Right about now… not the same as last season; Dodger fans are foaming at the mouth for the Dodgers to sign a slew of starting pitchers. They routinely talk like Andrew Freidman, and the front office is devoid of any common sense. They would be happy if the Dodgers signed Aaron Nola, Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Sonny Gray, Eduardo Rodriguez, Marcus Stroman, Lucas Giolito, Michael Wacha, Seth Lugo, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Shota Imanaga immediately… if not sooner. Of course, that would be a dope-fiend move!
At the start of last season, the Dodger’s rotation looked like this:
- Julio Urias – He was finally ready to take over as the Ace
- Clayton Kershaw – Was still regarded as a top pitcher
- Tony Gonsolin – Hopefully, over his arm problems the year before
- Dustin May – Supposed to be ready after arms surgery
- Noah Syndergaard – Asked to come to LA so they could fix him
Then they had Ryan Pepoit, Bobby Miller, Michael Grove, and Gavin Stone waiting in the wings.
