REPORT!! Former Dodgers make strides in Hall of Fame voting…

Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner are set to be enshrined among the legends of the game in Cooperstown, N.Y., as their election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame was announced Tuesday on MLB Network.

The Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot featured eight players who had previously spent time with the Dodgers, but none of them got the requisite 75% of the vote.

Of those eight, Bobby Abreu, Andruw Jones, Manny Ramirez, Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley all received enough votes to remain on the ballot for further consideration.

Curtis Granderson, Russell Martin and Hanley Ramirez did not reach the 5% threshold and fell off the ballot.

The 2025 Hall of Fame class also includes Dave Parker and Dick Allen, who were voted in by the Classic Baseball Era Committee at the onset of the Winter Meetings in December.

Allen spent one of his 15 Major League seasons with the Dodgers, leading the team with 5.4 bWAR in 1971.

Most of the former Dodgers on this year’s ballot came to Los Angeles late in their careers.

Martin is the exception, as the backstop who was drafted as a 17th-rounder by the Dodgers in 2002 began and ended his big league career with L.A. (2006-10, ’19), with other stops in between.

Jones (66.2%) and Utley (39.8%) were the highest finishers among former Dodgers, and both had more notable tenures elsewhere.

After spending his first 12 seasons with Atlanta, Jones spent 2008 with L.A. and posted a .505 OPS in 75 games. Utley closed out his career with the Dodgers, his hometown team, after being traded from the Phillies midway through ’15.

Utley’s most productive years came with Philadelphia, where he was a 2008 World Series champion and accrued 62 bWAR, compared with the 2.5 bWAR he netted with L.A. from 2015-18.

He made a noteworthy jump in his second year on the ballot, up from his 28.8% debut in 2024, which gives him a solid chance at being elected in his remaining years of eligibility.

Manny Ramirez (34.3%), Abreu (19.5%) and Rollins (18%) didn’t make substantial progress from this year to last. Ramirez, who sparked “Mannywood” when he was traded to the Dodgers in 2008 before a PED suspension the following year tarnished his time in L.A., will be on the ballot for the 10th and final time in 2026.

Martin (2.3%), Granderson (0.8%) and Hanley Ramirez (0%) all did not receive enough support to remain on the ballot beyond their first year of eligibility.

The most recent former Dodger to be inducted into the Hall of Fame was Adrian Beltré, who began his illustrious career with seven seasons in Los Angeles and entered Cooperstown as a Texas Ranger.

In 2026, former Dodger Matt Kemp will be eligible for the BBWAA ballot for the first time. Kemp, who signed a one-day contract to retire with L.A. in ’24, hasn’t played since ’20.
