News Analysis: Dodgers must address their thin starting rotation when the lockout ends

LA Times  

The Dodgers never expected to retain all their marquee free agents this winter. The Dodgers didn’t offer Kershaw a qualifying offer last month because they didn’t want to pressure him as he makes his decision, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. But Scherzer’s departure — he left for $130 million over three years — also makes a reunion important for baseball reasons because starting pitching is the Dodgers’ most pressing need. Whether he’ll remain there for the Dodgers beyond next year is unknown; Turner is slated to strike gold in free agency next winter. The Dodgers have also reportedly reached out to Carlos Correa, one of the faces of the Houston Astros’ cheating scandal and an elite 27-year-old shortstop.
