then delivered a dramatic home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 that pulled the Dodgers even. In the bottom of the ninth, Rojas fielded a chopper at second base and quickly got enough footing and grip of the baseball to throw home for a force out with the bases loaded. That kept the game tied and helped lead to Will Smith's decisive home run in the 11th inning.

Kuroda's tenure with the Dodgers included a strong 2011 campaign in which he delivered a career-best 3.07 ERA in 202 innings. Earlier in his time with Los Angeles, Kuroda was a bright spot for the rotation in their 2008 playoff run, as he made two successful starts in both the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Kuroda logged 6.1 shutout innings in Game 3,

With the number of pitchers they already have, they don't need me,

Kim was a revelation during the regular season for the Dodgers, injecting a much needed spark when the team needed it through quality contact hitting and stellar base running. He started the year on the minor league roster, so he could adjust his mechanics and swing to the States. His work paid dividends early on, but a shoulder injury and slump following his hot start relegated him to a platoon role when he returned.

Now that the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings have wrapped up, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still looking for a top outfielder to add to their already-potent lineup. The Dodgers have already made one big move this offseason, leaving the Winter Meetings with one of the crown jewels of free agency in former Mets closer Edwin Diaz, who the team signed to a record-setting three-year, $69 million contract.

The first thing I said to him was, 'You're going to sign with the Dodgers, right?'...I sat there for the entire two-hour event and talked up the Dodgers to him the whole time. I don't know if I had a hand in it or not, but I like to say that I was one of the first ones to go heavy and hard after him that he should be a Dodger.

Step into the Dodgers' team store, turn to the right, and you'll be staring at Shohei Ohtani. Not in person, of course. But amid all the jerseys and caps and T-shirts, there is a commercial playing on a loop, with Ohtani waving his fingers through his hair and winking as he displays the product he is endorsing: the top-selling skin serum in Japan.

The Dodgers announced that they have claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Braves.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a huge pitching acquisition during the Winter Meetings, signing free agent closer Edwin Diaz to a three-year, $69 million deal, but they may not be done reinforcing their pitching staff just yet. The Dodgers have been heavily linked to Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, and could look to acquire the starter via trade before the end of the offseason to add to their rotation.

"Sasaki has had a history of injuries this season, and the team reserves the right to suspend his participation in the WBC," a source in the story said. During an interview with Japanese TV earlier in the offseason, manager Dave Roberts expressed doubt over Sasaki playing in the tournament. "I'd be surprised if Sasaki were to pitch in the WBC," Roberts said.

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a quiet offseason before the MLB Winter Meetings began this week in Orlando (before Tuesday). Prior to Tuesday, their only major free-agent acquisition was signing infielder Miguel Rojas to a one-year, $5.5 million contract - a move that surprised no one. However, things changed in that department when LA signed arguably the biggest and best name in free agency, All-Star closer Edwin Diaz.
