Dodgers, Cubs, Red Sox Face Key Offseason Decisions

The Dodgers face significant challenges in the NLDS against the Padres, with key players like shortstop Miguel Rojas and first baseman suffering injuries, and a reliance on a depleted bullpen for their upcoming must-win game. Similarly, the Boston Red Sox are looking to overhaul their bullpen after a disappointing season, with a focus on building around younger talent. The Philadelphia Phillies, despite a recent victory, are also struggling with bullpen issues, having allowed numerous runs in crucial games. The Chicago Cubs are planning an aggressive approach in the offseason to address weaknesses, particularly at the catcher position, and improve their bullpen depth, which showed potential but was inconsistent early in the season. Each team is grappling with their unique challenges as they aim for better outcomes in future seasons.
