After the Los Angeles Dodgers formally introduced Kyle Tucker during a press conference at Dodger Stadium, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman acknowledged he believed their roster was largely set. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s still some things we\u2019re kicking around, some conversations that have been ongoing for a little bit that we\u2019re going to continue to look to enhance and build up depth,” Friedman added. “So yeah, there\u2019s some things, but I think in terms of more seismic changes, I think we\u2019re pretty well set.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since his comments, the Dodgers reportedly signed Ryder Ryan to a Minor League contract<\/a> . He is the older brother of River Ryan, a former heralded pitching prospect who made his MLB debut in 2024 and now is looking to return from Tommy Johnn surgery. <\/p>\n It’s presumed Friedman’s reference to ongoing talks was not in relation to the elder Ryan, but more likely Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez and perhaps other possibilities. But true to form under Friedman, the Dodgers regularly look to amass organizational depth, especially on the pitching side.<\/p>\n Dodgers sign Cole Irvin<\/p>\n Under that mindset, the Dodgers have made another addition by signing Cole Irvin to a Minor League deal as well, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post<\/a>. Irvin’s agreement with the Dodgers includes a non-roster invite to big league camp in Spring Training.<\/p>\n Cole Irvin agrees to Dodgers deal.
