Dodgers Notes: James Outman Sent to Minors, Ex-Dodger Signs With Rival, LA Interested in 3 Japanese Players

The Los Angeles Dodgers are 2-0 so far in the 2025 regular season. As the team returns from a successful run in Japan, three players were optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City — and James Outman, despite a push this spring to return to the majors, is one of them.

Additionally, an ex-Dodgers pitcher has decided to sign with the rival Arizona Diamondbacks on a minor league deal. He only made four appearances for L.A. in 2024, but that is enough for him to have secured a World Series ring and forever be considered a champion.

And finally, a recent Dodgers exec revealed that there are at least three Japanese players potentially planning a jump to MLB that they are interested in over the next five years.
