Should the Dodgers lock up Cody Bellinger long-term?
August 29th, 2017 at 11:30 am by Ron Cervenka It’s a crazy thought, ludicrous even. Dodgers rookie phenom Cody Bellinger is but 22 years old, has only 101 major league games under his belt, and will be under team control until 2023, with three of those being arbitration years. He is money in the bank for the Dodger, plain and simple. But with the […]

Is it Déjà vu all over again with AGon?
August 28th, 2017 at 7:00 am by Ron Cervenka It was just a little blurb on Twitter. In fact, aside from two brief tweets by DodgerTalk’s David Vassegh and a couple others, the only other mention of it was a very brief one-liner by Dodgers beat writer Steve Dilbeck. Heck, even the Dodgers PR people didn’t mention it. “Right there I just want to be […]
