The Los Angeles Dodgers had a dominant offseason, especially coming off their eighth championship in franchise history. A major trade proposal with the team that they just beat in the World Series, the New York Yankees, would see them bring in a top prospect in a position that is lacking in depth.

Additionally, there has been a major update in the health of World Series MVP Freddie Freeman. After being sidelined for both Tokyo Series games, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gave an update regarding his availability for the Dodgers’ home opener.

Finally, former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias has been suspended by the league for violating domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse policies set by MLB. Urias has been out of baseball on any level since September 2023.
