More moves by Andrew Friedman… that’s what! Will they be sooner… or later? I smell a big one coming very soon! I think that by the weekend, Friedman has to decide if he is going to pull the trigger on Yamamoto, Burnes, or Cease. I believe that it is critical he gets one of the…
“Miguel Vargas only hit .195 and was a colossal failure in 2023. Michael Busch did even worse. The Dodgers need to do better in 2024 than Vargas and Busch!” — Actual Quote from an Actual Moron! DISCLAIMER: No Morons were injured during the production of this blog! I was…
As you may remember, many months ago, I posted an article about Former Dodger Minor League Manager Mark Kertenian. You can find that Article HERE . Here is his GoFundMe Page , which, by the way, did reach its goal of $150,000.00 Here is his latest update: Today by John Murphy…
With the Dodgers no longer in the market for a Designated Hitter, I am sure that the Giants and Diamondbacks will be looking at JD Martinez and Justin Turner, and I would not be surprised to see both in the NL West next year. Also, with Ohtani in the fold, look for the Dodgers…
I find it humorous that some of you think I was hiding yesterday after the Ohtani signing was announced. I would urge you not to judge me by your proclivity to hide when you are faced with what you may believe is adversity. First of all, this is baseball… not real life! Nobody…
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…
Speculation is rampant. The rumors are swirling. For baseball writers, “breaking a story” is a badge of honor and akin to winning the Writers’ World Series, so sometimes they see a story… even when there is none. So far, no significant deals or signings have occurred unless the…
We have already talked about the significance of the Winter Meetings beginning today in Nashville. I feel the odds are pretty good that by tomorrow, there may be some significant movement, but you can never be sure. Any team is one blown-out elbow away from a ruined season. The…
I heard some commentators on MLB.Radio suggesting that the Dodgers may hit Ohtani with a deal like this: 2023: $45 Million 2024: $50 Million as long as he pitched a certain number of innings 2025: $55 Million with a higher number of innings and an opt-out You could continue on…
