If you heard two or three years ago that the Los Angeles Dodgers traded away Gavin Lux and Diego Cartaya during the winter hot stove, you would have probably guessed that the team got a huge haul in return. Instead, the Dodgers got a promising outfield prospect, a very young pitching prospect, and a 2025 competitive balance draft pick after the first round.

As the MLB hot stove continues to percolate, there are still a slew of factors that could affect how the Opening Day roster for the Los Angeles Dodgers shapes up in 2025. More specifically, there are various scenarios that could affect where some players appear regularly on the field.
What we know for certain, as far as position players go, is that Shohei Ohtani will do the bulk of the designated hitting, Freddie Freeman will be at first base, Will Smith will be behind the plate and newly acquired Michael Conforto will see time at the corner outfield spots.

Although Tommy Edman’s extension from the Los Angeles Dodgers has seemingly taken a backseat to the Blake Snell signing, it still remains an important part of the team roster foundation in 2025 and beyond.

The Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday afternoon made the signing of Blake Snell official, revealing that they snagged the 31-year-old lefty to a five-year, $182 million contract after he opted out of his current two-year deal with rival San Francisco.
For front-office boss Andrew Friedman and his crew, this acquisition represents more than just adding another high-quality arm — it spearheads what could be a productive offseason that sets the team up for a run at another World Championship.
