Yesterday, July 18, was the last day for teams to sign their draft picks from the 2014 MLB Draft, and the Dodgers ended up inking 33 of 40 draftees. Late additions to the Dodger family include 23rd rounder Andrew Godbold and 38th rounder Caleb Ferguson. Godbold was listed as signed by Baseball America and also…
The Dodgers had more than their share of opportunities to survive another bad Dan Haren start tonight. They, frustratingly, could not do it. As a result, they fell to the Cardinals by a score of 3-2. First, the Haren start. He continued to look like the broken version of Dan Haren which we have become accustomed…
It has been a while, hasn’t it? After all of the pageantry and fun of the all-star game and a well-deserved vacation for most of the players, the Dodgers kick off the second “half” of the season against the Cardinals in St. Louis. Dodgers Cardinals 5:15 p.m. PT St. Louis, Mo. 2B Gordon 3B Carpenter RF…
We all think the Dodgers are going to add another starting pitcher sometime before the trading deadline, but while the popular thought is David Price — the Dodgers being one of the few teams with the prospects to get him, the bankroll to afford him, and a playoff run to make it worthwhile — that’s…
On Wednesday, Mark Saxon posted the following: Spoke to a baseball source today who said he expects the #Dodgers to pursue Jonathan Papelbon — Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) July 16, 2014 Ah, trade season. This tweet doesn’t mean that the Dodgers are actually going to pursue Jonathan Papelbon. The “baseball source” appears to be speculating. Given…
In a recent article at Baseball Prospectus, the fellas there wrote about the 2012 redraft — basically, it’s the draft in hindsight. Corey Seager ended up going No. 10 to the Colorado Rockies. I’m thinking that might have been too low, and others in the baseball world would probably agree (but the 2012 draft was…
Corey Seager has earned a promotion to AA by setting A+ on fire, Joc Pederson and Alex Guerrero both return from injuries in impressive fashion, and 2014 draftees Grant Holmes and Matt Campbell are off to quick starts. July 7 Hitter Of The Day: Corey Seager (A+) – 2/4, 2 2B (31, 32), BB, 2…
This is the deadest time of the year in sports. None of the Big 4 sports are playing, as MLB games don’t resume until Friday. But, there is the Triple-A All-Star game I’m sure everyone — or no one — is looking forward to. PCL IL 4:00 pm PT Durham, N.C. CF Orlando CF Carrera RF…
You know, the Dodgers and Red Sox once went more than four decades barely dealing with one another at all. Between 1960′s Nelson Chittum for Rip Repulski swap — and tell me you don’t remember that one — and Dave Roberts going to Boston in 2004, the only trade between the two was the Dodgers acquiring…
Between all of the Derek Jeter hype, the purposefully bad pitches, and the completely inexcusable lack of a tribute to Tony Gwynn, there were some Dodgers in the All-Star Game tonight. Yasiel Puig, Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, and Dee Gordon – four of the players who will be most responsible for trying to push the…
