I think it's easy to talk about the guys that we have sort of slotted in as far as starters, but guys like River, Gavin, two years ago Gavin threw the most innings as a starter for a championship team. River is very talented. And then you layer in Wrobo and what he did for us, and Emmet Sheehan. So we've got guys that are on the come, guys that have done it.

As the legend goes, famed Dodgers scout Mike Brito discovered Yasiel Puig during an exhibition game in Canada 2008, when he was a member of Cuban National Series' Elefantes de Cienfuegos. Brito was immediately impressed by Puig's athleticism and knew he had a future in the Major Leagues. The Dodgers ultimately signed Puig on the same 2012 trip to Mexico that produced Julio Urías. Puig went on to make his MLB debut in 2013 as the Dodgers were in mired in a summer swoon.

I would probably stick with AJ. But what Doc [Dave Roberts] did this postseason was super impressive. So I would give it a 1A and 1B, because everybody talks about the rosters that Doc has had, and yes, he has unbelievable talent. But what he did this postseason - and honestly the previous one, too, with how he navigated that Padres series - I give him a whole ton of respect.

Major League Baseball revealed its 2025 post-season bonus pool for players on Thursday, with the back-to-back World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers earning 36 per cent ($46.15 million) of the total $128.2 million pool, per Sportico's report. The Toronto Blue Jays, who were dealt a heartbreaking loss in Game 7 of the World Series at Rogers Centre last month, received 24 per cent ($30.76 million) of the post-season bonus pool.

The team, which moved to the American Association and the National League throughout the late 1800s, earned the nickname "the Bridegrooms" after several players got married around the same time. The "Dodgers" nickname dates back to as early as 1896, when electric trolley tracks were constructed in front of Eastern Park, forcing fans to dodge trolley cars on their way to games.

Kuroda's tenure with the Dodgers included a strong 2011 campaign in which he delivered a career-best 3.07 ERA in 202 innings. Earlier in his time with Los Angeles, Kuroda was a bright spot for the rotation in their 2008 playoff run, as he made two successful starts in both the National League Division Series against the Chicago Cubs. Kuroda logged 6.1 shutout innings in Game 3,

With the number of pitchers they already have, they don't need me,

The first thing I said to him was, 'You're going to sign with the Dodgers, right?'...I sat there for the entire two-hour event and talked up the Dodgers to him the whole time. I don't know if I had a hand in it or not, but I like to say that I was one of the first ones to go heavy and hard after him that he should be a Dodger.

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost three minor leaguers in the Triple-A Phase of the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday. The Rule 5 Draft is an annual occurrence at the MLB Winter Meetings where teams can draft players left off of other teams' 40-man rosters. The Triple-A phase is similar, but adds prospects who have spent at least four years in the minors and are not in Triple-A to Triple-A teams rather than their major league roster.

Step into the Dodgers' team store, turn to the right, and you'll be staring at Shohei Ohtani. Not in person, of course. But amid all the jerseys and caps and T-shirts, there is a commercial playing on a loop, with Ohtani waving his fingers through his hair and winking as he displays the product he is endorsing: the top-selling skin serum in Japan.

The Dodgers announced that they have claimed outfielder Michael Siani off waivers from the Braves.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a huge pitching acquisition during the Winter Meetings, signing free agent closer Edwin Diaz to a three-year, $69 million deal, but they may not be done reinforcing their pitching staff just yet. The Dodgers have been heavily linked to Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, and could look to acquire the starter via trade before the end of the offseason to add to their rotation.
