Donovan emerged as an All-Star player in 2025 and is only 28. He’s likely closing in on a big payday in the near future, but right now, he’s only making $5.75 million in 2026. That said, the Dodgers would have to trade away assets to get him.

After first showing interest in Brendan Donovan at the 2025 MLB trade deadline, the Los Angeles Dodgers have continued to be linked to the St. Louis Cardinals utility man.

With Cease, Cody Ponce, Kevin Gausman, Shane Bieber, and Trey Yesavage already batting for rotation spots, it’s possible Keller could represent a swing arm similar to what Eric Lauer was for Toronto in 2025. That could be valuable given Bieber’s health issues.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly out on star closer Edwin Diaz, Cody Belligner, and Kyle Tucker as per a recent update.

After adding Edwin Díaz to be their closer and boasting a rotation that currently runs six deep, the Los Angeles Dodgers could be open to trading one member of their starting staff.

The Kansas City Royals may have the opportunity to trade for a Los Angeles Dodgers slugger if the stars align.

Although much of the offseason rumor mill involving the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason has centered around their searches for an outfielder and bullpen help, a recent development to emerge is a potential Teoscar Hernández trade.
