Over many decades, there were certain players coming through the Dodgers development pipeline who were considered ‘untouchable’ – those prospects that the team would not even consider trading because of their high potential to become MLB stars; names like Tommy Davis, Steve Garvey, Don Sutton, Fernando Valenzuela, Mike Piazza, Adrian Beltre, Clayton Kershaw, Corey Seager, Julio […]

Should the Dodgers be outbid for each of their free agents (other than Clayton Kershaw), fail to sign a substantive MLB free agent from the 2025 class, and stand pat in the trade market, they will still be the overwhelming favorite to repeat as World Series Champions. But the team will not stand pat and […]

As Dodgers fans well know, Oklahoma City has had a longstanding relationship with Minor League Baseball (MiLB), having joined the Pacific Coast League in 1998 and becoming a Dodgers MiLB affiliate in 2015.

On the heels of what many are calling the single worst Dodgers loss of the 2024 regular season (or longer), Dodger fans received some much-needed good news late Saturday evening.

I’ll give you 104 reasons, as in a 104-mph fastball. On […]

Let’s get right to it. No concern for full names of Dodgers stars and veterans, grammar, paragraph structure, punctuation, etc. Here are some random observations and musings about the Dodgers 2024 Cactus League performance: Expect a trade (or more), with catcher Hunter Feduccia, outfielder Miguel Vargas, and pitchers Matt Gage, Michael Grove, and Ricky Vanasco […]

Following Sunday’s 7-4 Dodgers win over the Colorado Rockies at Camelback Ranch, the Dodgers announced their first round of Spring Training roster cuts. This verbatim from the team: “The Dodgers have optioned RHPs Landon Knack, Ricky Vanasco and Nick Frasso, catchers Hunter Feduccia and Diego Cartaya and OF Andy Pages, and re-assigned LHP Stephen Gonsalves, […]

Veteran MLB fans know better than to place too much weight on a team’s Spring Training win-loss record, or player stats. In particular, when the early Cactus League game competition includes prospects with high numbers and no names on their game jerseys. But it’s always fun watching the Dodgers players perform well and the team […]

Although his time with the Dodgers was ridiculously brief (like two games and four plate appearances), one-time Dodgers catcher Tony Wolters announced on his Instagram page on Sunday that he is retiring from the game after seven seasons to take on a bench coach role with the Colorado Rockies Arizona Complex League.
