A fan of the Dodgers since 1973 since I got my first baseball cards while living in Long Beach. I came to San Diego for college and never left nor did I ever switch my Dodgers' allegiance. Some know me as the "sweater guy". #ProspectHugger
The Winter Meetings start on Sunday in San Diego and many of us are hoping the Dodgers can make some improvements. The Dodgers, as currently constituted, are already a very good team. However, we all saw them lose in game 5 of the National League Division Series (NLDS) to the Nationals. We then saw the […] More
After the non-tender deadline came and went on Monday, many new free agents found themselves on the open market. One new free agent is Yimi Garcia, who will not be back with the Dodgers in 2020. This leaves the Dodgers 40-man roster at 39 as of this writing. Players that are non-tendered are rarely a […] More
It looks like the A’s cannot afford to keep Blake Treinen and probably won’t offer him a contract before the deadline of December 2. Treinen, who was elite in 2018 but struggled in 2019 is projected to get $7.8M by MLB Trade Rumors in arbitration. The Dodgers have question marks at the closer spot with Kenley […] More
During the most recent episode of Dodgers Nation’s Blue Heaven Podcast, the conversation lit up when discussing recent rumors sparked by Ken Gurnick. The question was simple: Alex Verdugo for Corey Kluber, yay or nay? Verdugo for Kluber Yay or Nay? https://t.co/XUN9KikDh8 — Dodgers Nation (@DodgersNation) November 27, 2019 The question proved to be a […] More
The free agent class of relief pitchers could provide some help for the Dodgers. The best relief candidate, the other Will Smith, has already signed with the Braves for 3 years and $39M. Soon after the Braves followed that up by signing Chris Martin (not from Coldplay) for 2 years and $14M. There aren’t many […] More
There has been plenty of chatter about the Dodgers adding some big-name players either via trade or free agency. If the Dodgers go for one of the big fish like Gerrit Cole or Anthony Rendon, it will cost them ~$35M per year for the next 6-7 years. Players like Francisco Lindor or Mookie Betts would […] More
For the Dodgers ownership group and front office, there is some good news. Dodgers made it under the luxury tax. Let’s hope they are willing to go over if needed. https://t.co/s7TNMc4cpY — Tim Rogers – SDDODGER (@SDDodger) November 12, 2019 Some sites had the Dodgers going over the luxury tax by about $3 million. However, […] More
When the Guggenheim Baseball Management Group took over as the Dodgers’ ownership group in May of 2012, they brought plenty of optimism. The tradition of excellence continues with the Dodger greats of today. We are committed to building the next dynasty and strengthening Dodger pride. – Dodgers Ownership Statement from May 2, 2012 The previous […] More
All-Star third baseman Anthony Rendon is probably the most perfect fit for the Dodgers to hit free agency in quite a long time. Over and over again the LA offense has come up short in the postseason. The current offense is too left-handed and the defense at third base is slipping. Rendon would immediately change […] More
Other than a brief period in early May and the Joc Pederson at 1B era, the Dodgers infield defense didn’t seem to be much of a problem. A solid majority of fans seem to consider the 2019 infield defense to be about average with a meaningful group considering them at least above average. What did […] More
Joc Pederson is coming off his best season as a Dodger and is ready to make a lot of money in arbitration. He can also become a free agent after the 2020 season so this off-season could be a big one in regards to Joc. In this article we’ll take a look at the money […] More
Right after the Nationals beat the Astros in game 6 of the 2019 World Series I got a text from my wife: Why couldn’t Kershaw be more like Strasburg? And why can’t we get a Soto or Rendon? This truly cut to the heart of the matter with the Dodgers. Many players have have had […] More
