The Dodgers are gearing up for their World Series showdown against the Blue Jays starting on Friday evening in Toronto. It's Blake Snell vs. Trey Yesavage and Shohei Ohtani vs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and big payroll vs. even bigger payroll. A clash of titans, by all accounts.
LA's 26-man roster doesn't present any surprises on the position player front; in fact, no new changes at all. The pitching staff, however, contains a few eyebrow-raisers for fans.
The Dodgers announced on Thursday night that Alex Vesia would be away from the team attending to a "deeply personal family matter," but in the immediate aftermath, the Dodgers were undecided as to who would take his spot on the roster.
