The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to begin the World Series on Friday night against the New York Yankees.
However, they are already being linked to top free agents. We can certainly surmise that the Dodgers will be very active this winter as they try to bolster their roster and make another trip to the Fall Classic.
Right-hander Corbin Burnes will be a free agent after a 15-win season with the Baltimore Orioles, and The Athletic’s Jim Bowden listed the Dodgers as one of the best fits for the former Cy Young Award winner.
“This will be the fifth consecutive year that Corbin Burnes finishes in the top eight in Cy Young Award voting. Burnes went 15-9 with 181 strikeouts and a 1.096 WHIP in his first season in the American League after the Orioles traded for him in February,” Bowden wrote.
“He’s pitched more than 190 innings three years in a row and is 60-36 with a 3.19 ERA over 199 games in his career. He will be, and should be, the most sought-after free-agent pitcher this offseason.”
