The Dodgers are faced with the daunting task of renovating their 40-man roster for the 2023 season while reducing a recent level of payroll spending that President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman has admitted to being unsustainable. With free agency, team options, possible non-tenders, and Walker Buehler‘s 2023 rehab, there are 17 roster spots in […]

When the Houston Astros defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2017 World Series four games to three, it left Dodgers fans – and pretty much the entire baseball world – scratching their collective heads, wondering how a significantly less talented Astros team could defeat a far superior Dodgers team. Then again, as beloved as […]

Although it is probably not the move that some Dodgers fans were hoping for, it was reported on Wednesday morning by MLB Trade Rumors (via MLB Network‘s Jon Morosi) that 42-year-old Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough has interviewed for the vacant Royals managerial position and is considered to be a finalist for the position.
