Los Angeles Dodgers Executive Vice President and General Manager Brandon Gomes has overseen a flurry of 23 roster moves throughout the 2026 season, a testament to the team's commitment to adapting to changing circumstances.
The Dodgers have been aggressive in adding players to their roster, with 17 new players joining the team since the start of spring training. This includes the acquisition of Seth Halvorsen from the Rockies on July 20, as well as the signing of Charlie Barnes to a minor league deal on July 17. The team has also made several key trades, including the selection of Cole Irvin from Triple-A Oklahoma City on July 31.
Gomes has emphasized the importance of depth and flexibility in the team's roster. "We're always looking for ways to improve our team," he said. "Whether it's through trades, signings, or call-ups, we want to make sure we have the right players in the right situations."
The Dodgers' 40-man roster has seen a significant amount of turnover, with 14 players being optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City and 6 being designated for assignment. Despite this, the team has managed to maintain a strong level of performance, with a 92-54 record at the end of the regular season.
The team's pitching staff has been a key area of focus, with several key players being called up or optioned to the minors throughout the season. This includes the recall of Wyatt Mills from Triple-A Oklahoma City on June 30, as well as the activation of Edwin Díaz from the 60-day injured list on July 29.
The Dodgers will look to continue their strong performance in the postseason, with their first game of the National League Division Series scheduled for October 6.
