The Los Angeles Dodgers want some help for their outfield. They want to upgrade there pretty badly and might take a look at the free agent market for some help.

If Dodgers general manager Brendan Gomes and Dodgers management looks out there, then they might make a run at center fielder Harrison Bader.

Bader split time between the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies last season. Bader saw some action in the National League Division Series between the Dodgers and Phillies, so Los Angeles has an idea of what he can bring to the team.

In looking at the top 50 free agents available on the market, The Athletic indicated that the Dodgers are one of three teams, along with the Phillies and Cleveland Guardians, that just might make a run at acquiring Bader's services.

The article projects that Bader will want a two-year, $32 million deal from any one of those three teams.

"Following three straight seasons with an OPS below .660, Bader settled for a one-year, $6.25 million deal last offseason, and then had a career-year at age 31, batting .277/.347/.449 with 17 homers for the Twins and Phillies," according to The Athletic article.

"Despite losing some raw speed, he can still handle center field and be an elite left fielder, making Bader one of the best defensive free agents available," the article continues.

"He’ll likely be in line for a multiyear deal this time, although skepticism about his offensive improvement is warranted given an uptick in strikeouts and the lack of substantial changes to his plate discipline or batted-ball metrics," according to The Athletic.

In a nine-year MLB career, Bader has played for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, Twins, and Phillies. He has a career slash line of .247/.313/.401 with 88 career home runs and 322 career RBIs.

Bader hit 12 home runs with the Twins last season before adding five more during his time with Philadelphia.

Now, Bader could possibly get a new deal from the Phillies and simply choose to stay and play at Citizens Bank Park in front of those rowdy Phillies fans. He won a Gold Glove in his final season with the Cardinals back in 2021, when he played in 103 games for St. Louis.

That alone might be a solid sign for the Dodgers to take a run at Bader. Any help on the defensive side when it comes to outfield play would be greatly appreciated by the Dodgers and their fans, too.

Look for the Dodgers to have a conversation with Bader at some point, either during or after the upcoming Winter Meetings.
