"Jones, who spent one of his 17 seasons with the Dodgers, was selected to join the National Baseball Hall of Fame in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday. Players are elected to the Hall provided they are named on at least 75% of ballots cast by eligible voting members of the BBWAA. With 425 ballots, including 11 blanks, cast in the 2026 election, candidates needed to receive 319 votes to be elected."
"Manny Ramírez received 165 votes (38.8%) in his 10th and final year on the BBWAA ballot, meaning his final shot at making the Hall of Fame is the Contemporary Baseball Era player ballot. The Era Committee ballot covers players who made their greatest impact on the game between 1980 and the present day and who are no longer eligible for Hall of Fame election by the BBWAA."
Eight former Los Angeles Dodgers appeared on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot; only Andruw Jones reached the 75% election threshold. The BBWAA cast 425 ballots, including 11 blanks, requiring 319 votes for election; Jones, in his ninth year on the ballot, received 333 votes (78.4%). Carlos Beltrán also was elected with 358 votes (84.2%), and both will be honored during Induction Weekend July 24–27, 2026, alongside Jeff Kent, who was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee. Chase Utley received 251 votes (59.1%). Manny Ramírez received 165 votes (38.8%) in his final BBWAA year and now moves to the Era Committee ballot. Other results included Bobby Abreu (30.8%), Jimmy Rollins (25.4%), Cole Hamels (23.8%), Howie Kendrick (0.0%), and Matt Kemp (0.5%). Kent received 14 votes from the 16-person Era Committee.
