Corey Seager understandably ignored an awkward question about the Dodgers letting him go

Corey Seager helped lead the Texas Rangers to the franchise’s first World Series with a decisive 5-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The former 2016 Rookie of the Year earned the title of World Series MVP with six runs batted in and three home runs over the course of the five game series.

It’s the second World Series MVP crown for the high-level shortstop, previously winning the honor with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. Seager played with Los Angeles for the first six seasons of his career before signing a massive 10-year, $325 million contract with the Rangers in 2022.

A lot of people had questions as to why the Dodgers would let such a talented, young player walk, but not many would think to ask that question at the postgame press conference at the conclusion of the World Series.

Well, one reporter did, and it was extremely awkward.

Seager, understandably, declined to answer the head-scratching question. Who cares why they let him go? He’s a Rangers legend now.
