4 Dodgers Who Could Be DFA’d Amid Desperate Search for Offense
The Dodgers are in need of offense by any means, and a possible upgrade could result in some 40-man roster casualties.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are searching for offensive improvements, which could potentially lead to roster changes. Despite having one of the best 40-man rosters in baseball, the team's performance has been subpar throughout August, aside from the rotation. The Dodgers value defense and experience in their position players, but some players may need to be replaced to bring in younger talent capable of hitting.
With the MLB roster expansion from 26 to 28 players, the Dodgers have room to make these changes. Players who could be designated for assignment (DFA) include Hyeseong Kim, Eliezer Alfonzo, Paul Gervase, and Landon Knack. Kim has the potential to be a solid player but struggles with consistency at the plate. Alfonzo, a catcher, is relatively easy to replace due to the abundance of catching options in the major leagues.
Pitching depth is strong for the Dodgers, so Gervase and Knack might be candidates for DFA to create space for better offensive options.
