    Yeh, thebig smile and timely HRs are an intoxicating factor of Teo's Dodger existence, but I literally cringe when the ball is hit to right. Sometimes I look through my fingers to lessen the impact of his RF travesty...but that's a lot of money he's got coming. And unless they get aguy who can play CF and hit pretty damn welll, it will live anddie as a rumor,imo.
    And really, if they want Tucker, they won't go after him because he costs too much ? Naaah....
    They can really afford anyone that's available, and confinue on marching to the forefront of ruining baseball. The die is cast.
    Let's do it !

    Develop some of the young arms as bullpen pieces. Please resist the temptations of the big money, long term bullpen arms.

    They can put together a more than adequate pen among Ryan, Stone, Sheehan, Wrobleski, Klein, Enriquez, Stewart or Ferris.

    Who knows? Maybe they bring Phillips back and Bazooka could return, too.

    It'll be unsurprising if Klein never again pitches like he did that night in game 3. Not being negative but just honest. That may have been his ONE moment to shine like a beacon & remember it for a lifetime.

    Or not. Maybe he's the next big thing. But either way... as you say, LA should be able to build a nice bullpen with those arms.

    Gonna be a long 2026 but I'm glad to take a few months off & cogitate on all things Dodgers. Been following this team since 1971 & I've enjoyed 5 WS rings in that span. Lots of heartbreak & frustrating eras but just think how effed Cleveland, Seattle, & Denver fans are in that span? Or Padres ... OK, fuck them ... but I'm a more fortunate fan as a Dodger guy to have 5 in 54 years anyway.

    Klein may end up having a decently excellent career for a few years based on lack of fear
    he went to the top of the mountain and returned what else could possibly shake him?
    and all the Teo trade talk is just designed to get his attention
    in LF and healthy for 26 he's going to have another monster year imo

    River Ryan is one name to watch in the @Dodgers’ 2026 pitching plans. He underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2024 and progressed so quickly that he was under consideration for a postseason roster spot in October.

    It’s been a quiet offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers so far, with their only major move being their decision to re-sign infielder and World Series hero Miguel Rojas to a one-year, $5.5 million deal. With team needs in the bullpen and outfield, the Dodgers could look to be aggressive at the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings.

    “The Dodgers haven’t made their big move yet,” Russell Dorsey said on MLB Network.

    That could change in a matter of days, as team executives, agents and reporters flock to Orlando to hash out trades, free agent signings and other league business items. Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes, who will be in Orlando this week, has given clues about how the Dodgers might approach free agency, as they look to fill specific holes on the roster.

    “By being aggressive over the last couple offseasons, we do have a very, very good core in place,” Gomes told the Los Angeles Times. “So it’s continuing to fine-tune and look at what the weaknesses on the roster are and try to address those. … It’s being very targeted in who we go out and look to acquire. I think that holds true across the board, without many glaring holes.”

    A player that would both help the Dodgers shore up their defense in the outfield as well as provide a major boost in the batting order would be signing free agent right fielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker, who is just 28, would help add some youth to the aging Dodgers’ roster, although he would come at a hefty cost.

    The Dodgers are looking to sign players to shorter-term, higher average annual value contracts, and Tucker is likely seeking a deal of at least eight to 10 years. However, if the Dodgers are truly looking to make a “big move” there would be few that would be bigger than signing Tucker, who would provide an instant boost to an already-stacked Dodgers roster.

    • Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports the Pirates have made a four-year offer to free agent slugger Kyle Schwarber. Rosenthal adds that the proposal is likely worth more than $100MM.

    The Twins will reportedly not trade Byron Buxton this winter.

    • USA Today’s Bob Nightengale says the Yankees still are the favorites to bring Cody Bellinger back, but the Mets are in play, and he could be a fallback plan for teams like the Phillies and Blue Jays.
    looks like cody will be playing in japan
