The Dodgers have kicked off the 2025 MLB season with a bang, but not without facing some serious challenges. After winning their first two games against the Cubs in Tokyo, the team had to deal with the absence of two of their biggest stars, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, due to health issues. This raises some intriguing questions about the team's resilience and depth.

How do you think the Dodgers will cope with the potential long-term absence of key players like Betts and Freeman? Can they maintain their championship-level performance with a roster that might be missing its MVPs?

Max Muncy mentioned that the team has a mentality of stepping up in the face of adversity. Do you believe this mindset is enough to carry them through the season, or do they need to make moves to bolster their lineup?

Speaking of moves, there’s buzz about a blockbuster trade proposal involving the Yankees. What are your thoughts on this? Is it time for the Dodgers to shake things up, or should they trust their current roster to find its rhythm?

And let’s not forget about Julio Urias, who has been suspended for violating MLB policies. How do you think this will impact the pitching rotation and the team's overall strategy moving forward?

Join the conversation! Share your predictions for the Dodgers this season, your thoughts on their current roster, and how you think they can navigate the challenges ahead. Will they rise to the occasion, or are we in for a rocky road?
