The Los Angeles Dodgers only had three starters throughout the Fall Classic and manager Dave Roberts had to use the bullpen a lot to win the World Series against the New York Yankees in five games. For that reason, the priority in the next market will be to reinforce the pitching rotation to have five or six starters throughout the campaign.
The Dodgers’ big goals
The pitchers they have in mind will be the Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki and the other is MLB All-Star pitcher Garrett Crochetaccording to The Athletic. Los Angeles is a likely candidate to acquire the 25-year-old left-hander in the next Major League Baseball transfer market.
Los Dodgers They had already shown interest in Crochet during the summer, but did not reach an agreement with the White Sox because they were asking for their number one prospect, catcher Dalton Rushing. So Garrett Crochet couldn’t land in Los Angeles during the trade deadline and finished the season in Chicago.

The left-hander was named to the American League All-Star Game for the first time since his MLB debut. He had a career-high 209 strikeouts and pitched 146 innings, the most in his career since 2021. Crochet has two more seasons left under contract with the White Sox and, through 2024, earned a salary of $800,000making him a very attractive financial option for the Dodgers.
