Let’s talk about Terrance Gore for a minute. The Dodgers signed the speedster and base running specialist with one singular purpose in mind. That’s because the 28-year old outfielder is a terrible hitter. To be fair Gore only tallied no more than 5 plate appearances between 2014-2018 with the Royals

Let’s talk about top prospect Gavin Lux for a minute. I’m going to write an article that some may find unfavorable. As a matter of fact there may be some people who read this article and become seriously angry with me, perhaps irate. But I am fine with taking an

The latest PR generated Dodgers trade rumors now involve Boston Red Sox star and former American League MVP Mookie Betts.

Happy new year everyone! It’s now 2020, but the Dodgers are still operating like it’s 2019. I figured I would pop in and write another free form article about the Dodger’s lack of movement. I figure if I can convince one Andrew Friedman worshipper that he sucks then my job
