For the past six seasons, the National League West has known no king but the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have established a stranglehold on the division in the midst of three straight NLCS appearances and back-to-back World Series berths. While Los Angeles has been busy this offseason, most of the moves the organization has made […]

Coming off an impressive 2019 season that ended up a few games short in the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers should hang their hat on their laurels from what they achieved in 2018.

After representing the National League in the 2018 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to retool after being embarrassed by the Boston Red Sox.

Streaking out to lead the National League Central division […]

For much of this offseason, talks have centered around marquee free agents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper.

Yasiel Puig has been one of the most polarizing players in baseball over the last few years. He has been a key part of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ playoff runs, but has also gone through slumps that has hurt the team. Heading into this offseason, his future with the franchise is in doubt by many. […]
