Jim Bowden says the Reds would "absolutely" consider trading Elly De La Cruz and that the Dodgers should be thinking about their next superstar. Speculation only: no talks are reported, and a blockbuster package would hinge on the farm system. 🤔
Kiké Hernández says embracing the "October Kiké" villain persona is "part my DNA," recalling his three-homer 2017 NLCS Game 5 as his super-villain moment. He joked about the Dodgers' bad-guy brand while stressing that only the locker room's opinion matters. 😈
A Sportsnaut projection has the Dodgers landing Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz this winter, but it's only a prediction, not a deal. He hit 30 homers and stole 30 bases in 2026, and the idea is that Mookie Betts could slide to second. 🔮
Manfred called the Brewers-Rays World Series "refreshing" for baseball, but the Dodgers are a footnote here: the back-to-back defending champs were the 103-win Brewers' last hurdle before the Fall Classic. Milwaukee swept them in the NLCS. 🧹
Speculation: Gunnar Henderson could be a Dodgers trade target this winter, with the Orioles reportedly open to listening. His 2026 dip (.712 OPS, 24 HR) is framed as fixable by L.A.'s hitting lab. Nothing is confirmed. 🔍
Andrew Friedman shrugs off claims the Dodgers' dynasty is over after the 2026 NLCS exit, calling it "noise." He says the team's disappointment stems from letting fans down, and the goal is a parade next November. Miguel Rojas also backs a 2027 rebound. 🎯
Rule 5 crunch time: the Dodgers face mid-November 40-man protection decisions. Right-hander Christian Zazueta (3.44 ERA at Double-A Tulsa) looks like a near-lock to be added, with lefty Jackson Ferris also in the mix. Unprotected prospects risk being poached. 🔒
SNY's John Harper predicts Tarik Skubal, acquired by the Dodgers at the deadline, will sign with the Cubs, who could outbid the Dodgers and Mets, even at roughly eight years and $45M a year. Los Angeles must decide whether to pursue a reunion. 💰
Skubal, acquired from Detroit on Aug. 2, now heads toward a massive offseason deal. The Dodgers' payroll is already stretched, and a possible CBA lockout adds a ticking clock to the decision after their NLCS sweep by Milwaukee. 💰
Way-too-early 2027 look: even with nine free agents leaving, including Tarik Skubal, the Dodgers' roster is built to contend. Second base (.676 OPS, worst on the roster) is the likeliest upgrade spot, and Dalton Rushing's elbow rehab clouds catching depth. 🔧
Dodgers are reportedly viewed as pole-position favorites for Yokohama HS righty Shoki Oda, 18, who set a Koshien record at 97 MPH and has hit 98. Scouting detail is thin, but the five-pitch mix, including an 88-90 MPH split, draws praise.
Rain wiped out Friday's Arizona Fall League slate, so Dodgers lefty Luke Fox now starts Saturday for Glendale against the Javelinas, who lead the AFL with 29 homers. Fox has allowed three earned runs in eight innings across four appearances. 🌧️
The Dodgers are moving top prospect Charles Davalan from the outfield to second base in the Arizona Fall League. FanGraphs' Eric Longenhagen is impressed, calling him a future everyday player. Davalan hit .292 with 24 homers at High-A this year. 🔄
Awards season is here. Andy Pages and Max Muncy are Gold Glove finalists, with winners announced Sunday. Ohtani was top three in both Players Choice honors, and his MVP streak is set to end at three years on Nov. 12. 🏆
Dodgers have 37 players on the 40-man roster, leaving three spots to shield prospects before the Nov. 17 Rule 5 protection deadline. Right-hander Christian Zazueta tops the list of five candidates, with Jackson Ferris also in the mix. 🧢
A satirical roundtable of philosophers, Socrates, Aristotle and Solomon among them, dissects the Dodgers. The verdict: a 100-win season that ended in postseason failure, a lineup heavy on power but old, and an overreliance on the home run. 🤔
Tarik Skubal tops the 2026 free-agent rankings, and his 2.72 ERA across 158.2 innings split between the Tigers and Dodgers makes him the prize. He had elbow surgery to remove loose bodies, and his next deal could set a pitcher record. 💰
The Dodgers marked the passing of labor leader Dolores Huerta with a tribute on social media. It came as the team entered offseason mode, after the Brewers ended their bid for a third straight title in the NLCS. 🕊️
Dodgers enter an uncertain offseason with eight pending free agents, including Tarik Skubal, after falling short of a three-peat. Friedman says it's "business as usual" despite Mark Walter's federal probes, while a likely lockout and salary-cap fight loom. 🔒
The Dodgers signed 17-year-old Dominican right-hander Alberto Santos (6'5", 189 lbs) to a minor-league contract, per MiLB.com. The quiet move came as the Brewers closed out the World Series, which ended L.A.'s three-peat bid. 🔒
