The Los Angeles Dodgers received a major free agency projection as they are predicted to sign Japanese phenom Munetaka Murakami this offseason.

The Dodgers already have a notable core of Japanese players, all of whom have come over stateside and succeeded. Murakami is a hard-hitting infielder that could be the future of third base for Los Angeles.

In other news, manager Dave Roberts sent a message to other MLB owners and called for them to investment more into their ballclubs, like the Dodgers do.

The Dodgers' payroll has been a major point of conversation within the league as pressure mounts for a potential salary cap.

Finally, Brewers manager Pat Murphy said he believes Mookie Betts deserves consideration for the MVP award after his unprecedented season.
