Although signing Blake Snell, the starting pitcher, is unlikely, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still a possibility. Although Los Angeles invested heavily in adding talent this offseason, a team can never have too much pitching.
There has already been discussion regarding Snell with the Dodgers. Reporters have made connections between the two, and Los Angeles has also been mentioned as a sleeper team for the current Cy Young winner.

The Dodgers should definitely sign Snell to a similar deal if they can. Even though they have a very solid rotation, like everyone, a few injuries could make it problematic once more.
