"Irvin, a starter, made 28 appearances with the Doosan Bears in 2025, posting a 4.48 ERA through 144.2 innings pitched. He recorded 128 strikeouts in KBO last season, equalling his career high from his time in MLB. Throughout his time in MLB, Irvin made a total of 134 appearances with 93 starts. He has a career 4.54 ERA, and his best seasons came with the A's in 2021 and 2022."
"The Dodgers are likely to run a six-man rotation next season, much like they did towards the end of 2025, and they have plenty of All-Star-caliber players to fill their rotation. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki and Emmet Sheehan are all healthy and ready to go next season, and the Dodgers also have River Ryan and Gavin Stone as backup plans if they need other options in the rotation."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed left-hander Cole Irvin to a minor league contract with a spring training invitation. Irvin spent 2025 with the Doosan Bears in KBO, making 28 appearances, pitching 144.2 innings with a 4.48 ERA and recording 128 strikeouts. Irvin has six MLB seasons of experience, totaling 593 innings with a 4.54 career ERA, 134 appearances and 93 starts, and 434 strikeouts. The Dodgers plan a deep six-man rotation featuring established starters and internal depth. Irvin’s chances to crack the major-league rotation are limited, though a bullpen role remains possible.
