While most of the offseason’s heavy-lifting has been completed, the Los Angeles Dodgers still have some work to do to round out the 40-man roster for the 2017 season.

After re-signing the three major internal free agents, the club’s biggest remaining need is finding a solution to the woes against left-handed pitching from a year ago.

A future trade for Dozier shouldn’t be ruled out completely, whether later this offseason or closer to the non-waiver trade deadline, because of the extensive framework done by both teams.

But with those talks at an impasse for now, the Dodgers need to explore all other options, whether it’s finding an alternative second baseman or adding to the outfield mix, which president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman alluded to.
