"The Dodgers are back in the World Series to defend the title they won last year after sweeping the Brewers out of the NLCS, but while they wait to see which of the Mariners and Blue Jays will emerge from the ALCS to challenge them for the commissioner's trophy it appears their front office has already directed one eye towards the coming offseason."
"The news is hardly a surprise, as the Dodgers are routinely involved with the game's marquee free agents. They famously won the sweepstakes for both Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto during the 2023-24 offseason, and while last winter saw them miss on young superstar after landing as one of five finalists for his services, they still went on to spend plenty in free agency as they brought in Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Tanner Scott among a number of other signings and re-signings."
The Dodgers are back in the World Series after sweeping the Brewers in the NLCS and are preparing for the offseason. Los Angeles is expected to target outfielder Kyle Tucker when free agency opens following the World Series. The Dodgers have a pattern of pursuing marquee free agents, previously acquiring Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto and signing Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Tanner Scott. Outfield production has been a notable weakness; a 113 wRC+ player has emerged in center field, while Teoscar Hernandez regressed and Michael Conforto posted a poor 83 wRC+ and missed the postseason roster. Conforto is likely to return to free agency, creating an opening Tucker could fill.
