The Los Angeles Dodgers did not make too many additions to their roster this off-season but the most additions came to their starting rotation. The Dodgers brought back former Dodger Alex Wood on a one year deal and they also signed former Brewer ace Jimmy Nelson to a year contract. Wood and Nelson will join a heated starting rotation competition that includes Julio Urias, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Ross Stripling, and Kenta Maeda who are all competing for rotation spots after Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw.
This might be the first year that Clayton Kershaw doesn’t get the opening day rotation when he is healthy given the breakout postseason performances of Walker Buehler.
