Lost in the whirlwind of news and notes on Thursday was another Dodgers non-move that didn’t get much publicity. Yes, the club declined the 2023 contract option on Justin Turner while extending qualifying offers to Trea Turner and Tyler Anderson. They also brought back Clayton Kershaw on a one-year deal — though that is still not official as of the time of this writing.
But the non-move was the lack of qualifying offer to starting pitcher Andrew Heaney who is now a free agent. The move makes sense for sure. While Heaney was good in 2022, he also struggled to stay healthy and on the mound for much of the season.
