The Los Angeles Dodgers have been active in the offseason, adding pitcher Blake Snell and re-signing Tommy Edman, while also reportedly signing outfielder Michael Conforto. With the Winter Meetings approaching, the team is looking to retain key free agents like Walker Buehler and Clayton Kershaw, and potentially sign Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki.

As one of the wealthiest teams in MLB, the Dodgers have a significant tax payroll and are utilizing deferred contracts to manage their finances. This strategy allows them to maintain flexibility in spending while pursuing top talent.
