Although they underwent some postseason struggles prior to 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in the business of vying for championships and building an empire.

Fresh off winning their eighth World Series title, the Los Angeles Dodgers have continued to improve their team this offseason. Those improvements continued Friday with the signing of Korean infielder Hyeseong Kim to a three-year contract. The addition did come with another price though, as catcher Diego Cartaya was designated for assignment according to reports. […]

When the clock ticks down, few franchises have the resources and nerve to actually pull the trigger and get a move done. South Korean defensive wizard Hyeseong Kim had until 5 p.m. ET on Friday to sign with an MLB team before the deadline expired. True to form, the Los Angeles Dodgers closed the deal […]

When the Los Angeles Dodgers make a roster move, fans are conditioned to either throw a fit or extol them as the greatest organization in the world. Somewhere in between all the hyperbole, however, one has to commend the front office for constantly striving to build a better baseball team. LA might have done just […]

Though they only spent a year together as teammates with the Los Angeles Dodgers, it seemed like Teoscar Hernandez and Shohei Ohtani instantly became friends both on and off the field.

The 2024 MLB season started on a turbulent note for Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, as his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, became the subject of a shocking investigation and was subsequently arrested and sentenced to prison.

Let’s go ahead and preface this with the almost certain fact that this trade won’t happen. The Los Angeles Angels despise their crosstown neighbors, the Los Angeles Dodgers. That hatred likely grew even more when former Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers last offseason. If the Halos then […]

Roki Sasaki is looking like the next big thing coming out of Japan, and all MLB teams seem to be head over heels for the 23-year-old starting pitcher. And it’s not like Sasaki is ticketed to join a big-market team, as he is subject to the league’s amateur signing rules due to his age — […]

As MLB free-agency dominoes continue to fall, Teoscar Hernandez has yet to find his long-term home.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers prepare their World Series defense, the team has already committed to Mookie Betts playing shortstop.

Amid the fallout of the New York Mets landing Juan Soto with a massive 15-year deal worth $765 million, teams hope that the market should begin to move in earnest with the biggest deal out of the way. As a result, the trade rumors continue to swirl, as in the rumors linking the St. Louis […]
