Although it wasn’t the blockbuster breaking news that Dodgers fans have been anxiously waiting for, the team announced on Monday morning that they were bringing back 34-year-old right fielder Jason Heyward on a one-year/$9 million deal, as was first reported on Twitter by ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel.

It’s no secret that the Dodgers are very much in need of pitching help this off-season, especially starting pitching. It’s also no secret that Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman has a history of signing (or re-signing) veteran (old) pitchers often overlooked by other teams, a few who actually worked out well for the […]

It’s certainly no secret that although soon-to-be (on December 28) 34-year-old Fullerton, CA native Austin Barnes is an above average defensive catcher, his offense has been […]
