Are the Dodgers done adding players?
· Yahoo Sports
We are nearly at the point where we get to watch the Dodgers play actual games, with the exhibition slate starting this Saturday. Timelines over the last week-plus have been inundated with the sights and sounds from spring training, from backfield workouts to clubhouse speeches.

The Dodgers already brought back two of the players most of us expected to return, with Evan Phillips and Kiké Hernández signing last week, though both will miss the beginning of the season while rehabbing.
Also rehabbing is Tommy Edman after right ankle surgery, and his injured list stint to begin the season opens up an actual position battle in camp, for second base.
Blake Snell being a bit behind schedule in throwing at least puts his opening day readiness into question, which could open up another opportunity for another pitcher to earn some early starts in the rotation.
With 41 players on the 40-man roster (Phillips is on the 60-day injured list) and another 34 non-roster invitees after infielder Santiago Espinal signed this week, that means a whopping 75 players in big league camp at the moment at Camelback Ranch.
It feels like the Dodgers will make an active roster out of those 75 players currently in camp, but with just over five weeks remaining until opening day, there’s plenty of time remaining for more moves to be made. You never know who might hit the waiver wire in the next few weeks, maybe even a certain backup catcher.
Today’s question is what’s one roster move you think the Dodgers should make before opening day?
