3 Players Who Won't Be on the Dodgers Roster After 2020 Season

The Dodgers were gearing up to go all-in once again in 2020, but the delayed season has certainly hampered their plans in a colossal way. Los Angeles has made the playoffs ever season since 2013 but the team hasn't won a World Series since 1988. We're not sure if that'll even be possible this year, but regardless of what happens, here are three players who likely will not be on the 2021 roster.

After a dominant 2018 during which he only gave up seven runs and saved 38 games, Treinen struggled in 2019. The former A’s pitcher posted a 4.91 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP in a down year, and the Dodgers capitalized, signing the pitcher to a one-year $10 million deal. Los Angeles hopes he will bounce back in 2020, and if he does, he could price himself out of LA. If he doesn't, the Dodgers have little reason to bring him back.

2. Justin Turner

The longtime Dodger has been one of the most consistent third baseman in all of baseball since being traded to Los Angeles in 2014. From that point on, he's slashed an impressive .302/.381/.887. The 35-year-old will get paid $20 million in the final season of his four-year deal with the Dodgers, and considering the team's stacked farm system, there's little reason to believe Turner will be retained for his age-36 season.

The Dodgers acquired Betts in a blockbuster trade with the Red Sox earlier this offseason. The 2018 AL MVP was an integral part of the Red Sox core and was the driving force for their World Series title that year. However, this was clearly a win-now move orchestrated by the Dodgers considering Betts will be looking for a hefty long-term deal after this season. They were willing to take him on for $27 million in 2020, but the 27-year-old has been adamant about testing free agency, so it doesn't look like this will be a match for 2021 and beyond.
