Dodgers Predicted to Sign Padres All-Star Reliever in Free Agency

Much of the offseason talk surrounding the Dodgers has been about the aim to improve the bullpen. There's a real need to add multiple high-leverage arms from the right side. With Kirby Yates and Michael Kopech leaving for free agency, Blake Treinen aging, and Evan Phillips suddenly no longer with the ballclub, there's no secret the team needs help in this specific area.

If the Red Sox opt to trade for a hitter, who could be some of their options?

The Red Sox have been linked to some of the top hitters in free agency this offseason, like Pete Alonso, Kyle Schwarber, and Munetaka Murakami.

Chad Johnson Wants Cowboys WR To Hit Free Agency

I love the situation for (George Pickens) with the Cowboys, but I would love to see him have his own team. I would love to see him be somewhere else, and be 1A, not having to be 1B to someone else.

Triston Casas was once projected to be a key cog in the Red Sox' next wave of top young talent. But, after breaking through with a 23-homer season in 2023, the power-hitting first baseman has seen his career derailed by injuries and a sizable dip in production.

The Halos were known to be seeking at least two starting pitchers this winter, and while Rodriguez technically counts toward that end, he's coming off a season lost to injury and hasn't pitched in a big league game since July 2024. He's said to be healthy now, but even if that's the case, the Angels can't simply pencil him in for 30 starts next year.
