The Dodgers cleared three spots on their 40-man roster earlier this month, when they DFA'd Tony Gonsolin and Michael Grove and silently placed Ben Rortvedt on waivers. Gonsolin and Grove both elected free agency, and Rortvedt was claimed by the Reds.
Two of those spots were filled by minor league outfielder Ryan Ward and pitcher Robinson Ortiz, but Ortiz was shipped off to the Mariners in exchange for pitcher Tyler Gough on the same night Seattle re-signed Josh Naylor. LA's 40-man now stands at 38.
The Dodgers could use their last two slots to protect Rule 5 Draft-eligible prospects, but that seems unlikely when they need a new left fielder and a bullpen revamp this offseason.
