Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
The Dodgers open their Cactus League schedule this weekend with a pair of road games — Saturday against the Angels in Tempe, and Sunday vs. the Padres in Peoria. Shohei Ohtani will be in the lineup for each of the first two games, manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Wednesday at Camelback Ranch. Additionally, Yoshinobu […]
We are nearly at the point where we get to watch the Dodgers play actual games, with the exhibition slate starting this Saturday. Timelines over the last week-plus have been inundated with the sights and sounds from spring training, from backfield workouts to clubhouse speeches. The Dodgers already brought back two of the players most […]
The Galactic Empire of baseball has assembled at Camelback Ranch. Their first spring game is in just three days. The anticipation and excitement surrounding the start of the 2026 season is brewing. On Tuesday, both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani faced live hitters, and the latter’s arm will be preserved during the World Baseball Classic […]
In addition to announcing its spring training broadcast schedule, SportsNet LA on Tuesday announced the bulk of its broadcast plans for the regular season in 2026. With the Dodgers’ opening day battle against the Arizona Diamondbacks exclusively televised by NBC and streamed on Peacock, the first regular season game for SportsNet LA will be Friday, […]
The Dodgers lineup is formidable and deep, but is also aging. Kyle Tucker was the final piece of the puzzle added this offseason, notable both for his production (and contract, of course) and that he gives Los Angeles another hitter in his 20s, at least for 2026. The only other Dodgers regular on the right […]
With confirmation on Monday from manager Dave Roberts that Tommy Edman will begin the season on the injured list, naturally conversation turned to what is now an open competition in Dodgers camp for playing time at second base. Miguel Rojas will be in the mix, as will veteran Santiago Espinal, who signed a minor league […]
FanGraphs on Monday put out its top prospects in baseball, with five Dodgers ranked in the top 110 entering the 2026. Eric Longenhagen, Brendan Gawlowski, and James Fegan wrote up the prospects, a list that was expanded from 100 to 110 to account for the prospects with a Future Value rating of 50 (on the […]
Three days ago, ESPN published a tongue-in-cheek article called “Why Your Team Didn’t Do What You Wanted This Winter.” In a spectrum that ran Dodgers-to-Rockies, the Mariners were thankfully much closer to the Dodgers side of things, but Bradford Doolittle, the author, did question why the Mariners didn’t get another lefty bullpen arm to help […]
The locker room at Camelback Ranch is quite spacious, but the Dodgers are testing its capacity this spring training. The latest addition is infielder Santiago Espinal, who was signed to a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, per the various beat reporters on site in Arizona. Espinal makes 34 Dodgers non-roster […]
After a busy Dodgers offseason, we have a pretty idea of what their roster will eventually look like. But the active roster over the 186 days of a major league regular season is an ever-changing organism. The Dodgers last year used 62 players, for instance, including 40 pitchers, both the most in franchise history. If […]
If this article is your first time hearing of Julian Fernández, I can’t blame you. The 30-year-old right-handed reliever was acquired in August off waivers from the Dodgers, and in 12.2 innings pitched with the Rochester Red Wings, he posted a 7.82 ERA and 5.47 FIP. He made his Nationals debut at the end of […]
After digesting that Ben Rortvedt will now join fellow former Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes, a non-roster invitee, in New York Mets spring training camp, here are more baseball stories to begin your week. Roki Sasaki faced hitters, including Hyeseong Kim, on Sunday at Camelback Ranch, as he begins building toward his second year in the […]
The itinerant offseason of Ben Rortvedt continued on Sunday, as the catcher was claimed off waivers by the Mets, and a case of unfortunate timing for the Dodgers. After September injuries to both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers liked trade deadline acquisition Rortvedt enough to start him 19 times in 25 games down […]
The Dodgers are in rarefied air in their long franchise history going into 2026, having won consecutive championships for the first time. What’s next on the checklist is trying to become the fifth MLB team to win at least three World Series in a row. MLB teams winning 3+ championships in a row The Yankees […]
Russell “Le Muscle” Martin is one of the greatest Canadian major leaguers of all-time. Breaking into The Show with the Dodgers in 2006, Martin came to the Yankees in December 2010, succeeding franchise icon Jorge Posada behind the plate. Martin played two solid seasons in the Bronx behind the plate before signing with Pittsburgh, where […]
It’s here! It’s finally here! The Dodgers will be playing baseball in less than a week’s time. As the team begins to regroup at Camelback Ranch, old faces and new alike make their way into the clubhouse, and among the new faces to the Dodgers is Edwin Díaz. Díaz was the first major signing this […]
It’s Valentine’s Day today, so I hope you will all spend your Saturday thinking about Bobby Valentine, who played for the Dodgers from 1969-72, or maybe 2005 third baseman and shortstop José Valentín, or perhaps Tom Lovett, a pitcher for Brooklyn in the 19th century. Or maybe Sandy Amorós can get you in the mood […]
Alex Vesia threw a bullpen session as did many other Dodgers pitchers on the first official day of workouts at Camelback Ranch in Arizona. Then the veteran left-hander spoke to reporters en masse for the first time since the death of his newborn daughter Sterling in October. Vesia read a prepared statement for six minutes […]
Max Muncy is one of the great success stories in Dodgers history. Signed to a minor league contract at age 26 after a pair of underwhelming seasons with the Oakland A’s, Muncy has been a productive member of a team that has won four pennants and three championships during his first eight years in Los […]
Clayton Kershaw, like the Dodgers team as a whole, took a step back in 2018, although they were both still good enough to accomplish similar goals. Kershaw delivered another sub-3.00 ERA, and the Dodgers saw their most difficult division title of this whole Andrew Friedman era come to pass, needing a Game 163 at home […]
The Dodgers didn’t do much at all to add to their starting rotation this offseason, and they didn’t need to. Boasting one of the most dominant pitching staffs in not just their own division, but all of baseball, the Dodgers enter the 2026 season with a plethora of rotational options. The quartet of All-Stars is […]
On a busy transactional day that saw the Dodgers bring back utility man Kiké Hernández and extend third baseman Max Muncy, they also have signed infielder Keston Hiura to a minor league contract, per multiple reports. Hiura will receive a non-roster invitation to big league camp, per both Jon Heyman of the New York Post […]
With the 2025 season now concluded, we’ll keep track of every transaction by the Dodgers for the entire offseason here, beginning with the advent of free agency on November 2 until the start of spring training. We will update this page throughout the offseason with every transaction, and links below to specific details about every […]
The Twins have acquired left-handed reliever Anthony Banda from the Dodgers in exchange for international bonus pool space. Banda was designated for assignment by the Dodgers earlier this week, essentially meaning the Twins gave the Dodgers a bit of cash to jump the waiver line. RHP Jackson Kowar, picked up off the waiver wire last […]
The Dodgers found a new home for Anthony Banda, trading the veteran left-handed reliever to the Minnesota Twins on Thursday for international bonus pool space, the teams announced. The amount of bonus pool space traded is reportedly $500,000, per Francys Romero. By rule, teams can trade space in increments of $250,000 unless trading the entirety […]
