I had it right. …sort of. I had projected that one of the two Dodgers who had been given a $17.9 million qualifying offer (as set by MLB and the MLB Players Association) would accept it and that the other would not. I fully expected that Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal, who had a horrible fall […]

Like his former battery mate Yasmani Grandal, we will know later today if 31-year-old left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu accepted or rejected the $17.9 million qualifying offer made to him by Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and now former Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi back on November 2. But unlike Grandal, who many believe will accept […]

Shortly after the 2018 World Series ended, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and (now former) Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi had a decision to make. They had to decide whether or not to make a $17.9 million qualifying offer (as set by Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association) to just-turned-30-year-old (on […]

Like him or not, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, he absolutely positively will be at the Dodgers helm for the 2019 season and, in all likelihood, for the next four seasons … as in through the 2022 season.

Dodger third baseman Justin Turner, […]

When word leaked out last week that the San Francisco Giants were courting Dodgers general manager Farhan Zaidi as a possible replacement for ousted Giants GM Bobby Evans, who was fired by the struggling franchise on September 24, 2018, anyone with half a brain knew – beyond all doubt – that the soon-to-be 42-year-old (on November […]

As Dodger fans, at some point we are going to have to come to grips with how the 2018 World Series ended, just as we had to following the 2017 World Series. When we do, and once we get past the pain and suffering (as best as we can, that is), we are going to […]

Last Friday, while the entire baseball world waited anxiously to learn if Dodgers ace and future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw was going to opt out of his seven-year / $215 million contract or not, something else happened that, for the most part, went pretty much under the radar – the Dodgers did not engage […]
