There have been predictions that the Los Angeles Dodgers will be actively retooling their roster in pursuit<\/a> of a third straight World Series win. They have already made moves to that end. Most notably, former All-Star right-hander<\/a> Tony Gonsolin<\/a> has been released. It is no secret that they need to upgrade the outfield<\/a> and the bullpen<\/a>, even with the star power on the roster. However, in order to ensure depth, could the Dodgers acquire an infielder? Most likely, someone who could play second base and beef up the bench?<\/p>\n

Dodgers May Be in the Market for an Infielder<\/h2>\n

Taking Stock<\/h3>\n

Ironically, there was much discussion about the four-spot in the infield going into 2025. Looking back, Mookie Betts<\/a> played a Gold-Glove caliber shortstop, and he isn’t moving…yet. Currently, the Dodgers have Tommy Edman<\/a> and Hyeseong Kim<\/a> on the current 40-man roster, which has 37 players on it. Both Edman and Kim have played multiple infield positions. Kim is coming off his first season, where he struggled with injuries and at the plate. Miguel Rojas<\/a> and Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez<\/a> are free agents and have yet to sign anywhere. In addition, Hern\u00e1ndez had elbow surgery, and Edman had a procedure on his ankle<\/a>. Only Edman will be ready for Opening Day, according to reports. There has been no word on Kik\u00e9. The Dodgers know it’s a long season and prefer to get as healthy as possible for October. As a result, it wouldn’t be a surprise to slow walk Edman and Hernandez back.<\/p>\n

Bringing Back a World Series Hero<\/h3>\n

The Dodgers wouldn’t have won the World Series without<\/a> Miguel Rojas. His defensive exploits were incredible in Game Six, and his game-tying swing in the ninth inning of Game Seven was legendary. He is an indispensable leader on and off the field. To put it simply, Rojas is manager material in the future. The question is, is that future now? The veteran says he would like to play one more year for Los Angeles before retirement. Will that be in a Dodgers uniform? Rojas will be 37 next season, and he was relegated to the bench for most of the season. Prior to the home run in the World Series, Rojas didn’t have a hit in a month. Will the Dodgers show loyalty and re-sign the veteran, or will they try to get younger?<\/p>\n
