Dodgers GM's comments suggest more impact signings (or trades) are on the way

Outside of the Los Angeles Dodgers' signing Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million deal, LA has been strangely quiet this offseason. The Dodgers also signed Michael Conforto and re-signed Blake Treinen on the first night of Winter Meetings, but they clearly spent the rest of the event working behind the scenes because little else came out of it.

Snell and Conforto were surprises while Treinen's return felt a bit like a given, but over the last week and some change, nary a peep has come out of the Dodgers front office while the rest of the league continues to make moves.

This will garner little, if any, sympathy from opposing fanbases, and apart from needing another outfielder (come on, Teoscar Hernández), LA's roster does look relatively complete. However, General Manager Brandon Gomes made it sound like the Dodgers aren't totally done despite the silence.

"We’ll continue to try to make moves we feel are needle-movers. Whether that’s impact moves, or depth moves, all those play into our quest to repeat," Gomes said, per Jack Harris of The Los Angeles Times.

That's a little vague, but the Dodgers have already dropped a few clues as to who they might pursue to keep bolstering their already-full 40-man roster.

With Devin Williams off the board, Tanner Scott looks like the clearest candidate for the Dodgers to add in free agency. There's interest on both sides, and the Dodgers could easily clear room for him in the bullpen by giving Michael Grove the bump from the 40-man. LA doesn't have a clear-cut strategy when it comes to bullpen usage, which actually worked out nicely for them at the tail end of the season and in the postseason. Although Scott has proven he can be an elite reliever, he'll also be able to move into different roles after half a season spent doing the same with the Padres.

If we had to guess, we'd say that the team is probably done with starting pitching. They already have seven viable options (well, technically six, until Clayton Kershaw officially re-signs) and despite some weird injury timelines for some of them, probably shouldn't spend big money on one more starter.

That leaves the outfield, and while fans still have every reason to be hopeful that Hernández will return, the Dodgers won't be left with many great options via free agency if he doesn't. They could reward Andy Pages' solid rookie season with a full-time role, but Hernández should still be their top priority.

We're in a lull right now in terms of moves, but the Dodgers are still in a better position than most of the league. Outside of Hernández, any new additions will really just be icing on the cake.
