Reports surfaced during the winter that the Dodgers were “shopping,” or at least listening to trade offers for Joc Pederson. The Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, and Cleveland Indians were mentioned as possible trade partners for the Dodgers 26-year-old outfielder. Considering how many left-handed-hitting outfielders there are on the Dodgers 40-man roster, […]

With every indication that Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw will begin the 2019 season at extended Spring Training (or on the Injured List), Dodgers manager Dave Roberts needs a Plan-B for who his Opening Day starter is going to be; something which he has not tipped his hand at yet. And while many Dodger fans would […]

Remember those old E.F. Hutton commercials, the ones that ended with: “When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen?” Well if you are a Dodger fan who closely follows longtime Dodgers beat reporter Ken Gurnick (and let’s be real here, if you do not, you are really missing the boat), then you are very well aware that: […]

When Dodger fans woke up on the morning of October 29, 2018 following the painful four-games-to-one World Series loss to the Boston Red Sox, there was a hue and cry among them to burn Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman at the stake.

There is no kind way to put it, the 2018 version of Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes was … not good. Oh sure, he had his moments throughout the season, especially defensively. But with the bat, he was often referred to by Dodger fans as team’s DO (Designated Out), especially during the postseason. During the regular […]

Let’s face it, bobbleheads are, without question, the single most popular stadium giveaways (or SGAs, as they are known in the business) every season. And while retro bobbleheads – i.e., those of former players and legends – are always cool, the younger generation of baseball fans prefer bobbleheads of current active (younger) players. For Dodger […]

Unless the Dodgers are trying to pull off the biggest optical illusion of the century, there is no way that Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who will celebrate his 31st birthday on March 19, is going to make his ninth consecutive Opening Day start on Thursday, March 28 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Dodger Stadium.
