This off-season has been a relatively slow one on the whole. Many big name free agents are still unsigned. Players like Yu Darvish, Jake Arrieta, the trio of Royals free agents and JD Martinez, among others, are still without a team with only 3 weeks until pitchers and catchers report. However, one team in particular […] More
Andrew Friedman isn’t alone in his love for now-Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Logan Forsythe. The Memphis, Tennessee, native has been with the Tampa Bay Rays since 2014. He blossomed into a versatile, above-average offensive piece in their lineup. After Monday’s deal, he’ll be asked to continue that success on the west coast. The Rays’ […] More
Over the past four seasons, the Los Angeles Dodgers have had what many franchises would consider success. Unfortunately, the success is overshadowed by the “can’t win the big one” stigma. Ask the 1990s Atlanta Braves what that’s like, with 14 consecutive division crowns and only one championship to show for it. Ask the Utah Jazz […] More
The Los Angeles Dodgers are a trade rumor factory. It seems every media outlet has the Dodgers trading with every franchise nowadays. But one in particular is always brought up: the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Los Angeles Dodgers off-season has taken a wild turn with many trade rumors scattered around the majors.

Last week, we took a look at the potential 2017 roster for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Whether our predictions come to fruition has yet to be seen and will be that way for some time. What we want to do today is envision what might occur if the Dodgers do not sign any or some […] More
It’s easy playing armchair general manager; operating in a real front office is a tad more challenging. For the last month, names such as Chris Sale and Chris Archer have been connected to the Dodgers. What about the controversial acquisition of Ryan Braun or adding his teammate Jonathan Lucroy? Are Yasiel Puig’s days in L.A. […] More
The Dodgers have been reportedly interested in a number of player over the past couple of weeks. Most recently, sources have said the team’s been in talks with the Rays for starters Chris Archer and Matt Moore. There have also been reports that the Dodgers were talking to the Reds regarding Outfielder Jay Bruce. Along with the guys […] More
The last time the Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the Tampa Bay Rays from Aug. 9-11 of 2013, Don Mattingly was the manager, Matt Kemp was still a prominent force in the lineup, and Andrew Friedman had no idea that Chavez Ravine would be his stomping grounds in two seasons. What a difference a couple of years make. […] More
Chris Archer isn’t the only athlete who may be swapping Florida sun for California sun. Lost in the rumors of potential pitcher acquisitions were the reports of the Dodgers’ interest in Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria.
