"Andrew Toles hasn’t played Major League Baseball since 2018, but the Los Angeles Dodgers just renewed his contract.

Toles was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in 2020 after he was found sleeping behind a building at the Key West Airport in Florida. Placed on the MLB’s restricted list (an official designation that permits teams to maintain players’ rights without them counting against active roster limits) in 2019, Toles hasn’t played for the Dodgers in six years.

In a beautiful act of compassion, the club renews his contract each spring, so Toles is able to maintain the health insurance he needs for his mental care and support. In his three seasons with the Dodgers, Toles slammed eight home runs, hitting .286 with 35 RBI and a .792 OPS over 96 games played.

Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, said of Toles in 2021, “Man, I would love to see him. I’d love to put my arms around him. I miss him. I really miss him.”"
