Hyeseong's in the mix, we got Espinal, obviously, Miggy Ro's gonna do some things over there, Freeland certainly in the mix, so we've got some nice options,

On February 16, 1989, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Orel Hershiser to a record-setting three-year, $7.9 million contract extension. The terms of the deal included a $1.1 million signing bonus, and base salaries of $2.4 million in 1989, $1.6 million in 1990 and $2.8 million in 1991. Because his signing bonus was divided equally over the three seasons, Hershiser's salary in 1990 came out to $3,166,000, making him the first $3 million player in MLB history.

"I love it," Machado told reporters at the team's facility in Peoria, Ariz. "They figured out a way to do it. ... I think every team has the ability to do it. I hope all 30 teams could learn from that."

Tanner Scott was the Dodgers' second-biggest free-agent signing of the 2024 offseason, but he was expected to have a big impact on the team. Remember, this team basically won a World Series on the strength of 2.5 starting pitchers and a dynamite bullpen. Signing Scott was only projected to make the bullpen that much better. Things got off to a slow start before he, seemingly, hit his stride. Then, he didn't.

Walter bought the Lakers for $10 billion from the Buss family, and with the sale going through, the Dodgers' owner becomes the man for both of the city's biggest teams. Since joining the MLB, Walter has financed and powered the Dodgers into a powerhouse that not only spends more than any team but also efficiently optimizes every part of the organization - from the farm system to the under-the-radar finds.

Who do you think is skinny enough? 'Cause dude, when I threw that first pitch it was so tight on me. I'm like 195 now. I played at like 180, 185. And my arms are so yoked, dude, I couldn't even... I bounced the ball. I couldn't move my arm. It was so tight.

"I've really planned to play any position they ask," Rushing said at DodgerFest on Saturday. "Whether I've played it before or I haven't, just - like I said - take advantage of every opportunity. I know catching, first base are going to be the main two."

I don't think that should be the focus. I think the focus should be winning baseball games against every team. I don't think focusing on the Dodgers is going to help us win at all. I think when you focus on a certain team, when you get to play that team, you're going to tense up and you're not gonna be the same team.

The older brother of fellow Dodgers righty River Ryan, Ryder is a 30-year-old reliever who's pitched in parts of two major league seasons. He saw time with the '23 Mariners and the '24 Pirates, combining for 21 2/3 innings during that brief pair of looks. He yielded 13 runs (5.40 ERA) on 21 hits and 10 walks with 19 strikeouts.
