"So far this offseason the Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed Miguel Rojas and stunned the industry by adding Edwin Díaz on a team-friendly three-year contract. Rojas figures to play another key role off the bench for the Dodgers in his final season, while the signing of Díaz gives the team an unquestioned closer to help stabilize a bullpen that was inconsistent throughout their World Series run."
"Still, a need exists in the outfield, and that could multiply if the Dodgers move forward with a Teoscar Hernández trade. They have been among the teams connected to a potential deal for Brendan Donovan, but may be lagging behind in those sweepstakes. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Dodgers are among the teams interested in completing a Lars Nootbaar trade with the St. Louis Cardinals:"
"Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman recently shared his thought that the roster did not need to be significantly addressed before the start of the 2026 season, but acknowledged a position player was on the radar. One presumed move still expected is the re-signing of Kiké Hernández. Though, due to Hernández undergoing left elbow surgery that will cause him to miss Opening Day, there's a likelihood of that not taking place until the 60-day injured list can be utilized."
The Los Angeles Dodgers re-signed Miguel Rojas and added Edwin Díaz on a three-year, team-friendly contract to secure a reliable closer and stabilize the bullpen. Rojas is expected to provide bench depth in what could be his final season. The roster still has an outfield need that could grow if a Teoscar Hernández trade occurs. The Dodgers have been linked to Brendan Donovan and are among teams interested in Lars Nootbaar from the Cardinals. Andrew Friedman indicated major roster surgery is unnecessary before 2026, though a position player remains on the radar. Kiké Hernández likely will be re-signed but surgery delays his availability for Opening Day.
