Rojas and Taylor are backups.

This makes sense with Busch in play as a wildcard if Muncy isn’t resigned or Vargas/Lux flops they shuffle.

And I forgot about Stone too

Muncy is definitely a better second baseman.
I like the Dodgers young pitchers. Hopefully they stay healthy. Dodgers need to sign a free agent pitcher.

It is so much fun to watch Yordan Alvarez mash homers all day long in the postseason for the Trashtros, when he was in the Dodgers system...good move, guys, we have much better postseason performers than him /s

I think the Dodgers will pick up Muncy’s option, and I think they’re definitely counting on Lux at SS. I think Vargas or Busch get traded. No room for both.

Did Friedman and Gomes say anything important or is it just WAH, WAH, WAH. Like Charlie Brown adults

Max Muncy on the Dodgers hitting during playoffs
What's funny is we've tried to dig into this a bunch, especially on the offensive side. We've really dug into it about why things are so different for us in the postseason and every year we look at the numbers and last year, in terms of chase rate outside the zone, we were like the first or the second best. And then, the two teams that made the World Series were like the first and second worst at chase rate.

"So, we start looking into that kind of stuff, and those are the teams that are making it to the World Series. They're going up there and they're getting their swings off, whereas we're being too disciplined and that's almost where it seems like we got to just flip the script and go up there and start hacking."

Austin Barnes last year of a two-year, $7-million deal)-Diego Cartaya ready? or will he be traded?
Mookie Betts (fourth year of a 12-year $365-million deal)
Freddie Freeman (third year of a six-year, $162-million deal)-Interesting what Dodgers will do after his deal is finished
Tony Gonsolin (final year of a two-year, $6.65 million deal)
Miguel Rojas (final year of a two-year, $11-million deal)
Chris Taylor (third year of a four-year, $60-million deal)

[Dodgerfan74]

Team Options
Daniel Hudson ($6.5 million team option)
Joe Kelly ($1 million buyout or $9.5 million team option)
Lance Lynn ($1 million buyout or $18 million team option)
Max Muncy ($10 million team option)
Alex Reyes ($3 million team option)
Blake Treinen ($1 million to $7 million team option depending on injuries)

Max Muncy is coming back. Joe Kelly is not coming back at that price. Lance Lynn is not coming back. The others depend on their injuries. Remember, the Dodgers can decline a team option and bring the player back at a lower price if the two sides agree,

Kershaw had surgery out until Summer

[DMACcollector]

Basically free agency started the day after the WS concluded, although nobody can officially sign for 5 days. If we do not sign Ohtani, what is the plan? I have a bad feeling Ohtani is going to sign with the Giants.

[Dodgerfan74]

Blske Snell would be a good start

Burnes and Adames to Dodgers for Gavin Lux Gavin Stone and Michael Busch. That would be fair trade for both sides.

I like the way you think. Both guys would be monsters for us.

[Dodgerfan74]

This is the Fun part of the offseason-Hot Stove League. Lots of speculation and trade ideas

[Dodgerfan74]

Yammato is going to be posted. Dodgers sign him and Blake Snell. Dodgers would have a terrific starting staff

[Dodgerfan74]

Dodgers protect these 3 prospects by putting on 40 man roster
Nick Frasso, RHP (No. 4/MLB No. 65)
+ Landon Knack, RHP (No. 9)
+ Hunter Feduccia, C (No. 29)

[DMACcollector]

I like all three.

Rumor-White Sox & Dodgers talking trade
Dylan Cease and maybe Luis Robert?
For:
Vargas, Busch, 2 of young pitchers not named Bobby Miller, and an young outfielder/prospect

[Gatorsmld]

Not a Dodgers guy, but I would like to see Drew Avans get a call up! Used to work with his mother and met him a few times. Good kid who works hard.

[Dodgerfan74]

Gatorsmld-Haven’t heard name Drew Avans
