Bob Levey/Getty ImagesTeams don't reach the World Series by accident.The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers worked hard to build deep and talented rosters http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-wil-myers-jersey , and while both clubs enjoyed tremendous success in 2018, they can't simply rest on their laurels.Both teams have multiple areas to address this offseason, including some high-profile free agents from their own rosters.Ahead is an overview of what to expect from both World Series participants this offseason, including any relevant rumors that have surfaced.Los Angeles DodgersClayton KershawSean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesThe Dodgers will find out by midnight ET Wednesday whether ace Clayton Kershaw is opting out of the final two years and $65 million of his current contract.That decision will obviously have a sweeping impact on their offseason approach.If he opts in, starting pitching doesn't look like an area of need.Walker Buehler and Rich Hill are locked into rotation spots behind him, while Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, Kenta Maeda and Julio Urias are all options to move into full-time starting gigs.However, if he does opt out and tests the market, they could turn their attention to someone like Patrick Corbin or Dallas Keuchel to fill a spot on the staff. Re-signing Hyun-Jin Ryu would also be up for consideration.Filling out the middle relief corps will also be a priority after the team had trouble at times bridging the gap to closer Kenley Jansen.Ryan Madson is a free agent after filling a crucial role in the postseason, and the team could make a run at a number of different setup options.Adding a lefty setup option like Zach Britton or Andrew Miller would add some balance to the relief corps, while Adam Ottavino could be an appealing second-tier option who found plenty of success in the NL West this past season while pitching with the Colorado Rockies.Manny MachadoSean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesOn the position-player side of things, a long-term relationship with rental slugger Manny Machado is unlikely with Corey Seager expected to be back next season. Chris Taylor is capable of handling the position early on if Seager isn't ready for Opening Day.However Rickey Henderson Jersey , second base could be addressed with deadline addition Brian Dozier headed for free agency and Chase Utley set to retire. Kike Hernandez is an option there, but he's more valuable in a super-utility role. Max Muncy also saw time at second base, but he could move into more of a regular role at first base if Cody Bellinger moves to center field full time.It's all speculation at this point. More concrete rumors will start to swirl once free agency officially begins and the Dodgers start kicking the tires on guys, but for now, this gives you an idea of what areas they might address.Boston Red SoxCraig KimbrelSean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesThe Red Sox have some big decisions to make this offseason, starting with their own free agents.Closer Craig Kimbrel and postseason heroes Nathan Eovaldi and Steve Pearce are all set to hit the open market.Kimbrel, 30, has served as Boston's closer for the past three seasons, converting 108 of 119 save chances with a 2.44 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 14.9 strikeouts per nine innings in 187 appearances.If the Red Sox decide to let him walk, Matt Barnes could be an in-house option to take over the job.The 28-year-old racked up 25 holds pitching in a setup role this season, posting a 3.65 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a career-high 14.0 K/9 in 62 appearances.Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston wrote: "Barnes took a remarkable step forward in 2018 http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-ozzie-smith-jersey , with his average fastball nearly a full 2 mph more than it was a year ago, from roughly 95 to 97."Otherwise, guys like Zach Britton, Kelvin Herrera, Cody Allen, Adam Ottavino and David Robertson are among the alternatives on the free-agent market.Eovaldi looks like a more likely candidate to be re-signed, as Nick Cafardo of theBoston Globewrote:"Most executives think a comparable isAlex Cobb, who also came back from Tommy John and landed a four-year, $57 million deal with Baltimore last offseason. Eovaldi's pedigree exceeds Cobb's at this point, so his contract should be more lucrative. The Red Sox should be interested in re-signing him, particularly withChris Sale'scurrent physical condition."Harry How/Getty ImagesPearce, 35, hit .304/.400/.559 in 120 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season and was the perfect platoon partner for Mitch Moreland at first base.The team could also look to add some insurance at second base and another bullpen arm or two Cory Spangenberg Jersey , while a starter will also be a priority if Eovaldi is not retained.That might sound like a laundry list of needs, but the Red Sox have an excellent core in place and should be in a great position to defend their title.All stats courtesy of Baseball Reference and FanGraphs, unless otherwise noted. Major League Baseball has informed the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs that pitchers are in fact allowed to have a reference card on the mound with them, according to MLB.com'sCarrie Muskat and Joe Bloss.There was confusion during Saturday night's game at Citizens Bank Park as to whether it was permissible, when umpire Joe West made Phillies reliever Austin Davis surrender his cheat sheet:West citedRule 6.02(c)(7), which states the pitcher shall not "have on his person, or in his possession, any foreign substance," as his reasoning. However, he acknowledged afterward, via the Associated Press (h/tESPN.com), he wasn't quite sure if it was illegal鈥攂ut he wanted to be safe rather than sorry:"I saw him take it out, and I went http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-eric-hosmer-jersey , 'What the heck is that?'"I didn't want to throw him out," West said. "I know it's foreign, but he's not trying to cheat. Maybe he's trying to get an advantage because he's reading the scouting report, but it wasn't pine tar, it wasn't an emery board, it wasn't whatever."In the long run, maybe they'll let him [have the card]. Right now, my hands are tied until they say yes or no. Right now, until the office says it's OK to carry this, he can't do it."Davis, meanwhile, noted that the card helps him prepare for the hitters he is facing, via Muskat and Bloss:"This is something I create. We have our meeting where we go over the hitters. I take that information and put it on a card so I don't have to try and memorize it http://www.padresfanproshop.com/authentic-jose-pirela-jersey , and use my mental energy to get ready for the game. Then I just take a glance and go."Our analytics department works really, really hard to come up with this stuff for us, and I want to use it because they work all day to come up with stuff to help get guys out. And if I have an answer to get a guy out, I want to know what that is."With how much analytics have become a part of today's game, players have a lot to digest when it comes to preparing for opposing hitters. A cheat sheet like the one Davis was carrying can serve as a nice reminder as to how to approach a batter.Position players have used similar cards in order to make sure they are in the right spot for a particular hitter.Phillies manager Gabe Kapler, via the AP, called the cheat sheets "a really good thing for baseball." For what it's worth, Cubs manager Joe Maddon did not take issue with the card. Via MLB.com, he said "it's no big deal" and that he "believe[s] in information."Davis worked two innings against the Cubs on Saturday in a 7-1 loss, allowing two unearned runs on three hits while striking out two.
