Dodgers Rumors: LA not expected to go after longtime white whale rival

In signing Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki last offseason, the Dodgers fortified their rotation through at least 2027 (LA has a club option on Tyler Glasnow for 2028). It'll be Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shohei Ohtani, Glasnow, and Sasaki for at least the next two seasons barring any injuries (knock on wood).

So, for the first time in a long time, the Dodgers won't need to look for a starting pitcher in the offseason. Even if they want to go into 2026 with a sixth starter, they have a clear internal option in Emmet Sheehan.

Arguably the most valuable starting pitcher guaranteed to hit the free agent market is two-time Cy Young and MVP nominee Dylan Cease, who is hitting free agency for the first time in his career after five seasons with the White Sox and two with the Padres.
