Los Angeles — Just days after celebrating their World Series title, the Dodgers are preparing for an unprecedented move: according to new analysis, the team could spend as much as $460 million to bring in a star free agent — to pair with Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages, creating the most powerful super‑outfield in MLB.
Sources close to the sports office say Dodgers management believes that if they want to retain their throne and go further next season, they can’t just stop at defending their current success. “We need to be more explosive,” an inside scout admitted. “And the outfield — with its powerful attack + defense + speed — will have to be upgraded across the board.”
With Teoscar under contract and Andy Pages continuing to improve — 2025 recorded stable offensive performance, flexible defense as well as outfield chemistry — adding a quality free agent star would turn this trio into a real monster, enough to scare every team in the NL West and MLB.
The Dodgers are willing to spend a lot because they realize that despite winning the World Series, the current lineup still has gaps to fill: the offense sometimes lacks consistent “explosiveness”, the outfield defense needs more experience and depth, while the pressure to maintain the title makes the management determined to make a comprehensive upgrade.
With the budget room and the ambition to defend the throne, the Dodgers see adding a quality free agent star to the outfield trio Teoscar Hernández – Andy Pages as a necessary gamble to turn the team into an invincible candidate, ready to dominate both the NL West and MLB next season.
Spending $460 million on a star free agent means immense pressure:
The pressure from fans and media is higher than ever. A bad season or injury could see the deal “evaporate”.
The combination of three heavyweight outfield stars can create powerful offensive leverage, but can also cause “too many swings, too many misses” — a decline in performance if the pressure is not balanced.
The big spending will swell the payroll budget, impact the deployment of secondary forces, bullpen, and young player development.
If the contract is signed, the Dodgers will have an outfield of Teoscar – Pages – rookies — with a blend of power, speed, defense, and depth that few teams have.
In that scenario, the Dodgers will not only defend their throne, but also create a new dynasty — dominating both the NL West and MLB for years to come. With a lineup like that, a strong pitching staff, and a track record like this, no one dares underestimate them.
The Dodgers’ 2025‑26 offseason is turning into a life-or-death game. A big hit—to turn an already strong roster into a force to be reckoned with—or a misstep that could dent the organization’s reputation and budget.
If you’re a Dodgers fan—prepare to celebrate. If you’re a rival—worry. Because if the deal goes through—LA will no longer be a good team. They will be a phenomenon.
