"Armed with around $87 million in freed-up salary, the Dodgers are on the hunt for outfield and bullpen help. They have several irons in the fire on both fronts, with reported interest in Steven Kwan, Kyle Tucker, Devin Williams and Pete Fairbanks, among others. It has previously been reported that adding at least one high-leverage right-handed reliever is high on the Dodgers' list of priorities."
"While neither signing worked out in 2024, there is still plenty of time for Scott to improve, and a new role as a seventh- or eighth-inning pitcher could be beneficial. While the bullpen was a major issue due to injuries and players underperforming, there is a decent chance both are corrected in 2026. A full season of Brusdar Graterol and Brock Stewart, improved performance from Scott, and the addition of a free agent could lead to a quick turnaround."
The Los Angeles Dodgers hold roughly $87 million in freed salary and prioritize upgrades to the outfield and bullpen ahead of 2026. Team interest includes Steven Kwan, Kyle Tucker, Devin Williams and Pete Fairbanks among potential additions. Adding a high-leverage right-handed reliever ranks high on the priority list, and the team is expected to sign at least one expensive closer. Previous bullpen signings of Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates underperformed in 2024, but a role change for Scott and healthy seasons from Brusdar Graterol and Brock Stewart could stabilize the relief corps. Pete Fairbanks achieved 27 saves with a 2.83 ERA in 2025.
