Player » Josh Reddick

Josh Reddick is happy that the Los Angeles Dodgers traded him after the 2016 season to the Houston Astros. In an ironic twist of fate, he went from the team that lost the 2017 World Series to the team that was victorious, and Reddick was no small part of the chemistry that created that destiny for Houston and upped Reddick's autograph value as a bona fide sports collectible. The signs that Josh Reddick was a player who just needed the right team were evident early on. He won a Golden Glove award in 2012 with the Oakland Athletics, however, an injury to his right wrist in 2013 grew progressively worse for a left-handed hitter and required arthroscopic surgery.

After recovering, he struggled with a few other injuries and was then picked up by Houston at the end of his 2016 season with the Dodgers. He was signed to a four-year contract worth $52 million, and the Astros knew what they were signing for ? a great player who needed the right team. In his first year, he showed them they made a good buy, just like you can with our authenticated sports memorabilia signed by emerging star Josh Reddick.

During the 2017 season with Houston, he appeared in 134 games and hit for a .314 batting average with 13 home runs and 82 RBIs. Reddick's steady and effective play, along with other star teammates such as Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa helped the Astros win the AL West pennant with a 101-61 record, and then beat the Dodgers in the 2017 World Series.
