"The Los Angeles Dodgers spent the weekend celebrating the illustrious career of Clayton Kershaw, but what has turned into a phenomenal 18 seasons with one team could have been very different according to an interview with Yankees front office executive Brian Cashman. Needless to say, the Dodgers are lucky a deal never materialized and Kershaw stayed in LA. In other news, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman wants to see a rule change in MLB pertaining to superstar Shohei Ohtani. His proposal could potentially open the door for Ohtani to pitch out of the bullpen and still stay in the game as a hitter after his time on the mound is done."
"Finally, southpaw reliever Tanner Scott has a new mindset for the rest of the season. With sky-high expectations and a lucrative contract to match, Scott is tied for the most blown saves in MLB and has an ERA of 4.64."
"The Dodgers and Dave Roberts are hopeful that Will Smith will return to the team once the postseason starts ?Smith is currently dealing with a hairline fracture and likely won't be back for this last week of the regular season."
Clayton Kershaw spent 18 seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a potential trade to the New York Yankees was once explored but never completed, keeping him in Los Angeles. Andrew Friedman is proposing an MLB rule change that could allow Shohei Ohtani to pitch from the bullpen and remain in the lineup as a hitter after pitching. Southpaw reliever Tanner Scott is enduring a difficult season, tied for the most blown saves in MLB with a 4.64 ERA and has adopted a new mindset for the remainder of the year. Catcher Will Smith is managing a hairline fracture and is unlikely to return for the final regular-season week but could be available for the postseason. The Dodgers reached franchise milestones during the final home game, and manager Dave Roberts and Kershaw addressed potential postseason roles and Ohtani’s position possibilities.
