I'll be an interesting off season for the Dodgers. Do they keep Turner or go after someone like Correa or Bogaerts?
Go after Judge and kick Bellinger to the curb?
Maybe Verlander but I would just stick with Kershaw because 1 year vs multi year deal that Verlander wants. Plus come playoffs, seem equal.
Maybe a little tampering wink wink...someone gets into Arenado's ear and he opts out for a big deal.
Also I'm such a curse, I assumed Braves, Dodgers, Yankees would move on. Obviously Yankees still alive. Never predict Astros series, only hope for them to win.
I expect the Dodgers to once again go balls out.
Turner will be allowed to walk (probably the right move, his entire game is based on speed and is turning 30 while already being an awful defender) and they'll probably do one of two things.
- sign one of the premium free agents to replace Turner (Correa being the most likely) and likely trade Gavin Lux for help elsewhere.
- keep Lux and move him to short full time and go absolutely all in by acquiring the mother of all names in Shohei Ohtani, which the Dodgers were apparently evaluating that possibility already when his name came up in the summer.
The Dodgers have never been one to rest on their laurels and are one of a very select few that can both put together a good package and afford the likely record shattering deal Shohei will get.
At that point it's basically someone's Diamond Dynasty squad run amok if they actually do that some
