Nothing is worse than a clip show, but it's a Saturday morning and I wanted to sleep in, so here we are. Here is a quick recap of the Dodgers offseason so far. The Winter Meetings don't even start until Monday, but the Dodgers have been the busiest team in the early going this winter. The Dodgers closed their regular season with 40 players on their 40-man roster, and have made the following moves to date:
Departures (9): Brad Ausmus (retired), Reed Johnson, Russell Martin (non-tender), Trent Oeltjen (non-tender), Vicente Padilla, Scott Podsednik, George Sherrill (non-tender), Ryan Theriot (via trade), Jeff Weaver
Non Free Agent Additions (4): Hector Gimenez, Blake Hawksworth (via trade), Jamie Hoffmann, Luis Vazquez
Free Agent Additions (6; 2 new): Four of the six free agents signed by the Dodgers this winter were here last year, while Jon Garland and Juan Uribe have joined the blue crew. The Dodgers have signed six free agents for a total guaranteed salary of $74.9 million:
