Dodgers target world-class duo to bolster star-studded roster
The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly looking to bring in a number of high profile names as they look to continue their dynasty.
How many diamonds is too many diamonds when everything you’ve got is already made of diamonds? There’s no point stopping once you get to a certain point, as any other direction would look like a misstep.
Los Angeles Dodgers executives are not-so-quietly plotting another aggressive offseason push, with rumours whipped up that the two-time defending World Series champions are eyeing not just one, but two elite additions to their lineup and rotation.
After securing closer Edwin Díaz in a splash signing, the Dodgers appear determined to reinforce key areas ahead of their title defence in 2026.
The Blue Jays remain the favorites to land 4x All-Star Kyle Tucker, per @Feinsand.

Who could the Dodgers sign in the offseason?
At the centre of the buzz is outfielder Kyle Tucker, the biggest free-agent bat on the market.
Once with the Chicago Cubs, Tucker’s unique skillset make him a tantalising fit for the already stacked Los Angeles. Although he dealt with injuries late in the season, plenty still view Tucker as a game-changing acquisition who could add a sublime left-handed threat to an already dangerous roster.
Reports suggest the Dodgers could pursue Tucker on a shorter term deal with a high annual salary, rather than the long-term contract he might command elsewhere.
With established stars such as Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman leading the lineup, Tucker would slot in seamlessly and contribute without the pressure of being the primary face of the franchise.
Yet the Dodgers’ ambitions may not stop with Tucker. Alongside him, chatter around another premier target, has grown louder. Free-agent infielder Bo Bichette has also been named as a potential signing for the Dodgers, with ESPN writing that the team are “waiting for either Tucker or Bichette to fall to them on a shorter-term deal with a high average annual value closer to their price range.”
The Phillies are among a number of big-market teams to have interest in Bo Bichette, an ultra young (27) free agent. Yanks, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox and incumbent Jays, too. Bichette is the only player to hit .300 vs. fastballs, breaking balls and also changeups/splits.

Despite strong interest from rival clubs around Bichette in particular - most notably the Toronto Blue Jays - Los Angeles’ recent success and willingness to spend keeps them firmly in the mix for another period of dominance in the market.
