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 should start with James because he has already played in the…
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 2019, Nolan hit an average of 39.8 HR’s a year and had an average OPS of .937. Them there are superstar numbers! He…
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 summer and I said that I would love to meet up with him. I have a lot going on…
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 (the Mellow Mushroom) and so I will have to use those too. Thank…
I think every Dodger fan wants Teoscar Hernandez back. As we have talked about ad nauseum, there are market forces that could de-rail that. Then, it is time to punt and move to Plan B, which very well could be Luis Robert, Jr. He has All-Star potential and a M.A.S.H. unit injury history… but he’s just 27-years-old. If the Dodgers don’t sign Teoscar Hernandez in the next few days, I…
Let me start with the fact that he wants to be a Dodgers and the Dodgers would like him back! Let me also add that last season he did not sign until Janualry 17th! I want to make it clear that this is a business and if some team offers just two or three million dollars more than the Dodgers, Teo is obligated to himself, his family and the MLBPA…
(I spelled it wrong deliberately). Well, the Dodgers were serious about signing Juan Soto… untill the bidding got over $600 Million. That was when they punted. I agree… I don’t think he is worth a penny over $599 Million! The Dodgers then signed Michael Comforto to a one-year deal, presumeably to platoon with Andy Pages in RF. I think that was an excellent move. The Dodgers do not want Teoscar…
This time last year, the Dodgers said Gavin Lux would be the SS. I said NO… Actually, I said “HELL NO!” Gavin Lux will be a SS as soon as I am a genius! Nuff said! Yesterday, multiple Dodger sources said that Mookie Betts was going to play SS for the Dodgers in 2025. For one, I am excited for that. Mookie can play whereever he wants to play and…
The Mets had to sign Juan Soto to be the face of the franchise and Steve Cohen delivered. The Yankees have Aaron Judge. The Mets have to have “star power” to be relevant in NYC. Steve Cohen delivered… boy did he! MLBTR said it this way: MLB contract records were shattered Sunday evening, as the Mets reached an agreement on a stunning 15-year, $765MM deal with free agent superstar Juan Soto,…
