It’s almost a foregone conclusion that when Dodgers spring training camp in Glendale Arizona open that at least one or two guys will get hurt, be sore, or not report on time. Baseball imitates life. It’s the chaos theory proven at Camelback Ranch. Murphy’s law my friends. So when reports

If you don’t know how Andrew Friedman works by now, then I might not be able to help you. I mean I’ll still try and help you, but you’ll end up feeling lost and frustrated by the results. That’s how the Dodgers offseason has felt thus far, but I digress. The

I was listening to the radio the other day, and the topic of conversation was the Dodgers. More specifically about the 2018 World Series, and even more specifically game 4 of the 2018 World Series. I’m sure you all remember the horrible outcome of that game. That was the game

After the Dodgers acquired former catcher Russell Martin from the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday afternoon many Dodger fans and media members pontificated that trading for Martin could possibly be part of something bigger. That maybe the Dodgers would include Martin in another trade for say JT Realmuto. Well I

Yesterday I wrote this article, and I probably shouldn’t write when I’m annoyed. I think some context is needed here. The Dodgers are still a very good talented ballclub. They’re well-run most of the time. Sometimes they make stupid decisions but for the most part the Dodgers are a deep and

It’s almost Thanksgiving which means the hot stove should be well underway. Unfortunately it’s not. As usual the Dodgers have done very little to nothing in terms of adding players for next year’s roster. The Dodgers still need a new GM, hitting coach, third base coach, starting catcher, and starting

I'm assuming at some point before spring training camps break they will hire a GM. Far be it from me to say the Dodgers haven’t done anything this winter. After another agonizing World Series defeat, (this time to the Boston Red Sox in five games) the Dodgers did resign Clayton

The Dodgers are without a starting catcher right now after Yasmani Grandal declined the 17.9 million dollar qualifying offer from the Dodgers in order to test the free agent market. That makes Grandal an unrestricted free agent and the Dodgers a restricted team without a primary backstop. This is a
