After acquiring Jack Flaherty, arguably the top starter available at last year's deadline, the Dodgers will have their sights set on the starting pitching market again in 2025, barring a sudden return of three starters at once from the injured list.

Veteran right-handed pitcher Chris Stratton, who was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this week, has cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City. However, Stratton has rejected his outright assignment, instead electing to enter free agency.

With their injury-plagued rotation threatening their championship chances, the Los Angeles Dodgers should consider reuniting with a two-time World Series champion.
