The Los Angeles Dodgers have had the decision on their fifth starting pitcher in the rotation made for them as an All-Star pitcher was injured while lifting weights. This leaves a promising arm who has been away from MLB for almost two years to get the nod to start the season in the rotation.
Additionally, the Dodgers have finally agreed to a record-breaking contract extension with manager Dave Roberts. He is now the highest-paid manager in MLB history in terms of average annual value.
Roberts had a busy day as he also revealed the status of James Outman making the trip with the team to Japan for the Opening Series against the Chicago Cubs.
