With the expiring contracts of Trea Turner, Craig Kimbrel, David Price and other free agents, the Dodgers already had about $70M coming off the books. So what will the Dodgers do with their financial flexibility?
If Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer believes he is innocent, he should do everything in his power to fight allegations of sexual assault, Rusty Hardin says.Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner bats against the Arizona Diamondbacks in September.
Though the Dodgers allowed Justin Turner and Bellinger to become free agents, they’re still holding out hope of bringing both players back in 2023.Turner, who had his $16 million club option declined last week, told AM570 he remains “in good standing with the Dodgers” but also noted that “it’s also a business, and things happen and decisions are made, that sometimes are out of our control, so we’ll see what happens.
Bellinger, who likely would have made more than $18 million through arbitration had he been tendered a contract, will now be in the same boat, and is expected to draw plenty of interest from other teams willing to take a flier on a former MVP. “We feel like with our staff and resources that, getting him to work this offseason, we have a real chance of working with him to help get him back on track,” Friedman said. “But he gets to go out and make the best decision for him and his family and we’ll see where that ends up.”Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux throws to first during a game against the Kansas City Royals in August.
The Dodgers don’t necessarily need superstars, or familiar faces, to fill all of their current 2023 roster holes.They could look into cheaper starting pitching options and try to replicate the success they had last season withat shortstop, and fill out the rest of their infield with a mixture of younger players and low-cost veterans.
