Keeping Kike
Here is a strong case I will make for keeping Kike Hernandez. Kike was due 5.9 Million in 2020 but of course the pandemic slashed his salary due to the lower amount of games played.

Hall of Fame for Ex-Dodgers?
If there was a baseball sportswriter for the Dodgers named Homer, I bet he would be a homer. A homer is someone that is blatantly biased for his home team.
