Dodgers manager Dave Roberts knows that changes will be necessary for his postseason-bound roster to avoid another historic collapse like last year.
LA’s skipper is now focused on a new approach to his team’s first round bye in 2023, much like the other prospective NL favorite this season.
Roberts’ club dominated through a 111-win regular season for the franchise record in 2022, but it all fell apart in October.
For no apparent reason the Dodgers took their divisional rival too lightly in the NLDS and got burnt for their seemingly lackadaisical attitude.
San Diego took three unanswered games over a four-game gentleman’s sweep to end LA’s historic season.
