Dodgers Looking to Add Position Player After Edwin Diaz Signing, Says Andrew Friedman
"I think adding a position player, and ideally someone that's really good on both sides of the ball,"
"We have some positional flexibility, so we're not locked into, 'It has to be this one specific spot,' which just increases the chances. There are a lot of interesting guys, both on the free agent market and trade market, that we're having a lot of active conversations on. We feel good about something lining up, but we may have to be a little bit patient."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed relief pitcher Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million contract. The team is actively pursuing a position player who contributes both offensively and defensively. Positional flexibility exists, allowing multiple roster configurations and reducing the need to target a single specific spot. The primary roster need centers on an outfielder to replace Michael Conforto, though internal options include moving Tommy Edman to center and Andy Pages to a corner outfield role if an infielder better fits. The Dodgers have been linked to names like Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, Jarren Duran, and Brendan Donovan, and remain considered World Series favorites for 2026.
