Dodgers face offseason decisions after NLCS loss to Brewers

The Los Angeles Dodgers' postseason ended with a 6-4 defeat to the Milwaukee Brewers in NLCS Game 4 on October 16, which completed a sweep. Despite a three-run home run from Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers could not maintain a 4-0 lead, exiting the playoffs without a World Series title. Ohtani's struggles this season, exacerbated by injuries, have prompted analysts to suggest a reevaluation of his role as a two-way player for the upcoming season. His performance declined after August, culminating in a postseason batting average of.192 and limited games played due to health setbacks. The franchise faces critical decisions regarding Ohtani's future, including the possibility of surgery to address lingering injuries.
