Dodgers Legend Davey Lopes Died This Morning At 80

The Los Angeles Dodgers sadly announced Wednesday that four-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion Davey Lopes has died.

Lopes started his MLB career with the Dodgers in 1972. He stayed with the franchise through the 1981 season before having stints with the Oakland Athletics, Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros. The former second baseman finished his career with a .263 batting average, 155 home runs and 614 RBI.

Even though Lopes didn't have a ton of success as the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers, he received a ton of praise for his work as a first base coach with the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies.

As you'd imagine, the Dodgers and the rest of the MLB world is heartbroken over Lopes' death.

"The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80," the team said in a statement. "Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends."

Sad day for the Dodgers.

Before the news of Lopes' death was made official, Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas announced that his father passed away suddenly.

“With immense sorrow on behalf of the entire Rojas family, I must share with all those who had the privilege of knowing and spending time with my father, Miguel Rojas – known as ‘Micky’ – that he passed away suddenly yesterday afternoon, April 7th,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “I wish to offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has reached out to me and my family to express their affection and let us know just how deeply loved my father was throughout his life. May God welcome him into His glory, and may he rest in peace.”

Rojas was away from the Dodgers earlier this week due to a family matter. His status for the remainder of this week is up in the air.

Suffice to say, it's been a challenging week for past and present members of the Dodgers.
