Last year, The Athletic’s Keith Law rated the Dodgers’ farm system the third-best in the game. Not bad, considering they haven’t had a top-10 pick since 2006 or a top-five choice since 1993. That is an amazing thing. The Freddy Peralta Rumors won’t go away. What will it take to…
It was both surprising and not surprising to me that the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker. That they can make it work is a tribute to the true genius of Mark Walter and Andrew Friedman. Enjoy it while you can, because it will end soon. In the upcoming CBA and talks among owners, MLB…
Last year, Andrew Friedman said he did not want to wait until the trade deadline and then overpay for players to improve the team. That is what he thought as he signed Michael Conforto, Kirby Yates, and Tanner Scott in the offseason, all of whom were major trainwrecks. He also…
Got a gift from a friend, a book called, “The Baseball Hall of Shame.” There are some very amusing stories in it pertaining to major league baseball. Some involve some of the better players who ever played the game. And some involve guys you might never have heard of. So here…
I read today on MLBTR that there have been some discussions about having an in-season baseball tournament. I see no need for this myself. Isn’t that what the post-season is all about? The best in baseball playing each other? Besides, they already have the WBC once every three…
I thought about breaking this down into two posts: The Starting Pitchers and the Relief Pitchers, but they are so intertwined that I did not think that was prudent. However, before I get into that, Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette are still unsigned – their markets simply have not…
You Can’t Consider CF without Considering RF I don’t think we see what the final alignment of the outfield will be at this time. A move or “moves” have to be made: Kyle Tucker is a long shot. The Dodgers (rightfully) have little interest in Cody Bellinger. Luis Robert, Jr. and…
Two straight. Can they make it three? That is the question that every single Dodger fan hopes ends with a hell yes. I sincerely hope they do, but I take a cautious approach to saying stuff like that out loud since I know it is not that easy to repeat, let alone make it back to…
2025 is History. 2026 is a Mystery. Today is a Gift – That’s why they call it the present. — Mike Ditka (but I am sure someone else much smarter said it first. ) The Dodgers will be set for 2026 and another World Championship IF they just do this: Trade with the Red Sox for…
Barring injury, third base should be easy. Left field is more nuanced. Third Base This one is easy – write Max Muncy’s name on the lineup card. Well, that is, unless there is a tough LHP on the mound or he is injured. In his first five full seasons with the Dodgers, Max averaged…
Today, we will focus our sights on 2B and SS. We will look at potential trades, free-agent signings, and minor-league prospects. Here we go… Second Base Perhaps there is no other position in which the Dodgers could upgrade through trade or free agency than 2B. Bo Bichette…
Starting today, I will preview a couple of positions a day as we approach 2026. I am going to focus on what could happen at the positions, possible trades, and possible prospects at those positions. Here we go. No surprises here. Catcher Players who could see time here: Will…
