Homecoming: The Tokyo Series Documentary
If it is not obvious, the Dodgers and the United States are merely borrowing Shohei Ohtani, as most recently evidenced by Ohtani’s recent batting practice session at the Tokyo Dome in preparation for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. With that in mind, in November 2025, MLB announced a documentary film about the 2025 Tokyo Series, […]

Dodgers notes: Santiago Espinal, Alex Freeland, Blake Treinen
Three years ago, the Dodgers took a chance on outfielder Jason Heyward after a disappointing finish to his seven-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs. Although signed to a minor-league deal, Heyward eventually broke camp, had a bounce back season in 2023 and was able to prolong his career for another two years afterwards. Now, the […]
Santiago Espinal is cementing his place on the Dodgers roster
Process, process, process—the results of a spring training game matter most when they validate certain processes and reinforce an idea. The Dodgers scored a boatload of runs in a 14- 13 walk-off loss against the Reds; one of their expected regulars, Max Muncy, went yard, but what mattered more than anything else was the validation […]

Dodgers notes: Who rounds out the rotation, Dalton Rushing’s future
One thing that has been a constant for the last few seasons is how deep the Dodgers’ pitching staff is to start Spring Training.
