In a somewhat unusual – or at least surprising – move, the Dodgers have acquired 33-year-old left-hander Danny Duffy from the Kansas City Royals on a one year deal with an option for 2023 in exchange for cash considerations and the proverbial player-to-be-named-later. It is unusual in the fact that the Goleta, CA native and third-round […]

With the announcement late Wednesday night that the Dodgers had signed 32-year-old future Hall of Fame first baseman Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers instantly went from being an already good baseball team to a “really really really good” baseball team. But can the addition of one guy actually do this? According to Dodgers President of Baseball […]

While the pursuit of free-agent first baseman Freddie Freeman is grabbing the attention of MLB journalists, talk shows, and bloggers, there is a disquieting realization to the Dodgers’ aggressive approach. Somethin’ ain’t right! When free-agent shortstop Corey Seager signed with the Texas Rangers, he left a gap in the Dodgers’ offense from the left side […]

Ask any Dodgers fan – or any baseball fan for that matter – who the greatest pitcher in Dodgers franchise history is, the answer will almost unanimously be Dodgers Hall of Fame left-hander Sandy Koufax. I say almost because Dodgers fans born after 1972, the year Koufax was enshrined in the sacred Halls of Cooperstown, […]

As if Dodger fans didn’t already have enough to lose sleep over, MLB Trade Rumors reported on Tuesday morning that the Boston Red Sox have thrown their hat into the Freddie Freeman ring, joining the Dodgers, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Tampa Bay Rays, who were actually already in on the highly-sought-after 32-year-old […]

Former Dodgers right-hander Joe Kelly is one of those guys that you either really really liked or you really really did not. When the 2021 season ended, so, too, did the colorful 33-year-old’s three-season tenure with the Dodgers. But even though the (very) hard-throwing Anaheim, CA native and third-round draft pick in 2009 by the […]

With the MLB lockout now (thankfully) behind us, the free-agent-signing-ball is rolling at breakneck speed. And even though the Dodgers made only one free-agent signing on Friday, it was an enormous one – re-signing future Hall of Fame lefthander Clayton Kershaw to a one-year/$17 million deal that could include an additional $5 million in performances […]

Thursday’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association brought with it a change to the Postseason format. Instead of the 14-team postseason format desired by team owners (for obvious reasons), a 12-team format was ultimately approved by both sides. This (verbatim) from USA Today‘s Gabe Lacques: “For now, MLB […]
