The Los Angeles Dodgers have already made a few significant moves this offseason.
First and foremost was the signing of two-time AL MVP Shohei Ohtani.
He immediately vaults the Dodgers into being one of the World Series favorites.
Then the Dodgers addressed their starting pitching by acquiring Tyler Glasnow.
But, even after those two major moves, the Dodgers have more work to do.
According to Fabian Ardaya, Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes said the team is still looking to address starting pitching.
Brandon Gomes said the Dodgers are still looking to address starting pitching this winter after moving Ryan Pepiot in the Tyler Glasnow deal.

The Dodgers are looking for another starter because they traded away Ryan Pepiot in the Glasnow deal.
Last season, Pepiot did well when called upon in his rookie season.
Also, the elbow surgery that Ohtani received in September will render him unable to pitch in 2024.
The Dodgers are going all-in for the World Series this year.
Expect them to be aggressive in adding another impact pitcher.
One player the Dodgers have shown interest in is Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
He is a 25-year-old right-hander who is coming over from Japan to MLB.
Many people expect Yamamoto to be one of the best Japanese pitching prospects in recent memory.
The Dodgers seem more than willing to offer him a deal in the $300 million range.
Also, reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell has yet to find a new home.
Snell going to the Dodgers almost seems unfair, but they could make it happen.
Currently, the Dodgers should be the favorite to win the National League.
They will only increase their chances with every significant signing.
