Main Story

The Dodgers’ deep farm system could help keep their championship window open, with three prospects positioned to push for big-league opportunities in 2027. Outfielder Josue De Paula has the clearest path, while pitcher Jackson Ferris and outfielder Mike Sirota could also earn looks if they build on strong stretches or continue progressing.

By the Numbers
  • The Dodgers have reached the postseason in 14 consecutive seasons.
  • De Paula hit .323, reaching base in half of his plate appearances during his 11-game MLB debut.
  • Ferris posted a 1.00 ERA with 48 strikeouts over 36 innings in his final six Triple-A regular-season appearances.
  • Sirota hit .307/.461/.526 across three minor-league levels, with 28 doubles, 17 home runs and 3 triples.
Yes, But

De Paula’s bat is MLB-ready, but he’ll need to keep improving in the outfield to earn a regular role; Shohei Ohtani occupies the designated-hitter spot. Ferris’s full-season numbers were modest, and the bullpen may offer a more direct route to the majors. Sirota faces competition from outfielders already ahead of him at Triple-A.

What’s Next

Ferris is eligible for the Rule 5 Draft, making a spot on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster a key decision this offseason. The team will also evaluate De Paula’s defense and decide how quickly Sirota can advance toward a major-league role.

Bottom Line

The Dodgers’ prospects aren’t guaranteed solutions, but their development could give the club affordable reinforcements—and help sustain its run without relying solely on trades and free-agent signings.
