Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
Three years ago, the Dodgers took a chance on outfielder Jason Heyward after a disappointing finish to his seven-year tenure with the Chicago Cubs. Although signed to a minor-league deal, Heyward eventually broke camp, had a bounce back season in 2023 and was able to prolong his career for another two years afterwards. Now, the […]
It was a wild one in Goodyear Ballpark on Thursday afternoon as ESPN broadcast a ridiculous 14-13 victory by the Cincinnati Reds over the Los Angeles Dodgers that featured a combined 10 (!) homers between the two clubs. Fortunately for the Reds, they came out victorious in this game that ultimately means nothing in the […]
Process, process, process—the results of a spring training game matter most when they validate certain processes and reinforce an idea. The Dodgers scored a boatload of runs in a 14- 13 walk-off loss against the Reds; one of their expected regulars, Max Muncy, went yard, but what mattered more than anything else was the validation […]
Looking for their 10th win this spring training, the Dodgers play the Reds with left-hander Cole Irvin taking the ball for Los Angeles.
The Cincinnati Reds are fresh off of thumping Team Cuba 19-2 in the latter’s final warm-up game before heading to the World Baseball Classic. On Thursday, they’ll jump right back into Cactus League play at home in Goodyear, this time up against the very same team that ended their 2025 season. The Los Angeles Dodgers […]
Major League Baseball on Thursday announced preliminary rosters for spring breakout games, the annual showcase of minor league prospects playing games in big league spring training stadiums. Included on the Dodgers’ spring breakout roster for their game on March 21 against White Sox prospects at Camelback Ranch are top prospects Josue De Paula, Eduardo Quintero, […]
One thing that has been a constant for the last few seasons is how deep the Dodgers’ pitching staff is to start Spring Training. Another thing that has been a constant is a few weeks into the season, there are inevitably issues and/or injuries and the Dodgers need to pivot from their original plan. This […]

Third base, the gig for March 27th and beyond, has no shortage of candidates. It’s the A’s handling of the positional battle that is puzzling. To wit: Max Muncy Muncy appears, as best one can tell, to be the front runner and yet his spring training showing (at least on radio where admittedly my eyes […]
Included in the Dodgers’ 7-5 win over Mexico in Wednesday’s exhibition at Camelback Ranch were a few performances that can’t help but be viewed with an eye toward the regular season. Each of Andy Pages’ seven previous starts this spring were in center field, so he got to stay off his feet a bit on […]
The Dodgers take a break from Cactus League action to host Team Mexico on Wednesday. It’s one of 15 games across Arizona and Florida on Wednesday with a World Baseball Classic team tuning up by playing a major league team. Will Smith starts at catcher for Team USA on Wednesday against the Rockies at Salt […]
Myles Straw is a 31-year-old, right-handed hitting, center fielder. The Jays traded for him on January 17th, 2025. We got Myles Straw and some international bonus pool money money. At the time we thought/hoped the money would go to Roki Sasaki. Unfortunately, Roki went to the Dodgers and the Jays had to pretend they wanted […]
After a disappointing regular season and a shoulder injury that cost him four months worth of time, Roki Sasaki was the saving grace for the Dodgers bullpen during their most recent title run. Sasaski was finally able to show flashes of his promising potential that was heavily advertised the offseason prior, and after his brief […]

It’s the third appearance this spring and first start for the non-roster invitee who played last year in the KBO after six major league seasons with […]
Roki Sasaki had his second outing of Spring Training on Tuesday, and it didn’t start very well. After allowing a single and two walks to the first three batters, Sasaki gave up a grand slam to Kyle Manzardo. He then walked the next batter and then was removed from the inning. Roki re-entered the game […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers will travel to Goodyear Park to take on the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. Roki Sasaki looks to improve on his first outing of the season, in which he went 1.1 innings and allowed three hits and three runs, while walking two and striking out three. Joey Cantillo will start for the […]
Clayton Kershaw may be done with Major League Baseball, but as the World Baseball Classic nears, the greatest left-hander of our generation has one more box to tick. For the first time in his career, Kershaw will represent the United States of America in the World Baseball Classic, and in preparation for that assignment, Kershaw […]
There is no Cactus League game for the Dodgers on Wednesday, but they still have a game on their schedule, an exhibition within the exhibition of spring training. They will host Team Mexico on Wednesday afternoon at Camelback Ranch, one of a handful of games for teams in preparation of the World Baseball Classic. Across […]
The Dodgers on Monday sent Jack Suwinski outright to the minors and off the 40-man roster after the outfielder cleared waivers. Suwinski was claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on February 21. He hasn’t yet played in a Cactus League game, but was getting work in on the backfields at Camelback Ranch. On Friday, […]
The last few days have seen a handful of Dodgers outfield prospects make an impact in spring training games. Mike Sirota injured his knee last July and finally got into a game on Saturday, and homered against the Rangers in Surprise. He’s is one of four Dodgers outfielders peppered throughout various top-100 prospect lists this […]
Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone impressed in his first Cactus League start last Tuesday in his one inning, his first game in a year and a half after right shoulder surgery. But any plans for a potential spot on the opening day roster were scuttled when Stone experienced soreness in that shoulder after a bullpen session, […]
Santiago Espinal had two more hits in three at-bats in the Dodgers’ win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday in Scottsdale, keeping his Cactus League on-base percentage at a tidy .667, having reached base 12 times in 18 at-bats.
