Three-Time Gold Glove Winner Mauricio Dubon Among 2 Free Agents Dodgers Show Interest in to Replace Miguel Rojas

Dodgers seek infield versatility
Los Angeles is looking for middle-infield help this offseason after Miguel Rojas retired. The team could bring back free-agent utility player Kiké Hernandez, but is also considering younger players it can rely on through a full regular season.
Adding a second baseman could let Tommy Edman take on a larger super-utility role. The Athletic’s Fabian Ardaya reported that the Dodgers have shown interest in two free agents: Mauricio Dubon and Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
Dubon brings strong 2026 season
Dubon, 32, had career highs in home runs, RBIs, stolen bases and hits during his 2026 season with the Atlanta Braves. He hit .276 with a .321 on-base percentage, a .399 slugging percentage and a .719 OPS.
He played left field, center field, third base, shortstop and second base. Dubon ranked in the 91st percentile with six Outs Above Average and has won three Gold Gloves.
Ardaya reported that Dubon’s market could exceed the Dodgers’ preferred price range after his season in Atlanta. If he is within reach, his defensive ability, versatility and bat could make him an option.
Kiner-Falefa offers depth
Kiner-Falefa, 31, has been a Dodgers target before but has not joined the team. He appeared in 66 games for the Boston Red Sox in 2026, batting .242 with two home runs, 16 RBIs and a .633 OPS.
He played third base, shortstop and second base, and was described as an elite defender during his limited time in the field. He has won one Gold Glove.
Ardaya said Kiner-Falefa is not expected to cost as much as Dubon and could offer stability after Rojas’ departure. Kiner-Falefa would likely fill a utility bench role, while Dubon could receive more starts after his strong season.
Key points
- The Dodgers are exploring middle-infield options after Miguel Rojas retired.
- Mauricio Dubon and Isiah Kiner-Falefa are among the free agents drawing interest.
- Dubon had career highs in four offensive categories with Atlanta in 2026.
- Kiner-Falefa could provide a less expensive utility option.
