As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers are facing some intriguing decisions regarding their pitching rotation. With the likes of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and Blake Snell already locked in, the battle for the fifth starter spot is heating up between Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin.

Dustin May seems to have the edge according to Dodgers insider Jose Mota, but can we really trust his health after such a tumultuous recovery journey? On the flip side, Gonsolin, a former All-Star, has proven he can deliver when it counts. This raises some compelling questions:

Who do you think should claim the fifth spot in the rotation, and why? Is it worth risking May's health for the potential upside, or should Gonsolin's experience and reliability take precedence?

Moreover, how do you see the Dodgers managing their pitching depth this season? With the goal of becoming back-to-back champions, will they prioritize a strong starting rotation or a versatile bullpen?

Let’s also not forget about the impact of these decisions on the overall team dynamics. How do you think the competition for the fifth starter spot will affect team morale and performance as we head into the season?
