Are the dodger repeat NL west champion hopes in danger?

During the very busy off-season, the Dodgers lost some big pieces to the team. Superstar shortstop Trea Turner, MVP Cody Bellinger, Utility man Justin Turner, and the list goes on. Now, the big question here is, will the Dodgers be the good team we’re all familiar with? Losing major aspects of your team and relying on top prospects can possibly be playing with fire. 

The Dodgers were a little silent during the off-season and kept their focus on minor-league players. Do the Dodgers plan on rebuilding their team? With the Padres and Giants creeping up to win the west for the past few years and also with the two teams having a pretty impressive off-season might mess with the Dodgers heavily. Fernando Tatis Jr. comes back again this season, Manny Machado is a Padre for life, Xander Bogaerts & Nelson Cruz are joining the all-star team, along with Juan Soto joining for another year. 

The Giants signed pretty talented players, along with adding to their bullpen. They signed former Blue Jay Ross Stripling, OF Mitch Haniger, RHP Kade McClure, and one of their most loved players of all time, Ronald Guzman (Minor League Deal). All three teams have the best rotations in the league. To name a few on each team, Clayton Kershaw( Dodgers), Julio Urías (Dodgers), Yu Darvish( Padres), Joe Musgrove(Padres), Logan Webb (Giants), and Alex Cobb( Giants). Who will own the NL West this season? Without a doubt, we can all look forward to a thrilling race to win the NL West this season. We have so much talent to watch, so get ready for an exciting season.
