It’s Not My Moneyball 2026: Pandora’s Box

In 2022, the “It’s not my Moneyball” series was created in response to the lockout imposed by the owners that disrupted Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season starts, the World Baseball Classic concludes, we must revive this series as trouble looms in the […]

Roki Sasaki has struggled with command this spring training, all while adding new pitches to his repertoire.

Dodgers notes: Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, spring breakout

Mookie Betts is entering the 2026 season off the heels of a career-worst year offensively and he is determined to get back to his MVP form.

Ryan, who is on the 40-man, was optioned, while non-roster invitee Fitzgerald was reassigned to the minors.
