your goodbyes. It's not like they're dying. But not being able to say your proper goodbyes because you don't know when you're going to see them again."
"To see those two guys leave and not be able to have a moment to say goodbye and to have to do it through a text message or a phone call makes things a little weird."
