Jonathan Loáisiga Rumors: Dodgers Among Interested Teams

The free-agent market for relief pitchers has heated up in recent days, with the Los Angeles Dodgers seemingly involved on multiple fronts.

The team would love to bring back Alex Vesia, but the left-hander has drawn significant interest and could command a three-year contract in free agency. L.A. was also said to be exploring the possibility of adding Tim Hill , but he reportedly re-signed with the New York Yankees on a one-year deal.

The Dodgers are also among the teams showing interest in Arizona Diamondbacks free agent Jonathan Loáisiga, who could be nearing a decision, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.

Hot stove starting to simmer. Reliever Jonathan Loáisiga getting closer, per source. 5 teams involved. 2.42 ERA in 67 games last yr for Az. Dodgers among them

Loáisiga is coming off a resurgent season with the Diamondbacks, going 7-3 with a 2.42 ERA, 2.88 FIP and 1.03 WHIP in 67 appearances. He had been limited to 51.1 innings over the previous three years with the Yankees due to injuries. He was otherwise a key member of the New York bullpen earlier in his career.

Loáisiga struck out only 48 batters in his 67 innings of work last season but continued to excel at keeping the ball on the ground. He ranked eighth with a 56.4 ground-ball rate in 2026 among pitchers with a minimum 60 innings, which was slightly higher than his career average of 54.6%.

A potential Loáisiga signing would help the Dodgers fill the void left by Evan Phillips, who inked a three-year contract with the Atlanta Braves last week.

The Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and Yankees are also believed to have checked in on Loáisiga this offseason.

Dodgers projected bullpen in 2027

As it currently stands, the Dodgers’ bullpen is set to return Edwin Díaz, Tanner Scott, Jack Dreyer, Edgardo Henriquez and Brock Stewart, among others, next season.

Loáisiga would give the group another reliable right-handed option, and his ground-ball tendencies would pair well with a strong Dodgers infield anchored by Max Muncy at third base and Mookie Betts at shortstop.
