Uncertainty Surrounds Dodgers as Manager and Key Players' Future Remain in Question

As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare to kick off the 2023 season, uncertainty looms over the team and its manager, Dave Roberts. The Dodgers are coming off a disappointing 2022 season, in which they missed the playoffs for the first time in Roberts' tenure.

Compounding the uncertainty is the fact that several key players are set to become free agents after the 2023 season, including star shortstop Corey Seager and outfielder Cody Bellinger. The team will have to decide whether to sign them to long-term contracts or let them walk.

Roberts, who has managed the Dodgers since 2016, also faces questions about his job security. While he led the team to a World Series title in 2020, his playoff record has been spotty, and some fans and analysts have called for his ouster.

Despite the uncertainty, the Dodgers remain a talented team, with a roster that includes stars like Mookie Betts, Clayton Kershaw, and Walker Buehler. But they will need to overcome the obstacles they face if they hope to return to the postseason in 2023.
