"The Dodgers should have plenty of financial flexibility to play with in the coming months, with more than $60 million in salary from last season set to come off the books (resulting from Clayton Kershaw's retirement, the expiration of contracts for Michael Conforto, Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech and others, and the team's decision to designate Tony Gonsolin for assignment last week)."
"They could also use upgrades at some of the deepest positions in this year's free agent class, namely a corner outfielder (where Kyle Tucker beckons as the biggest name available) and another top relief arm at the back end of the bullpen (where Edwin Díaz, Devin Williams, Robert Suarez and Pete Fairbanks will all be on the open market). Add in a farm system that MLB Pipeline ranked as the best in the majors this year -"
Almost everyone in baseball is waiting to see how aggressive the Dodgers will be this offseason. The front office arrived at MLB general managers' meetings with plans still in a formative stage. More than $60 million in payroll will come off the books due to retirements, contract expirations and roster moves. The team could pursue a corner outfielder and another back-end reliever from a deep free-agent class. A top-ranked farm system provides trade chips and roster flexibility. Major additions are possible but not urgent given the intact star-studded core, and the outfield and bullpen will be explored.
