Published on by Dennis Schlossman54 Comments

After the Tyler Glasnow deal went down last week, the biggest question left for the Los Angeles Dodgers is how aggressively they will pursue another high-quality arm to create a formidable rotation.

We could talk forever about the specifics of Glasnow’s contract extension and what it means to the team going forward. The trade with the Rays was contingent on Glasnow agreeing to a five-year- $136 million deal, ensuring he’ll likely be around if or when Shohei Ohtani joins the rotation.

Every time the starting pitching staff of the Los Angeles Dodgers takes a step forward, it seems to take a step back not long after.

This is obviously the case for many MLB clubs over the course of a grueling 162-game season. However, for the Dodgers, it feels like it’s been a long time since they’ve had a starting five at full power.

Dodgers Roster: The Current State of the Starting Rotation

Published on by Dennis Schlossman5 Comments

For all the injury turmoil the Los Angeles Dodgers had to deal with in the first half of the season, the team’s starting rotation isn’t in that bad of shape. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go to the playoffs, but there are seemingly a few legitimate options now that didn’t exist in the early stages of the year.

Of course, there are probably some other areas — like the bullpen and offense — that need to be addressed before the club even thinks about the postseason. However, for now, let’s take a close look at the current rotation to see how it stacks up.

Published on by Dennis Schlossman1 Comment

With righty Tony Gonsolin likely to begin the season on the injured list with a left ankle sprain, the Los Angeles Dodgers will need to dip into their plentiful stockpile of young starting pitchers to round out their Opening Day rotation.

At the moment, it looks like the team will award the final rotation spot to either Ryan Pepiot or Michael Grove, both of whom made their MLB debuts for the club last year.

Dodgers Head to San Diego for Pivotal NLDS Game 3

Published on by Dennis Schlossman8 Comments

If there’s one thing that we learned over the course of the first two games of the 2022 NLDS, it’s that the San Diego Padres have come ready to play. By no means have the Dodgers been performing well, but the Padres have shown they will not roll over easily the way they did in 14 of the 19 matchups during the regular season.

Published on by Andy Lane Chapman5 Comments

First and foremost, I would like to apologize. I was just sitting down to write this post, and the thought in my head was about how all the Los Angeles Dodgers need to do from this point on is just stay healthy.

That was disrupted by the announcement that on Monday, the Dodgers placed right handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin on the 15-day IL, with right forearm strain. The placement is retroactive to August 26th.
