Michael Busch and Yency Almonte were traded to the Cubs, and the Dodgers got a pair of intriguing minor leaguers in return, clearing 40-man space. Teoscar Hernández’s deal became official, and Los Angeles settled 2024 agreements for all 10 players eligible for salary arbitration.

Before we fully jump into 2024, we look back at various predictions – big and small – we made about the Dodgers in 2023. Some we got right, and some we got wrong, sometimes laughably so.

Power-hitting outfielder comes to Los Angeles on a reported 1-year, $23.5 million contract, continuing the Dodgers’ offseason of spending, while rounding out the lineup and position player group on the 40-man roster.

The Dodgers signed Japanese star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a record-setting contract, adding to an already momentous offseason that included signing Shohei Ohtani to a record-setting contract and trading for and signing Tyler Glasnow, all in a two-week span.

A very busy week for the Dodgers began with the Dodgers signing Shohei Ohtani to a record-setting, 10-year contract. Then the Dodgers acquired Tyler Glasnow from the Rays, adding pitcher to the top of the starting rotation.

Holy crap, the Dodgers landed their top target, signing Shohei Ohtani for a record-shattering $700 million over 10 years. The largest contract in MLB history.

Starting pitching and Shohei Ohtani are big-ticket items on the Dodgers’ to-do list at the 2023 winter meetings in Nashville. Plus, Jason Heyward is back with Los Angeles.

A first look at Dodgers free agency plus their offseason, including shoulder surgery for Clayton Kershaw and how that might affect his 2024 plans, and a two-year contract for Max Muncy. Plus, how Mookie Betts and current Rangers World Series MVP Corey Seager highlight the volatility of postseason performance.

Game 3 of the National League Division Series went a lot like the first two, with a Dodgers starting pitcher out early and an anemic LA offense unable to stage a comeback. The Diamondbacks swept away the 100-win Dodgers in three games.

The Dodgers had a disastrous first two games of the National League Division Series, with nightmare starts by Clayton Kershaw and Bobby Miller, plus very little offense from Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman and the bats. Los Angeles heads back to Phoenix down 2-0 in the best-of-5 series.

For the fourth year in a row, the Dodgers will play a National League West team in the Division Series. This time, it’s the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 NLDS.

The Dodgers won 100 games again, and will play either the Brewers or Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series.

The Dodgers are locked into the No. 2 seed in the National League, so we look ahead to their potential postseason roster, which doesn’t really have too much competition. Also, seasonal milestones achieved in the last week, and possibly still pending.

For the 11th year in a row, the Dodgers are back in the playoffs. How they deploy their pitching staff in October is less certain than in years past, but as Andrew Friedman explained, they will bring “big-boy stuff” to the table. Plus, Gavin Stone and the golden age of the three-inning save.

Julio Urías was arrested and is on MLB administrative leave. His time with the Dodgers is almost certainly over

Bobby Miller impressed as the Dodgers lost three of four games to the Braves, Walker Buehler started his rehab assignment, and Mookie Betts won National League player of the month for August.
