The Dodgers' pitching rotation is already facing some turbulence as we head into the 2025 season. With Tony Gonsolin sidelined due to a weightlifting injury, Dustin May has stepped up to claim the No. 5 starter spot. This situation raises some intriguing questions about the future of both pitchers and the overall depth of the Dodgers' rotation.

First off, how do you feel about Dustin May's comeback story? After battling through multiple injuries, including a near-fatal incident last year, he’s finally getting his shot. Can he maintain this momentum and prove he’s back for good? Or do you think the pressure of being a starter might hinder his performance?

On the flip side, Gonsolin's injury is a tough blow, especially after his own struggles with recovery from Tommy John surgery. What does this mean for his future with the team? Is this a sign that he might not be able to reclaim his spot in the rotation, or could this just be a minor setback in a long career?

Moreover, with Dave Roberts recently signing a record-breaking contract extension, how do you think this will impact the team's decision-making moving forward? Will he feel more pressure to make bold moves, or will he play it safe to ensure stability?

Let’s also talk about the broader implications for the Dodgers. With the uncertainty surrounding their pitching staff, do you think they should consider making a trade to bolster their rotation? If so, who should they target?

Join the conversation and share your thoughts! What are your predictions for May and Gonsolin this season? How do you see the Dodgers navigating these challenges?
