When Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman acquired 28-year-old right-hander Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for minor leaguers Thayron Liranzo and Trey Sweeney this past Tuesday, it probably caused a good number of Dodgers fans to say: “Who?” With the Tigers, the Burbank, CA native and first-round draft pick in 2014 by the […]

It’s getting old – fast. Although 2024 Dodgers All-Stars Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernández continue to play at the level that made them All-Stars, the rest of the Dodgers lineup is at – or below – mediocre; in several cases well below mediocre. During Friday’s ugly come-from-ahead 6-5 loss by the NL West first-place Los […]

The Dodgers scored five runs in the top of the first inning against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park on Tuesday evening … and lost. That was not only inexcusable for a team considered by many to be among the best in the game this season, it was downright embarrassing. After leading off the […]

Late Monday evening, the Dodgers announced several roster moves in advance of Tuesday’s 6 PM (ET) MLB trade deadline.   *  *  *  Coming to the Dodgers are: AND… Twenty-eight-year-old right-hander Michael Kopech, a first-round draft pick in 2014 out of Mount Pleasant High School in Mount Pleasant, TX by the Boston Red Sox and […]

Friday’s game between the NL West first-place Los Angeles Dodgers and the AL West first-place Houston Astros was over before it started. About an hour before first pitch, the Dodgers reported that All-Star first baseman Freddie Freeman had been scratched from the starting lineup and had left Minute Maid Ballpark to fly back to Los […]

The last time 36-year-old Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw pitched in a regular season Major League game was against the San Francisco Giants on September 30, 2023 at Pac Bell AT&T Oracle Park, and the very last time he pitched was in Game-1 of the 2023 NLDS on October 7, 2023 against the Arizona Diamondbacks at […]

In his first start since returning from the injured list for back tightness, 30-year-old Dodgers right-hander Tyler Glasnow was… well… not good, this despite Dodgers manager Dave Roberts‘ claim to the contrary. “I think the stuff was good.
