From 2010-2014, Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward were teammates on the Atlanta Braves. While they both now play for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Freeman still hasn’t forgotten about his time with Heyward on the Braves.

The Los Angeles Dodgers essentially have an All-Star team after having one of the most successful offseasons in MLB history. As a result, the lineup is looking incredibly strong.

First baseman Freddie Freeman and the Los Angeles Dodgers are currently gearing up for a 2024 season in which anything short of a World Series title will be considered a major failure. Freeman has enjoyed great productivity in each of his first two seasons since ditching the Atlanta Braves for the Dodgers; however, both of […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers enjoyed a big offseason, which was highlighted by signing superstar Shohei Ohtani to a historic contract. Los Angeles added plenty of other talent and they already featured an impressive roster. So when it comes to selecting just one X-factor, the choice is quite difficult. In all reality, the Dodgers’ X-factor would […]

After adding Shohei Ohtani, the prize of the MLB offseason, the Los Angeles Dodgers wasted no time putting the star player to work.

In the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pursuit of a World Series championship, the recent signing of Shohei Ohtani has added both a monumental chapter and an immense weight to the narrative. Ohtani’s arrival, marked by a record-breaking 10-year, $700 million contract, positions the Dodgers to boast the most compelling and formidable lineup in baseball. However, it […]

Shohei Ohtani is staying in LA and joining the Los Angeles Dodgers! The biggest question mark in the MLB this offseason was surrounding Ohtani’s free agency and where he would end up for the 2024 season. He is one of the best players in the game of baseball, and the Dodgers are getting a good […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have finished with 100-plus wins in each of the last three seasons, yet they’ve been bounced out earlier than expected in the postseason, twice in the NLDS and once in the NLCS.

On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers and manager Dave Roberts were once again sent home with an early exit from the MLB Playoffs after failing to secure a single victory in the NLDS against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

For now, it’s a matter of addressing who’s responsible for this embarrassing playoff exit, with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman both owning […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers can be penciled in for at least 95-100 wins and the NL West crown every single season, but that tends to have no bearing on their performance come postseason time.

And just like that, the Los Angeles Dodgers are on the brink of the elimination. The NL West champions sit in a 0-2 hole against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2023 NLDS, having lost yet another game on Monday night at home behind a lackluster performance from one of the better offenses in baseball. While […]

Clayton Kershaw has largely struggled with a lingering shoulder injury throughout the season, but if Freddie Freeman’s latest comments are any indication, it seems the southpaw pitcher is peaking at the right time as they gear up for the MLB playoffs.

They currently still have the best record in all of MLB at 97-55. From top to bottom, they have a star-studded starting lineup that has achieved team and individual records […]

Mookie Betts is having one hell of a season. The star right fielder is having an excellent second half of the season for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
