"At this stage of the winter, it seems that, if the Dodgers are going to address their outfield, it will likely be on the trade market. There are some quality outfielders reportedly available for trade, including Steven Kwan from the Cleveland Guardians, the Boston Red Sox' Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran, Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox, and a pair of St. Louis Cardinals in Brendan Donovan and Lars Nootbaar."
"The Minnesota Twins could also decide to ship out Byron Buxton, but at the moment, it seems they're looking to add at this point, rather than sell. The Dodgers have previously been connected to Kwan and made a push to acquire him at the 2025 trade deadline, and they've also been rumored to have interest in Robert Jr. and Donovan at previous points. Given their previous advanced negotiations, a trade for Kwan could be the most likely to happen, but a deal with the Cardinals also makes a lot of sense for either Donovan or Nootbaar."
The Dodgers enter 2026 with most of their lineup set but a clear left field vacancy after Michael Conforto's unsuccessful stint and free agency. Top free-agent option Kyle Tucker is unlikely due to cost, and the remaining free-agent market offers limited quality, making teams prone to overpay. The Dodgers are therefore expected to pursue outfield help through trades, with available targets including Steven Kwan, Wilyer Abreu, Jarren Duran, Luis Robert Jr., Brendan Donovan, and Lars Nootbaar. Minnesota's Byron Buxton looms as a possibility, while a Cody Bellinger reunion remains on the table if trades fall short.
