As pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training for the Dodgers and other MLB teams, the Houston Astros had a press conference scheduled to address and formally apologize for cheating. As Spring Training represents the turning of a page to that of a new season, I was set to write a piece about me personally […] More
The Dodgers 2019 season ended in heartache with a NLDS Game 5 loss to the Washington Nationals, the team that would go on to win the World Series. Immediately fans began looking for some kind of consolation. Less than one week from Spring Training, we’re still waiting. Sadness Following the earlier-than-expected departure from the 2019 postseason, fans […] More
Despite the end result, the 2019 Los Angeles Dodgers 106 regular season wins was an impressive achievement. In any era, passing the century mark has long been a benchmark for great teams, but if the Dodgers are going to finally win the World Series, history will not be on their side. The Dodgers now have […] More
Christmas came and went quietly for Dodgers fans. Any that were like myself, spent a lot of time looking on Twitter for news on the potential Francisco Lindor & Mike Clevinger trade rumors. Well, no such luck. Those Christmas wishes of the Dodgers tipping the scales in their favor with a blockbuster trade are still […] More
It’s December 16, 2019. So far, the Dodgers have swung and missed on Stephen Strasburg, Gerrit Cole, Anthony Rendon, and Madison Bumgarner. All players the Dodgers were reportedly “in on” or “meeting with”. Why do the Dodgers struggle with trades? Why can’t they attract top-tier free agents? Is it simply greed and every team wants to […] More

This week the Dodgers were outbid by the Yankees in their pursuit of right-handed pitcher Gerrit Cole. Not exactly a shocker for Dodger fans. Since the start of the Friedman era, the Dodgers have yet to really outbid anyone, let alone the Yankees. They have typically opted to scrape the bargain bin for the diamond in the roughs. […] More
In my last article, I outlined the reasons third base is such a focus for the Dodgers to upgrade. Justin Turner’s defense has waned; his offense is good, but not great; and the Dodgers would like another power hitting right-handed batter in the line-up. While he’s not a right-handed hitter, moving Max Muncy to third […] More
My love and admiration for the best pitcher of my generation – both as a baseball player and as a person – is well known, and one of the few things in this often uncertain world I’m sure of. Fully aware that we are witnessing history and becoming more aware of the passing of time […] More
For all the trade talk surrounding the Dodgers this off-season, little has manifested. In fact, the biggest “splash” has been the re-signing of Rocky Gale to a minor league contract. So far, the big rumors have been the Dodgers targeting a right-handed power bat for third base. The domino effect would of course shift Justin Turner […] More
Since the 2019 season ended, much has been made about Corey Seager’s subpar, return-from-injury season. This has led fans and sports analysts to project him being traded for an upgrade at shortstop. Though options are available for an “upgrade”, the Dodgers should wait and give Seager another year to right the ship. Seager’s History Corey Seager […] More
