Dodgers Quick Hits: Yusei Kikuchi, Free Agents, Bryce Harper

2019 has begun and so too has the final stretch of the offseason. Pitchers and catchers report in just over a month, leaving the Dodgers a dwindling amount of time to finish off the moves they are trying to make prior to the start of Spring Training.

Some of the moves are more likely to happen than others: the Dodgers need a catcher and they will get one whereas signing someone like Bryce Harper may not be as simple. The Dodgers want to add more relievers and either by trade or by signing, they will do it whereas trading for Corey Kluber specifically may not be as easy.

At the end of the day, changes, big or small, are on the horizon in Los Angeles and over the holiday break, changes in the smallest degree were already made. This time in the form of additions both to the Dodgers’ roster and elsewhere.

Here is the news to open 2019.
