    Three-Inning Save: What’s left to do in the Dodgers offseason?
    Jan 27 2026
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap the Kyle Tucker press conference, go over his contract details and opt-out clauses in the four-year, $240 million deal, why he chose uniform number 23, and where the right fielder might hit in the Dodgers lineup. We also take a look at what is probably remaining for the Dodgers to add to the roster in the two-plus weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

  • Three-Inning Save: Kyle Tucker joins Dodgers on record-setting contract

    Three-Inning Save: Kyle Tucker joins Dodgers on record-setting contract
    Jan 17 2026
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers continued to swim in the deep end of the free agent pool, signing Kyle Tucker for a staggering $240 million over four years. Tucker, who turned 29 on Saturday, was considered the top free agent on the market, and he stabilizes a Dodgers outfield that struggled to produce in 2025, especially in the corners. He joins Andy Pages as the only Dodgers regular position players younger than 30 years old. Tucker has two opt-outs in the deal, but not until 2027, meaning the Dodgers lineup (and starting rotation) are nearly completely all signed for at least the next two seasons (except for third baseman Max Muncy, who is a free agent after the season). The cost is exorbitant, but the Dodgers have been comfortably in that space now for multiple years running. Efficiency isn’t necessarily the goal of each deal, as the Dodgers in signing both Tucker and closer Edwin Díaz opted for the easiest route, signing the best player available because they had the financial wherewithal to do so.

  • Three-Inning Save: Dodgers add Andy Ibáñez & Ryan Fitzgerald

    Three-Inning Save: Dodgers add Andy Ibáñez & Ryan Fitzgerald
    Jan 12 2026
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the Dodgers settled all salary arbitration cases and added some infield depth to the 40-man roster. Andy Ibáñez signed a one-year deal and figures to see time at second and third base, adding some insurance with Tommy Edman coming off ankle surgery and Max Muncy playing only 173 total games over the last two seasons. Four players eligible for arbitration signed one-year deals with the Dodgers before Thursday’s salary exchange date. Brusdar Graterol signed for $2.8 million after missing all of the 2025 season rehabbing from shoulder surgery, left-hander Anthony Banda signed for $1.625 million, outfielder Alex Call signed for $1.6 million, and right-hander Brock Stewart signed for $1.3 million. The Dodgers also claimed utility man Ryan Fitzgerald off waivers from the Twins. We look at the position-player side of the 40-man roster and what might be left this offseason.
