All eyes have been on the Los Angeles Dodgers at the annual Winter Meetings this week as they have seemingly been involved in negotiations for every big free agent and trade candidate thus far into offseason.
The Dodgers have already missed out on Gerrit Cole despite reportedly giving him a competitive offer. He signed with the New York Yankees for nine years and $324 million, the largest contract ever for a pitcher.
With Cole no longer being an option, it seemed that the Dodgers would shift their focus to free-agent third baseman Anthony Rendon. Justin Turner is willing to move to first base if the team acquires a third baseman, and Rendon looks to be a perfect fit with what the Dodgers like to do philosophically offensively.
