The Los Angeles Dodgers' most discussed storyline this offseason is their pursuit of a reunion with Tarik Skubal. The Dodgers are also seeking bullpen help, however, especially with Evan Phillips recently signing with the Atlanta Braves. According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, LA is among five known suitors for former New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Jonathan Loaisiga.

“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,” Rogers reported.

The Yankees have also been mentioned as a suitor for the veteran reliever. It would not be surprising to see more than five teams attempt to sign Loaisiga. He has become one of the better relievers in baseball.

The 32-year-old pitched for the Yankees from 2018-2025 before spending 2026 with the Diamondbacks. Loaisiga endured ups and downs during his time with the Yankees, but he certainly displayed promise. In 2021, the right-handed reliever turned in a sparkling 2.17 ERA across 57 outings. He found his rhythm in 2026 once again with the D'Backs, turning in a 2.42 ERA in 67 appearances.

The Dodgers are going to have no shortage of competition in their rumored pursuit of the reliever. It remains to be seen if Loaisiga has interest in joining Los Angeles. He does have experience with the National League West after pitching for Arizona this past season, so that could benefit the Dodgers. With that being said, the Yankees and other suitors cannot be counted out as Jonathan Loaisiga's free agency heats up.
