Many fans of the Dodgers seemed to have mixed feelings after the 2018 non-waiver deadline passed on Tuesday afternoon. Some folks believed that the offense became a potential juggernaut with the addition of infielder Brian Dozier, while others felt the team missed several beneficial opportunities by passing up numerous relievers which were eventually snatched up by rival clubs. Nevertheless, there’s still about a month remaining when clubs are able to make waiver trades, which gives Los Angeles an ample amount of time to sort out all of its internal resources.
Yesterday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reported that general manager Farhan Zaidi believes the Dodgers won’t necessarily need to scour the waiver wire, despite not completely having ruled out the possibility of making a late-season roster addition.
