What if the Dodgers could acquire an impact bat? You might as well put on your nightcap get ready for bed and dreeaaaaaaam…..dream dream dream…..dreaaaaaaaam….because the idea that Andrew Friedman would actually acquire a true star impact player is normally a pipe dream. Sure he did acquire Manny Machado this

The probability of the Dodgers acquiring a catcher with good skills on both sides of the ball is razor thin. The free agent market is less than appealing and anyone not named J.T. Realmuto isn’t worth trading valuable resources for. Of the guys available on the free agent market none

Bobbleheads have become a hot item in Dodger land over the past several seasons. They’ve caught fire across all sports actually, but nowhere more than Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers now regularly feature ten or more bobblehead nights at Chavez Ravine per season. Every important Dodger throughout the years has had

The Dodgers announced they have flipped infielder/outfielder Tim Locastro to the New York Yankees in exchange for minor league right hander Drew Finley. Locastro was one of three players the Dodgers recently designated for assignment in order to clear roster space to protect several prospects from the rule 5 draft.

It appears my fear of the Dodgers not participating in free agency this winter is slowly but surely becoming a reality. This evening the Dodgers announced the additions of several prospects to the 40-man roster to protect them from the upcoming rule 5 draft. Several players were designated for assignment

The hot stove portion of the winter is well underway folks. Once again we’re hearing all kinds of rumors of the Dodgers being in on certain free agents and as usual nothing ever comes to fruition. The most hilarious connections are the links to Bryce Harper. There are still people,

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

It’s no secret that the Dodgers had bullpen problems in 2018. The Dodgers restructured their bullpen late in the season but relief pitching was still an issue even in the postseason. The Dodgers could certainly use some help in this area for 2019. Looking at the free agent market this

The Dodgers offered qualifying offers to two of their free agents this winter. Left handed starter Hyun-jin Ryu was one of them. The other was catcher Yasmani Grandal. While it is expected that Grandal will reject the offer to test the free agent market, reports are indicating that Ryu will

The Dodgers have a lot of work to do this winter. They need a new general manager, new hitting coach, new third base coach, a new second baseman and possibly a new catcher. Their laundry list of needs seems to grow bigger each day. That’s a big holiday shopping list.

The Dodgers extended the 17.9 million dollar qualifying offer to catcher Yasmani Grandal, but it’s expected that he is going to decline. Doing so would make the Dodger backstop an unrestricted free agent. We don’t know if the Dodgers would resign him. If the Dodgers don’t resign Grandal and he

The Dodgers just lost the World Series less than two weeks ago, but some of the oddsmakers already have them favored to win it all in 2019. Sure the Dodgers need a new general manager, hitting coach, third base coach, and possibly a starting catcher, but they are one of

The 2019 Dodgers could look very different than the 2018 version. If anything, the Dodgers will have some vacancies not only on their coaching staff, but possibly in their front office as well. Despite this, and the Dodgers losing the World Series for the second consecutive season, an extension with

One of the Dodgers biggest needs coming into the winter is of course second base. The Dodgers started the 2018 season with Logan Forsythe tabbed to be their everyday man at the keystone. Unfortunately Logan was terrible and the Dodgers eventually traded him to the Twins for Brian Dozier who
