Brandon Gomes: Dodgers Weighing Pros & Cons Of Trading From Pitching Depth
"General manager Brandon Gomes acknowledged the possibility and said the club is weighing the pros and cons of dealing from one of their strengths, via Sonja Chen of MLB.com: "We know that pitching depth is fleeting," general manager Brandon Gomes said at the Winter Meetings. "Now, that doesn't mean if there's a deal that we feel like, 'Hey, the risk-reward is worth it, we'll do it.' But everything comes with its pros and cons.""
"As it currently stands, the Dodgers are set to have a surplus of starting pitching when the 2026 season begins. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Emmet Sheehan and Roki Sasaki could be part of a six-man rotation barring any injuries or other moves. The team is also expected to get back River Ryan and Gavin Stone from injury, meaning there will be a few pitchers on the outside looking in when it comes time for Opening Day."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million contract and remain active for additional offseason moves before Spring Training. The club is targeting a position player who contributes on both offense and defense, with Brendan Donovan, Steven Kwan and Lars Nootbaar linked to the team. The Dodgers hold deep starting-pitching resources and could trade from that depth, but front office leadership is weighing risks and rewards. A projected 2026 rotation could include Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Emmet Sheehan and Roki Sasaki, with River Ryan and Gavin Stone returning from injury.
