MLB's revised CBA offer would delay its proposed salary cap to 2028, with a $258.2M cap and $180.2M floor. It's only a proposal, not an agreement with players, but it gives the Dodgers one more year of runway before any spending limits could apply. 📋
Dodgers rumor: after an NLCS sweep by Milwaukee, Jim Bowden says a big swing for Elly De La Cruz (30 HR, 30 SB) or CJ Abrams (33 HR, 34 SB) could make sense as L.A. looks to get younger. Nothing is confirmed, and top prospects may be close. 🔍
Dodgers offseason is quiet so far: nine players hit free agency, including Tarik Skubal, and returning IL arms (Casparius, Cousins, Klein, Stone) put the 40-man at 37. No waiver claims or outrights yet. Next checkpoint: Nov. 17 roster protection deadline. 📋
Brock Stewart and Jake Cousins could be sneaky non-tender candidates for the Dodgers. Both produced in 2026 (2.70 and 2.37 ERA) and are cheap, but 40-man spots are precious with prospects and free agents looming. Stewart is out of options. 🗂️
Joc Pederson, who hit a career-high 36 homers for the Dodgers in 2019, turned down his $18.5M mutual option with Texas and is now a free agent. He hit 26 HR this year, and the 2020 champion arrives in a thin class.
The Dodgers hired Padres COO Caroline Perry as executive VP and COO, effective Nov. 30, and promoted Royce Cohen to executive VP and chief business officer. Bob Wolfe retires at year's end, so the front office gets a rival-sourced upgrade. 🧾
Dodgers offseason notes: Miguel Rojas is already helping Charles Davalan with his move to second base, and Rojas and Enrique Hernandez's goodbyes may be final. Prospect Sam Horn's fastball sits 94-96 in the AFL, with a new changeup grip. 🔍
Dodger fans love prospects until they struggle. An opinion piece argues early MLB failure is a poor gauge of a young player's ceiling, using Miguel Vargas, who hit .195 with seven homers in 81 games in 2023 at age 23, as Exhibit A. Patience, apparently, is optional. 🙃
The Dodgers hired Padres COO Caroline Perry as their new chief operating officer and executive vice president, replacing the retiring Bob Wolfe. A front-office poach from a divisional rival, and the offseason is already moving. 📋
Reportedly, the Mets are the "obvious" outside suitor for Tarik Skubal, with the Dodgers listed as the incumbent, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Skubal is expected to sign before the Dec. 1 lockout, though L.A. might cap its bid. 💰
Dodgers reportedly could battle the Mets for Tarik Skubal, with MLB Trade Rumors' Steve Adams predicting a nine-year, $425M deal. L.A. issued no qualifying offers, and its deep rotation may curb urgency. The Mets, meanwhile, have the bigger need. 💰
The Dodgers hired Caroline Perry away from the rival Padres as EVP and COO. She starts Nov. 30, replacing the retiring Bob Wolfe, who stays on as an adviser. Royce Cohen was also promoted to chief business officer. A division rival just lost its COO. 🏢
Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicts the Dodgers could target Braves utilityman Mauricio Dubón to replace Kiké Hernández, a free agent, with Miguel Rojas retiring. It's a prediction, not a deal. A versatile fix for an aging roster. 🔧
Mark Walter insists the Dodgers aren't for sale "no matter what," but TWG also denied Cadillac F1 exit plans in August, and now a sale of that stake is reportedly being explored. Amid investor lawsuits and federal probes, his denials come with an asterisk. 🤨
Dodgers reportedly expected to battle the Yankees for Japanese teen Shoki Oda, an 18-year-old righty who hit 97.6 mph at Koshien. He idolizes Yamamoto and follows only the Dodgers on Instagram, but a looming lockout makes this a race against the calendar. ⏳
Former Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen, a 2020 World Series winner, had his $12M 2027 option declined by the Tigers, who owe a $2M buyout. He hits free agency two saves shy of 500, while the Dodgers also face a wave of free agents. 🔒

Dodgers front office shakeup: Caroline Perry, Padres COO since January 2023, joins as EVP & COO effective Nov. 30. Royce Cohen moves up from SVP of Business Strategy to EVP & CBO. Stan Kasten calls both hires "truly enviable" expertise. 🏢
The Dodgers are reportedly hiring Padres COO Caroline Perry to succeed Bob Wolfe, who plans to retire after 2026 and stay on as an advisor. If it holds, the front office gets a division rival's executive. 🔄
Rule 5 season is approaching, and the Dodgers' 40-man roster crunch comes with it. The mid-November protection deadline forces choices on eligible prospects before the early-December draft, and any unprotected player can be taken for $100,000. 📋
