Voting for the 2025 National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot concluded on Tuesday, with Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner being voted in by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
There were eight former Los Angeles Dodgers on this ballot, but none received enough votes for induction. Of those eight players, five will remain on the ballot in 2026 after staying above the 5% threshold.
Andruw Jones did not make the cut in his eighth year on the BWAA ballot. He was the top vote getter among former Dodgers with 66.2% of the vote, which was an improvement on the 61.6% he had in 2024.
Jones spent just one season with the Dodgers despite signing a two-year, $36.2 million deal in 2007. He had the worst season of his career in 2008 and the Dodgers released him in the offseason.
Chase Utley received 39.8% of the vote in his second season on the ballot, besting his 2024 total of 28.8%. Among former Dodgers, it is the second highest vote total and the largest improvement in voting from year-to-year.
Utley finished out the final four seasons of his career with the Dodgers as a valued veteran and leader in the clubhouse. He had his best season in 2016 where he hit .252/.319/.396 with 26 doubles, 14 home runs, and 52 RBI.
Manny Ramírez received 34.3% of the vote in his ninth year on the ballot, it is an improvement from his 2024 total of 32.5%.
Ramírez had a short, but incredibly memorable career with the Dodgers from 2008-2010. He sparked a playoff push for the Dodgers in 2008 following his trade from the Boston Red Sox, and had one of the most impressive postseason performances of all time that same season.
Bobby Abreu did not make the cut in his sixth year on the ballot. With 19.5% of the vote in 2025, it was a slight improvement on his 2024 mark of 14.8% of the vote.
Abreu was not a part of the Dodgers organization for very long, spending a brief stint with the organization in 2012 after being released by the Los Angeles Angels. He spent most of his time with the Philadelphia Phillies where he was a two-time All-Star, won a Gold Glove award and Silver Slugger award.
Jimmy Rollins received 18% of the vote in his fourth season on the ballot, an improvement from the 14.8% he received in 2024.
Rollins was acquired by the Dodgers via trade in 2015 with the purpose of being a veteran presence for the clubhouse and as a stopgap until top prospect Corey Seager was ready to take over at shortstop.
There were three Dodgers who had their first year on the ballot in 2025, all three fell under the 5% threshold and as a result will not be on the ballot in 2026.
Of the trio, Russell Martin’s 2.3% of the vote was the highest total. He is the only homegrown player and longest tenured Dodgers player on this list.
A 17th round draft pick in 2002, Martin was a two-time All-Star with the Dodgers. He also won both the Gold Glove and Sliver Slugger at the catcher position in 2007.
Curtis Granderson received 0.8% of the vote on the 2025 ballot. He played in 36 games for the Dodgers in 2017 after being traded from the New York Mets.
Hanley Ramírez was one of three players that received zero votes on the 2025 ballot, joining Ben Zobrist and Fernando Rodney.
He spent parts of three seasons with the Dodgers from 2012-2014. He had an excellent 2013 season in limited action and was a key piece of the Dodgers playoff run before suffering a broken rib in the NL Championship Series.
Former Dodgers slugger Dick Allen elected to MLB Hall Of Fame
While no former Dodgers players were elected into the Hall of Fame via the BWAA ballot, there was one who made it through on the Classic Baseball Era ballot, slugger Dick Allen.
