Overview
- Tuesday, Sept. 29, Alek Thomas formally elected free agency after clearing waivers and finishing the season in Triple-A Oklahoma City.
- Los Angeles designated Thomas for assignment on Sept. 5, outrighted him to Triple-A when he cleared waivers, and that roster move made him eligible to elect free agency.
- Thomas spent most of 2026 with the Comets, hitting .305 with a .915 OPS in Triple-A and delivering a three‑RBI, extra‑inning double to win the Triple‑A National Championship.
- He received only seven big‑league games with the Dodgers in August, batting .211 with three RBIs while filling in during Andy Pages’ injury absence.
- At 26, Thomas is expected to draw interest in free agency and any club that signs him would reportedly control his rights through 2028, giving him a chance to find a clearer MLB role next season.
