"After making a splash with the signing of Edwin Díaz, the Los Angeles Dodgers turned their attention to adding a position player to help fill out their lineup, which struggled frequently at times during the 2025 regular season and into the postseason. Adding an outfielder is the most logical option, as Andy Pages was their only player who gave them quality production this past season. The defense was also an issue in both corner spots, with Michael Conforto and Teoscar Hernández ranking as two of the worst defenders in MLB."
"The 27-year-old would represent a significant upgrade to the Dodgers lineup, and he would become their best right-handed hitter if signed. Bichette is coming off a strong season in which he hit .311/.357/.483 with 18 home runs, 94 RBI and 78 runs scored, along with a 134 wRC+ and 3.8 WAR in just 139 games. Over his career, he's hit .294/.337/.469 with 111 home runs, 437 RBI, 438 runs, a 122 wRC+ and 20 WAR."
After signing Edwin Díaz, the Los Angeles Dodgers prioritized adding a position player to bolster a lineup that struggled during the 2025 regular season and postseason. An outfielder is the most logical target given Andy Pages was the only reliable offensive producer and corner defense ranked poorly with Michael Conforto and Teoscar Hernández among the worst defenders. Team versatility allows consideration of a second baseman if Tommy Edman’s ankle heals and he shifts to center. Hyeseong Kim has limited outfield experience. The Dodgers have checked in on Blue Jays free agent Bo Bichette, a 27-year-old bat with strong recent and career offensive metrics but some durability concerns.
