What is the Los Angeles Dodgers’ biggest need heading into the trade deadline? Starting pitching? No, ironically enough, Los Angeles has actually gotten their starting lineup more or less in place, with the highly anticipated return of Blake Snell only strengthening the unit. How about their closer? Well, that, too, may soon be getting better […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers shut down Mookie Betts recently for an undisclosed reason. It’s not entirely clear what was going on with the veteran shortstop, but he needed some time away from the club. On Friday, manager Dave Roberts revealed Betts’ expected return date. Roberts claims that the 32-year-old slugger is currently in Nashville, Tennessee, […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been mentioned as a potential suitor for Emmanuel Clase, a star closer for the Cleveland Guardians. Reports have suggested that the Guardians plan to keep Clase, but perhaps the right trade offer will entice Cleveland. LA could use the bullpen upgrade, but it remains to be seen whether Cleveland will […]

As crazy as it may have sounded at the start of the 2024 MLB season, the Los Angeles Dodgers wouldn’t have won the World Series without Walker Buehler. Originally drafted by the team with the 24th overall selection of the 2015 MLB Draft, Buehler had season-ending Tommy John surgery in August of 2022 that cost […]

As the July 31 MLB trade deadline approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers are getting closer to a different kind of boost — key reinforcements from the injured list. Two of the most significant updates involve left-handed pitcher Blake Snell and infielder Max Muncy, both of whom are trending in the right direction and could rejoin […]

With the 2025 trade deadline cresting on the horizon, few teams draw the league’s attention quite like the Los Angeles Dodgers. A perennial contender with a willingness to explore bold, franchise-defining deals, the Dodgers now find themselves in a prime position to upgrade their already formidable rotation. The latest name to surface is Minnesota Twins […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have entered the season with a fortified bullpen. But as the MLB Trade Deadline looms, the Dodgers are not leaving anything to chance. In a proposed blockbuster ahead of the deadline, the Dodgers could land the Twins’ top two arms, Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax, along with utilityman Willi Castro. […]

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes has built an elite roster. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has made the most of it, despite their bullpen’s recent struggles. However, the Major League Baseball trade deadline gives them a chance to add to their wealth. For example, Kansas City Royals starter Seth Lugo would be an upgrade […]

It’s the same story every trade deadline: the Dodgers are lurking. This time, it’s Cleveland Guardians flamethrower Emmanuel Clase who’s being linked to Los Angeles, and the fit is as obvious as it is tantalizing. According to former GM and MLB insider Jim Duquette, “You know who has Clase written all over them? Dodgers.” The […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are sitting pretty in the National League West. After Dave Roberts secured a dramatic win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, the Dodgers’ lead grew to almost five games. However, the front office faces a tough decision ahead of the 2025 trade deadline with Dustin May. Now that Shohei Ohtani and […]

The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers are set up for a weekend series at Fenway Park. Both teams are wobbling after the All-Star Break, but it could be a World Series preview if the Sox get hot. Walker Buehler was on the Dodgers’ World Series team, getting the last out in 2024, and […]

Injuries have been a key culprit for why the Los Angeles Dodgers have performed slightly below their historic expectations so far this year. Los Angeles is still sitting pretty with a 60-43 record after a recent win over the Minnesota Twins, but they haven’t been quite as dominant as expected after their impressive offseason following […]

The 2015 National League Division Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets had a little bit of everything, including one controversial moment that cemented an already fierce rivalry. Former Dodgers second baseman Chase Utley recently spoke about his slide involving Ruben Tejada on Pardon My Take. “I’ve always gone in hard, and […]

As rumors surround the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline, the latest idea from ESPN theorizes an interesting trade to say the least when it comes to Cleveland Guardians star Steven Kwan. While the Dodgers look into who’s a fit with the trade deadline incoming, Kwan could be the piece that catapults the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers wrapped up their series against the Twins with a win. It was their first victory since the MLB All-Star break. Shohei Ohtani has made slugging a nightly spectacle in L.A.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are seeking relievers ahead of next week’s MLB trade deadline, and they might have to part with one of their more available starting pitchers in order to acquire help. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal recently reported that the Dodgers could consider trading starter Dustin May. It is not the first time that […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers finally eked out their first series win since the 2025 MLB All-Star break after winning two of three games against the Minnesota Twins. That series ended on Wednesday with LA superstar Shohei Ohtani scoring the game-winning run in the ninth inning after getting intentionally walked. It was not just any other […]

While it’s the offseason for the New York Knicks, guard Josh Hart has a lot of free time to do anything. That includes loitering on social media and seeing a glorious video of Los Angeles Dodgers utility player Kike Hernandez. The Dodgers faced the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. With the summer heat […]

