Hooray, content to knock the Jamey Wright review off the front page! As expected, not all of the Dodger arbitration cases were going to make it to the actual arbitrator, and after A.J. Ellis‘ agreement, we now have news of another, Chris Heisey: Chris heisey, dodgers settle at $2.16M — Jon Heyman (@JonHeymanCBS) January 16,…

It went somewhat unnoticed on Tuesday, but the Dodgers had four players file for arbitration, sans A.J. Ellis, who agreed to a $4.25 million contract for 2015. Chris Heisey, Kenley Jansen, Juan Nicasio and Justin Turner all filed for arbitration on the deadline day after failing to reach agreements with the Dodgers. Now, this doesn’t mean they’re…
In November, the Dodgers traded for the little-known Mike Bolsinger as part of a flurry of minor moves. We noted it as inconsequential, especially since the Dodgers acquired him for cash considerations. That Bolsinger started the brawl with Erisbel Arruebarrena last year was probably the most interesting thing about him. He’s almost 27, was never really…

On this episode of “Dugout Blues,” Jared Massey (Dodgers Nation) and I kick off the new year with some fresh, hot takes (not really). The Hall of Fame results always inspire discussion, no matter how some may dislike it or disagree with the voting. We’re not members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, but…
The Dodgers and their shiny new front office have accomplished so, so much this offseason. Remember the complaints about their seeming inactivity? That was barely more than a month ago. It seems almost insane to think about that now. Let’s take a look back at the goals they’ve accomplished — and what they might still…
