What next for Toles?

In a gesture of support and empathy, the Los Angeles Dodgers have decided to re-sign Andrew Toles. This signing will mainly focus on acquiring health insurance for Toles, which will help him in his fight against mental illness. Every Dodger gets health insurance once they sign a contract. The Dodgers have put his mental health at the forefront and hopefully, Toles begins his recovery process soon.

Andrew Toles was a fantastic outfielder during his MLB career. But sometimes, life takes a different path, and that is what happened to this talented player. Mental Health should be taken seriously, and we should applaud the Dodgers for this fantastic step.

There is little to no possibility that the Dodgers will call Toles on the team for playing. But they will ensure that he gets all the facilities possible to help him in his recovery. Indeed, this is quite a commendable move from the Dodgers, one that will set an example for the world to see.
