"Having already exercised team options on Max Muncy and Alex Vesia, respectively, in addition to making tender decisions with arbitration-eligible players, the first move the Los Angeles Dodgers made in free agency was coming to terms with Miguel Rojas on a one-year contract. Rojas' deal is reportedly worth $5.5 million as he looks to play a 13th and final season before retiring. Rojas at that point then plans to transition into the Dodgers front office to assist with player development."
"According to Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo of The Athletic, Bellinger might not be closed off to a return to the Dodgers organization: Bellinger, however, is believed to be open to a return to Los Angeles, a source said. The Dodgers' interest in Bellinger was first reported in November. He became a free agent this offseason after declining a $20 million player option."
"The 30-year-old is coming off a productive season with the New York Yankees after playing for the Chicago Cubs from 2023-2024. After failing to re-sign Juan Soto, the Yankees traded for Bellinger last December by sending Cody Poteet to the Cubs. Chicago had signed the 2018 National League MVP winner to a three-year, $80 million contract in February 2023. Bellinger received a $30 million salary in both 2024 and 2025."
