## Resource

Dodgers face a tough call on Shohei Ohtani—should they shut him down now to protect his health for the playoffs, or risk losing him for 15 days? Meanwhile, the Braves are eyeing a trade to fix their shortstop void, with Orlando Arcia possibly relegated to a bench role. Kyle Harrison’s shaky returns have the Brewers considering bullpen moves to get him right before October. MLB expansion could finally take shape post-2023, with new teams potentially joining by 2032. And the Angels? Expect a quiet offseason as ownership changes loom and a potential lockout hangs over the franchise.
