Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertain offseason after early postseason exit
The Los Angeles Dodgers face uncertainty after their earliest postseason exit in three years. Shohei Ohtani struggled with injuries and didn't pitch after the All-Star break. He may need offseason surgery, but it's unclear if his recovery would affect next season. A potential MLB lockout looms with the collective bargaining agreement expiring Dec. 1. Team owners have proposed a salary cap, which the players' union rejects.
The Dodgers had the second-highest payroll this year and could be constrained by a cap. Nine players, including pitcher Tarik Skubal, are set to become free agents. Infielder Miguel Rojas has announced his retirement.
