This is the strangest offseason I can remember in recent years for the boys in blue. They (Kind of) have multiple needs, but also have a lot of high-end talent in the upper minor leagues. They have payroll flexibility ranging from some, to quite a lot, depending on what happens…
Thirty years ago, the San Francisco Giants were in the midst of making their biggest free agent signing in franchise history. Barry Bonds, then 28 years old and coming off his second MVP season, would be signed to a then-massive $44 million, six-year contract that brought him to…
NOTHING! I don’t mean that they will do nothing, but it just will not be what you expect. There was a great article in THE ATHLETIC today (you can still subscribe for $1 a month right now), that most likely “perfectly describes” what Andrew Friedman is likely to do. It turns out…
Fight at Dodger Stadium between a Giants fan and a Dodger fan I got to thinking about this the other day after I saw a post on Twitter where a fan of another team, I think the Padres, was gleefully reveling in the fact that we had lost a pitcher to free agency with another team…

I am thankful to be a Dodger fan at the best time EVER in their storied history. It ain’t perfect, but it’s close! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!
When I was a kid, Wes Parker was definitely one of my favorites. The guy was absolutely the best defensive first baseman in the game, (Gold gloves for six consecutive years, 1967-1972). In 1970 he came into his own and hit .319 and knocked in 111 runs. He was popular, had movie…
I think Peanut has a point If you want to see fans lose their collective minds there is one place you absolutely have to visit. TWITTER. My foster father would have referred to it as a place where real twits go to meet. There are some intelligent posts there, don’t get me wrong…
Just how good were the Dodgers in 2022? Well, of course, they were bounced in the first round of the playoffs, so that is all many of us remember. However, a lot went wrong throughout the year. Consider this: How many teams could win 111 games and have their ACE pitch in just 11…
It’s always frustrating losing good, home-grown players to free agency especially when they’re well-liked and have put up huge numbers for the club. Cody Bellinger meets this criteria for some and doesn’t for others. He burst onto the scene in 2017 while arriving a year early by…
