Los Angeles Dodgers general manager and executive president of baseball operations Brandon Gomes<\/a> said L.A. is not done making moves.<\/p>\n

Gomes was asked whether the signing of Kyle Tucker<\/a> signals the end of L.A.\u2019s dominant winter, and simply put, the Dodgers aren\u2019t done adding to their loaded roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re close to done. We can never be done, won\u2019t say anything official but we feel very good about this team with Spring Training a few weeks away,\u201d Gomes said.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers have had themselves one heck of an offseason, adding arguably the best closer in all of baseball in Edwin Diaz and the 29-year-old All-Star outfielder Tucker. Los Angeles entered this offseason with two major weaknesses: the bullpen and the outfield, and some would say they fixed them in one offseason by adding arguably the two best free agents in their position.<\/p>\n

While the Dodgers added two phenomenal players, one could argue that they could use some depth in the outfield. Sure, the signing of Tucker does wonders for both the offense and certainly the defense, but their outfield depth outside of Tucker and Teoscar Hernandez is suspect.<\/p>\n

Andy Pages<\/a>\u2018 defense is more than solid, but his offense is hit-or-miss. Tommy Edman<\/a> is expected to be limited in spring training after undergoing offseason surgery on his ankle. Edman could be out to start the 2026 season, and Alex Call<\/a> is more of a platoon player, specializing against left-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n

If the Dodgers could add another solid depth player to their outfield, L.A. could be unbeatable (even more so).<\/p>\n

Can the Dodgers\u2019 Already-Loaded Rotation Get Even Better?<\/p>\n

While the starting rotation is settled, it never hurts to add. The Dodgers have a history of injuries to their starting rotation. The more they could collect, the better position they\u2019d be in to dominate both the regular season and postseason. The Dodgers only care about 11 wins (or 13 like last season) once the calendar flips to October.<\/p>\n

However, the Dodgers would love to secure a first- or second-seed in the postseason to rest on those days, unlike in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Dodgers boast the strongest starting rotation in baseball, headlined by World Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto<\/a> alongside Blake Snell<\/a>, Tyler Glasnow<\/a>, and Shohei Ohtani<\/a>. That quartet has already shown it can carry L.A. to the finish line, but adding one more elite arm could fully solidify the Dodgers\u2019 bid for a three-peat.<\/p>\n

Only time will tell if the Dodgers are actually done adding to their roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles Dodgers general manager and executive president of baseball operations Brandon Gomes said L.A. is not done…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":429814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[41070,8971,8974,174259,12947,10006,26085,2323,363,3956,99,4289,8968,8970,8963],"class_list":["post-429813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-alex-call","tag-andy-pages","tag-blake-snell","tag-brandon-gomes","tag-edwin-diaz","tag-kyle-tucker","tag-l-a","tag-los-angeles-dodgers","tag-mlb","tag-shohei-ohtani","tag-sports","tag-teoscar-hernandez","tag-tommy-edman","tag-tyler-glasnow","tag-yoshinobu-yamamoto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/429814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
