As the days progress, it’s seeming more and more like free agent Roy Halladay will sign with someone other than the Los Angeles Dodgers. So while we talked about the possibility of Halladay coming to LA a few days ago, we might as well go ahead and turn our attention to other options in terms of starting pitching.

The speculation has already begun that the two teams who are very interested in the Blue Jays’ Roy Halladay are both from the state of California. That would be the Angels and the Dodgers. And while there have been rumors that the Dodgers will send Chad Billingsley to Toronto in exchange for Halladay, it’s starting to look like that is highly unlikely.

While I love baseball season, and love watching my favorite team play (I think you all know who that is), it’s hard to beat the excitement of the free for all that is the MLB off-season. It’s a time where teams will either make the big signing that will catapult them into contention for a pennant, or it will be where teams completely unload their roster and start things anew. Either way, watching as guys go from place to place, or well, from Boston to New York which is usually the case, it’s always intriguing.

Welcome everyone to a new era here at Lasorda’s Lair! We’ll be talking Dodger baseball all the time, and hopefully that doesn’t include talking about the Dodgers’ third straight postseason loss to the Phillies next season. But, enough bitterness towards the past. Let’s look ahead.
