Dodgers eye blockbuster trade for Buxton, Ryan to boost 2026 roster

The Dodgers are considering a blockbuster trade for Twins' Byron Buxton and pitcher Joe Ryan, a $106M duo, to shore up their roster for a 2026 World Series run.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to add a $106 million duo to their roster for the 2026 season. Reports say the team may trade for Twins outfielder Byron Buxton and pitcher Joe Ryan, both of whom could provide a boost to the Dodgers’ outfield and starting rotation.

Buxton, a Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner, has expressed frustration with the Twins’ front‑office uncertainty, while Ryan is emerging as a top starting pitcher in the American League. The trade would give the Dodgers a stronger bullpen and a more reliable outfield ahead of a championship push.
