Following a midseason trade, Luke Voit put together an incredible 2018 second half.

It just goes to show you, dreams really do come true. Determination, hard work, and a healthy obsession with sausage are always rewarded.
After the comprehensive look into Voit’s past and future, B_Don and Donkey move their gazes towards two of the young shiny options at the position: Peter Alonso and Jake Bauers.
