Yikes!!!! Dodgers extend Charley Steiner
for three years so if you live in the West San Fernando Valley you won’t have to lament the fact you can’t get KLAC 570 anyway. I’ve tried to be fairly snarkless when I moved from TBLA over to here but it is hard when a move is made that doesn’t seem reasonable on so …
Ducking in with Donald
Duck – Two years into your term and it seems everyone who has worked for you has either been fired, resigned, or indicted and that is before the Democratic House takes over in January where the grill will only get hotter. Is this what you meant about “Making America Great Again”? Donald – No President …
Checking in on the Dodger Roster
With the winter meeting over, thought it would be prudent to check in on the roster and see where we stand. Below is the 41 man roster, one player will need to go when Joe Kelly is officially added to the 40 man roster. That player will come from the second tier of projected minor …
Dodgers leave winter meetings with all their outfielders and starting pitching
Most of the focus during the Dodger Winter Meetings were which outfielder would get traded in rumored deals for Kluber and Realmuto but with the 2018 Winter Meeting in the rearview mirror, the only notable change in the roster was the acquisition of Joe Kelley who short-circuited the Dodger 2013 Postseason when he broke the …
It is almost like Cody Bellinger wasn’t a valuable player in 2018
Trade talks are heating up and every Dodger outfielder is being discussed in deals to shore up area’s that evidently need shoring up. Even Cody Bellinger’s name has come up, which to me seems ridiculous given he should be as untouchable as Walker Buehler. Sure, Bellinger didn’t put up as insane a season as his …
Updating the Puig / Clemente timeline
In March of 2018, I took a long look at a view I’ve long maintained that Yasiel Puig could eventually have a career similar to HOF Roberto Clemente. Most baseball fans think of Clemente as the man who died a hero but in his early 20’s he was an enigmatic player who many felt wasn’t …
Ducking in with Dave Roberts
Dave Roberts signed an extension today and many fans won’t be happy about it. Let’s check in with Dave and see what he thinks. For those unfamiliar with the Duck, you can check out the archived Duck Talk Section at TrueBlueLA or the minuscule Duck Talk section here at DodgersYAT. We ask the questions we want to ask and …
Kluber and Kershaw?
Many folks who work the trade routes have said the Dodgers and Indians are talking trade with perennial CYA candidate Corey Kluber the Dodger target. Given the depth of the Dodger rotation that seems like a strange pairing for me. The rotation seems a bit loaded with Buehler, Kershaw, Ryu, Hill, Wood, Urias, Stripling, and …
Dreaming of some empathy
She clutched the bat as though it was her childhood baba, but the look in her eyes was of determination mixed with fear. We were all there in spring training for the Dodgers and while I didn’t know why I was there, I knew why she was there. She had come to make the team …
