Camelback Ranch Now Open
The doors are getting oiled so that they can swing open. I have tickets for games on February 24th and 26th. I will be in Glendale that whole week. They have a strict list of what you can take and what you can’t take inside, and these guys are trained ICE agents (I am only…
The doors are getting oiled so that they can swing open.
I have tickets for games on February 24th and 26th. I will be in Glendale that whole week. They have a strict list of what you can take and what you can’t take inside, and these guys are trained ICE agents (I am only slightly kidding), who have no sense of humor and are strictly by the book. Here’s the list of what you can and can’t take in:
If you haven’t been there, here are a few pics for your perusal:
Here I am getting ready to strike the late Roger Dodger with my 36 MPH fastball. It was easy since he had a “phantom” bat. Maybe these photos will get you in the mood. I have lots more.
More from Dodger Talk
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
I posted it yesterday. Check above.
The Dodgers extend Max and sign Kiki and nothing from you guys? AVF? Bear? Dodgerdad? Matt? Come on guys I need my Dodger analysis fix!
Am I the only one who gets nervous when Vesia goes on the mound?
02/12/26 Los Angeles Dodgers placed RHP Evan Phillips on the 60-day injured list. Right forearm discomfort.
I wouldnt bet against him. Hes a DOG!
One of the BEST days of the year! Pitchers and catchers report. The journey begins to a three peat. AF has done his job, now it is up to the players to execute the plan and perform. This year’s team is much better and more complete than the 2 previous World Series teams.
I wouldn’t say a lot of power.
I’ll take that bet
The Dodgers signed Keyston Hiura to a minor league contract per MLBTR. 29-year-old was a top prospect at one time. First baseman with a lot of power and a very high K rate.
Cal Raleigh 60 home runs? I doubt he’ll hit more than 20. Last season was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments for the entire Seattle team. Be grateful if they make the playoffs again!
For clarity’s sake, no actual money exchanged hands; rather, the Twins shrunk their league-allotted spending limit by $500K, while the Dodgers’ limit correspondingly increases by $500K.In simple terms the Dodger’s International Signing Pool for 2026 increased by $500k to sign players in the Banda trade
Always liked him
The Phillies have released outfielder Nick Castellanos, per a club announcement. He’s now a free agent who can sign with any club for the league minimum.
Dodgers sign Keston Hiura to minor league deal, per reports
He goes over the magic 10/5 year threshold halfway through this year and gets to reject a trade. Good for him.
Muncy just got a year extension with a 3 mil buyout for 2028. Also he goes over the 10year and 5year threshold mid season. No trades without his approval.
Excited to see the outfielders performance and see who might get a roster spot. Performance probably won’t matter as much as who can be sent down and who can’t.
The Twins have acquired veteran left-hander Anthony Banda from the Dodgers, reports Dan Hayes of The Athletic. Minnesota is sending international bonus space back to L.A. in return. Banda had been designated for assignment by the Dodgers last week. Righty Jackson Kowar has been designated for assignment to open a 40-man spot for Banda, Hayes adds.
Dodgers’ pitchers and catchers OFFICIALLY report tomorrow. Players on the 40 man roster can be placed on the 60 Day IL which opens up rosters spots. If a player is placed on the 60 Day IL ,the earliest that player can play in a game is May 24th.
The Dodgers announced Thursday that they’ve agreed to a one-year contract extension with third baseman Max Muncy. He’s now guaranteed an additional $10MM in the form of a $7MM salary in 2027 and a $3MM buyout on a $10MM club option for the 2028 campaign. Muncy is repped by Hub Sports Management.
Dodgers To Re-Sign Kiké Hernández It’s a one-year, $4.5MM deal, reports Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Muncy gets a very team friendly extension that buys them time until Morales is ready to be the man at 3rd. Kike coming back too
He’s NOT signed because he’s all done! He couldn’t even make our stacked bullpen right now.
Why isint Buehler signed yet? Lets bring him back for the Pen…..and maybe spot starts….
I only say good things about people who are gone: He’s gone – Good!
