Report: Dodgers' first offseason move is signing Eliezer Alfonzo
"Alfonzo spent the entire 2025 season playing in the Detroit Tigers farm system. He began the year with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens but was sent down to Double-A Erie in the middle of April and remained with that affiliate for the rest of the season. In 57 games at the Double-A level this year, Alfonzo batted .251/.308/.333 with 13 doubles, one home run and 31 RBI."
"How Eliezer Alfonzo fits within Dodgers Alfonzo figures to report to Double-A Tulsa or perhaps Triple-A Oklahoma City at the start of the 2026 Minor League season. The Dodgers lost some of their catching depth at the trade deadline this year when Hunter Feduccia was sent to the Tampa Bay Rays as part of a three-team trade that included the Cincinnati Reds."
Los Angeles Dodgers aim to maintain organizational depth during the offseason while reinforcing a Major League roster after consecutive World Series titles. The Dodgers signed catcher Eliezer Alfonzo Jr. to a minor-league contract. Alfonzo spent 2025 in the Detroit Tigers farm system, beginning at Triple-A Toledo before moving to Double-A Erie, where he hit .251/.308/.333 with 13 doubles, one home run and 31 RBI in 57 games. Alfonzo is playing for Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League and originally signed with Detroit as an international free agent in July 2016. He has not made an MLB debut and may report to Double-A Tulsa or Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2026. The Dodgers' catching depth shifted at the trade deadline, and Ben Rortvedt provided contributions amid injuries to Will Smith and Dalton Rushing.
