The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off of a disappointing NLCS defeat at the hands of the 2021 World Series Champion Atlanta Braves. While the Braves are undoubtedly deserving of the World Series trophy, there is no denying that the Dodgers were the most talented team in the league all season.

Andrew Friedman and the front office have done a tremendous job of building a talented and deep roster. While the team got cold at the wrong time, it is hard to look at last year’s roster and notice any significant holes.

Baseball is a game of mitigating holes and mistakes, so that is extremely impressive.

That is going to change this offseason, though, as there are a lot of moving parts that the Dodgers have to address. There are nine significant free agents that the team is going to have to decide the future of, and some of them are naturally going to leave.

There are some big holes that the Los Angeles Dodgers have to fill this offseason.

It is going to be a crazy ride. The Dodgers have already signed former Los Angeles Angels pitcher Andrew Heaney to a one-year, $8 million deal, so who knows what is up Friedman’s sleeve? He always seems to find the best hidden gems and he will probably end up filling these holes in the most unconventional way.

Let’s jump into the three holes that the Dodgers have to fill this offseason.
