As previously mentioned, Justin Dean is now a Giant.

 

Tony Gonsolin did not accept his assignment so he is a free agent

 

Ben Rortvedt was claimed by the Cincinnati Reds.  Dodgers had hoped they could outright him and assign him to AAA but not after he played well down the stretch.  Realistically their back up catcher is young.  He’s a lefty.  That’s what you want opposite Will Smith.   Dalton Rushing.  Not sure why Rushing wasn’t on the post season roster.  Maybe because he was slumping or hurt.  I don’t remember.

 

When I posted previously that LA had $73 million coming off the books I forgot Chris Taylor.  So that is more like $87 million, except it cost them $4 mil to buy him out.

 

Either way not sure if they are looking to reduce payroll or going to spend all they saved.  But appears they could likely afford a decent closer and a lF.  I no longer see the power hitting 3B Japanese guy as a possibility.  Always fun to find out
