The Los Angeles Dodgers lost Miguel Rojas to retirement, and Kiké Hernández is currently a free agent.
The Dodgers could be looking for a new utility player whom they can rely on in big spots and at multiple positions. Last season, the Dodgers dealt with a ton of injuries, and a reliable utility man would help out a ton. According to The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, Mauricio Dubón is generating "at least some level of interest from the Dodgers."
"Dubón, 32, might have played well enough in his lone season with the Atlanta Braves that his market winds up exceeding the Dodgers’ desired range, but the three-time Gold Glove winner has been a versatile defender at multiple positions while producing at close to a league-average level offensively (98 OPS+) in 2026," wrote Ardaya.
Ardaya also noted that the Dodgers may be interested in giving Alex Freeland another shot at regular at-bats, and that could come at second base. The Dodgers still have Tommy Edman who could fill that utility role if that's the case.
Regardless, Rojas and Hernández need to be replaced in some capacity. Dubón won his third career Gold Glove last season and posted a .719 OPS.
Plenty of teams will be trying to land him, but it's unclear if any teams are viewing him as an everyday solution at one position or if he is still best suited as a utility man.
