Dodgers free agent gets new look for offseason as future in LA remains uncertain

Alex Vesia has shaved off his long beard during the offseason, prompting speculation among Dodgers fans as the free-agent reliever’s future in Los Angeles remains uncertain. He has spent six seasons with the team and previously acknowledged that 2026 might be his final season there.

Vesia, a left-handed reliever, recorded a 2.64 ERA in 72 appearances this season and was one of eight Dodgers players to reach free agency. Blake Treinen and Evan Phillips are also among the team’s bullpen free agents, while Vesia ranks behind Tarik Skubal among the Dodgers’ free agents in the article’s assessment.
