The Dodgers are facing a tough start to the season with the news that young reliever Edgardo Henriquez will miss the beginning of the year due to a foot injury. This raises some intriguing questions about the team's depth and future.
Henriquez, who has already made a name for himself with postseason experience despite limited regular-season innings, was seen as a potential breakout star for 2025. With his impressive minor league stats and upper-90s fastball, many were excited to see how he would perform in a full season. Now, with his injury, how do you think this will impact the Dodgers' bullpen and their overall chances this season?
Moreover, Manny Machado's bold prediction that the Padres could overtake the Dodgers in the NL West by 2025 adds another layer to this discussion. Do you think the Padres have what it takes to dethrone the Dodgers, especially with the current injury woes?
And what about the other young pitchers in the Dodgers' system? With Dave Roberts hinting that two young arms will play key roles this season, who do you think will step up in Henriquez's absence?
Let’s dive into the implications of these developments. Are the Dodgers still the team to beat in the NL West, or is it time to consider the Padres as serious contenders? Share your thoughts and predictions!
