Things are looking downright grim in Dodgertown. One of the best teams in baseball history, the 2017 Dodgers, seemed poised to follow up a truly magical year with continued dominance. It would be amazing like last year, except this time, they would win one more game—they would win four contests in the World Series and bring home the crown.
Some fans became anxious when the front office made very few moves over the offseason. Not only did they not land any of the big whales (Stanton, Ohtani, etc.), they lost some key players (Ethier, Watson and Morrow). Brandon Morrow loomed large last year and there was no question the club would feel his absence.
