With Trea Turner hitting free agency, the Dodgers are working to figure out who their shortstop will be in 2023. It could be Turner again, as he's said he's open to coming back to L.A. and the team has a lot of money. They could go after one of the other "big four" free-agent shortstops: Carlos Travis Shaw Jersey Correa, Xander Bogaerts, or Dansby Swanson.Or they could go internally, with Gavin Lux, Jacob Amaya, and Chris Taylor all being names they've discu sed.

Of course. That was an extra level above where it (the teams offense) had been, Friedman said. Weve had a lot of really good Manny Pina Jersey offenses over the last five to seven years and theyve looked a little bit different at different points in time.It's unrealistic to expect the Dodgers to be even better in 2023 than they were in 2022. (Of course, we're all hoping for and expecting a better postseason performance.) At some point, it's hard to even maintain a level of excellence.

That's that "extra level" Friedman mentions.Scroll to ContinueLos Angeles could put together an outstanding team even if they go with an unproven option at shortstop, and it might come to that. The "Big Three" for the Dodgers got mentioned so often because it's such a rare thing to have. With or without Trea, L.A. will Alex Claudio Jersey be a very good team in 2023.
