Overview

  • Baseball insider Francys Romero reported on X that the Dodgers are among teams interested in Raisel Iglesias, a note echoed by MLB Trade Rumors and ClutchPoints during GM Meetings chatter.
  • No agreement or formal offer has been reported, and the interest remains in the early stages of free agency.
  • Iglesias rebounded from a homer-prone start in 2025 to post a 1.25 ERA over his final 43 1/3 innings, finishing the season with a 3.21 ERA, a 27.4% strikeout rate, and a 6.0% walk rate.
  • The right-hander turns 36 in January and brings closing experience with the Angels and Braves, factors that could point to a shorter-term deal.
  • Los Angeles is surveying multiple late-inning options, with reports also tying the club to Devin Williams after injuries exposed bullpen depth during the title run.
