Dodgers Nation Week In Review: October 6 — October 12
The Los Angeles Dodgers saw their season come to an end Tuesday after losing Game 4 of the NLDS to the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite winning the NL West for the second consecutive year, the Dodgers again fell short of their goal of winning the World Series.
With the off-season underway for the Dodgers, the team’s future remains a bit of a mystery. There could be a shake up with the returns of general manager Ned Colletti not yet confirmed. The same can be said for manager Don Mattingly, though he said he believes he’ll return, which is a sentiment that’s been backed by recent reports.
As for players, shortstop Hanley Ramirez and catcher A.J. Ellis enter the off-season with questions surrounding their contracts. The two were key parts in the Dodger lineup and any potential losses could be damaging.
