With their sights firmly set on defending their World Series title, the Dodgers have been active in the offseason, acquiring several high-profile free agents and continuing to make moves to bolster their squad.
Another player whose future with the team is uncertain is Chris Taylor. After a lackluster 2024 season, where he posted a .202 batting average with only four home runs in 213 plate appearances, Taylor’s struggles were evident.
Given his underperformance, the Dodgers may look to part ways with him in favor of bringing in fresh talent that could contribute more consistently.
Trading these players could open the door for further acquisitions, ensuring that the Dodgers maintain their competitive edge while also managing their financial commitments effectively.
Miguel Rojas, the versatile shortstop who struggled to secure a consistent role in 2024, might find himself elsewhere in 2025. Rojas played part-time at shortstop, with Mookie Betts stepping into the position for stretches during the season.
With rumors circulating about other potential moves, three players could find themselves on the trade block before spring training.
After a strong rookie season in 2023, Outman failed to maintain his momentum in 2024, and with players like Tommy Edman performing well, Outman may find himself excluded from the Dodgers’ plans for 2025.
Moving them would not only allow the Dodgers to create space for other key additions but also help alleviate some of the deferred money from the team’s roster, which currently exceeds one billion dollars in contracts.
