Ausmus and Belliard to Return to LA

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

The Dodgers made a few moves yesterday, but nothing that will wow any of the fans, or make a world championship look more possible. Both Brad Ausmus and Ronnie Belliard re-signed with the club, and both will probably occupy backup roles with the team.

Dodgers Add Vicente Padilla to the Rotation

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

If there was one guy that it seemed like you could count on in the stretch run last season, it was Vicente Padilla. So it’s good news that the Dodgers have officially signed Padilla to a 1-year deal, which should make him a nice addition to this rotation heading into next season.

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: None Yet

We discussed the new deals for James Loney, Hong-Chih Kuo, and George Sherrill yesterday, and today, there’s even more good news coming out of Los Angeles. The Dodgers have landed deals with the remaining players who were eligible for arbitration, and have a few of them locked up for the next few years.

No Arbitration for Loney, Sherrill, or Kuo

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: None Yet

Here’s a nice little update from Dodger land this morning, as three of the top talents on the squad have signed new deals with the team. James Loney, Hong Chih-Kuo, and George Sherrill have all avoided arbitration, which is certainly good news for a team that can’t afford to lose any more top players.

Dodger Arbitration Updates

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

The main focus the last few days around Dodger-land has been arbitration, and seeing who would and wouldn’t file for arbitration. We got news on some big-time Dodger players yesterday, so let’s take a look at where the Dodgers stand right now in terms of player arbitration.

Assessing the Dodgers’ Place in the NL West As of Now

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

So since there’s not a whole lot going on in Dodger land right now in terms of improving the roster, I figured we should take a look at where the Dodgers currently stand in the NL West race heading into next season.

Dodgers “Looking” At Noah Lowry

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

Notice the emphasis on “looking” there. That’s all this team has been doing since the offseason started. Whether it be “looking” at Juan Pierre at his press conference with his new team, the Chicago White Sox, or “looking” at Randy Wolf as he made his way to Milwaukee, to help them improve their pitching staff. Looking seems to be the name of the game right now for LA.

Are the Dodgers Interested in Joel Pineiro?

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: News, Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

I apologize for the lack of Dodger talk here lately, as well, the Dodgers haven’t exactly given me a whole lot to work with at this point. If the Dodgers are trying to win the award for “Team to Do the Least in an Off-Season”…..then they’re doing an awesome job of that. Because they are still lost in the shuffle when it comes to teams making moves this off-season.

The Dodgers Still Searching for Pitching

AUTHOR: Blake Lovell | IN: Offseason | COMMENTS: 1 Comment

And the search continues. That’s pretty much become the motto these days when we talk about the Dodgers search for pitching. First, they didn’t make much of an effort to re-sign Randy Wolf. Then they haven’t shown to be all that interested in Chien Ming-Wang. And now, the trade for Aaron Harang is no longer a possibility.
I’m not really sure what the Dodgers expect at this point. They’ve lost in the playoffs the past two seasons because of pitching. They thought they fixed the problem heading into this season, but that obviously didn’t work when it came down to [...]
