"After the Los Angeles Dodgers won the 2020 World Series they went out and signed Trevor Bauer to what was a record-setting contract at the time in effort to solidify their pursuit of becoming back-to-back champions. The Bauer signing was ultimately done in by sexual assault allegations that cut his Dodgers career to just 17 starts, and the team later was eliminated by the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series."
"Following their 2024 World Series win, the Dodgers flex their financial might to add Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates, while also re-signing the likes of Teoscar Hernández and Blake Treinen. On-field results from that group varied, but the Dodgers became MLB's first repeat champion in 25 years and seemingly solidified themselves as a dynasty."
""By being aggressive over the last couple offseasons, we do have a very, very good core in place," Gomes said. "So it's continuing to fine-tune and look at what the weaknesses on the roster are and try to address those ... It's being very targeted in who we go out and look to acquire. I think that holds true across the board, without many glaring holes.""
The Dodgers' 2020 signing of Trevor Bauer ended after 17 starts due to sexual-assault allegations and coincided with an NLCS elimination. After the 2024 World Series, the Dodgers added Blake Snell, Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates and re-signed Teoscar Hernández and Blake Treinen, producing mixed on-field results but securing MLB's first repeat title in 25 years. The front office plans a deliberate, targeted approach for 2026 focused on fine-tuning rather than sweeping changes. Primary roster needs are left field and a right-handed late-inning reliever, while bench decisions involve free agents Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas; Ryan Ward is an internal option to platoon with Alex Call.
