The Stanton sweepstakes are over for the Dodgers as he appears headed to the Yankees. While it would have been fun to see Bellinger and Stanton mash forty or more home runs each, adding Stanton was never part of the Dodgers’ off-season plan. In fact, we still don’t know if the Dodgers were truly invested in acquiring Stanton.
This off-season was abruptly started after a game seven loss that will stick in the minds of the Dodgers forever. Their priorities are to either re-sign or replace Brandon Morrow, add an additional reliever with Tony Watson now a free agent, and to possibly add another starting pitcher.
