Last year the Dodgers international signing period was dominated by the signing for Roki Sasaki, the pitching sensation from Japan who signed for $6.5 million and started his career in the major leagues. Their 2026 international signing period is more traditional in the sense that they have spread things around to several prospects. The team […]
Clayton Kershaw has thrown his last major league pitch, but he’ll give it one last go in the World Baseball Classic, pitching for the United States in the international tournament this March.

On Wednesday, Beats unveiled a new ad campaign with Shohei Ohtani, characterizing him as literally larger than life. “Los Angeles is a city of energy, culture, and ambition,” Ohtani said in a press release. “Wearing Beats and seeing myself rise above the skyline feels symbolic of the connection I have with this city and our […]
The hot stove is beginning to sizzle again, and some notable moves took place that could shake up the free agent market. Third baseman Alex Bregman will play for his third team in as many year, as he agreed to a five-year, $175 million with the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The move by Chicago all […]
The Dodgers made their signing of Andy Ibáñez official on Tuesday, inking the infielder to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million.

Ibáñez hit .239/.301/.352 with eight doubles, four home runs, and 84 wRC+ in […]
According to recent reports, the Dodgers are among the teams interested in acquiring Freddy Peralta. It wasn’t that long ago when Peralta was one of the biggest obstacles in trying to prevent the Dodgers from reaching the Fall Classic as the ace of a Brewers team that faced off with Los Angeles in the NLCS. […]
At least two Dodgers minor league affiliate levels will have the same manager in 2026 as in 2025. Just as Eric Wedge was announced last week to return to helm Double-A Tulsa, John Shoemaker will return to manage the Dodgers Class-A team in 2026. Only this year, that Dodgers’ affiliate is now the Ontario Tower […]
As the 2026 World Baseball Classic looms in the distance, several Dodgers players are ready to play for their country, with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto looking to defend their WBC title. Roki Sasaki is a notable omission from Team Japan’s roster as he looks to have his first healthy season in the big leagues, […]
Let us take a moment to revisit the Dodgers’ first World Championship as a nice throwback 70+ years later. The series started with the Dodgers dropping the first two games in the Bronx before storming back to win the next three in Brooklyn. The Yankees forced Game 7, and the Dodgers prevailed in a shutout […]
Dodgers infielder Miguel Rojas is still soaking things in after hitting the game-tying home run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series in Toronto, and will be back in 2026 running his second stint with the team to four seasons. Rojas re-signed with Los Angeles in December for $5.5 million in […]
It’s a busy Friday for the Dodgers adding infielders who can play multiple positions. In addition to claiming Ryan Fitzgerald off waivers from the Twins, the team has also signed Andy Ibáñez. The signing of Ibáñez was first reported by Francys Romero and also reported by Kiley McDaniel of ESPN and other Dodgers beat writers. […]
The Dodgers added some infield depth on Friday by claiming Ryan Fitzgerald from the Minnesota Twins.

Moving like a shark, the Dodgers know only one way: to keep moving forward. The reigning back-to-back champs once again show themselves completely willing to keep improving by adding star-level talent to what’s already the greatest collection of talent in the big leagues. Two of the most notable free-agent hitters remain unsigned at the start […]
The Dodgers have completed an important task of their offseason plan, that being avoiding arbitration to eligible players. Four Dodgers, Brusdar Graterol, Alex Call, Anthony Banda and Brock Stewart, signed deals for the 2026 season to avoid arbitration this week, and now the team can march forward in their pursuits of available high-end talent. After […]
Thursday is the date for players and teams to exchange salaries for those eligible for arbitration, which serves as a soft deadline of sorts for deals to be struck. All four Dodgers eligible avoided an arbitration hearing by agreeing to one-year deals. Right-hander Brusdar Graterol was ahead of the curve, agreeing to terms on Wednesday […]
More than a week into the new year and about a month before major league spring training camps, now is about the time when minor league coaching staffs get finalized and/or announced. On Thursday, the Tulsa Drillers announced that Eric Wedge will return to manage the Dodgers’ Double-A affiliate in the Texas League. Wedge managed […]
Of the four Dodgers eligible for salary arbitration this offseason, relief pitcher Brusdar Graterol was the one with the easiest salary to predict. So perhaps it’s not a surprise that his one-year deal to avoid arbitration was the first one reported. Graterol will earn $2.8 million in 2026, per Robert Murray of FanSided and confirmed […]
Even though we are past the point where Larry David says it is okay to say Happy New Year, we return to something that has ground my gears for a while during this lull in the offseason: my gripes with the FOX baseball broadcast. In what has unexpectedly and delightfully become an annual tradition (next […]

The volcano that is the Dodgers’ offseason had a decent eruption around the winter meetings, but since then, it has been relatively dormant. With fans waiting eagerly for what the next move could be, the magma is slowly beginning its ascent. When that next burst will take place remains a mystery. So, for now, the […]
The exchange date for salary arbitration is this Thursday, and we’ve already looked at comparable players to pitcher Brusdar Graterol and outfielder Alex Call. That leaves two other Dodgers eligible for arbitration in 2026, both relievers — left-hander Anthony Banda and right-hander Brock Stewart. Both have similar service time, with Banda at four years, 135 […]
The results of the 2026 National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot of Baseball Writers Association of America members will be announced on January 20 on MLB Network, and my votes will be included among the 400 or so ballots summited.
