Since being named as the president of baseball operations for the Dodgers, Andrew Friedman has constantly been labeled as a “prospect hugger” by fans and analysts. That narrative couldn’t be further from the truth. Friedman has traded prospects often, whether it’s in the off-season or at the trade deadline. When people complain the Dodgers don’t […] More
I have a question. Will we look back in ten years and think that Trayce Thompson was one that got away? Was he a guy, like another toolsy outfielder I’ll bring up in a moment, we were fortunate enough to have on our roster, but couldn’t quite put it together (perhaps hampered by injury) until […] More
Time appeared to be running thin for Trayce Thompson in a Dodger uniform ten days ago. At that time, the Dodgers made it somewhat public that they would be looking to trade Thompson. It’s possible that the sands in the hourglass have run out on Thompson’s Dodgers career. Thompson was designated for assignment on Tuesday […] More
Recently, we discussed the log-jam of outfielders that the Dodgers have at their disposal. On his birthday, we took a look at what’s been going on with Trayce Thompson. He’s having a nice spring with little mention. It now appears that the next logical step in a big league career is taking form. Bill Shaikin […] More
When you think of a top 30 prospect within an organization, typically you know they are going to get at bats in Spring.

Spring Training for the Dodgers this year has been an interesting and exciting one. Many different story lines are taking place. From the questions about who will round out the bullpen, to the left-field quagmire, many questions remain unanswered. One question, in particular, may not be getting the attention it deserves. That would be, “what […] More
Just a quick Q&A with some of the best writers in the baseball world. Our very own Brian, Blake, and Brandon discuss the potential for the Dodgers 2018 season. What about the Dodgers has you the most excited or confident this year? Brian: Any time you’re coming off a 104 win season and bring back […] More
The time has arrived – Spring Training is finally here. After a long and painful off-season of remembering how close the Dodgers came to the promised land, baseball is back! Our Boys in Blue are back. And boy oh boy did they return with a flourish in their first game. After belting four home runs, […] More
It is Monday, and you know what that means: GM Mondays! In this series we are going to play the role of GM and analyze players, positions, etc. We will take an in-depth look at the team and diagnose whether something is a strength or not. If it is a weak area, we will also […] More
The postseason roster has not been announced yet, and the Dodgers have until Friday to release it. With that said, we now know some names who will definitely not be on it. Ken Gurnick of MLB.com tweeted on Wednesday that Rob Segedin, Trayce Thompson, Alex Verdugo, Edward Paredes, and Wilmer Font have been sent to […] More
Trayce Thompson was finally able to get his bat on his first Major League hit of 2017, Wednesday night against the Angels.
