MLB.com just came out with their first 2025 Power Rankings, and to no one’s surprise, the Dodgers are #1. The Phillies are #2, and the Yankees are #3. They said this about the Dodgers: 1. Dodgers (previously: 1) The Dodgers are basking in the warm glow of their World Series win…
I don’t mean financially… I mean offensively! I don’t think it is any secret that he’s no power hitter. But he is a defensive wizard. I don’t know if I believe all the rumors, like Lux to the Yankees, but I do think it is a possibility that Hyeseong Kim could be the Dodgers’…
A few days ago, Jeff Dominique thanked me on his blog ( www.LaDodgerChronicles.com) for just passing on some information from Bear (Michael Norris) to him. It was not even a big deal. Just something you do for a friend. Michael did not have Jeff’s phone number and did not have…
Spring Training will be upon us soon enough. I had started by covering a couple of new and upcoming prospects, namely, Wyatt Crowell and Luke Fox . But, there are a lot more to cover and I had better get busy. Today, we are going to discuss some players taken in the 2024 Amateur…

Many Dodger fans are worried that Mookie Betts will be a problem at SS. Some are begging the Dodger to put his back at RF or 2B. That is not going to happen. Mookie says that the infield is easier on his body as he does not have to run as much and walk out to the furthest part…
Teoscar Hernandez is back… on an alleged three-year deal with a guaranteed $66 Million. It includes a $23 Million Signing Bonus and has $23 Million Deferred (like AF wanted). It also includes an option for a 4th year at $15 million. This is alleged, but the Dodger now have a…
It seems to many Dodger fans that Walker Buehler won 200 games and three Cy Youngs as a Dodger. The fact is: he won 47 games in his 7 years with the Dodgers, with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.090 WHIP. His best season was 2021, where he went 16-4 with a 2.47 ERA and a .0968 WHIP. He…
Even though, he is not technically a prospect, James Outman, who spent most of 2024 at AAA has to be at the top of this list. In fact, I think this is a “make or break” year for James. There are a few other players who could make an impact for the Dodgers in 2025, but I think we…
Nolan Arenado, the former All-Star and Gold Glove Cardinal third-baseman, blocked a trade to Houston yesterday. There is evidently a list of teams to which he would accept a trade and the Dodgers are on the list. Before we say anything, let’s consider that from 2015 through…
By the way, Michael Norris, aka/Bear, wished you all a Happy Holiday Season. He was visiting his sister in California and developed an infection. Fortuneately, his sister is a nurse and is taking care of him until be can get well. He is planning to catch a game in Chicago this…
This is a busy week as I am going into the office everyday. My son is on vacation and I have to try and take his place. So this will be short and sweet. I have tickets to Spring Training on February 20, 22 and 23, 2025. JayB sent me some gift cards for his Pizza Restaurants (…
