Los Angeles Dodgers: 3 Overlooked Storylines Heading Into Spring Training

The Dodgers head into Spring Training with one of the best 40-man rosters in all of baseball. They have stability in their infield, rotation, and bullpen and only face a few questions heading into the regular season. With the core of their roster still in tack, this Spring Training might be more about evaluating their young prospects. However, that doesn’t mean they are short of storylines to monitor before Opening Day.

The prospective Los Angeles Dodgers Opening Day roster isn’t drastically different from their World Series roster. We already know six of the eight starters that will be on the field at the start of the season. The central questions that have been getting a lot of attention are the left field and catching timeshare. Spring Training will inevitably influence Dave Roberts’ decision at these positions, but aside from those question, there are some other overlooked storylines.

Other questions about the Dodgers fifth starter and setup man also received some attention, but there is more to examine under the hood. Starting with the losses of Yu Darvish, Brandon Morrow, and Tony Watson.

These three played a critical role in the Dodgers advancing to their first World Series in 29 years. With Darvish and Morrow now in Chicago and Watson still on the open market, one of the first things the Dodgers need to do is find replacements.
