Roster Moves

The MLB hot stove season has gotten off to a slow start.  As a result one thing to look forward to in 2019 is 2018’s free agency.  The Dodgers traded away Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp which means more moves are coming.  Will the Dodgers spend big and bring in the crown jewel of free agency Bryce Harper?  It remains to be seen if the Dodgers will offer Harper the long term deal he is asking for but there is a chance they land a whale in free agency.

Should the Dodgers miss out on Harper, they will still pursue other free agents.  AJ Pollock could find himself manning centerfield at Chavez Ravine in 2019 if the Dodgers wish to add more right-handed thump to their lineup.  If LA seeks the trade route, they have been connected to Nick Castellanos, J.T. Realmuto, and Corey Kluber.  Sometime soon the free agency period will pick up and the Dodgers will have plenty of big moves left to make at the start of 2019.
