Which Former Dodgers Player Would You Add to the 2026 Roster? Fans Weigh In

"The 2026 Los Angeles Dodgers are shaping up to be a powerhouse once again, having added some key pieces to their roster during the offseason. While the additions they've made have supplemented the team well, Dodgers Nation decided to ask fans which former Dodger they'd most like to add to the roster for the upcoming season during their prime. Our staff proposed several options, and the fans even proposed some of their own."

"Ramirez had a brief stay with the Dodgers from 2008-10, but made a massive impact on LA during his stay. He posted a 6.3 bWAR through 223 games, hitting 44 home runs and driving in 156 RBIs. He slashed .322/.433/.580 with the Dodgers, and had some of his best days in blue despite not making an All-Star Game with Los Angeles."

"Matt Kemp The subject of the most-liked response from our survey, Matt Kemp is another outfielder who played his best ball with the Dodgers. The best year Kemp had with the Dodgers during his 10 years with L.A. came in 2011, where he led the National League in bWAR, runs and home runs while leading MLB in RBIs. He ultimately finished second in MVP voting behind Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who later openly admitted to using performance enhancing drugs."

"Continuing the trend of outfielders is Shawn Green, who spent five years with the Dodgers from 2000-04. Green made one of his two All-Star appearances in Los Angeles, and placed Top 10 in NL MVP voting twice during his five-year tenure. He hit 162 home runs for the Dodgers, posting a .876 OPS in L.A. - his best with a single team."

The 2026 Los Angeles Dodgers added key offseason pieces and project as a powerhouse. The roster still shows an outfield deficiency that could be addressed by veteran talent. Manny Ramirez delivered elite production with the Dodgers from 2008–10, posting 6.3 bWAR, 44 homers, 156 RBIs, and a .322/.433/.580 slash line. Matt Kemp produced his peak with Los Angeles in 2011, leading the NL in bWAR, runs and homers and MLB in RBIs. Shawn Green produced a .876 OPS with 162 homers during 2000–04 in Los Angeles. Bullpen struggles create interest in a dominant reliever such as Eric Gagne.
