The Los Angeles Dodgers were one of the most successful teams following the trade deadline in July. Making acquisitions like reliever Michael Kopech, utility man Tommy Edman, and starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, the Dodgers fortified their roster down the stretch.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

However, the Los Angeles front office likely won\u2019t be doing much next season around the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal is to not buy in July,\u201d president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has said this offseason. \u201cI am setting that out there right now. My goal is to do everything we can right now to not buy in July. It is terrible.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

During the trade deadline, the prices of players are much higher than they would\u2019ve been in the winter. While the Dodgers made some key additions last season in July, the team is hoping to fortify the roster this offseason in order to avoid any last minute trades.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers have already made multiple signings this winter, taking arguably the best starting pitcher off the market in free agent ace Blake Snell. The Dodgers also signed outfielder Michael Conforto and reliever Blake Treinen on the eve of the Winter Meetings.<\/p>\n

The latest signing was the long-awaited return of outfielder Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez, who will be returning to the Dodgers on a three-year, $66 million contract. Just two days after Christmas, Hern\u00e1ndez posted on his Instagram story a black background with this caption: \u201cI\u2019m back.\u201d After weeks of contrasting reports, Hern\u00e1ndez finally found his way back to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Now that the Dodgers secured their outfield bat in Hern\u00e1ndez, the team will likely turn to signing another high-leverage arm in the bullpen.<\/p>\n

While the Dodgers were linked to change-up specialist Devin Williams for several weeks, the New York Yankees snagged him. Williams was even surprised to hear he was joining the American League, because he kept being told he would be going to the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

There is now speculation the Dodgers will pivot to free agent reliever Tanner Scott, a Friars free agent. If the Dodgers hope to be silent during the trade deadline next season, then it\u2019s practically a guarantee more moves will be coming soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
