The Randy Arozarena Rumors Won’t Go Away
Three Problems:
- The Rays are not sellers (yet);
- The Dodgers need help in CF, not LF; and
- The Rays are not Sellers (yet).
Brent Rooker Makes Miguel Vargas Look LIke a Gold Glover
Brent Rooker might be a nice DH, but he makes Miggy Vargas look like a Gold Glove LF. Hard NO!
Do Not Put Any Trust in Rumors
Especially rumors put out by fish hacks. And we are all fish hacks. Believe it when it is announced. For the record, I would not pay the prospect collateral required for Crochet, Skubal, and even Flaherty. It will come down to a bidding war and may require a lot more prospects than expected. I am of the opinion that the Dodgers can stand down… unless they can steal Bellinger!
Family Time
Of course, my wife is from San Francisco, and this week, we have family from SF in town, and I have been spending a lot of time enjoying the “pool view:”
At any rate, to a person, the people who live in SF and there are seven (to a person) say San Francisco is a “shithole” (not my words… theirs). Several are actually moving here. It’s sad what has happened to that city and yet people try and convince you that you should not trust your “lying eyes”! That was my opinion and my wife’s opinion as well. She says, “They ruined my city!”

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
Taylor injured and it doesn’t look good. Biggio replaces him. Dodgers might need a bench piece at the deadline. Ohtani still chases that high strike too much. At least they won’t get no-hit.
Yep Bear,
Looks to be a right quad or groin from what’s Orel thought.
This has got to be the end for Ramirez
Buehler (hip) said Wednesday that he will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
“Buehler added that he felt good following his bullpen session Tuesday, so he will now advance to facing minor-league hitters. The plan is for the 29-year-old right-hander to rejoin the Dodgers’ rotation once he’s made two rehab starts in Triple-A, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, putting Buehler in line to return sometime during the Dodgers’ early-August series against the Phillies”.
An easy prediction today:
Yohan Ramírez is finally DFA off the 26 and 40 man rosters and Kershaw added to both for his start against the Midgets today.
