The Los Angeles Dodgers have built a young core nucleus of players that should compete for National League pennants for many years to come.
The luxury of having so many young, impact players like Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger is that they are still on their rookie contracts. It allows the Dodgers to spend money elsewhere on the free agent market to fill holes, or stay below the luxury tax threshold like they plan to do this season.
Seager and the other young players deserve to be rewarded a bit for their contributions though, and that happened on Wednesday as in addition to Bellinger, Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes receiving a bit of a raise for the 2018 season, so too did Seager, via Ronald Blum of the Associated Press:
The Los Angeles Dodgers have renewed the contracts of 2017 NL Rookie of the Year Cody Bellinger for $585,000 and of 2016 NL Rookie of the Year Corey Seager for $605,000.
