"The book closed on the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2025 season with a triumphant World Series win against the Toronto Blue Jays, and on the heels of celebration, MLB free agency officially began at 6 a.m. PT Sunday morning. The Dodgers have four free agents this winter, and hold a club options on Max Muncy and Alex Vesia. It's a noticeable change from last offseason, when the organization had eight players whose contracts expired aftr the World Series, but the front office figures to be just as busy shoring up deficiencies that surfaced throughout the year and playoffs."
"Acquired at the trade deadline in 2024, Kopech figured to be an important piece in the Dodgers' bullpen this season and he was a serviceable option at times when on the mound. The biggest issue was the right-hander was plagued by injuries and only made 14 appearances all season. It should not require a significant contract to re-sign Kopech back if the Dodgers wish to do so. Given how their relievers performed all season, the team needs as many bites at the apple as they can get when it comes to rebuilding their bullpen."
The Dodgers concluded 2025 as World Series champions and entered free agency with four players available and club options on Max Muncy and Alex Vesia. Clayton Kershaw is retiring and would otherwise have been among the free agents. Teams receive a five-day exclusive window to negotiate with their own free agents before players can talk with other clubs. Michael Conforto was a one-year reclamation signing who hit .199/.305/.333 with an 83 wRC+ in 418 at-bats and is unlikely to return. Michael Kopech was hindered by injuries and made only 14 appearances, yet could be re-signed affordably as the Dodgers seek bullpen depth. The front office will work to shore up roster deficiencies identified during the year and playoffs.