When the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired and then extended Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays, he was supposed to be a major addition to their pitching arsenal. A certified big game pitcher who was wasting his prime on a middle-of-the-road Rays squad, Glasnow became an All-Star for the first time in his career in […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Minnesota Twins in dramatic fashion Wednesday afternoon, 4-3. Freddie Freeman played the hero, hitting a two-run walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning, scoring Mookie Betts, who may miss the next game for an undisclosed reason, and Shohei Ohtani. It was an unexpected finish in Los Angeles,  […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers finally got back on the right track on Wednesday. It took a blunder from the Minnesota Twins, but Shohei Ohtani and Co. escaped with a 4-3 win. Unfortunately for Dave Roberts, he could be without his star shortstop against the Boston Red Sox on Friday. Mookie Betts is dealing with issues […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are back to their old tricks. In a game full of surprises, the Dodgers came from behind to defeat the Minnesota Twins 4-3 on a walk-off, two-run single from none other than Freddie Freeman. With the bases loaded, two outs, and a 1-2 count against Twins reliever Gavin Jax, Freeman lined […]

As the team looks to solidify their spot at the top of the NL West, designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has begun to […]

`The Los Angeles Dodgers felt the sting of the injury bug early in the 2025 season. L.A. is still without key hitter Max Muncy, which forced a batting order change. They watched a new scare after Tuesday’s interleague game against the Minnesota Twins involving Ben Casparius. What’s the status of the relief pitcher? The defending World […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have one of the best rosters in Major League Baseball. The team also runs one of the most successful farm systems in the league. Catcher Diego Cartaya was one of their best prospects before the Dodgers traded him away to the Minnesota Twins. After struggling in the minor leagues all season, […]

When Max Muncy crumpled to the dirt in agony earlier in July after an awkward collision at third base, even Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes feared the worst. “From a coping mechanism in my head, it was like, ‘OK, he’s done for the year,’” Gomes admitted. That mindset, thankfully, turned out to be premature. What […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been a mixed bag as of late but still sit with an impressive record of 59-43 more than midway through the 2025 MLB season. A large culprit for why the Dodgers have performed perhaps slightly below their historic expectations this year has been injuries, both to their pitching staff and […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered an ugly 10-7 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night, marking an 11th loss in 14 games as the beleaguered bullpen continues to stink up the joint. The latest bullpen implosion saw Dodgers relievers give up three runs in consecutive innings and seven runs total for the game. Is […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won their series opener against the Minnesota Twins, highlighted by a game-ending catch. This time, Dodgers All-Star Shohei Ohtani delivered a jaw-dropping home run against Twins reliever Jhoan Duran.

The Los Angeles Dodgers suffered another concerning setback on Tuesday night when reliever Ben Casparius exited their game against the Minnesota Twins with an apparent injury. His early removal underscored the team’s deepening bullpen crisis as the trade deadline approaches. Casparius appeared to suffer the injury in the sixth inning after allowing four straight batters […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers received a major scare this week when reliever Tanner Scott exited Monday night’s win over the Minnesota Twins with a noticeable arm issue. On Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts confirmed that the left-hander was placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation — a decision the team is hopeful will not […]

The fact that Dustin May pitched for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2025 is a minor miracle. After suffering a bizarre lettuce injury that caused an esophageal tear and could have cost him his life, May returned to the mound for the first time since 2023 and has gone on to appear in 18 games […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Tuesday’s action having won three of their past 13 games. They caught the Milwaukee Brewers at the wrong time, costing them six losses since July 7. But Shohei Ohtani has been pitching, which has been great for the Dodgers considering their injuries. But for the upcoming series against the Boston […]

With the trade deadline fast approaching, the Los Angeles Dodgers are weighing all their options — including what to do about Michael Conforto. The veteran outfielder has struggled mightily in his first season in L.A., slashing just .176/.296/.314 with a .610 OPS. Once envisioned as a key depth piece in a star-studded lineup, Conforto has […]

Aside from being an elite baseball player, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is also a fantastic and selfless teammate. It’s not just that he would do anything in his power to help his team win, whether by pitching or batting (or both); he’s also seemingly willing to accommodate a big change if it means […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t been playing their best baseball as of late, as they came into their Monday night contest against the Minnesota Twins with just two wins in their last 10 ballgames. During that stretch, they were swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in two separate three-game sets. Nonetheless, the Dodgers got back on […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers got the clutch play they desperately needed Monday night — and it came from center fielder James Outman, whose game-ending catch might be remembered as one of the most important defensive highlights of the team’s season. Facing the Minnesota Twins at Chavez Ravine, the Dodgers clung to a 5-2 lead in […]

As teams around the league approach the 100-game mark of the 2025 season, the Minnesota Twins found themselves in the national spotlight Monday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers — and not just for their performance on the field. When Carlos Correa stepped up to bat at Chavez Ravine, the atmosphere turned sharply hostile. Dodgers […]

The Minnesota Twins wasted no time making noise against the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday night, as leadoff hitter Byron Buxton launched an electrifying solo home run off Shohei Ohtani to start the night with a bang.
