Los Angeles Dodgers face roster decisions ahead of free agency
The Los Angeles Dodgers are approaching several roster decisions as the offseason nears. The team faces a crowded outfield, which may lead to the non-tendering of veteran Alex Call. Call, who joined the team via trade last year, saw a reduced role following the signing of Kyle Tucker. The emergence of top-tier prospects such as Josue De Paula, Edgardo Quintero, and Mike Sirota provides the organization with younger, high-potential alternatives for the outfield.
In the bullpen, the Dodgers must decide on the future of left-handed reliever Alex Vesia. Vesia has become a postseason mainstay, maintaining a 1.59 ERA over 31 postseason appearances. While he is expected to seek a contract increase following his 2026 season, he has expressed a desire to remain with the organization.
Additionally, the team faces decisions regarding utility player Kiké Hernandez. Despite never being an All-Star, Hernandez has been a significant contributor to the Dodgers' recent championship success.
