LA now has 39 players on the 40-man roster, for now
The Dodgers did not tender a contract to left-handed pitcher Andrew Vasquez on Tuesday, making him a free agent. That opens a spot on the 40-man roster once the signing of relief pitcher Daniel Hudson becomes official.
The other 28 players on the 40-man roster not already signed for 2022 were tendered contracts before Tuesday’s deadline to do so. The usual tender deadline is December 2, but MLB players and...

Two separate IL stints cost Alexander majority of his season
It was another lost year for Scott Alexander, who only appeared in 18 games with the Dodgers before injuries wiped out his season.
Expected to be one of the go-to left-handed options out of the bullpen for LA in 2021, Alexander only threw 15.1 innings. Over the last three seasons, Alexander combined to throw only 45 innings.
The lefty began the season on the 26-man roster, and was...

LA selected his contract and added him to the 40-man roster on August 7. Quackenbush came out of the bullpen on August 8 against the Angels. His stint was...

A pair of huge deals
The two highest rungs on the Dodgers free agent ladder are headed elsewhere after massive contracts agreed to Monday. Max Scherzer set a record with his over $43.3 million average annual salary in a three-year contract with the Mets, while shortstop Corey Seager got a 10-year, $325 million deal from the Rangers.
Seager is the latest, and by far the best, of the many, many recent former Dodgers to...
The Phillies have “serious interest” in free agent reliever Corey Knebel as well as outfielder Kyle Schwarber.
Freeman, a five-time All-Star, has been a Brave for his entire 12-year MLB career, so it would be pretty shocking to see him end up with the National League rival Dodgers.

Major League Baseball’s collective bargaining agreement, the document agreed upon by players and owners, which governs the sport, expires on December 1 at 8:59 p.m. PT. We’ve known this for quite some time, but it seemed so abstract and far away in the future. But now the time is nearly here. December 1 is Wednesday.
This week could be relatively busy for a few days, before things get awfully quiet.
Most signs point to a lockout...

LA acquired a dominant ace for the stretch run
Max Scherzer was dominant after the Dodgers acquired him at the trade deadline, expertly filling a void in a depleted rotation. But an arm injury derailed an otherwise strong October.
At the time of the July 30 trade with the Nationals, the Dodgers starting rotation consisted Walker Buehler and Julio Urías, limited versions of David Price and Tony Gonsolin (who would be placed on the injured list one day...
