The Los Angeles Dodgers went 3-1 in their Korea era, having won both of their exhibition games, and split their series with the San Diego Padres.
In Game 1 against the Padres, the offense was sluggish early, but eventually battled back from a 2-1 deficit to win the game 5-2. Tyler Glasnow was shaky, allowing two runs over his five innings of work. The bullpen buckled in, and held the Padres scoreless, allowing the Dodgers to capitalize on a four-run eighth inning.

One of MLB’s biggest questions of the winter has finally been answered. Shohei Ohtani is heading back to Los Angeles, this time as a member of the Dodgers.
Although the past few days have been ridden with rumors galore, the two-way superstar announced on Saturday afternoon that he has agreed to a whopping 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers. Speculation was running rampant on Friday, as some bloggers continued to track flight manifests while others claimed the 29-year-old slugger finalized a deal with the Toronto Blue Jays, according to their own special sources.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been there and done that regarding big trades. Mookie Betts, Trea Turner, and Yu Darvish. Since the team is regularly among the perennial candidates, it is no debate as to why they execute these trades.
This trade deadline season isn’t any different, as the Dodgers have many names linked to them.
Even with a record of 66-32, the Dodgers are still looking to add pieces for the postseason push.
With the trade deadline just a few weeks away, there hasn’t been an overwhelming amount of news surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers, aside from a few whispers about infielder Brandon Drury and the perennial rumblings surrounding pitcher Luis Castillo.
The team has been somewhat busy on the bottom-end of the market, having brought back reliever Jake Reed after he was waived by the Mets and signing another reliever in Hansel Robles after being released by the Red Sox.
The trade deadline has been a game-changer for the Los Angeles Dodgers in recent years. Last year, the team traded for Max Scherzer and Trea Turner. The club also traded for Yu Darvish in 2017, and you can even go back to the start of the decade-long success with the Adrian Gonzalez trade in 2013.
But, will the Dodgers make any trades close to that magnitude this year? Similar to other seasons, the team is nursing injuries to key players such as Mookie Betts, Walker Buehler, Dustin May, and Blake Treinen, to name a few.

The MLB season is nearing the All-Star Break, with fans voting daily for their favorite players. For National League shortstops, the leading vote-getter is Trea Turner.

Since getting traded to the Dodgers in the middle of last season, Turner won the batting title in 2021, and he has posted a WAR of 2.7 this season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are finally all back in Spring Training, and it remains uncertain who else will be joining them at Camelback Ranch.
As of Tuesday morning, highly coveted free agent Freddie Freeman had yet to chose a team. On Monday, his prior team, the Atlanta Braves, made a huge trade with the Oakland Athletics to bring All-Star first baseman Matt Olson to Atlanta in exchange for four prospects. One would assume that that means that Freeman will not be returning to Atlanta.
