Rotoworld Player News

Miguel Rojas

LAD 2nd Baseman #72

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Dodgers re-signed INF Miguel Rojas to a one-year, $5.5 million contract.

The deal is now official. Rojas returns as an extremely important utility specialist for the back-to-back World Series champions after playing a starring role during the most recent Fall Classic. The 36-year-old veteran gives Los Angeles a decent fallback option at second base and figures to play all over the infield next season. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats at this advanced stage of his career.
Cody Bellinger

FA Center Fielder #35

The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports the Yankees are making a big effort to re-sign Cody Bellinger.

Heyman adds that Bellinger remains New York’s top offseason priority, though the two sides aren’t close to a deal at this stage. He also lists the Mets, Phillies, Dodgers and Angels as other potential landing spots. The 30-year-old delivered an excellent first season in the Bronx, slashing .272/.334/.480 with 29 homers — his highest total since 2019 — to go along with 98 RBI and 13 steals across 152 games. His return would significantly improve the Yankees’ outfield defense and give them a proven left-handed, middle-of-the-order anchor to pair with Aaron Judge.
Robert Suarez

FA Relief Pitcher #75

In their pursuit of a reliever, the Dodgers are showing greater interest in Robert Suarez than either Edwin Díaz or Pete Fairbanks, says The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya.

Fairbanks just doesn’t seem to be on the team’s list at all, and Díaz is looking for more years than Suarez and also has the qualifying offer hanging over his head. Suarez is pretty clearly the No. 2 reliever on a market that has lost previous Dodgers targets Devin Williams, Raisel Iglesias and Ryan Helsley. Of course, old friend Kenley Jansen is still out there, too.
Teoscar Hernandez

LAD Right Fielder #37

Sources told The Athletic that Teoscar Hernández’s name is coming up in trade conversations.

Hernández wouldn’t seem to be in great demand after performing as just a league-average hitter in the first year of a three-year, $66 million deal, but since that contract included a $23 million signing bonus, it’s pretty friendly going forward; he’s owed $33 million for two years or $41.5 million for three, with $16 million of that being deferred for six years. He wouldn’t be a bad pickup at that price, especially for a team that could give him some DH time. Still, it seems likely that the Dodgers will keep him unless they add a big name to their outfield.
Miguel Rojas

FA Shortstop #72

Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase reports that the Dodgers are re-signing Miguel Rojas to a one-year deal.

Álvarez-Montes reports that Rojas will earn $5.5 million, and that this will be the final year before he retires. The 36-year-old was a hero in the World Series for the Dodgers in 2026 while hitting the game-tying homer in the ninth, but he also was a solid utility player for the club prior to that while slashing .262/.318/.397 over 317 at-bats. He likely will serve in the same role in 2026.
Cody Bellinger

FA Center Fielder #35

MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports that the Cody Bellinger free agent market “is very hot indeed.”

Morosi indicated that all of the Yankees, Mets, Phillies, and Dodgers are “actively courting” Bellinger. The 30-year-old is coming off a strong 2025 season that saw him his .272 with 29 home runs, 98 RBI, 89 runs, and an .813 OPS. He also plays above-average defense at both center field and first base, which makes him even more attractive as a target.
Josh Byrnes

COL General Manager

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports that the Rockies will name Josh Byrnes as the new general manager.

Byrnes will serve under president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta. The 55-year-old Byrnes has been the Dodgers’ senior vice president of baseball operations since 2014, but he was previously the general manager for the Diamondbacks from 2005-2010 and then for the Padres from 2011-2014. His primary responsibilities for the Dodgers included supervising the team’s scouting and player development, so his experience will be leaned on heavily as the Rockies try to turn their organization around.
Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17

Shohei Ohtani will play for Team Japan in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

Ohtani announced on Instagram that he’ll represent Japan again in next March’s international showcase. The 31-year-old generational superstar helped deliver Japan the 2023 World Baseball Classic title, punctuating it with one of the defining moments of his career when he struck out Mike Trout to end the tournament. It’s unclear whether he’ll take the mound this time around, but his mere presence makes the event mandatory viewing — the kind of gravitational sports moment you rearrange your schedule around without thinking twice.
Gavin Stone

LAD Starting Pitcher #35

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said last week that Gavin Stone (shoulder) will be ready for spring training.

Stone appears on track for a normal spring ramp up after missing last season while recovering from shoulder surgery. The track record is a bit checkered for pitchers coming off major shoulder procedures so fantasy managers should keep an eye on his velocity and command during Cactus League exhibition outings. He’ll presumably be in the mix for a swingman-type role with the Dodgers, if his stuff bounces back to pre-surgery levels.
River Ryan

LAD Starting Pitcher #77

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said last week that River Ryan (elbow) will have a normal buildup in spring training.

Ryan will be roughly 18 months removed from Tommy John surgery by next spring and shouldn’t have any limitations at the outset of camp. The 27-year-old righty recorded a sparkling 1.33 ERA over 20 1/3 innings over four starts when he broke into the majors back in 2024. He’ll likely open next season in the minors to focus on building up his stamina and workload but should factor into the Dodgers’ pitching mix at some point.
