The Los Angeles Dodgers reached the World Series for the first time since 1988 and played to the last possible day of the 2017 season, but ultimately came up short in ending their championship drought. Thus, MLB free agency began the following morning, marking the start of the offseason.
Unlike last winter, where there was a clear focus from Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman to re-sign Rich Hill, Kenley Jansen and Justin Turner, what’s ahead this offseason is somewhat uncertain. It’s not beyond reason to believe the club may be more active in the trade market than free agency.
