Dodgers Opening Day

Yesterday was Opening Day in Major League Baseball. The Dodgers infield and outfield has changed since last season. Some key outgoing players were:
  • Matt Kemp
  • Hanley Ramirez
  • Dee Gordon
The Dodgers Acquired:
  • Kendrick Morales
  • Jimmy Rollins
  • Brandon McCarthy
These are some of the key players who came and went, whether by trade or via free agency. I do say I am disappointed to see Kemp and Gordon depart, as they were some of my favorite Dodgers however I understand that as much as baseball is a sports for fans, it is a business. The Dodgers made some sound business decisions to make the franchise stronger. The Dodger outfield went from
  • Carl Crawford
  • Matt Kemp
  • Andre Either/Yasiel Puig 
to
  • Carl Crawford
  • Joc Pederson
  • Yasiel Puig
We will see if this creates better defense and offensive for the Dodgers outfield. Last season our defense was ok and our offense lost itself during the postseason. 

Here is to a new season! Go Doyers!
