Kyle Tucker? A top closer? Dodgers deciding between wants and ‘needs’ as offseason begins

LAS VEGAS — Almost everyone in baseball, it seems, is waiting to see how aggressive the Dodgers will be this offseason.

The Dodgers should have plenty of financial flexibility to play with in the coming months, with more than $60 million in salary from last season set to come off the books (resulting from Clayton Kershaw’s retirement, the expiration of contracts for Michael Conforto, Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech and others, and the team’s decision to designate Tony Gonsolin for assignment last week).
