Freddie Freeman's Ankle Woes: Will It Impact the Dodgers' Season? 

Freddie Freeman's recent comments about his lingering ankle injury have sparked a lot of conversation among Dodgers fans. After his impressive performance in the World Series, where he played through significant pain, it raises the question: how much should we expect from him this season?

Freeman mentioned that he might struggle with back-to-back games early in the season, which could impact the Dodgers' lineup and their overall performance.

Or should the Dodgers consider resting him more often to ensure he’s at his best for the playoffs?

With the rivalry heating up, how do you see the dynamics between these two teams evolving this season? Will the pressure of the rivalry push Freeman and the Dodgers to elevate their game, or could it lead to more injuries and setbacks?

Lastly, with the competition for roster spots heating up, who do you think will surprise us and make the Opening Day roster? Will it be one of the non-roster invitees, or do you think someone like Gavin Lux will prove the Dodgers wrong after his trade rumors?
