The Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation underwent some notable changes this offseason, beginning with longtime pitching coach Rick Honeycutt stepping down from the position. Mark Prior will now occupy the role after spending the previous two seasons as bullpen coach.
The group additionally lost two key contributors in Hyun-Jin Ryu and Rich Hill. The former turned a career 2019 season into a four-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays, while the latter signed an incentives-laden one-year pact with the Minnesota Twins.
Even with those departures, the Dodgers’ starting rotation figures to remain a strong point heading into the 2020 season.
