Dodgers notes: Jackson Ferris, Ching-Hsien Ko, Austin Barnes
We’ve had a pair of top-100 prospect lists drop in each of the last two weeks, with between four and seven Dodgers included on those lists. But with those list also comes further analysis of the minor leagues, both with individual players and farm systems as a whole. Taiwanese outfielder Ching-Hsien Ko was one of […]
Dodgers rotation will take a village to get through season, like always
Part of the spring training ritual is figuring out which pitchers are a little behind the curve, and who might not be ready for the start of the season. It’s inevitable and happens with every team. The first domino for the Dodgers fell on Thursday, when Blake Snell at a team community event at Aquarium […]
Dodgers sign Ryder Ryan to minor league deal, per reports
The Dodgers this week signed Ryder Ryan to a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, per multiple reports. The pitcher if he makes the majors would earn a salary of $800,000, per both Fabian Ardaya at The Athletic and Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Ryan pitched parts of two […]
Blake Snell questionable to be ready by opening day
In arguably the greatest World Series of the decade, the Dodgers went all in with their starting pitching to get the job done in a back-and-forth seven game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. This included Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitching on zero days rest to complete Game 7, while other starters such as Blake Snell and […]
Dodgers news – how long will the Dodgers window last?
All of Major League Baseball has been debating for a while if A), what the Dodgers are doing with their payroll is the ‘correct’ way of doing things; B), how long it would be sustainable; and C) will it finally trigger a salary cap. For the Dodgers front office, doing it ‘correctly’ is just semantics. […]
What roster moves are left for the Dodgers?
The Dodgers’ two biggest needs this offseason were bullpen help and outfield production, and they went and signed the two best free agents at those positions in Edwin Díaz and Kyle Tucker, each contract setting records for average annual value. With Tucker the lineup looks much deeper, and can be considered stacked even for a […]
Dodgers notes: Mookie Betts, catching depth, Dino Ebel
From Corey Seager, to Trea Turner, to Mookie Betts, the Dodgers had a carousel of options at shortstop from 2021 to the beginning of last season. It was Betts who stepped up in 2025 and ensured that the team had to look no further than inward as to which player would be their primary shortstop. […]
Josue De Paula leads 5 Dodgers in ESPN top 100 prospects
Kiley McDaniel unveiled his preseason rankings of top 100 prospects in baseball on Tuesday at ESPN. Like the previously released lists — Baseball America (120 names), MLB Pipeline (110 names), and The Athletic (100 names so far) — McDaniel will likely reveal more names beyond the top 100. Last year his list went to 200, […]

Dodgers have 7 prospects in The Athletic top 100
It’s prospect-ranking season, with both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline unveiling top-100 lists last week. On Monday, Keith Law at The Athletic revealed his annual preseason ranking of the top 100 prospects in baseball. Seven Dodgers made this list, their most prolific showing yet among these groups. Just like at BA and MLB, four outfielders […]

Law Talk: The locker room rumble at Camelback Ranch, revisited
Three years ago, a landlord/tenant dispute between the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Chicago White Sox, and the City of Glendale, Arizona, made national headlines. To wit: MLB established guidelines requiring facilities to have both male and female locker rooms, and the White Sox and Dodgers, tenants of the Camelback Ranch spring training facility, got into […]
The continuing education of Buster Posey
We have reached the portion of the offseason where most of the major pieces have come off the board (and shocker — for the third offseason in a row, the Dodgers are drinking everybody’s milkshake, allegedly bullying everyone, much to everyone’s agita). Never mind that the Dodgers have created an environment that both keeps and […]
Dodgers notes: Shohei Ohtani, Yu Darvish, Craig Kimbrel
During last year’s New York Baseball Writers’ Awards Gala, Shohei Ohtani was unable to attend the event despite being awarded his 2024 NL MVP plaque. This time around, in receiving his second consecutive NL MVP and third consecutive MVP, Ohtani was in person to present his acceptance speech. Just as he did when he accepted […]

Dodgers have 6 Saturday games exclusively on Fox in 2026
Fox Sports unveiled the bulk of their 2026 schedule on Friday, which includes six planned exclusive Saturday games on Fox and two more games on FS1.

Catching up with baseball history of pitchers & catchers
Henry Chadwick, who is often referred to as the “Father of Baseball”, pioneered statistics and overall was a huge proponent of the game of baseball.

LOS ANGELES — Dodgers outfield production in 2025 was lacking, making it a clear need this offseason.

The short video featured guest Freddie Freeman, who is also famously Canadian and is generally considered one of the nicest people in baseball. Freeman gets […]
Kyle Tucker ‘quiet’ addition to All-Star-laden Dodgers
On Wednesday, the Dodgers made the Kyle Tucker signing official and held a press conference to welcome the newest Dodger.
