What happened in sports on February 5, 2021 ft. Trevor Bauer joining the Dodgers, Kemba coming up clutch vs. Clippers, D-Lo GW, and more!
ESPN
February 5th, 2021 was remembered for the reigning NL Cy Young winner SP Trevor Bauer signing with the reigning World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Atlanta Braves re-signed Marcell Ozuna after an MVP-caliber season at the plate while the Tigers brought back Jonathan Schoop on arguably the most significant day of the 2020-21 MLB offseason. Nikola Vucevic had a career-high performance, D-Lo drained the game-winner vs. OKC, and Kemba stepped up for the Celtics over the Clippers without Jaylen Brown or Paul George. Former MLB MVP Jose Conseco also resurfaced in a Rough n’ Rowdy fight for Barstool Sports.
