The Dodgers have won the offseason, spending north of a billion dollars in free agency, acquiring the likes of Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and more. It’s a plethora of impressive additions to a baseball club that was already one of the best in baseball last season, and it’s led to many already pegging them as MLB’s next super-team.
OI have the utmost respect for the Dodgers organization. outside of the fact that they usually fall short in the postseason, they have been the most well-ran club over the last two decades. Not only do they have the ability to spend money, but when they do, they usually hit home runs with their signings. They also draft and develop players as well as any organization, leading to 11 straight postseason appearances. Over that stretch, the Dodgers have made it to three World Series, winning one in 2020.
Much like the Braves, the Dodgers are a well-oiled machine from top to bottom, but as we see every season, spending sprees don’t always work out the way clubs anticipate.I’m also not high on Bo Nix as a prospect, but J.J. McCarthy is intriguing. He finished his collegiate career before he even turned 21 years old, winning a National Championship. McCarthy was never the focal point of the offense for the Wolverines, and I would argue they didn’t do a fantastic job of accentuating his strengths. That will change at the next level.
