I can give you a definite “maybe” or “maybe not.” Who knows what Andrew Friedman will do? I would have thought that he would have signed Kenley Jansen for $16 million rather than sign Tyler Anderson for $8 million. For the sake of this conversation, I am leaving Trevor Bauer out of the conversation, but why do the Dodgers need another #5 starter?
Assuming Buehler, Urias and Kershaw are #1, #2, and #3, then here are the other pitchers vying for the #4 and #5 spots:
- Andrew Heaney
- Tony “Catman”Gonsolin
- David Price
- Tyler Anderson
OK, maybe that is not too many… especially if the Dodgers go with a 6-man rotation.
