Seasons

The 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers season will be the 132nd season for the franchise in Major League Baseball, their 64th season in Los Angeles, California, and their 59th season playing their home games at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers will be coming into the 2021 season as defending 2020 World Series Champions and will attempt to repeat as champions and win their 9th straight NL West Division title.

Offseason

Broadcasting team

Alanna Rizzo, who had been part of the Dodgers studio broadcast crew for seven seasons, announced that she was going to leave her position with the team. Jorge Jarrín also resigned from his role on the Dodgers Spanish language broadcast team.

Coaching staff

Dodgers first base coach George Lombard departed the team on November 7, as he was hired to be the new bench coach for the Detroit Tigers. He was replaced by Clayton McCullough.

Roster departures

On October 28, 2020, after the conclusion of the World Series, seven Dodgers players became free agents: Third Baseman Justin Turner, Outfielder Joc Pederson, utility player Kiké Hernández, and pitchers Pedro Báez, Jake McGee, Blake Treinen, and Alex Wood. A couple of days later, the Dodgers declined the 2021 option on pitcher Jimmy Nelson's contract, making him a free agent. Outfielder and pinch runner Terrance Gore was outrighted to the minors and removed from the Dodgers roster on October 31.

Roster additions

On December 2, the Dodgers acquired relief pitcher Corey Knebel from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. On December 29, the Dodgers acquired pitcher Garrett Cleavinger from the Philadelphia Phillies as part of a three-team trade that sent José Alvarado to the Phillies and minor leaguer Dillon Paulson and a player to be named later to the Tampa Bay Rays. Also on the same day, they signed pitcher Tommy Kahnle to a two-year contract. On January 5, the Dodgers re-signed pitcher Blake Treinen to a two-year contract.
