Considering his position on the roster, Kiké Hernandez is likely to re-sign with the Dodgers. He can play multiple positions and is content with limited playing time, stepping in whenever needed.

He made some key plays in the World Series, including his game-ending double play in Game 6. If he wants to keep playing, the Dodgers will likely keep him around as long as he hits decently.

Miguel Rojas has said that he wants to play one more season for the Dodgers before retiring. Similar to Hernandez, the infielder should get a chance to be on the team next year, especially after his game-saving home run in Game 7.

Clayton Kershaw is retiring, so he won't be on the team next year. His legendary career will come to an end as he plans to spend time with his family.

Michael Conforto is likely leaving the Dodgers after he failed to make the postseason roster at every stop. He had a terrible regular season, hitting and fielding well below replacement level.

The Dodgers will likely look for other outfielder solutions.

Michael Kopech was a hero out of the bullpen during the 2024 World Series, but he failed to make the postseason roster. He battled through injuries and appeared to be affected by their high usage during the 2024 postseason run.

Kopech is likely to return because of his lively stuff. If he can regain control of his command and limit walks, he could become a key part of the bullpen again.

At the age of 38, relief pitcher Kirby Yates is likely past his best and the Dodgers will look elsewhere for bullpen help.

Andrew Heaney signed a minor league contract in September, but he only made one appearance for the major league team. He probably won't return unless it's on a non-guaranteed spring training deal.
