US EditionDodgers DFA Tony Gonsolin, waive Justin Dean and Michael Grove
The Dodgers made offseason roster moves including designating injured All-Star pitcher Tony Gonsolin and waiving two players while adding two others to the 40-man roster.
- On Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers designated right-handed starter Tony Gonsolin for assignment and waived outfielder Justin Dean and right-handed pitcher Michael Grove to set their 40-man roster.
- Tony Gonsolin, a former All-Star, endured multiple major elbow procedures and made seven starts before an August surgery; he was in his final year of arbitration eligibility under contract through 2026.
- Michael Grove had worked as a swingman over parts of three seasons, compiling a 7-7 record with a 5.48 ERA for the Dodgers, while Justin Dean, a postseason defensive replacement, was claimed by the San Francisco Giants.
- The moves cement 40-man spots as the Los Angeles Dodgers head into the hot stove with a stacked rotation and a largely set lineup aside from one outfield vacancy.
- Looking toward the hot stove, Gonsolin underwent a Tommy John revision, and recent ERAs of 4.98 and 5.00 raise concerns; Dodgers target back-end relievers.
