The Los Angeles Dodgers have surprisingly been fairly quiet in MLB free agency over the last month-and-a-half, and it seems there is a specific and expensive reason why.
A new report reveals that the ongoing situation with suspended starting pitcher Trevor Bauer has had a major effect on the team’s offseason decision-making.
Many of the big and mid-market teams around the league got in the spending mix to upgrade their rosters over the last few weeks, yet the Dodgers haven’t made much noise beyond random speculation. The organization is one of the biggest spenders on payroll each year, yet the Dodgers’ most notable moves in the offseason were releasing former National League MVP Cody Bellinger and re-signing Clayton Kershaw at a discounted rate.
