MLB.com is keeping track of all the latest free-agent and trade rumors involving the Dodgers right here.

Nov. 9: Will Sasaki join Ohtani and Yamamoto with Dodgers?
Ace Japanese right-hander Roki Sasaki is set to be posted by the Chiba Lotte Mariners of Nippon Professional Baseball this offseason, and the Dodgers could be the favorites when the bidding gets underway.

Because he hasn’t yet turned 25 years old, Sasaki will be classified as an international amateur, so MLB teams will be restricted in what they can offer him. As a result, the Dodgers won’t be able to outmuscle other teams with their considerable financial resources like they did when they signed two other top Japanese stars in free agency last offseason, landing Shohei Ohtani for $700 million on a 10-year contract and inking Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year, $325 million deal.

However, as Kiley McDaniel noted in a story for ESPN+ (subscription required) on Saturday, the Dodgers’ appeal as an organization goes beyond money.

“Sasaki is heavily rumored to prefer the Dodgers for all the reasons Yamamoto was presumed to: West Coast, loaded team, Japanese teammates, top-notch development, major market, etc.,” McDaniel wrote. “In a world where the amount of money each team can offer is a secondary concern, this becomes a college-style recruiting pitch, rather than the typical free agency bidding war, and the Dodgers might have the best pitch in baseball.”

However, ESPN's Jeff Passan doesn't think Sasaki to the Dodgers is a foregone conclusion, pointing to the level of international attention that Ohtani and Yamamoto command as a factor that might repel Sasaki.

According to Passan, Sasaki is close with Padres right-hander Yu Darvish, which could make San Diego an attractive destination. The Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, Cubs, Rangers and Rays are some of the other clubs that could make strong recruiting pitches to the 23-year-old.

Nov. 6: Did the Dodgers just open up RF for Soto?
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said at the GM meetings on Wednesday that the club plans to move Mookie Betts back to the infield after he began last season at shortstop but later moved back to right field.

That begs the question: Does this open up right field for a pursuit of superstar slugger Juan Soto?

The Dodgers are one of several teams thought to be interested in signing Soto to a megadeal, along with the Yankees, Mets and others. Whether moving Betts to the middle infield again is an indication that the franchise is going all-in on Soto is uncertain, but it is certainly an intriguing development.

Nov. 5: Kershaw becomes free agent; Teoscar gets QO
Clayton Kershaw plans to come back for an 18th season in the Major Leagues next year, and he exclaimed during the team's World Series celebration last week that he is a "Dodger for life." But if he does stay in Dodger blue, it will have to be on a new contract. Kershaw declined his player option Monday, making him a free agent. The 36-year-old is set to undergo left toe and left knee surgeries on Wednesday.

Also on Monday, the Dodgers extended the qualifying offer to outfielder Teoscar Hernández. The slugger, who has also expressed interest in remaining with the Dodgers, has until 1 p.m. PT on Nov. 19 to come to a decision, though he is widely expected to decline the one-year offer, which is worth $21.05 million for the 2025 season.

The Dodgers and Hernández are expected to engage in contract negotiations over the next couple of weeks. But after hitting a career-high 33 homers this season, the 32-year-old will have plenty of suitors coming off his bounce-back season.

While extending Hernández a qualifying offer was a no-brainer for the Dodgers, not doing the same for right-hander Walker Buehler came as a bit of a surprise. More >

Nov. 1: Teoscar, Flaherty express desire to return to Dodgers
Outfielder Teoscar Hernández and right-hander Jack Flaherty are both free agents this offseason, but the two made it clear on Friday that their desire is to be back with the defending World Series-champion Dodgers next season.

“My hopes are really high,” Hernández said. “Like I’ve said before, the Dodgers are the priority, obviously. I’m going to do everything in my power to come back.”

As for Flaherty, the right-hander told David Vassegh on SportsNet LA that he would like to return to his hometown team.

“I love this city,” Flaherty said. “I never want to leave.”

Oct. 31: Following World Series triumph, how will Dodgers navigate the offseason?
The Dodgers committed more than $1.2 billion to building a championship contender last offseason, headlined by the record-setting signings of Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. That spending spree paid off immediately as the Dodgers won the World Series with a Game 5 victory over the Yankees on Wednesday.

While Los Angeles is still basking in the glow of its first full-season championship since 1988, its front office will soon turn its attention to this winter’s free-agent market and what moves it can make to turn the Dodgers into MLB’s first repeat champions since the 1999-2000 Yanks.

The Dodgers have a few big-name free agents this year, including starting pitchers Jack Flaherty and Walker Buehler. Clayton Kershaw has a player option for next season. The club has a handful of starters coming back from injury -- Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin -- who could fill those voids next year. But given how often the Dodgers shop at the top of the market, a marquee hurler such as Corbin Burnes could be on their radar.

Offensively, could Juan Soto jump from the Yankees to the Dodgers? It may not be out of the question. Putting Soto in the same lineup with Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman might seem like something only possible in fantasy baseball, but the Dodgers have the financial flexibility to make another headline-grabbing addition this winter. Ohtani deferred almost all of the money on his $700 million deal to 2034 and beyond. Betts and Freeman’s contracts -- worth more than $500 million in total value -- contain about $170 million of deferred money combined.

Teoscar Hernández, who signed a one-year deal with the Dodgers in January, will head back out into the open market after a stellar season highlighted by a career-high 33 home runs. Fan favorite and postseason star Kiké Hernández is also a free agent.
