Betts Price are Dodgers
I have no clue what the deal is, but allegedly Alex Verdugo is headed to the Red Sox. I am not excited or unexcited either. More to come! Bumsrap will be upset because Joc Pederson is gone. This is a blockbuster!

Dodgers Food Trailer
I did this interview a couple of weeks ago with Chef Mike, who runs the Dodgers Food Trailer for the Great Lakes Loons. They are there for every home and road regular season and playoff game. They prepare three meals a day for approximately 50 people (players and coaches). Since games end late most evenings, they do not prepare breakfast. Many of their hotels have a complimentary breakfast anyway. However,…
Meet LAD 2026 Draft Picks 1-12
3 picks were High School players (2 SS and 1 OF). There was a college OF, college catcher, college SS, and 10 college pitchers. Of all the talk for a need for a catcher, the only catcher the Dodgers selected was Luke Bard, son of LAD bullpen coach Josh Bard. Bard was a 4th year senior from Houston Christian University. He is not a prospect, so the Dodgers are still…
Interview with Paul Beachy – Team Bus Driver For The Great Lakes Loons (LA Dodgers Minor League Team)
It’s been a few days since I did this interview. We have evidently been working my son-in-law (the video guy) like a rented mule at US Water Systems. However, I am taking him to London with me in a few days, so maybe Watford will buy him a pint as a tip, but he’s a dang Red Sox fan, so there is that! I thought that it would be interesting…
Thanks for Your Service: Chris Taylor
I was going to do this post when Chris announced he was retiring, then he changed his mind, but since the chances of him ever playing for the Dodgers again are slim and non-existent, I will go ahead with this post. He unretired, went on the IL, then decided to call it quits on May 24th. Taylor was born in Virginia Beach VA on August 29th, 1990. He attended Great…

Disagree, not disagreeable
Vassegh says that’s it. The Dodgers acquired Graterol for Maeda then sent Graterol and Verdugo for Price and Mookie. Joc then expected to go Angels for Rengifo.
Thank you Joc for some great moments. Loved your boyhood enthusiasm for the game and all the post season drama! You will be missed and I will continue to wear your jersey proudly!
It is great to get Betts. Let’s hope we an sign him for many years. I am not thrilled to have to take Price, but for half the salary, it is not too bad. Is that for the rest of his three years on his contract? As far as Pederson, that is not an even trade, but perhaps we are trying to stay under the luxury tax, or just save some money after picking up significant contracts, and we figure he is gone after next year. Still, he had value for this year, or at the trade deadline, and they could have platooned him again. Now we are pretty short of outfielders.
I have no idea about Rengifo, but it doesn’t sound like he is too helpful. The key to all of this is signing Betts, and I hope that we are confident of that, because of we don’t, we will have holes in the outfield. Sign Betts, and we will have one of the best lineups in baseball. Things look more exciting for the upcoming season, and I think we needed this.
I can’t figure how the Padres couldn’t beat this deal.
I mean it’s obvious the RedSox purpose in this deal was shedding salary.
Verdugo is a very good young player, Graterol is #83 overal prospect. But we traded away one of the best players AND shelled out circa $50M on Price.
Feel like return should have been much better
This is what patience gets us Dodger fans well done AF
An amazing set of trades for Dodgers.
I’m also a Sox fan and while the return is good. I don’t get why you every trade Betts. Fucking owners and the CBT
But I love the Boston deal. Hate to lose Verdugo but just him and An unhappy Maeda for Betts and a half priced Price. No Downs no Gray no Gonsolin no Ferguson no Ruiz! Masterful job by AF! Well done!
Luis Rengifo? That’s all they could get for Joc? I’m not happy if that is accurate.
Sorry but I don’t get the Joc trade! Do we really need another utility infielder?
Is Luis Rengifo a decent player?
Brusdal Graterol going from the Twinkies to the Red Sox
Damn, loved Joc!
I don’t like sending Joc to the Angels to play AJ, but exciting news.
I thought it might be a three way deal. Holy moly!
May not involved.
Wow!
Maeda traded to Boston with Verdugo. May not involved.
I guess the flood gates opened. I hope we go to bed knowing all the moving parts. Interested in what the Twins are getting. And what the Angels are sending back for Joc.
Hearing Twins might be involved in a 3-way. Hearing Joc may get sent to Angels. Hearing May was involved in the deal. Nothing confirmed.
Joc traded to Anaheim
