Are Two Dodgers Stars on Their Way Out? Hereโs the News Shocking Dodger Nation!
The offseason is heating up, and it looks like big changes could be on the horizon in Los Angeles. After locking in a major addition with Blake Snell, could the team really be about to lose two of its most beloved stars? Hold on, stay curious, because first, I want to ask you: Should the Dodgers invest in proven veterans or put their trust in young talent for 2025? Drop your answer in the comments and stick aroundโthis discussion is just getting started!
Snell Joins, but Flaherty and Buehler Could Be on Their Way Out
Blake Snellโs signing was a blockbuster move. The two-time Cy Young winner inked a five-year, $182 million deal, solidifying the rotation with one of the leagueโs best pitchers. But not all news is good news: insiders are already predicting that Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler wonโt return to Los Angeles this offseason.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports, both players are strong candidates to leave. Walker Buehler, who played a crucial role in the postseason, doesnโt seem to fit into the Dodgersโ future plansโeven after his recovery from Tommy John surgery. And Flaherty? The consensus is that with the teamโs growing pitching depth, his days in Dodger Blue may also be numbered.
Why Are They Leaving?
Nightengale suggests that Buehler might have accepted a $21 million qualifying offer, but the Dodgers chose not to extend one. This indicates that the team already sees an abundance of pitching talent in its rotation. Los Angeles is reportedly eyeing Japanese phenom Rลki Sasaki, further tightening the competition for rotation spots.
As for Flaherty, he joined the Dodgers as a midseason addition and performed well during the championship run. But with rising stars like Bobby Miller, Emmet Sheehan, and even Gavin Stone gaining valuable experience, itโs hard to imagine the team keeping both veterans around.
Now Itโs Your Turn, Fans!
Are the Dodgers making the right call by letting Buehler and Flaherty move on? Or should they focus on keeping experienced players to lead the charge in 2025?

hit good in the room and uh now he gets $74 million extension it there are two ways to look at this and we’re going to talk about the Dodgers for sure in a sec but I I wonder like what the Cardinals got in this three- team deal and it was the white socks the Dodgers and the Cardinals at the end of July they got uh Eric fetty who’s got another year on his deal and they got Tommy fam who’s a free agent now did they get enough in return for Tommy Edmond like I just well how many of their own guys are are stars elsewhere now a lot uh they traded him while he was injured you know so maybe they got something because he was injured but this a guy you lock up he’s an organizational guy regardless of the organization the Dodgers had just rewarded for what he did the Dodgers are projecting that he’s going to give them those kind of contributions for the next 5 years so he gets the long-term deal and Matt I I said this when they traded for him at trade deadline this none of this works for the Dodgers without mie bets mooki gives them such a luxury to be able to say okay uh we’ll put mooki at Short oh Edmond can play there we’ll put mookie back in right yeah oh I think this year we’ll move him to Second they can do so many things and be able to acquire a guy like Tommy Edmund because you have mookie bets and because mook’s bat carries like a big time hitter does and he can play all the positions for you you can not worry about offense when you go acquire Tommy Edmund who end up giving you more offense than they expected from a power standpoint you know but because of Muki being able to do so many things the Dodgers can do a million moves they can sit here right now and go do we get another outfielder oh maybe we’ll just put mookie back out there I mean they’re spending Monopoly money right I mean they’re they’re playing in a kind of different space in some of those long-term deals let me locking on the financials Get Low to these financials Dro not even uh I mean none of us could have dreamed of a payroll that could have all of this on the same page Otani of course completely backloaded and there’s the BET deal at the in the mid 300 that’s why that’s why the SoDo money to me is nuts talking about they want 600 million for stto he’s not nearly as good or versatile as mookie bets sorry that’s that’s why it’s hard to to look at how they’re get into that number I know JP gave us the add up on the numbers but JP started comparing on the pitchers the the everyday player the highest paid everyday player on the avv right now is Aaron judge at 40 million yeah and then it goes trout at 355 so considering those those commitments is their payroll room is their latitude for SoDo and La cuz we were thinking at the beginning of the off season that they were the favorites well because of yeah I say yes because of the Otani contract you’re paying Shi $2 million a year we have 388 players made 2 million last year in the big league cuz everybody’s just assuming that you know it’s a matter of when not where for the Mets to sign stto but you’re saying the Dodgers are very much involved in this I I would think they had the they have their number I’m sure just like the Yankees have a number well despite the fact that you know not only were was it those names and numbers that we talked about they added another one over the weekend when Blake Snell made it official to sign with the LA Dodgers and here is Snell welcoming himself to DOD Nation what up Dodger fans it’s Blake snow here really excited to be a Dodger can’t wait to win more championships with you guys and see y’all at Dodger Stadium you know where he’s at where where was he he’s at oon stadium in Eugene he went up to watch the Huskies get whooped by the Ducks his hometown team it doesn’t matter just say it doesn’t matter if he wasted money on playing fair for that cuz he just got a nice deal to to join the Dodgers 5 years $182 million uh and I think he’s the best pitcher in baseball right now Matt I said that a couple weeks ago I I really do I mean you look at he’s catching his stride right now if you look at what he’s done the second half of last year when he was healthy and in shape and in pitcher shape and you look at what he did the other two sa Youngs before that he’s in the prime of a run for about five 3 to 5 years that he’ll be the best pitcher in the league I mean this was the same story last year too after May May 5th I think was that date of de de demarcation in 2023 he took off and he was the best in the gives him an understanding of what money where it’s going to be you know we’re seeing the market settle is he north of 182 like if you had a dollar to spend which guy do you want what’s his I you got look at age and I mean I get we don’t have it all in the paper but like gutshot do you think he signs for more or less than what Snell got around the same okay you know I don’t think he cracks into the 250 or something like that but I think he’s you know 200 to 180 he’s somewhere in that range okay you know and there’s a bunch of suitors too I mean it feels like everybody’s in on him and you know we had more on on soda that we’ll get to a little bit later on but let’s get back to the Dodgers stto still on the table there um if teoscar moves on there’s an outfield spot like you can’t get enough starting pitching where do you think their next move is what kind of player uh I I I think they got to get an outfielder I mean either tasar Santander right SoDo you know if you’re talking really serious about Muki moving to second base then you got to replace him in the Outfield that’s just well there are some you know the two younger guys here pz and outman are still they’re still on the radar there I I think there’s going to be another pitcher ad myself because you just don’t know what you’re going to get out of the rotation whether it’s bringing back Walker berer or going outside the family tree to bring in somebody like Burns I’ve always thought Burns would be a good fit there heck the Dodgers might land both Snell and burns but we’re looking at What They’re bringing back too you’re going to get Dustin may back you’re going to get glass now back you’re going you know you’re going to get these guys back healthy again y that have been they had close to how many half a billion dollars of pitchers on the injured list and they’re going to be coming back so they have pitching and I think the one thing the Dodgers understood in this run at the end and this is is just me seeing how I how I saw it at the end of the year that if we get through the regular season which they already think they’re going to win they’re going to get into postseason we’ll figure it out we just need arms let’s just get us there that’s all they that’s all they did you’re right are two Dodgers stars on their way out here’s the new shacking Dodger Nation the off season is heating up and it looks like big changes could be on the horizon in Los Angeles after
