One Fan’s Opinion

Waiting for Andrew Friedman to put his final touches on the Dodgers 2026 roster can be a frustrating time for fans of the team.

While Friedman’s deliberate process can be frustratingly slow to some (most?), his patience has rewarded fans with three World Championships – a fourth was stolen by the cheating practices of the Houston Astros in the 2017 October Classic.

The team’s number one priority after signing free agent closer Edwin Díaz is an outfielder to replace Michael Conforto in the lineup. Internal candidates are either unproven (Ryan Ward), underwhelming (Alex Call and Michael Siani), or talented prospects who require more development time in the minors.

What players should the Dodgers acquire to finish their roster for 2026 and beyond?

In one fan’s opinion:

Don’t overthink it. Sign Kyle Tucker, who is one of the best all around right fielders in MLB, Teoscar Hernández moves to LF, with Andy Pages in CF. This would give the Dodgers one of the best outfields in MLB.

Trade for Washington Nationals LH starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore and second baseman CJ Abrams. Starting pitcher Emmet Sheehan, reliever Anthony Banda, infielder Alex Freeland, catcher Dalton Rushing, and pitching prospect Peter Heubeck go to the Nationals.

Tommy Edman takes the super utility role – second base, shortstop, third base, left field, and center field.

Sign soon-to-be 31-year-old backup catcher Reese McGuire, an excellent defensive catcher

That’s one fan’s opinion.

What do you think, Dodgers fans? How would you retool the Dodgers 2026 roster?
