The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered to be a strong contender when it comes to acquiring the Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet. The 25-year-old had a standout 2024 season, earning an All-Star nod and setting career highs in strikeouts and innings pitched. With two years of team control remaining and an affordable salary, Crochet is an attractive option for the Dodgers.
Veteran shortstop Miguel Rojas plans to retire after the 2026 season, aiming to finish his career with the Dodgers. The 35-year-old had a strong 2024 season, posting a .283/.337/.410 line. Rojas expressed his desire to leave the game at his peak and transition into coaching with the Dodgers after his playing days are over.
