Dodgers News: Expert Predicts Miguel Vargas Wins NL Rookie of the Year Award

The Dodgers are heading into the 2023 season with quite the youth movement. Miguel Vargas is going to be the starting second baseman; James Outman is going to get the “lion’s share” of at-bats against righties in center field; and Ryan Pepiot and Andre Jackson are opening the season in the rotation and bullpen, respectively. And behind those guys, Gavin Stone looks ready, Bobby Miller will get his opportunity and Michael Busch and Michael Grove should get their chances sooner rather than later.

Suffice to say, the Dodgers are going to have their fair share of candidates to win the Rookie of the Year Award this season, and over at the New York Post, MLB insider Jon Heyman thinks Vargas is going to ultimately take it home.
