Bo Bichette or Kyle Tucker —who would Dodgers fans like to sign?
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 […]
Dodgers notes: Kyle Tucker, post-arbitration agenda, power rankings
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 […]
Dodgers sign Anthony Banda, Brock Stewart, Alex Call, no arbitration hearings again
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 […]
Eric Wedge back to manage Dodgers Double-A Tulsa team
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 […]
Dodgers sign Brusdar Graterol, avoid salary arbitration
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 […]
The problem with the Fox broadcast
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 […]
Dodgers Reacts Survey: Available free agents
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Dodgers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. There are still a few top-tier free agents still available on the open market. The Dodgers […]
Brock Stewart 2026 salary arbitration preview
The exchange date for salary arbitration is this Thursday, and we’ve already looked at comparable players to pitcher Brusdar Graterol, outfielder Alex Call, and left-hander Anthony Banda. The other Dodgers player eligible for arbitration this year is right-hander Brock Stewart. Stewart has four years, 93 days of major league service time, and is eligible for […]
Dodgers have shown interest in Freddy Peralta
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 […]
Anthony Banda 2026 salary arbitration preview
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 […]
My first Hall of Fame ballot
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. I never dreamed this would happen, but then again I didn’t think the BBWAA would […]
Dodgers notes: Players in Venezuela, international signing period, Don Mattingly
With the United States’ arrest of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro last week, thoughts shifted to various aspects of daily life in the country. For one, two Venezuelan Winter League playoff games on Saturday in Valencia were postponed to Wednesday, and two more Sunday games were postponed to this Thursday. Dodgers reliever Edgardo Henriquez and top-100 […]
Alex Call 2026 salary arbitration preview
Three of the four Dodgers eligible for salary arbitration this offseason are relief pitchers, with outfielder Alex Call the outlier as the only position player in the bunch. With two years, 161 days of major league service time, Call is eligible for salary arbitration for the first time as a Super Two player. That distinction […]
Dodgers notes: Tarik Skubal, Cody Bellinger, Shohei Ohtani
Spring training is not too far in the distance with the Dodgers having their first cactus league game in seven weeks against the Angels. With plenty of star talent still available for the taking both in the open market and on the trade block, the Dodgers are playing with precious time to complete their offseason […]
Breaking down the 2026 Dodgers schedule for value
The 2025 season is over, and the Dodgers are champions — again! Neat. We have finished signing Auld Lang Syne, and it’s time to turn the page! Schedule-release videos are common and popular in other leagues, such as the National Football League. However, in 2025, MLB and the Dodgers inadvertently released the 2026 schedule on […]
Brusdar Graterol 2026 salary arbitration preview
Salary arbitration season is upon us, with the exchange date coming next Thursday, January 8. Among the four Dodgers eligible for arbitration this offseason, Brusdar Graterol has the easiest salary to predict. Brusdar Graterol did not pitch at all during 2025 as he recovered from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. […]
Dodgers notes: Bo Bichette update, Tatsuya Imai to Astros
Although the offseason is now two months through, there is still a plethora of major talent still waiting on where their careers will take them next. Outfielders Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, who are at the cream of the crop for free agents at their position, still don’t have a home for the 2026 season. […]
Dodgers 2026 salary arbitration preview
Season reviews are now complete, with 73 players covered, and what better way to usher in 2026 than to look ahead to salary arbitration, with the exchange deadline coming next week. The Dodgers have four players on the roster eligible for salary arbitration this year. That’s down from nine players at the beginning of the […]
Auld Lang Syne
Today, we say goodbye to 2025. For most people, they can hardly say good riddance to this year (or the past few years) quickly or loudly enough. Personally, I have had trouble letting go of this year, a problem I have not had since my inaugural season of travel as an amateur in 2021. Back […]
2025 Dodgers season review: Yoshinobu Yamamoto
From Tokyo to Toronto, this season belonged to Yoshinobu Yamamoto. In my view, both as a journalist and as a traveling correspondent, Yamamoto was the best pitcher in MLB in 2025, with no disrespect to either Cy Young winner. He was the Dodgers’ Rock of Gibraltar. He threw the first pitch of the season in […]
Andrew Heaney retires
Andrew Heaney made a brief stop with the Dodgers in 2025 before hitting free agency. The veteran left-hander announced his retirement on his social media pages on December 28. Andrew Heaney’s second (or third, depending on your point of view) stint with the Dodgers was extremely brief, signing a minor league deal for the final […]
Dodgers notes: Andruw Jones, Dodger debut seasons, front office rankings
It’s all silent on the Western front as we approach 2026. The Dodgers are in a brief period of hibernation, as the sleeping giant waits to pounce at the right opportunity once the new year begins. But, for now, the wait persists, and the patience of fans eager to see a blockbuster move done with […]
2025 Dodgers player season reviews
The Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025 played the longest season in MLB history, starting their schedule on March 18 in Japan and ending it on November 1 in Canada while winning Game 7 of the World Series. Here we look back at the season by chronicling every single player who spent any time on the […]
Kirby Yates signs 1-year, $5 million contract with the Anaheim Angels
Kirby Yates struggled in his one year with the Dodgers in a season marred by injuries and underperformance. The longtime reliever found a new home for his age-39 season, signing with the Anaheim Angels on a one-year, $5 million contract on December 30. Yates signed a one-year, $13 million contract with the Dodgers in January […]
2025 Dodgers season review: Will Smith
Will Smith was one of the best offensive catchers during the 2025 regular season, as he was named to his third consecutive NL All-Star team and even registered some MVP votes. Despite suffering a hand injury that wiped out his final month of the regular season, he made his return in the postseason and delivered […]
