"It may look like a lot, but it really isn't. They've added four players from outside the organization - two of whom were not 40-man roster additions. Other than that, it was mostly procedural offseason moves, plus retaining one of the heroes of the 2025 World Series. I'm not complaining, as the Dodgers don't really have a ton to do this offseason, but we know they want to add a position player (probably in the outfield)"
"Adding a bat should be high on the list. If it's an outfielder, Bellinger or Tucker make sense - especially the latter if they were to get him on an Andrew Friedman-preferred deal (3-4 years, high annual average value, opt-outs), even if I'm not completely sold on him. If they really want to lean into the villainous nature baseball fans (and some media) have bestowed upon them, they'll sign Bichette, because it's looking less likely he'll return to the American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays."
The Dodgers have made only a few substantive additions this offseason, adding four players from outside the organization with two not requiring 40-man roster spots. Most activity has been procedural, plus re-signing a key 2025 World Series contributor. The roster priority appears to be a position player, likely an outfielder, with targets including Cody Bellinger, Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette and other left-handed bats. The rotation projects as strong and the bullpen should improve following Díaz's addition. Evan Phillips remains a possible return once the 60-day injured list is reinstated at Spring Training.
