The Los Angeles Dodgers are no longer in the 2026 postseason after falling to the Milwaukee Brewers in NLCS Game 4. The club is now watching the remaining three teams compete in the ongoing World Series.
Nine Dodgers players are reaching free agency this offseason. Left-hander Tarik Skubal is the biggest name among them, and whether Los Angeles re-signs him — and at what price — is a key question for the organization, MLB.com's Sonja Chen wrote.
Skubal and teammate Blake Snell still believe the championship window is "wide open" despite the failed three-peat, the Los Angeles Times' Maddie Lee noted.
Shohei Ohtani received an "F" grade in Jack Harris's end-of-season report card for the California Post, as a turbulent second half and postseason derailed what had been an MVP-caliber season.
Shortstop Miguel Rojas has retired and will no longer play in MLB. Dodger Insider's Cary Osborne reported that Rojas appreciated his teammates after the NLCS Game 4 loss. An impending lockout is also affecting the timing of the Dodgers' offseason operations.
