The Los Angeles Dodgers enter a high-stakes offseason following a season marked by injuries and roster turnover. With nine players set to hit free agency—including Tarik Skubal, Miguel Rojas, and Kris Bubic—the team will need to navigate a crowded market while managing a 40-man roster reduced to 37 players after the World Series concludes.
Rojas, a 13-year veteran, has already secured a front-office role with the Dodgers, shifting his focus to player development. Meanwhile, the team faces a critical decision on whether to extend qualifying offers to eligible free agents, with the 2026 qualifying offer valued at $23.15 million, a 5.11% increase from last year’s figure.
The Dodgers’ payroll strategy will hinge on retaining key talent amid a looming lockout, as the collective bargaining agreement expires on December 1, adding urgency to their roster planning.
