Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off their best regular season in franchise history. In the 2022 season, they cruised to 111 wins topping the NL West. Furthermore, they had the best record in the whole League. Unfortunately, they fell short in the postseason, getting knocked out in the Divisional Round.

Many expected the Dodgers to be active this off-season and add some star power via free agency or trade. But the team has made smaller-scale deals so far this off-season, sticking with the same core from last year. But in the latest news, the Dodgers have signed one of their veteran infielders to a contract extension.
