After remaining below the $197 million luxury tax threshold and therefore resetting their penalties, the Los Angles Dodgers were expected by many to be much more aggressive in free agency this winter.
If speculation was any indication, they are sure to sign or trade for at least one marquee player. Thus far, the Dodgers have been linked to Bryce Harper, Corey Kluber and J.T. Realmuto, among others.
The most unlikely of that trio may be Harper, as he’s widely expected to sign one of, if not the, richest contracts in American sports history. Harper reportedly rejected a 10-year, $300 million extension from the Washington Nationals late in the season.
