On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we usher in the official start of the MLB offseason.

Seven Dodgers became free agents on November 2, the morning after the World Series, including Kiké Hernández, Miguel Rojas, and a retiring Clayton Kershaw.

Max Muncy ($10 million) and Alex Vesia ($3.65 million) had their club options exercised by the Dodgers. Tony Gonsolin was designated for assignment as he recovers from his second major elbow surgery.

First baseman/outfielder Ryan Ward and left-handed pitcher Robinson Ortiz were added to the 40-man roster before they could become minor league free agents. Justin Dean, the late-inning defensive specialist who played 13 postseason games for the Dodgers but did not bat, was claimed off waivers by the Giants. Michael Grove, who missed all of 2025 after shoulder surgery, was also sent outright to the minors, off the 40-man roster.

The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore.
