Six years after he left on waivers, Brock Stewart came back to the Dodgers at his year’s trade deadline, but the reliever’s return to the bullpen was cut short by a shoulder injury. Originally drafted by the Dodgers in the sixth round in 2014 out of Illinois State, Stewart pitched in parts of four seasons […]

When the Dodgers landed lefty Tanner Scott, they assumed that he would take over in full force as the team’s closer. Instead, the former All-Star blew 10 saves, put up an ERA of 4.74 and produced negative value in terms of both rWAR and fWAR. There’s still $40.25 million that Scott will receive over the […]

Among the news items during Thanksgiving week was the allocation of the annual $50 million bonus pool for players not yet eligible for salary arbitration. Outfielder Andy Pages and pitcher Emmet Sheehan were the two Dodgers to receive bonuses under the system, which began in 2022 with the current collective bargaining agreement. All 30 MLB […]

Landon Knack’s second major league season saw rougher terrain as he slid further down the Dodgers depth chart, and regression on the mound. Knack had four stints in the majors in 2025, including making the opening day roster for the first two games against the Cubs in Tokyo. He pitched two scoreless innings of relief […]

Ronan Kopp was added to the Dodgers’ 40-man roster on November 18, which puts the tall left-hander one step closer to reaching the major leagues. Same for outfielder and first baseman Ryan Ward, the reigning Pacific Coast League MVP who was added to the Dodgers’ roster on November 6. Among the perks of getting added […]

David Finley has been with the Dodgers since 2015, the first year Andrew Friedman took over as president of baseball operations in Los Angeles. Finley, the team’s vice president of scouting, has won seven championships during his scouting career – 1997 with the Florida Marlins, 2004, 2007, and 2013 with the Boston Red Sox, and […]

The series against the Dodgers ended in defeat, Orion Kerkering literally throwing away any chance the Phillies had at bringing the series back to Philadelphia for a fifth and deciding game. It was a bitter disappointment to take, another opportunity wasted with the core they have in place. Yet, as we’ve seen something emerge from […]

Kiké Hernández nearly had his second half of the season wiped out due to an elbow injury, but he managed to stick around until the very end, adding another incredible postseason highlight to his already impressive resume. Hernández was coming off of another subpar offensive season in 2024, but took over as the primary third […]

Earlier in the season it looked like the Dodgers would smash their own franchise record of 40 pitchers used, set one year prior in 2024. The 2025 team was already at their 27th pitcher by May 18, with 115 games remaining on the schedule. But they only used five new pitchers after the All-Star break, […]

Jack Little’s long road finally reached the majors this season, though his time with the Dodgers was brief, at least in Los Angeles. The Dodgers drafted Little out of Stanford in the fifth round in 2019, and like many prospects had nowhere to play in 2020 with no minor league season that year. Then came […]

Roki Sasaki revived his rookie season by serving as the de-facto closer for the Dodgers in the postseason after struggling out of the gates as a starting pitcher. Sasaki ditched his slider and cutter from his arsenal in the postseason, relying on his devilish splitter and blazing fastball as his go-to pitch options, becoming a […]

Noah Davis had a rough start and rough finish to his tenure in the majors with the Dodgers. Acquired for cash considerations from the Boston Red Sox on March 27 — the date of the home opener for the Dodgers, and opening day for 28 MLB teams — Davis gave the Dodgers another relief pitcher […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are home to the league’s best pitcher in Paul Skenes, but he is also one of the most frequently placed players in trade rumors. Bleacher Report writer Joel Reuter suggested a trade that would send Skenes to the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers for a package of players including […]

The Dodgers acquired quite a few speedy outfielders who saw time in Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2025. Esteury Ruiz and Justin Dean saw time in the majors, with Dean carving out a highly-specialized nearly daily role in the postseason. Hyeseong Kim technically counts, though most of his time came in the infield in addition to […]

When we last left off with Tony Gonsolin, he was continuing to rehab from his second Tommy John surgery. The original plan was for Gonsolin to fight for a rotation spot in the early part of the season; however, Gonsolin injured his back while lifting weights during Spring Training, which gave Dustin May the fifth […]

Man, why do injuries have to happen? It’s hard to say whether or not Wheeler’s injury and whether or not it would have happened would have affected the series against the Dodgers, but boy. It really did not help them. 2025 stats 24 G (24 GS), 149 1/3 IP, 2.71 ERA (3.00 FIP), 1.14 HR/9, […]

I hope everyone had a very lovely Thanksgiving, and hopefully your Black Friday hasn’t been too stressful. There’s a lot the Dodgers can be thankful for, and that’ll be a central theme regarding this morning’s links. But first, let’s take a look at the latest name tied to the Dodgers. Former San Diego Padres closer […]

Amidst a disappointing Dodgers bullpen, Alex Vesia was one of the lone bright spots in 2025. He appeared in 68 regular season games, trailing only Anthony Banda for most on the team, and was one of just three relievers to have a sub-3.50 ERA while pitching in at least 55 innings. Although Vesia was away […]

However you are spending this Thursday, here’s a look back at Game 7 of the World Series, a mere 26 days ago. A lot of things had to go right for the Dodgers to win a second straight championship. First came Max Muncy, whose solo home run in the eighth inning cut the Dodgers deficit […]

We’ve already looked at part one and part two of the NLDS between the Phillies and Dodgers, a series in which the former almost completely dominated one Shohei Ohtani. In the cold darkness of winter, there is little to think about with the Phillies, particularly when they are just coming off another early round playoff […]

Alex Call began the season with the Washington Nationals before being acquired by the Dodgers at the trade deadline. He served as quality platoon bat against left-handed pitching and hit well over a small sample size in the postseason. Call was coming off a 2024 season where he appeared in just 30 games for Washington, […]

The Tatsuya Imai rumor mill has yet to really pick up a lot of steam, though that’s perhaps unsurprising given that his posting period lasts into the new year. One thing making the rounds, however, was a translated bit from a Japanese appearance in which Imai discussed joining an MLB team with established stars from Japan: Ｑ.ドジャースのような優勝狙えるチームに行きたいのか？倒しにいくのか？ 今井達也 「倒したいですね。(大谷・山本・佐々木選手らと)一緒にプレーするのも、もちろん楽しそうだなと思うんですけど、ああいうチームに勝ってワールドチャンピオンになるのが自分の人生にとって一番価値がある」 #報ステ pic.twitter.com/CFB...

Good morning! Prognostications about where Japanese stars will end up when they come to the big leagues are often filled with stereotypes and lazy assumptions. They all want to play for the Dodgers, they all want to be on the West Coast, they all want to be on a team with other Japanese players, etc. […]

With a robust farm system, an intriguing free agent class, and a growing connection to Japanese players, there are plenty of moving parts to keep track of this offseason. Luckily for the Dodgers, they have the front office talent necessary to manage all those options. Someone needs to make a documentary about what all that […]
