According to Rosenthal and Sammon, he is seeking a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>Seven players from the Dodgers\u2019 2024 roster are now free agents, including three starting pitchers: Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler, and Jack Flaherty. While Kershaw\u2019s return to Los Angeles is already assured, Japanese free agent Roki Sasaki was officially posted Tuesday morning, and Blake Snell was added to the rotation, meaning either Flaherty or Buehler could be the odd man out.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers opted not to extend a qualifying offer to Buehler allowing him to become a free agent for the first time in his professional career. However, the team is still interested in bringing him back.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dodgers President Talks Dodgers Offseason Plan, Using Deferrals, Blake Snell Signing &amp; More!\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XceYkxkShIc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman met with members of the media when Snell was introduced at Dodger Stadium and had the following to say about the club\u2019s free agents which include three starting pitchers:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve had different conversations with our own guys.
