Overview
- Outside of landing Edwin Díaz as their new closer, Los Angeles has had an unusually quiet offseason after retaining its World Series core.
- Analysts note the club fielded the oldest position-player group last season, with Alex Freeland and Hyeseong Kim viewed as in-house options to add youth after debuting in 2025.
- The 40-man roster is full, creating pressure to clear a spot before spring; one outlet floated trading reliever Brock Stewart as a potential path to flexibility.
- The rotation is crowded with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and Shohei Ohtani set, while Roki Sasaki, Emmet Sheehan, and Justin Wrobleski compete for the fifth role.
- Reporting indicates the Dodgers are monitoring markets for stars like Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, and Cody Bellinger and could engage if a high-AAV, short-term deal emerges.
