Having lost out on the three most sought-after free agent starting pitchers in the week preceding the 2015 MLB Winter Meetings, the Dodgers wasted little time making up for what many perceive as lost ground and missed opportunities late Sunday evening and early Monday morning. Although nothing is final yet and physicals are still pending, here’s what Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman […]

What letter grade would you give Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi after their first full year on the job? Feel free to comment below, if so inclined.    

There’s quite a stir going on about the Zack Greinke news. Enough to write a flurry of articles. The whole thing is understandable. Dodger fans have been waiting since the final out of game five of the NLDS to find out if their second ace in the rotation would show some loyalty to the organization […]

It’s one of those songs that once you hear it you never forget it – not ever. It’s Seasons of Love from the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Rent and the first few lyrics are: 525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear. 525,600 minutes, How do you measure, measure a year?

Although there has been no formal announcement yet, it was widely reported on Wednesday that the Dodgers have named former Mets bench coach […]

When free agent right-hander Jordan Zimmermann signed with the Detroit Tigers this past Monday, we reported here on ThinkBlueLA that it would undoubtedly opened the flood gates for teams pursuing the remaining top three starting pitchers on this year’s free agent market. It also officially started the clock for the Dodgers if they were to have […]

Remember all those rumors we heard about how Dodgers managerial candidate Dave Roberts had aced his initial interview with Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Farhan Zaidi?

The date was December 11, 2012. Major League Baseball had just completed their annual Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tennessee – the same venue of this year’s Winter Meetings, which begin next Sunday. The Dodgers were holding a press conference to announce the signing of free agent right-hander Zack Greinke At the time is was pretty much a given that the then 29-year-old Orlando, […]
