Following the end of the season, local psycho Dustin reset the 40-man of the Dodgers and highlighted that they have six arbitration-eligible players and 17 others who are pre-arbitration. In around a few weeks on November 20, the non-tender deadline will hit, and it feels worth it to take a closer look at the aforementioned …
Tarik Skubal was as advertised after the Dodgers acquired him at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline. He had a 2.72 ERA, 2.51 FIP and a 23.3 K-BB%. Ace-level stuff. Naturally, it’d be nice for the Dodgers to retain his services. There are a few wrinkles when it comes to that: The unresolved Collective Bargaining Agreement …
Continued thoughts on the talk of the Dodgers dynasty being dead, Dave Roberts being graded on his playoff decisions, appropriately timed Dodger prospect updates, and interesting Dodger Stadium stuff. ====== The Athletic: Tyler Kepner wrote about what to expect from the decline of a dynasty, comparing the early-00s Yankees with the current Dodgers. The Yankees …
Chase Harlan. (Via @msalas24) It was a noteworthy week for a few Dodgers prospects in the Arizona Fall League. Chase Harlan had the game of the week on Thursday, a 4-for-5 showing with a double and an absolute moonshot of a home run, one that left the bat at 112 MPH and traveled 451 feet. …
With the Andrew Friedman and Brandon Gomes holding their end-of-season press conference last week, it’s officially time to look ahead to the offseason. We already know about the labor uncertainty that will lead to the owners locking the players out, but we at Dodgers Digest (well, me, I guess) are just going to operate within …
Even with the pending lockout, the Dodgers (and all teams) will have to make their Rule 5 Draft protections via selection to the 40-man roster, and that’s true even if there is no Rule 5 Draft in 2026. What? Yeah, the draft is scheduled during the Winter Meetings, which are held after the assumed lockout …
(Via @Dodgers) Hello and welcome to the pedantic portion of the offseason content machine, as today we go over the contract option and qualifying offers decisions for the Dodgers. I’m sure there will be heated debate soon. —— I’ll accept your thanks in advance for doing this, because you, a confused and clueless fan of …
It’s no secret the Dodgers are built around Shohei Ohtani. He’s the one who makes the lineup go. He has less of an impact on the starting rotation, but that’s partially due to the nature of the position and the great arms who surround him. Being one of the biggest questions during yesterday’s end-of-season press …
In all the rush to prepare for the post-World Series rush that’ll hit before the lockout date, I honestly forgot the Dodgers would hold an exit interview type of press conference to conclude the season, so this served as a welcome dump of news during these trying (content) times. Not only were there general updates …
(Via @miggyslocker) The crazy part about Miguel Rojas‘ journey to getting a tribute post for his retirement isn’t that I’d call you nuts if you told me it would happen when he debuted as a rookie for the Dodgers back in 2014. No, the crazy thing is if you told me that as late as …
Charles Davalan, aka Chuck D, has been struggling at the plate in the Arizona Fall League. The 2025 draftee was one of the Midwest League’s top bats in his full-season debut, making his .167/.333/.300 slash line with Glendale a bit of a surprise. He’s also relearning second base defensively, which could be impacting his offense. …
It can be difficult to think clearly in the immediate aftermath of anything disappointing, including the 2026 Dodgers season ending with them crashing out spectacularly in the NLCS, and thus it’s a prime opportunity for people start believing the worst is yet to come. I get it, in some ways that was how I thought …
The quest for a 3-peat has come to an end earlier than the Dodgers and their fans had hoped. A drubbing at the hands of the National League champion Brewers brings the offseason 10 or so days sooner than expected. Now, we look ahead to what promises to be one of the most uncertain offseasons …
Yesterday was the first figurative must-win game of the 2026 NLCS, but Game 4 was the first literal must-win game, as the Dodgers came into it with the worst deficit possible of 3-0 to the Brewers. After some further frustration at the game’s outset for the bats, Andy Pages started the scoring and Shohei Ohtani …
