Dodgers begin spring training as Freddie Freeman speculation continues to swirl

LA Times  

Usually, Major League Baseball’s offseason hot stove plays out behind the scenes, with executives operating in the shadows and news leaking out slowly on social media. On Monday, however, free-agent speculation took center stage at Camelback Ranch during the Dodgers’ first official workout of spring training. Just past 11 a.m., Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes walked out of the team’s offices to watch pitchers throw bullpen sessions. “So he’s got a decision to make.” On Monday, however, Roberts’ attention had to be elsewhere as he watched this roster up close for the first time. “Hadn’t faced hitters, hadn’t thrown off a dirt mound yet — to do all that stuff and come away feeling good and feel my stuff was in a decent spot was encouraging.” Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw warms up during a spring training workout on Sunday in Phoenix.
