"The Los Angeles Dodgers could look to add St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbar to their roster this offseason, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The Dodgers need an outfielder by Opening Day, and the Cardinals have already shown their willingness to unload some players this offseason, having sent All-Star starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox."
""That list could also include Lars Nootbaar, who has a career OPS+ of 109, has played all three outfield spots and hits left-handed," Ardaya and Woo wrote. "The 28-year-old will be coming off of double heel surgery that he underwent at the end of last season. His Opening Day timeline is in jeopardy, but even if Nootbaar is not ready at the start of the season, he should not miss more than a few weeks.""
"The five-year MLB veteran has played across the outfield in his career, and would serve as a valuable piece for the Dodgers next season if he were to come to LA. He had a down year in 2025 after posting four consecutive seasons with an OPS north of .700, and still managed double-digit homers and a career-high 48 RBIs."
The Los Angeles Dodgers are pursuing outfield help and have interest in St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar as an offseason target. The Cardinals have demonstrated willingness to move players, recently trading Sonny Gray to the Red Sox. Nootbaar has a career OPS+ of 109, has played all three outfield positions, and bats left-handed. He underwent double heel surgery at the end of last season, placing his Opening Day availability in question but likely only sidelining him for a few weeks. The five-year MLB veteran posted a down year in 2025 but still hit double-digit homers and a career-high 48 RBIs.
