Published on by Dennis Schlossman8 Comments

Mother’s Day weekend wasn’t overly kind to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the beginning of a six-game stint on the road. Despite a five-run output and a win on Saturday, there wasn’t much offense at all to speak about Friday’s opener and Sunday’s finale.

Obviously, former Dodger Yu Darvish was excellent in San Diego’s 4-0 victory on Sunday. It’s tough to say how the Dodgers would have fared with their prime lineup on the field, but Los Angeles just managed four hits on the afternoon, with two coming off the bat of shortstop Mookie Betts.

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.
