"Starting with the most recent occurrence of the whole list, the Dodgers signed All-Star closer Edwin Diaz to a three-year, $69 million contract Dec. 9. While he hasn't yet played a game in Dodger Blue, Diaz is among the best closers in the league and will be a huge boost to the Dodgers' bullpen. The right-hander posted a 1.63 ERA through 62 appearances in 2025, striking out 98 batters through 66.1 innings pitched."
"Kiké Hernandez has established himself as a fan favorite in Los Angeles, and we'd be doing a disservice to a legend if we didn't include him somewhere on our list. Hernandez re-signed with the Dodgers Feb. 9, and played a huge part in the Dodgers' season. He got off to a hot start in the 2025 postseason, coming through in big moments through the first two series, and helped turn a crucial double play in Game 6 of the World Series to force a Game 7."
"The Dodgers and Padres series haven't disappointed in recent seasons, and 2025 wasn't an exception. The rivals played each other seven times in 11 days in the middle of the season, and things came to a boiling point in the final game of a four-game set June 19. Dodgers reliever Jack Little plunked Fernando Tatis Jr. on the hand in the top of the ninth while the Dodgers trailed by five runs, marking the third time he had been hit by a Dodgers pitcher in nine days."
