There is a saying as old as time itself: “You Can’t Beat a Dead Horse.” At risk of scrutiny and criticism, I’m going to ‘Beat a Dead Horse’. Early Friday morning, The Athletic‘s Evan Drellich (subscription required) posted this on Twitter:   *  *  *  Although the sign-stealing scandal is certainly not new news to […]

When the Dodgers elected not to re-sign 27-year-old free agent center fielder Cody Bellinger, two things happened: A bit harsh, you say? Absolutely. But consider this: The two-time All-Star, former Gold Glove winner, former Silver Slugger, 2017 NL Rookie of the Year, and 2019 MLB MVP slashed a dismal .165/.240/.302/.542 in 2021, and an only […]

Long before ThinkBlueLA.com was an official blogsite, it was an interactive fan forum created in 2009 by our talented webmaster Scott Harvey. Through that original fan forum, I came to know and become friends with a good many Dodgers fans from across the country and abroad. Among them is (now) 70-year-old lifelong Dodgers fan and […]

For the second time in as many years, the Dodgers have reached deals with all of their arbitration-eligible players – in this case, all 14 of them – prior to the February 17 deadline.

Although there has been no official confirmation from the team yet, it was reported on Friday morning that the Dodgers have signed 26-year-old right-hander Jordan Yamamoto and 31-year-old right-hander Dylan Covey to Minor League deals, presumably with invitations to Major League Spring Training camp.

On Thursday, MLB Pipeline released their annual Top 100 Prospects list, which included an impressive seven Dodgers prospects. That’s the great news … almost. The less-than-great news is that there was one defensive position noticeably missing from among the seven; one which has been a bit of a dilemma for Dodgers President of Baseball Operations […]

As the 2023 season prepares to get underway, the Dodger faithful have quite a few things to look forward to. Most already have their calendars marked for the first Spring Training game, which is just one month away, and Opening Day 2023 a mere 63 days away. The first FanFest since 2020 is scheduled for […]
