Fast Forwarding Through the Lockout: NL West Edition

Dec 23, 2021

DVR is joined by Keith Law to fast forward through the lockout and attempt to finish the offseason adjustments for each team in the NL West.

Despite a few significant losses in free agency, the Dodgers still project as the best team in baseball? If they make an addition or two, where are they most likely to seek upgrades?

As the Giants bring the band back together for 2022, will they find an impact bat or two to bolster their lineup?

The Padres have young talent on the way, but could their biggest offseason additions actually come from changes to the coaching staff?

It's going to be a long road back to the postseason in Colorado, but how should the Rockies proceed once player movement resume?

And could the D-backs have a surprising bounce back from a disappointing 2021 on the strength of a significant wave of young talent?
