Latest news and updates about the Dodgers
The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]

It was a foregone conclusion that the Cubs were not going to bring back outfielder Kyle Tucker. For whatever reason, they showed little interest in bringing him back. The Cubs instead pivoted to a major signing of third baseman Alex Bregman, which you know all about by now. But it is a minor surprise that […]

Kyle Tucker has signed a four-year, $240 million contract with the Dodgers. That’s $60 million a year, which seems almost insane to me. The rumour was the the Jays offered a long term contract, but I’m sure not at $60 million per year. That would be a hard number to turn down. Such is life […]

Following a dismal season, and a brief period of reflection, the Washington Commanders quickly parted ways with Kliff Kingsbury.

The hot stove is beginning to sizzle again, and some notable moves took place that could shake up the free agent market. Third baseman Alex Bregman will play for his third team in as many year, as he agreed to a five-year, $175 million with the Chicago Cubs on Saturday. The move by Chicago all […]

The Chicago Cubs have added outfielder Justin Dean to the 40-man roster, claiming him off of waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he just picked up a ring. Although it has hardly been a concern that rose to the level of anything on the Major League roster, it’s been hard not to notice the extreme need in the outfield at Triple-A Iowa. Thanks to graduations and trades, the Cubs entered the offseason with just one minor league outfielder on the Iowa roster. That outfielder, Parker Ch...

Meet the Mets Along with the Dodgers and the Blue Jays, the Mets have met with free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker either in person or via Zoom. It’s going to be a hard task for Juan Soto to improve his outfield defense, but would you really put it past him to figure out how to […]
