*This is a prediction*
While the Los Angeles Dodgers have a stacked roster, they have a serious need at their left-fielder spot, and if they strikeout in free agency, they need to call the Milwaukee Brewers for Christian Yelich.
The Dodgers are the powerhouse of the MLB after winning a 2nd straight World Series with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and company, but the offseason is where they make the magic happen.
In 2025 he had his best season since 2019, hitting 29 home runs which was his most since his 44 in 2019 and his 103 RBI’s were his 2nd most in his career.
The Los Angeles Dodgers should aggressively pursue a trade for Christian Yelich, as he would immediately solve their lingering problem in left field after last season’s disappointing free agent signing of Michael Conforto.
Here’s why a Christian Yelich trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers makes a ton of sense.

Milwaukee Brewers Trade Christian Yelich to Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been rumored to be in the Kyle Tucker and Tarik Skubal market, but let’s discuss why Yelich should be a legit candidate for the Dodgers.
The Dodgers entered 2025 expecting Conforto to provide stability, power, and veteran reliability, but the move never paid off. Conforto struggled with inconsistency, injuries, and long slumps that left the lineup imbalanced, forcing the team to patch together solutions in left field far too often.
For a franchise with championship expectations every season, that level of uncertainty cannot continue.
Christian Yelich is the perfect answer. Even if he is not the MVP player he once was, Yelich has reestablished himself as one of the most productive and well rounded outfielders in the National League.
His ability to hit for average, draw walks, and impact games with situational hitting fits perfectly with the Dodgers offensive philosophy.
Yelich remains a reliable on base presence and still offers enough power to punish mistakes, giving the Dodgers another left handed threat capable of lengthening the lineup behind stars like Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman.
Defensively, Yelich brings stability the Dodgers lacked with Conforto. He is an above average left fielder with strong instincts, good reads, and the versatility to play both corner outfield spots if needed. His athleticism also holds up well, making him a dependable everyday option who will not require constant substitutions or platoons.
