The Los Angeles Dodgers and their massive payroll remain the most polarizing team in the league. According to these Dodgers rumors, which three players will regress in 2017?

The Los Angeles Dodgers easily have one of the most talent-stacked rosters in all of baseball. There is not a single sore spot on the roster, as every position is filled with good talent. However, that isn’t to say that the each player will play as well as they have before.

Yesterday, we took a look at potential breakout candidates for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Now, we are going to flip the script and take a look at potential candidates that will see their progression dip in 2017. This does not mean that this player will be bad by any stretch, keep that in mind. If someone is amazing and regresses a tad, that doesn’t make them a bad player.

Whether it is due to age, injury, or not fitting in the current landscape, these players will struggle to produce at the level they once could. This may be an unsettling truth for Dodger fans, but as a Dodger fan myself, it is time we embrace it and look to the future.

With all of that being said, let’s dive right in and take a look at three players that could regress next season according to these Dodgers rumors.
