Aaron Judge heading to Chavez Ravine? Five big questions for the Dodgers offseason.
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers thought they'd still be playing right now.
Instead, as the World Series winds down and the start of the offseason beckons, the winningest team in baseball this season is already looking ahead to next year, mapping out a winter in which it will try to reload its roster and reconcile its latest postseason disappointment.
At this juncture, there are several paths in front of the Dodgers.
They could bring back the bulk of a team that won a franchise-record 111 games as well as the NL West division, or opt for larger-scale changes in the wake of their NLDS defeat to the San Diego Padres.
They could be one of the sport's biggest spenders in free agency, or remain relatively quiet and trust their internal depth to improve the roster in 2023.
As always, they'll have ample options to choose from, and few financial restrictions holding them back.
