The state of the LA Dodgers heading into Spring Training 2018

With pitchers and catchers reporting to camp in less than 3 weeks, we look ahead to Spring Training and analyze the 2018 Dodgers heading into Opening Day.

Spring Training is almost here. The weather in LA is proof of that, as is the recent Fan Fest at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. Spring is approaching fast, and yet in many ways, the heartbreak of Game 7 is still fresh in our minds.

Thankfully, Spring Training has a unique way of replacing heartbreak with hope, and hope is something the Dodgers have plenty of. Just look at the number of walk-off wins LA had in 2017.

As the look of the 2018 squad continues to take shape, fans are getting a better idea of how their beloved NL Champs will fare in the coming season.

Will Clayton Kershaw land on the DL again?

Will Cody Bellinger eclipse his historic rookie season with more than 40 home runs?

Will Yu Darvish be wearing Dodger blue on Opening Day?

And, most importantly, will the Dodgers win the World Series?

We can’t answer any of those questions, not yet. What we can do is look towards Spring Training.

Here are the most important things to look for heading into Opening Day.
