The Dodgers have added outfielder James Outman, infielders Jacob Amaya, Eddys Leonard, Jorbit Vivas, and pitcher Michael Grove to their 40-Man Roster. Outman, 24, split the season between High-A Great Lakes and Double-A Tulsa, batting a combined .266 (110-for-414) with 21 doubles, 18 homers, and 54 RBI last season. He finished the season with the […]

On July 21, 2021, the Dodgers traded minor league outfielder Carlos Rincon to the New York Mets for outfielder Billy McKinney. It wasn’t a headline-grabbing trade. Rincon was no longer considered a top prospect by the Dodgers, and McKinney was a Mendoza-line hitter who had been DFA by the Mets five days earlier; his third […]

It was short and (relatively) sweet. Twenty-seven-year-old Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin made a rehab start with the team’s Low Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in the first game of a doubleheader at LoanMart Field on Saturday afternoon, as he works his way back from right shoulder inflammation. Gonsolin made a total of 41 pitches (25 strikes) […]

Less than one month remains in the 2021 regular season schedule for the Dodgers Low-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. As the dog-days of summer wind down, we will take a look at a few of the players in the Dodgers minor league system who have performed well, perhaps exceeding expectations. We begin our review by considering […]

Trading for future Hall of Fame right-hander Max Scherzer and All-Star shortstop Trea Turner required a significant trade package from the Dodgers, headed by their top-two prospects: right-hander Josiah Gray and catcher Keibert Ruiz. Additionally, the team had to include well-regarded prospects Donovan Casey (corner outfielder) and right-hander Gerardo Carrillo. The Dodgers were well-positioned to […]

There is an old law enforcement saying that has been around for decades … or longer: “Never get arrested on a slow news day.” I kid, of course, as there is never a good day to get arrested. But the meaning of this ages-old saying is very clear – If you get arrested on a […]

Hall of Fame manager Bill McKechnie said it best on January 31, 1940: “No, sir, you never have enough pitching. Just when you think you have it, it is usually the time when you suddenly find yourself with pitchers who can never start a game.” Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman is clearly a […]

The Dodgers selected Maddux in the first round of the 2021 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of UMS-Wright Prep School in Alabama as the 29th overall pick on Sunday evening. No, not Greg Maddux, who achieved baseball immortality in 2014 when he was inducted in the sacred Halls of Cooperstown after his brilliant 23-year MLB […]

It was a simple, one-line announcement from the Dodgers on Saturday morning: It isn’t the first time the 27-year-old Zach Reks has been summoned by the Dodgers this season. He was recalled from their Triple-A OKC affiliate on June 21, made his Major League debut the next night (hitless in two at-bats), and immediately optioned […]

For Dodger fans who also follow their team’s minor league affiliates, July 4, 2021, will be one to remember. In his first appearance in two months while rehabbing from a right shoulder impingement, 23-year-old right-hander Josiah Gray tossed two perfect innings with one strikeout for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers. But that’s the second big […]
