Five questions facing the Dodgers at GM Meetings:
1. Who will manage the team in 2016?
Chicago Cubs bench coach Dave Martinez will become the ninth candidate to enter the race. The other confirmed candidates: Gabe Kapler, Dave Roberts, Ron Roenicke, Tim Wallach, Bud Black, Bob Geren, Kirk Gibson and Darin Erstad.
2. Which coaches will be retained?
First-base coach Davey Lopes already left for Washington, and none of the other coaches have contracts for 2016. That’s unlikely to change until a manager is hired, and that search could last until the Winter Meetings begin Dec.
