Really good read from @TylerKepner on covering a dynasty, and what happens when one ends:
What’s next for the Dodgers? Here’s your offseason primer: A look at the roster and what changes could come.
With @FabianArdaya:
The Dodgers will likely need to re-evaluate how they manage Shohei Ohtani's two-way workload, says @FabianArdaya.
"Do you treat it like 2025 again?"
The Dodgers have spent hundreds of millions to assemble a championship roster.
But their NLCS sweep by the Brewers exposed an uncomfortable reality:
Even baseball's richest teams can't sustain success forever.

On Tarik Skubal, baseball’s most prominent free agent after this season who reflected on his time in Los Angeles (and less so on his future):
For a team that consistently stressed prioritizing Shohei Ohtani’s health for October, it’s fair to question how it came to this low point.
For now, the most pressing question for Ohtani is: what comes next?

Is the dynasty over?
The Dodgers’ bid for a three-peat ended with a sweep by the Brewers in the NLCS.
Now, Shohei Ohtani’s struggles, an aging lineup and Tarik Skubal’s future are among the questions facing Los Angeles this offseason.

Plenty to come going forward, but thanks as always to those who read and followed along this season. Always grateful.
"I just said thank you," Miguel Rojas said he told his Dodgers teammates, "because they changed my life."
On Rojas' retirement:
On the offseason questions ahead for the Dodgers:
Miguel Rojas is retiring.
Shohei Ohtani said it is “hard to tell” if he’ll need either knee or bicep surgery this offseason. He also said he plans to pitch again next season. #Dodgers#
Shohei Ohtani, through interpreter Will Ireton, said “it’s hard to tell” if his injuries will require any offseason procedures. It’s something they’ll have to figure out later.
Breaking News from @TheAthletic: The two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers, who reached their first World Series since 1982.
There will be no three-peat in Los Angeles, as the Dodgers lost, 6-4, to end their season with a sweep in the NLCS.
An interesting offseason for the sport awaits.
Between the 6th-8th innings, the Dodgers had 7 plate appearances with the tying run in scoring position. They went 0-for-6 with a sac bunt and saw a total of just 19 pitches over the 7 PA.
5 of those 7 PA ended in three pitches or less.

Yeah, those missed chances will hurt.
It’s now 6-4 Brewers after David Hamilton homered.
