Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
After experiencing the first week plus a day of spring training to exhaust the February portion of the Cactus League schedule, the Dodgers open March with a Sunday home game against the Angels. Four of the Dodgers’ seven games this week are at Camelback Ranch, including an exhibition game Wednesday against Mexico as part of […]
If the Los Angeles Rams extend Puka Nacua to a record-breaking contract extension this year, as many expect them to do so that he doesn’t come near free agency in 2027, then his value to the team per dollar immediately goes down. That’s just on a per dollar basis—factually a star player making $5 million […]
The Dodgers lineup plans have taken shape over the first few weeks of spring training, with the welcome task of figuring out where to insert newcomer Kyle Tucker into an increasingly stacked lineup. Freddie Freeman, who collected three of his planned 47 plate appearances this spring on Saturday at Camelback Ranch, spoke with Kirsten Watson […]
The Dodgers asked for their starting rotation to go all in during the 2025 World Series, and that included each of their four playoff starters contributing on the mound in Game 7. Blake Snell, who missed four months of the regular season last year, put in 34 innings of work across six postseason appearances en […]
The Lakers took an important step toward capturing the Pacific Division title, one of the NBA’s most prestigious awards. Jokes aside, it is interesting how little divisions matter in the NBA. Because so many teams make the playoffs, the divisions are kind of useless. In the past, division winners were guaranteed home court advantage, but […]
After three straight losses, the Lakers got a sorely-needed win on Saturday, crushing the Warriors 129-101. LA led nearly wire-to-wire, hit a season-high 19 3-pointers and cruised to a very comfortable victory. The purple and gold shot 53.3% overall and held Golden State to just 27.3% from range. The game started with a Draymond Green […]
After beating the wheels off the L.A. Kings on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their California road trip with one last stop in San Jose to face the sliding Sharks. The Sharks came into the game on a healthy losing streak, and that meant an opportunity for the Oilers to keep building momentum…
Record 5-4. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 2-7. Whenever a pitcher is leaving the mound with a trainer after having hit two batters and walked a third, while showing sharply lower velocity… Yeah, it’s never a good thing. Such was the situation this afternoon in Tempe for Brandyn Garcia. His fifth inning appearance was […]
Getting built up as a starter to provide flexibility for a Dodgers pitching staff that thrives in its depth, Justin Wrobleski made his second appearance and first start this spring training against the Cubs in a split-squad day. One of the more experienced and battle-tested of the Dodgers’ young options, Wrobleski was very efficient in […]
The Dodgers were a split squad Saturday, but many of their regulars played against the Cubs, among them Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Max Muncy and Teoscar Hernández. And three Cubs pitchers who are all in the mix for swingman/relief/starter roles threw very well and the Cubs defeated the Dodgers 6-2. And today, if you missed […]
The LA Kings are already missing a major part of their offense after Kevin Fiala went down for the count during the Olympics. Now they've learned that they will be without Andrei Kuzmenko for an extended period after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus in his knee. Forward Andrei Kuzmenko underwent successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus. He has been placed on injured reserve (IR) and is listed as week-to-week. Additionally, defenseman Angus Booth has been recalled from the @onta...

Tempe Diablo is certainly one of the most picturesque of the Cactus League parks, with a wonderful backdrop of the Twin Buttes. Or is that Twin Butte? Google is indecisive on the matter. But it’s certainly iconic, and rather better than the 101 freeway which runs behind the fence at Salt River Fields. The D-backs […]
Go get ‘em, Colin.
The Los Angeles Chargers are approaching the NFL’s free agency period, and they have potential to upgrade the roster in a few different areas. The Chargers ranked fourth in the NFL in cap space, behind the Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders, and New York Jets. That’s why ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz believes the Chargers can […]
Anthony Edwards hit another one of those “are you kidding me?” threes Thursday night. The Wolves were trying to survive late, the Clippers were hanging around, and then Ant rises, launches, and basically ends the game with a shot that makes you do the involuntary living-room walk-around. For anyone who’s actually been watching Minnesota the […]
Involved in their first split-squad day of the year, the reigning champs will play simultaneous games against the Cubs and Rangers, with Justin Wrobleski facing Chicago and prospect Jackson Ferris pitching against Texas. Saturday Game info Saturday Game info
Day 3 of the NFL Combine brings out the pretty boys, quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. The Los Angeles Rams have some needs in those first two categories, so it’s a good chance for fans to see the prospects up close without pads. The overall speed shown at the Combine so far, have been […]
The Los Angeles Rams are potentially losing a number of veteran defenders to free agency this offseason. The secondary is likely to take the biggest toll: Curl and Durant are the top two players on this list and will be attractive options as signees for other teams. Let’s take a look at their possible landing […]

The Rangers are squaring off against the defending World Champion Dodgers of Los Angeles in today’s spring training matchup. The lineup: Carter — CF Langford — LF Pederson — 1B Jansen — C Haggerty — RF Duran — 2B Canha — DH Wade […]
It’s always good to beat LA. Always. And it’s always good to beat LeBron James. And it’s great that LeBron joined the Lakers in order to make victories all the sweeter. For me, I sometimes wonder what LeBron thinks of Boston in his heart of hearts. He’s far too savvy to say anything out loud […]
There has been a lot of smoke surrounding the Los Angeles Rams and their potential of drafting a quarterback in hopes of replacing Matthew Stafford longer term. The real question is whether there is fire underneath. The Rams have been linked to a quarterback early in the draft order since they fleeced the Atlanta Falcons […]
It’s been nearly four months since the Los Angeles Chargers acquired offensive lineman Trevor Penning in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. The Chargers only had to give up a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft for Penning, but there’s reason to believe Los Angeles fumbled on the trade. Bleacher Report writer Alex […]
