Where The Dodger Dogs Are Always Grilled
Luken Baker spent four days on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster in August and played the final two months of the season in Triple-A Oklahoma City. Position player depth was an issue for the Dodgers in 2025, and at times they grabbed some players as they became available, in hopes of a potential contribution. Some players […]
Edwin Díaz was introduced at Dodger Stadium in a brief press conference on Friday afternoon, and will wear number three with the Dodgers. He’s previously only worn 39 in his major league career, but that number is retired in Los Angeles for catcher Roy Campanella. Díaz said he chose three in part because he and […]
The Dodgers on Friday claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Atlanta Braves, adding a true center fielder to the 40-man roster mix. Siani has played parts of four seasons in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals, hitting .221/.277/.270 with a 58 wRC+, two home runs, and 21 stolen bases […]
The Dodgers were the seventh different team that Luis García played for in his 13th big league season, pitching in 28 games before spending time with both the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Angels. After spending the 2024 season with the Angels and the Boston Red Sox, the Dodgers signed García to a minor […]
Team Japan is ready to defend their title ahead of the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and their rotation will feature the reigning World Series MVP and ace of the Dodgers pitching staff. Yoshinobu Yamamoto will join teammate Shohei Ohtani as the two Dodgers to announce their participation for the World Baseball Classic, per Yahoo! Japan. […]
In hindsight, if one squints hard enough, the acquisition of Tanner Scott made sense. The 2024 Dodgers had a bullpen that overachieved, but was getting a bit long in the tooth with Blake Treinen as the de facto closer. When the Dodgers acquired Scott in January, he was the best relief arm on the market. […]
With the winter meetings now behind us, the Dodgers came out of Orlando with a new closer in Edwin Díaz, though that move hasn’t yet been made official. The bullpen suddenly looks so much stronger with him in it. In pieces from Katie Woo and Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic and Jack Harris at the […]
After losing six players in the previous four Rule 5 Drafts, no Dodgers minor leaguers were selected in the major league section of the 2025 Rule 5 Draft at the winter meetings in Orlando. That means pitcher Jose Rodríguez, shortstop Noah Miller, and others remain in the organization. A total of seven Dodgers were listed […]
Many factors help make the Dodgers into this seemingly all-consuming juggernaut we see before ourselves at the present time, and it goes beyond purely the financial advantages they have, which is not to say we should dismiss them—having a lot more money than the majority of other teams is what allows the reigning back-to-back champs […]
It’s not supposed to be this easy. When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers two offseasons ago, there was the expectation that the Dodgers would eventually win a Championship. Yes, the current run of success with Dave Roberts at the helm from 2016 to 2023 was largely the envy of baseball in all categories except […]
The winter meetings are already in full swing, and the Dodgers have secured their first major splash of the offseason in former New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz. The Dodgers and Díaz agreed to a three-year, $69 million deal on Tuesday which will make him the highest paid closer per annual average value. Díaz is […]
The first two seasons of Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year deal with the Dodgers have gone swimmingly, with the team winning the World Series twice, Ohtani winning National League MVP twice, and now taking home another Associated Press male athlete of the year award. Associated Press announced the 2025 award on Tuesday, with Ohtani receiving 29 of […]
Dodgers catcher Will Smith will return to play for the United States in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Team USA manager Mark DeRosa said on MLB Network on Tuesday morning. Smith was one of four players announced for Team USA on Tuesday, along with Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson, and Brewers […]
For the second offseason in a row, the Dodgers decided to swim in the deep end of the relief pitching pool. This time, it’s signing closer Edwin Díaz, per both Will Sammon and Katie Woo at The Athletic. It’s a three-year, $69 million contract for Díaz, per Jeff Passan of ESPN. Díaz had a 1.63 […]
What constitutes a signing working out or not is open to different interpretations depending on who you talk to and who you’re talking about. Amidst a very busy offseason last year, one of the moves made by the Dodgers front office was to sign Hyeseong Kim from the KBO, committing to a three-year deal worth […]
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and general manager Brandon Gomes spoke on Monday at the winter meetings, both in scrums with reporters and on MLB Network separately. Nothing super newsworthy, but here is a summary of the topics discussed. Ken Rosenthal at The Athletic last week floated the possibility of the Dodgers trading outfielder Teoscar Hernández, […]
The Dodgers play the Mets on Wednesday, April 15, Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium, a game that will be exclusively televised by ESPN, the network announced today. This is the first of 30 exclusive weekday games on ESPN in 2026. ESPN was the exclusive home of ‘Sunday Night Baseball’ for 36 seasons, dating back […]
Dustin May made his return to the mound after missing nearly two whole years due to elbow and esophageal surgeries, but his return proved to be underwhelming and frustrating, prompting a trade to the Boston Red Sox at the trade deadline. Prior to the beginning of the 2025 season, May had last pitched for the […]
Jeff Kent, who played the final four seasons of his career with the Dodgers, was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday night. He reacted to the news on a conference call, per Ronald Blum of Associated Press: “I hugged my wife after the the phone call had come in,” Kent said, […]
The Contemporary Baseball Era Committee met on Sunday at the winter meetings in Orlando, trying to decide which players from an eight-person ballot would be elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Only one —Jeff Kent — will be inducted in Cooperstown in July 2026, while Fernando Valenzuela and others fell short. Kent received […]
J.P. Feyereisen reached the Jake Reed zone in 2025, a previous pitching acqusition finding his way back to the Dodgers on waivers after some time away, and only for a short time. After riding the up-and-down between Oklahoma City and the Dodgers, Feyereisen ended his 2024 off the 40-man roster and elected free agency. He […]
The baseball winter meetings start on Sunday night in Orlando, in which the entire baseball world convenes, a period that often stokes the hot stove flames. We are already five weeks into the offseason, and the Dodgers have made several roster moves after winning the World Series. Clayton Kershaw retired. Michael Kopech, Michael Conforto, Kirby […]
Michael Grove’s seven and a half years in the Dodgers organization was very much a portrait of a modern major league pitcher. But after shoulder surgery kept him out of action for all of 2025, his time with Los Angeles has ended. Grove had Tommy John surgery in 2017 while at West Virginia, but that […]
The Dodgers brought back one of their 2025 champions in the form of Miguel Rojas earlier this week, and now, the Dodgers hope to do the same with another fan favorite. Where would the Dodgers be without Kiké Hernández over the last two seasons? Hernández spent the last two regular seasons serving as a utility […]
Kyle Hurt has been on the cusp of getting some sort of run in the majors with the Dodgers, but sadly nominative determinism has spoiled most of the last two seasons. The right-hander out of USC, who came to the Dodgers along with Alex Vesia in the 2021 trade of Dylan Floro to the Marlins, […]
