As many consider bullpen reinforcements a top need for the Dodgers, they are among the teams showing interest in free agent reliever Blake Treinen, according to Jorge Castillo. The Dodgers have expressed interest in Blake Treinen, per source. Treinen was arguably the best reliever in baseball in 2018 before struggling in 2019. The A’s non-tendered […] 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
One area that was a letdown for the Dodgers in the 2019 playoffs was the fact they didn’t have a true fourth starter. They ended up using an injured Rich Hill as the starter in game 4 against Max Scherzer. Hill ended up only getting 8 outs in his start while giving up 1 run. […] More
Houston Astros flame thrower Gerrit Cole is doing something that the Dodgers aren’t doing right now… he’s still playing baseball. As we sit and gear up for the off-season, the thought shifts to him potentially playing baseball for Los Angeles next season. The 29 year-old is reportedly a fan of the west coast, and California […] More
The playoffs haven’t even begun but free agency rumor season is already underway and the Dodgers are back in the headlines.

The Dodgers’ 8-7 comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday was euphoric in a special way, and feels like the kind that sets the tone for a special season. Cody Bellinger continued to show MVP potential, A.J. Pollock proved everyone (myself included) wrong yet again, and the offense showed versatility and relentlessness all around. […] More
Just when you thought it had been truly laid to rest, Bryce Harper to the Dodgers chatter is back. Sources: The Dodgers are back in the mix for Bryce Harper. Club officials, including manager Dave Roberts, were seen in Las Vegas on Sunday. https://t.co/cBRqZx4kOO — Jesse Sanchez (@JesseSanchezMLB) February 25, 2019 Apparently the Dodgers 2-0 […] More
This week on the podcast Machado is a Padre, Puig made some questionable statements to Cincinnati media, and baseball could be heading toward a work stoppage. But first we remember Don Newcombe, a Dodger legend we lost ahead of episode 42 of the podcast. Thank you to our sponsor at the Arizona board of tourism! […] More
A.J. Pollock is still available and the Dodgers might be interested in him. #Dodgers are indeed in discussions with Pollock, sources tell The Athletic. https://t.co/lQ43rtlbTI — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) January 19, 2019 I then ran a poll, with an assist from Dodgers Nation, about the fans feelings about the Dodgers acquiring Pollock. You are welcome […] More
The talk for a good amount of the offseason has been about the Dodgers need for a right-handed bat. Of course, that talk became more frequent after the team traded right handed bats in Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig. While the spotlight has been shined at Bryce Harper since that trade — and trust that […] More
The off-season rumor mill was rocked with a tweet by Buster Olney about the White Sox offer to Manny Machado. The White Sox offer to Machado is for $175 million, over seven years. In some ways, their approach is like Boston's w/ J.D. Martinez last winter — the Red Sox offered $100 million and waited […] More
One of the topics to look at for why free agency in 2019 is slow is the impact of the qualifying offer (QO). Both the 2018 and 2019 off-seasons have been very slow and this article will look at how the QO might be a factor. Background First off, what is a Qualifying Offer? It […] More
