With one week until opening day, Alanna Rizzo and Clint Pasillas dive into the 3 biggest questions that remain for the Los Angeles Dodgers... (1:20)Should the Dodgers give Hyeseong Kim the lion's share of playing time at second base to see what they've got in him entering his second MLB season? Clint makes the argument that they should. (8:03) Is the starting rotation set? Following the move to option River Ryan to the minor leagues, it seems like the Dodgers could be primed to run with a 5 man rotation for the first few weeks. What will that look like? The hosts discuss. And we're talking Roki Sasaki. Again (11:33). Will adding pitches in the offseason prove to be a problem for Sasaki? And does dissention between the pitcher and the organization remain or are we just reading too much between the lines. Renowned baseball artist S. Preston joins to talk about his work and his love for the game.
