Predictions for Dodgers Newcomers in 2015

The Los Angeles Dodgers revamped their roster this offseason with a flurry of moves during the winter meetings, trading away several popular players in an effort to improve the team's defense and chemistry.

New president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Farhan Zaidi also acquired some starting pitchers to shore up the back end of an already promising rotation for 2015.

Predictions for Each Top Offseason Acquisition's Career with the Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks needed to be active this offseason after an MLB-worst 64-98 record in 2014.

How the Los Angeles Dodgers Have Left Themselves Exposed Entering 2015

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won 92 and 94 games the past two seasons, as well as the National League West both times, and are once again considered by many (if not most) to be the favorites in that division in 2015.

High-Upside Yoan Lopez Signing Is Worth Record-Setting Amateur Deal

The Arizona Diamondbacks have spent a hefty sum of money to bring aboard a young Cuban talent with lots of upside.

No, this is not a delayed reaction to their signing of right-handed slugger Yasmany Tomas. The Diamondbacks have bagged another one: Yoan Lopez.

Biggest Winners and Losers from Arizona Diamondbacks' Offseason

Biggest Winners and Losers from Dodgers Offseason

There's less than three months remaining until Opening Day, and the Los Angeles Dodgers look decidedly different than they did at the beginning of the offseason.

For starters, the front office was stripped down and replaced with a new regime headed by president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Farhan Zaidi.

Projecting the Los Angeles Dodgers' 5-Man Rotation for 2015

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ rotation is undoubtedly the strength of the team. It is loaded.

Two Cy Young winners head the staff, and the back half is talented as well. Legitimate arguments can be made that Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke and Hyun-jin Ryu are each among the top 20 pitchers in all of baseball, and new acquisitions Brandon McCarthy and Brett Anderson have question marks but are talented.

The Arizona Diamondbacks enter 2015 with much uncertainty regarding their starting rotation.

According to the depth chart, Josh Collmenter is listed as the team's top starting pitcher. He is followed by Rubby De La Rosa, Jeremy Hellickson, Allen Webster and Vidal Nuno.

3 Missing Pieces the Dodgers Could Still Land This Winter

One of the Los Angeles Dodgers' biggest weaknesses last season was their bullpen.

It was no secret, and the numbers didn't lie. Los Angeles relievers in 2014 surrendered more earned runs than 18 other bullpens in the majors, and only four other relief corps finished the year with a higher walk rate.
