It’s been a slow week since for the Dodgers since their signing of Edwin Díaz, and although their names have been attached to marquee outfield names, they have yet to pull the trigger. While the Dodgers have been linked to players such as Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, they have also been in the mix […]
Potentially, no reliever in the entire sport saw a larger dropoff in performance from their 2024 to 2025 production than the veteran Kirby Yates, perfectly encapsulating a trying year for a Dodger bullpen that failed to live up to expectations. Signed to a very lucrative one-year deal following a magnificent campaign with the Texas Rangers, […]

Edwin Díaz was facing the Dodgers as the star closer for the New York Mets during the 2024 NLCS. Just over a year later, and Díaz is the newest face of the Dodgers’ bullpen as their star closer. The race for Díaz ultimately came down to three teams; the Dodgers offered Díaz a three-year deal […]

For the second straight year, the ‘Autumn Glory’ display will celebrate the Dodgers. After the Dodgers won the World Series in Toronto […]
Twelve months ago, Blake Treinen was a folk hero, as the lanky and taciturn, salt-of-the-earth reliever who bent but never broke getting critical outs as the Dodgers vanquished the New York Yankees with aplomb, earning himself both a bobblehead night on August 17, 2025, and a new two-year contract. With new addition-Tanner Scott to man […]
A few Dodgers items of interest to start your Tuesday morning. First up is an interview Kiké Hernández had with David Vassegh of AM 570 on Saturday. Hernández is a free agent, but note how often he refers to the Dodgers as “we” in this clip, which recounts Hernández’s conversation with fellow Puerto Rican Edwin […]

When looking back on the 2025 season of Michael Conforto with hindsight, one realizes that the Dodgers were using Conforto to answer a question that was quickly rendered moot: what do the Dodgers do if Teoscar Hernandez decides to sign with Toronto or elsewhere? Unlike the 2021-signing of Trevor Bauer or the 2025-signings of Tanner […]
Braves Franchise History 1948 – The Dodgers trade Pete Reiser to the Braves for outfielder Myron McCormick. The marvelously talented but reckless Reiser crashed into too many outfield walls and, according to Red Smith, was carried off on a stretcher 11 times. 1960 – The Braves acquire shortstop Roy McMillan and a player to be […]

From Dodger killer turned Dodger, the 2021 NLCS MVP Eddie Rosario appeared in just two games with the Dodgers at the big league level in April before bouncing around between the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers minor league systems. Rosario was coming off a disappointing 2024 season where he spent time between the Washington Nationals […]
Tarik Skubal has been the talk of the town regarding star players on the trade block, and the Dodgers are certainly in the mix for his services. Should they succeed at luring him in, they would undoubtedly sport the greatest five-man starting rotation in the game. Such a trade would require the Dodgers to send […]
Running a baseball team is very much so a numbers game, and even the most successful of organizations will miss on a few acquisitions throughout the course of the year, particularly those on the fringes of your 40-man roster, short-term replacements who might evolve into something bigger. For the Dodgers in 2025, one of these […]
Luken Baker spent four days on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster in August and played the final two months of the season in Triple-A Oklahoma City.
