Report: Dodgers showing interest in Rays' Arozarena
The Los Angeles Dodgers are showing interest in Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
After a frigid start to the season, Arozarena has turned things around at the plate. He registered a .357 OPS in April before bumping it up to .699 in May, .892 in June, and .917 so far in July.
The 29-year-old has 15 home runs, 35 RBIs, and 15 stolen bases in 98 games for the Rays this season. He's arbitration-eligible for another two seasons and is scheduled to hit free agency after the 2026 campaign.
Dodgers fans are familiar with Arozarena after Los Angeles' 2020 World Series matchup with Tampa Bay. The one-time All-Star hit three home runs in six games in the Fall Classic as part of his record-breaking 10 long balls in those playoffs.
Arozarena is a career .256 hitter with 86 home runs, 289 RBIs, and 95 RBIs over parts of six MLB seasons.
