The Los Angeles Dodgers don’t stop looking for new talent.

Their latest signing spent the 2025 season pitching in Korea after a bunch of years in MLB, and this is his chance at a comeback.

The move was reported Sunday by Aram Leighton: It’s Cole Irvin joining the Dodgers on a minor league contract that presumably will include an invite to major league spring training.

Irvin just turned 32 years old on Jan. 31.

He pitched for the KBO’s Doosan Bears in 2025 and had a 4.48 ERA there.

In his MLB career, he has a 4.54 ERA.

Irvin is a 6-foot-4 southpaw who was originally a fifth-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2016 MLB Draft out of the University of Oregon.

He made his MLB debut in 2019 for the Phillies, and he pitched in 19 games across two seasons for Philadelphia (6.75 ERA).

Irvin spent 2021 and 2022 with the Oakland Athletics, making a combined 62 starts with a 4.11 ERA in his two best MLB seasons.

His 2023 went to Baltimore, where he had a 4.42 ERA in 24 outings for the Orioles.

He split 2024 between the Orioles (4.86 ERA in 25 appearances) and Twins (12.27 ERA in four outings).

Then he went to Korea for 2025.

Irvin only has a career 6.6 strikeouts per nine ratio, meaning he has to induce weak contact consistently to be successful.

At best, he’s likely a spot starter for L.A. in the case of injury, but it’s always good to have more pitching depth, and Irvin will provide that for the Dodgers.
