As a surprise to absolutely no one, the Dodgers on Thursday morning announced (via Twitter) that they have unconditionally released 31-year-old right-hander Trevor Bauer, effective immediately. The much-anticipated announcement is a result of the North Hollywood, CA native and first-round draft pick (third overall) by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2011 out of UCLA’s indiscretions for […]

It was a play that not only saved Clayton Kershaw‘s no-hitter on June 18, 2014, but also endeared him with the entire City of Los Angeles and every Dodgers fan on the planet. I am, of course, speaking of (now) 33-year-old utility infielder Miguel Rojas who, on that fateful day, was the Dodgers spry (then) […]

First and foremost, please allow me to apologize for posting another article on Trevor Bauer. Hopefully, it will be my last on the … well, you know. But this one is both noteworthy and significant. On January 9, 2023, MLB Network‘s (and New York Post columnist) Jon Heyman posted this on Twitter: Say what you […]

Although football is in season and headed into the playoffs, all baseball fans want is for the Superbowl to be played so that baseball has the floor again. The 2023 season will bring new faces to each team … and the umpiring staff. At the end of December, a source released to the media that […]

Now that the you-know-who mess is in its final stages of DFA administrative procedures, the Dodgers can turn their full attention to other roster decisions.

When the Dodgers signed (then) 31-year-old A.J. Pollock to a one-year / $4 million contract back on January 26, 2019, a good many skeptical Dodgers fans said (or at least thought): “Oh, great. Just what we need. Another over-the-hill outfielder to block our prospects from being promoted.” Little did they – or anyone – know […]

By now, most Dodgers fans have either heard or read the Dodgers statement regarding their release of 31-year-old right-hander Trevor Bauer for his indiscretions. If not, here it is:  “The Dodgers organization believes that allegations of sexual assault or domestic violence should be thoroughly investigated, with due process given to the accused,’’ the Dodgers said […]

Late Friday afternoon, the Dodgers issued the following statement regarding 31-year-old right-hander Trevor Bauer: The Dodgers have seven days to trade Bauer. If they do not, he will be placed on unconditional release waivers. If no team claims off waivers, he will become a free agent.    *  *  *  *  *  * 

It’s finally here. Decision Day. The day that the Dodgers must decide (or at least announce) what they plan to do with beleaguered soon-to-be (on January 17) 32-year-old right-hander Trevor Bauer. Truth be told, it is impossible to believe that Dodgers ownership, Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman, and Dodgers General Manager Brandon Gomes […]

On more than one occasion during his soon-to-be ninth season as the Dodgers President of Baseball Operations, Andrew Friedman has re-acquired a number of former Dodgers players or farmhands, and with surprisingly good success. One of Friedman’s more notable re-acquisitions was that of (now) 31-year-old right-hander Andrew Heaney, whom he initially acquired on December 11, […]
