Los Angeles Dodgers fans may be shocked by the upcoming free agent market, as MLB insider David Schoenfield predicts the team will sign Houston Astros star Alex Bregman to a hefty deal.
Schoenfield suggests the Dodgers will pursue Bregman in a significant move, possibly a “blockbuster” signing. However, there are reasons to believe such an arrangement might be unlikely. The team already boasts a formidable lineup with players like Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, and Hyeseong Kim, as well as depth at second base with Mike Conforto and Miguel Rojas.
Bregman’s role in 2025 could include switching between second and third base, but replacing him in 2026 may be challenging given the team’s current roster. Additionally, the Dodgers’ financial situation is already tight due to expiring player salaries and a crowded 40-man roster with Kirby Yates needing to clear a spot.
While the team has expressed interest in adding another third baseman like Nolan Arenado, rumors of Bregman joining Los Angeles seem improbable given their current state. The decision likely hinges on whether the Dodgers can afford such a high-profile addition while maintaining their already successful structure.
