The Los Angeles Dodgers opened Spring Training this year with the core of a roster that won a franchise-record 106 games still intact, and further bolstered by the additions of Mookie Betts and David Price, and to a lesser extent, Brusdar Graterol.
And even with losing Rich Hill and Hyun-Jin Ryu in free agency, David Freese to retirement, and Kenta Maeda in a trade with the Minnesota Twins, the Dodgers aren’t lacking for depth throughout their roster.
“I think it’s been a theme during my time here. Understanding we won 106 games last year and we talked a lot about sacrifice and depth,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said.
