Ten years ago or so I gotta admit. Doug Mientkiewicz was kinda cool. After all he was playing in Minnesota, could field a ball and his name somehow had both w and z in it.
Anyway this season he’s trying to make the Los Angeles Dodgers. Last season he tried the same thing with the Pittsburgh [...]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed second basemen Orlando Hudson. Earlier in the day it was reported that the Dodgers had interest in another Orlando, Orlando Cabrera.
Hudson who played for the Arizona Diamonbaks the last three seasons turned 31 in December and is coming off his third straight season of an OPS above 800.
A three [...]

Eric Milton is still alive. The left handed pitcher signed a minor league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers and will join the team for spring training.
If the Dodgers are lucky that is all they or anyone will see of Milton who missed almost all of 2007 and 2008 with injuries.  The fact that Milton [...]

It’s done. The Dodgers have released Andruw Jones and now the outfielder is awaiting a contract for 2009. Jones apparently already thinks he’s back with the team after he showed up to a Georgia Tech game wearing the familiar Braves cap.
Jones would battle Josh Anderson and Gregor Blanco for the starting job in center field [...]

When we reported back in early December that the Los Angeles Dodgers were looking into Trevor Hoffman as a ninth inning option we didn’t expect it to be January when the team made an offer.
The Dodgers offer to 41-year-old pitcher exceeds $4 million according to the Los Angeles Times. The Milwaukee Brewers who also have [...]

Earlier tonight I came across a blip on rotoworld which suggested that the Dodgers were working out a way to cut ties with outfielder Andruw Jones. Below is the excerpt from the site. Their comments are in italics.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the Dodgers are working on a deal that would allow them to [...]

When the winter began Manny Ramirez and his agent were out and about talking up his stock and pushing for more years. The Los Angeles Dodgers have not been shy about their desire to bring back the 36-year-old outfielder but only want to do so on a two-year deal.
The Dodgers offered Ramirez a two year [...]

We’ve known it for a few days but it didn’t exactly make things easier.
Greg Maddux is stepping away from the mound. He’s leaving the ball park and his name will no longer appear in the box score.
Four Cy Youngs, 18 Gold Gloves, and 355 wins (the most since the advent of the five man rotation) [...]

Greg Maddux will officially announce what we all suspected. On Monday the future hall of famer will announce his retirement from baseball. Twenty three years in the big leagues and 355 victories Maddux very well could be the best pitcher anyone reading this ever got to see.
Maddux started his career with the Chicago Cubs in [...]

Things keep getting worse of the San Diego Padres in regards to former closer Trevor Hoffman. After the team offered the face of their franchise and the all-time saves leader a measly $4 million they then promptly removed the offer from the table. Now it appears that the Los Angeles Dodgers, a divisional foe, has [...]

Faced with the reality that Rafael Furcal is on his way out of town the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking for his replacment.
The team is again showing interest in Pittsburgh Pirate shot stop Jack Wilson. Which begs the question of why a team would want to take on a player such as Wilson who has [...]

It may have taken a month to happen but it appears that the Los Angeles Dodgers are talking to the San Diego Padres about acquiring future hall of fame pitcher Greg Maddux.
Maddux has suffered through possibly the worst season of his pro career due entirely to the Padres sterile offensive production. Maddux picked up his [...]

The Los Angeles Dodgers annouced the release of former big leaguers Mark Bellhorn, Ramon Martinez and Matt Riley Thursday night.
Bellhorn had simply struggled to hit at the Double-A level, Martinez was injury prone but surprisingly Riley had been effective.
Riley had signed with the Dodgers in 2007 and had been 2-1 with a 2.88 ERA with [...]

Clayton Kershaw lasted eight starts in the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation but now the young left hander is heading back to Double-A.
Kershaw was 0-2 with a respectable 4.42 ERA during his first taste of big league action but with the return of both Hiroki Kuroda and Brad Penny there just isn’t room for the 20 [...]

Clayton Kershaw lasted just 3 2/3 innings in his start tonight allowing four earned on five hits, walking four and striking out two against the New York Mets.
Kershaw the Dodgers number one prospect recently changed his uniform number from 54 to 22 as well.
The Dodgers later rallied in the eight scoring 5 to over take [...]
