According to both Pedro Moura of the Athletic and Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the Dodgers have narrowed down their offseason plan to right around 12 potential targets. Moura tweeted that Andrew Friedman’s 12 players are “primarily elite,” while Gurnick tweeted that Friedman feels the bullpen is his most pressing need. Gurnick also mentioned that trades currently in the works will become “crystalize[d]” over the course of the week.
With those two reports in mind, the Dodgers seem to be nearing some big news for the first time this offseason. Realistically, the last big splashes the Dodgers made came via trades for Yu Darvish and Manny Machado in 2017 and 2018, with the Joe Kelly and A.
