Dodgers Roster Tweaking
November 6th, 2024 at 9:00 am by Jesse Pearce Should the Dodgers be outbid for each of their free agents (other than Clayton Kershaw), fail to sign a substantive MLB free agent from the 2025 class, and stand pat in the trade market, they will still be the overwhelming favorite to repeat as World Series Champions.
