With the new year here and a fair amount of change already having taken place, it feels like as good a time as any to take a look at where the Dodgers 40-man roster stands as of early January.
First, let’s look at who’s missing from last year’s team.
Gone
- Scott Alexander (DFA)
- Andy Burns (Outrighted)

- Albert Pujols (Free agent)
- Zach Reks (Traded)
- Max Scherzer (Signed 3-year deal with NYM)
- Corey Seager (Signed 10-year deal with TEX)
- Jimmy Sherfy (Outrighted)

Next, we’ll check out the additions so far this winter.
Additions

- Daniel Hudson (1 year deal)
- Jorbit Vivas (Rule 5 protection)
- James Outman (Rule 5 protection)
- Eddys Leonard (Rule 5 protection)
- Jacob Amaya (Rule 5 protection)
- Michael Grove (Rule 5 protection)
Altogether, here’s the 40-man roster as it stands today.
Pitchers
- Trevor Bauer
- Phil Bickford
- Justin Bruihl
- Walker Buehler
- Garrett Cleavinger
- Caleb Ferguson
- Tony Gonsolin
- Victor Gonzalez
- Brusdar Graterol
- Michael Grove
- Andrew Heaney
- Daniel Hudson
- Andre Jackson
- Tommy Kahnle
- Dustin May
- Darien Nunez
- Evan Phillips
- David Price
- Blake Treinen
- Julio Urias
- Alex Vesia
- Mitch White

- Will Smith
Infielders
- Jacob Amaya
- Matt Beaty
- Eddys Leonard
- Gavin Lux
- Max Muncy
- Edwin Rios
- Trea Turner

Will this be the final roster by opening day? Absolutely not. With the MLB lockout in place, transactions are, of course, frozen. Once teams can get back to work, it’s easy to assume the Dodgers try to add a starting pitcher or two before or into spring training.
Projected Rotation
- Walker Buehler
- Julio Urias
- Tony Gonsolin
- Andrew Heaney
- David Price
This very much changes depending on how the league and the team handle Trevor Bauer’s legal situation. He currently remains under investigation for allegations of sexual assault.
Projected Lineup
- Mookie Betts (RF)
- Max Muncy (1B)
- Trea Turner (SS)
- Will Smith (C)
- Justin Turner (3B)
- Cody Bellinger (CF)
- AJ Pollock (DH)
- Chris Taylor (LF)
- Gavin Lux (2B)
