Dodgers Interested In Jonathan Loaisiga, Tim Hill ...Middle East

MLBtraderumors - News

Right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga and left-hander Tim Hill are two of the relievers on the Dodgers’ radar, according to (respectively) ESPN’s Jesse Rogers and the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.  Rogers notes that Loaisiga is “getting closer” to landing a deal, so a signing might come sooner rather than later.

Beyond Los Angeles, Loaisiga and Hill have also each drawn interest from the Yankees (their mutual former team) and Mets.  The Blue Jays have been linked to Loaisiga as well, and Rogers suggests that at least one other team is also in on the right-hander.  The Guardians, Giants, and Cardinals have all been linked to Hill in previous reports.

    For Loaisiga in particular, this healthy market is a terrific outcome for a pitcher who had to settle for a minor league deal with the Diamondbacks last winter.  The righty had shown flashes of being an elite relief arm during his eight seasons with the Yankees, yet injuries continually kept Loaisiga on the sidelines.  New York declined a $5MM club option on Loaisiga after the 2025 season, and he was both healthy and very effective in delivering a 2.42 ERA over 67 innings out of Arizona’s pen in 2026.

    While Loaisiga doesn’t rack up many strikeouts, he induces a ton of grounders and a lot of soft contact, plus he has a strong 6.3% walk rate in 260 innings since the start of the 2020 season.  MLB Trade Rumors ranked Loaisiga 45th on our top 50 free agents list and projected a two-year, $13MM contract, making him a potential bargain for a lot of teams provided the 32-year-old can again avoid the injury bug.

    Now entering his age-37 season, Hill has a similar resume as a grounder-heavy control pitcher who rarely records strikeouts.  Hill has continued to dominate left-handed batters but righties hit him pretty well, and a big spike in his home run totals led to Hill’s 4.60 ERA over 58 2/3 innings for the Yankees last season.  Hill is the type of reliever who would’ve held more appeal prior to the introduction of the three-batter rule, but the veteran is still a logical target for clubs in need of left-handed bullpen help.

    The Dodgers have hopes of re-signing Alex Vesia, and Tanner Scott, Justin Wrobleski, and Jack Dreyer are among the left-handed bullpen options remaining on the L.A. roster.  Still, Hill would further bolster this group, and it’s not hard to imagine the Dodgers adding both Hill and Loaisiga as part of their goal of amassing pitching for another extended playoff run.  The right-handed side of the Los Angeles pen took a hit when Evan Phillips signed with the Braves, perhaps increasing the Dodgers’ interest in Loaisiga.
