The Dodgers signed 17-year-old Dominican right-hander Alberto Santos (6'5", 189 lbs) to a minor-league contract, per MiLB.com's transactions log. No pro stats yet. A quiet depth move, made as the Brewers closed out the World Series. 🔍
The Dodgers signed 6-foot-5 right-hander Alberto Santos to a minor-league contract, per MiLB.com's transactions log. The 17-year-old from the Dominican Republic has no available stats, so this is a quiet flier while the Brewers celebrate the title. 🎯
Shohei Ohtani faded after a strong first three months of 2026, managing just two homers from July on and giving up pitching. Andrew Friedman says surgery is off the table, and the Dodgers are excited for him to pitch again in 2027. The open question: how to keep him durable. 🔧
On this day in Dodgers history: Sandy Koufax won the 1963 NL MVP, edging Dick Groat 237-190 after going 25-5 with a 1.88 ERA and 306 strikeouts. The Dodgers also sold Ebbets Field to Marvin Kratter in 1956, with a leaseback. Koufax: quietly unfair. ⚾
Hyeseong Kim could be squeezed out as the Dodgers' 40-man roster crunch looms. Prospects like Zazueta, Ferris and Gelof may need Rule 5 protection, and Kim played just 43 games in 2026 after losing the second base job to Alex Freeland. Make-or-break 2027 awaits. 🔧
Ex-GM Jim Bowden floated a plan for Shohei Ohtani in 2027: preplanned relief outings once or twice a week, then a move to the Dodgers' rotation in August for about 12 starts, with a fresh arm for October. Just Bowden's idea, not a Dodgers decision. 🧠
Blake Snell says he'll be "recruiting" Tarik Skubal to re-sign with the Dodgers this offseason. Skubal, who posted a 2.61 ERA in 10 regular-season starts after arriving in August, declined to discuss free agency. Snell's pitch: lobbying 🎣
Kyle Tucker made MLB.com's All-Postseason Team at right field, hitting .333 with a .938 OPS in eight games, his best single-postseason OPS. Fitting salvage from a frustrating first Dodgers season, even if the lineup around him stalled against Milwaukee. 🏅
Andy Pages qualifies for arbitration as a Super Two player. The cutoff is 2 years, 133 days, and he'll sit at 2.155 after 2026. That lets him negotiate a raise before reaching three years of service, one more item on the Dodgers' offseason list. 📋
Tarik Skubal's free-agent price is the question, and Blake Snell's five-year, $182 million Dodgers deal looks like the benchmark Skubal could chase. A pending lockout may delay any market, and his elbow surgery adds a wrinkle. 🔍
Dave Roberts expects teams to chase more defense, speed and contact after Milwaukee, which swept the Dodgers in the NLCS and then won the World Series. "Ball in play is still king," he said, though he didn't reveal an offseason plan. ⚾
Tarik Skubal's free-agent chase is expected to include the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets and Blue Jays, but ESPN's David Schoenfield calls the Cubs a "perfect fit." Los Angeles would have to outbid a few big spenders for a record-setting deal. 💰
The Dodgers, who landed Tarik Skubal in August, reportedly won't offer 10 years and $400 million, per The Athletic's Katie Woo. A shorter, Kyle Tucker-style deal with opt-outs is the speculated path, though Scott Boras may not bite. 🤔
Dodgers have six arbitration-eligible players (Stewart, Cousins, Call, Sheehan, Stone, Pages) ahead of the Nov. 20 non-tender deadline. Brock Stewart, projected at $1.8MM, looks like a tender: effective when healthy, and cheap. 🧾
Eduardo Quintero reached base three times with two walks and a stolen base (6-for-6 in AFL), but Williams Salazar got one out, walked three and took the blown-save loss as Glendale fell 13-10 to Peoria. Luke Fox starts Friday. 🔥
Offseason's live: Brewers beat the Rays, and the Dodgers' free-agent list includes Tarik Skubal, Kris Bubic, Evan Phillips and Alex Vesia. Exclusive negotiating window runs to Nov. 2, the qualifying-offer deadline. A lockout may scrap the Winter Meetings. ⏳
Dave Roberts says the Dodgers were hungry but the Brewers were "starving" in their four-game World Series sweep, which ended the three-peat bid. Fangraphs' Paul Sporer also ranks Emmet Sheehan first among his 2027 fantasy players to watch, citing fastball command. 🔒
Dodgers enter an offseason of uncertainty: bullpen and pitching depth top the to-do list, Shohei Ohtani's health is a question, and a likely Dec. 1 lockout could freeze the market. Andrew Friedman says the front office is preparing to act whenever the market opens. 🔒
This installment of "Great Moments in Dodger History" covers 2001-2013, opening with Shawn Green's record 49-homer season in 2001 and his 4-homer, 19-total-base game in 2002. Dan Evans' hiring of Logan White also reshaped the franchise's draft pipeline. ⚾
The Brewers dominate MLB's 2026 All-Postseason Team after sweeping through the NLCS against the Dodgers and winning the World Series. Jake Bauers' 11-pitch homer off Blake Snell and Brice Turang's shot off Tarik Skubal headline the Dodgers' October exit. 🧹
