Before tonight’s 7-4 victory against the Mets, the big story was Zack Greinke‘s health. After tonight’s victory, though, the big story was Adrian Gonzalez‘ incredible performance. In the fourth inning, after the Dodgers were down 3-0, Gonzalez went to the plate after Carl Crawford walked and stole second. Gonzalez singled Crawford home to cut the lead, then…
Julio Urias and Corey Seager represented the Dodgers well in Sunday’s Futures Game in Minnesota. Urias pitched in the fifth inning of the game, and did nothing to dispel the hype he’s getting.

The Dodgers’ family lost one of its longest-tenured members on Thursday in Dr. Frank Jobe, who died in his Santa Monica home at the age of 88. Jobe was a member of the Dodgers’ organization beginning in 1964, and he was also associated — early in his career — with the then Los Angeles Rams…

For this, I’ll grade the names of Dodger prospects at every position (with honorable mentions) and form a team of guys with some of the…
