With Spring Training just six weeks away, most front offices around Major League Baseball are beginning to slow their engines, shifting focus from blockbuster dreams to roster fine-tuning. The Los Angeles Dodgers, however, appear to be operating on an entirely different timeline — and possibly a different level altogether.
According to MLB insider Mark Feinsand, the Dodgers remain firmly in the mix for BOTH Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, two of the most impactful and polarizing names still connected to offseason speculation. In a winter already defined by aggressive ambition, this revelation sends a clear message to the rest of the league: Los Angeles may not be done yet. Not even close.
The Dodgers are already the two-time defending World Series champions, a modern powerhouse with depth, star power, and an ownership group unafraid of bold financial commitments. Logic would suggest stability. History suggests patience.
Yet Feinsand’s report hints at something far more dangerous for the rest of baseball — a team chasing a three-peat while still hunting elite talent.
“The Dodgers are also lurking as a possibility for Tucker,” Feinsand noted, adding that such a move would make the reigning champions “even more dangerous as they take aim at a threepeat.” That word — lurking — is doing heavy lifting. It implies silence, calculation, and timing. The kind that precedes chaos.
Kyle Tucker represents the ideal modern superstar: elite power, disciplined plate approach, strong defense, and postseason credibility. At his peak, Tucker doesn’t just lengthen a lineup — he reshapes it.
For the Dodgers, adding Tucker would signal a ruthless commitment to dominance. It would mean refusing to let rivals catch up. It would mean betting on sustained excellence rather than nostalgia or comfort.
And perhaps most importantly, it would mean weaponizing an already terrifying offense ahead of a season where expectations are nothing short of historic.
Then there is Cody Bellinger, the name that refuses to fade quietly into the offseason. Once a cornerstone in Los Angeles, Bellinger’s story is layered with MVP heights, painful regression, and a departure that felt unfinished.
Feinsand reports that the Mets have been most frequently linked to Bellinger, especially after trading Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil. The need is obvious. The fit is clean.
But the twist lies here: the Dodgers remain in the mix.
Alongside the Angels and Blue Jays, Los Angeles continues to hover — a possibility that carries emotional weight and strategic intrigue. A reunion would not simply be a baseball decision. It would be a statement about belief, redemption, and unfinished business.
Would the Dodgers dare to bring Bellinger back into the fold while chasing history?
One Splash… or Two?
The most unsettling question for the rest of MLB is not whether the Dodgers can land one of these players — it’s whether they might attempt something even bigger.
Could LA make another massive splash before pitchers and catchers report? Could they target Tucker as the future while keeping Bellinger as a flexible, high-upside gamble? Or is this calculated smoke designed to keep rivals guessing?
The Dodgers have mastered the art of leverage. Silence. Timing. When they move, it’s often decisive — and disruptive.
It’s a new year. New budgets. New hopes across baseball.
But in Los Angeles, the message feels eerily familiar: don’t relax just because the calendar turned.
As Spring Training approaches, the Dodgers remain the league’s great unanswered question. Quiet, patient, and armed with options, they sit in the background of every major rumor — waiting.
If history has taught the baseball world anything, it’s this: when the Dodgers are “lurking,” something big usually follows.
And if they strike again, the road to October may already be tilting sharply — and unfairly — toward Chavez Ravine. 👀
