The Dodgers‘ front office is always thinking proactively with the future in mind. They are always looking to add more depth whenever they can, whether it be on the cheap or expensive. Most of their transactions to add depth have been under-the-radar and uninspiring moves which have had positive influences for the most part. For this specific offseason it was the Frankling Gutierrez deal first, and then a trade with the Seattle Mariners that brought back two lesser-known prospects.
Now the Dodgers have decided to sign 32-year-old Justin Masterson. This is going to be more of a reclamation project if anything, because Masterson is aging and has struggled in recent seasons in the majors.
