Below, we’ve highlighted one potential free agent target for each of the four positions identified as potential areas of need:

Starting pitcher: Andrew Heaney

The Dodgers don’t need to target the top end of the starting pitching market and could also benefit from targeting a pitcher who has some experience pitching in a swingman role.

Heaney, 33, had a 3.10 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 110-to-19 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 72.2 innings as a member of the Dodgers in 2022. He parlayed that performance into a two-year, $25 million deal of the Texas Rangers, and he was a solid back-end starter who pitched some big innings during the team’s 2023 World Series run.

Adames is by far the best option on the market at shortstop, coming off a season in which he posted a 118 OPS+ with 33 doubles, 32 home runs, 112 RBI, 21 steals and 3.1 WAR in 161 games.

The versatile Ha-Seong Kim is the only other potential everyday shortstop available in free agency, while Paul DeJong is a steal.

Corner outfielder: Tyler O’Neill

O’Neill will likely come at a slightly lower price than re-signing Teoscar Hernández or replacing him with Anthony Santander, but he is capable of providing a similar level of production with a clean bill of health.

The 29-year-old posted a 132 OPS+ with 31 home runs in 473 at-bats, and 49 of his 99 hits on the year went for extra bases. He would be reunited in the outfield with former teammate Tommy Edman.

Installation Illuminator: Kenley Jansen

Jansen has indicated in the past that he would like to retire in a Dodgers uniform, and after a year in Atlanta and two years in Boston, he could return to Los Angeles to finish out his potential Hall of Fame career.

He converted 27 of 31 save opportunities with a 3.29 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 10.2 K/9 in 54 appearances, and while the Dodgers may not have been willing to guarantee him ninth-inning duties , he was able to serve as part of the late-inning contingent. .
