For about a year, I have been predicting that Shohei Ohtani will not be a Dodger. Until proven wrong, I stand by that… STILL! On November 11th, I wrote this: “ Everyone seems to revere Ohtani as “God-like,” and while he is an amazing talent, I think any team that is determined…
I keep hearing Dodger fans begging for Jordon Montgomery. Do they even realize he is a #3 starter… at best? Come on, man! Someone is going to give him about $170 Million, and I hope it is not the Dodgers. I’ll take Imanaga for $80 Million, please! Maybe the MLB needs to do what…
If Shohei Ohtani signs with the Dodgers, they absolutely, positively have to go ALL IN! Gut the farm, mortgage the future – it’s Win Now! That’s the Mantra! The infield is set, as well as the starting catcher. gut the farm – get Cease and Robert, Jr. from the White Sox. How…

Baseball’s Winter Meetings are right around the corner. They start on Sunday, December 3rd, and run through Wednesday, December 6th. This year, the Winter Meetings are held in Nashville, Tennessee at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. This is the Fifth time since…
Many fans around today know little of the game of baseball’s history. Its past is filled with colorful characters. Some performed at levels today’s stars will never reach, especially on the pitching side of the game. It is a safe bet that no one ever approaches 511 wins. I would…
At first blush, those are three things that are not the same… and as you suspect, they are not. Let’s talk about them one at a time. However, before I go there, let’s discuss what team is the best-run franchise in baseball, courtesy of Ken Rosenthal. You already know the answer…
I swear that some of the incoherent ramblings I read from some Dodger fans should be prefaced with “ Here’s Johnny! ” First, we hear that the Dodgers need more pitching – of course, even Ray Charles can see that! Fans get excited when they hear that the Dodgers might be in on…
