I always liked Kuroda, but I don't remember him having good win/loss records most years, but I don't remember him giving up many runs either.

***Just looked it up, lifetime 3.45 ERA in MLB...that's pretty good

JRX-What I meant was don’t underestimate Yamamoto, because of his small frame.
I didn’t mean he was going to be a HOFer

[Dodgerfan74]

Dodgers going to probably hold back Buehler until midseason, because of surgery. Kershaw won’t be back until after the AllStar game. May and Gonsolin won’t be back until 2025. Dodgers need to trade for one more starter-#2 or #3

Do they?
Yamamoto
Glasnow
Miller
Sheehan
Gavin Stone and Michael Grove until Buehler and Kershaw are ready…

I would be more comfortable with Cease or Burnes or someone of that calibur. Anyone with only a this year remaining is ideal as the Dodgers look to have too much pitching going into 2025.

We have a ton of blocked prospects. Time to trade a few.

Tomorrow is the Yamamoto press conference do you know if they close the top of the field? Would be cool to check it out

[Dodgerfan74]

Michael Busch-3rd Looks like management will keep him on 28 man roster
Muncy-2nd better position for him
Freeman-1st
Vargas/Rojas-SS
I don’t know if Busch can play the outfield, which would be perfect for Dodgers(being able to play multiple positions)
Andy Page- Outfield
Wait for Kershaw to come back after All Star game and or Dustin May

They already said Betts is going to be their primary 2nd baseman

[Dodgerfan74]

Oops!
I don’t like it. Whose idea was it? Mookie or Roberts?
Outfield is weaker. Maybe Busch plays outfield?
or do Dodgers have faith in Pages? or trade coming?
I don’t like Muncy at 3rd

Not really sure. But Roberts was quoted as saying "it's pretty safe to say that number 50 is going to be our primary second baseman."

Should also be noted that back in July, Mookie said that he's never considered himself a right fielder.

I would probably lean towards it being done to make Mookie happy

Lux will be the starting SS barring any setbacks with his rehab. Mookie playing 2B tells me that Vargas is likely getting traded.

From Houston Mitchell-Dodger writer
The team is not perfect, but here’s next season’s rotation:

Yoshinobu Yamamoto
Tyler Glasnow
Walker Buehler
Bobby Miller
Emmet Sheehan/Gavin Stone/someone else

Buehler might not be ready for opening day and will be on an innings restriction this season. If you are wondering about Clayton Kershaw, he won’t be back until July or so. Then he will decide who to sign with. Tony Gonsolin will probably miss the season because of Tommy John surgery. Dustin May won’t be back until August, if then, after his elbow surgery.
Let’s take a look at a possible 26-man roster for the Dodgers.

Mookie Betts, 2B
Shohei Ohtani, DH
Freddie Freeman, 1B
Will Smith, C
Max Muncy, 3B
James Outman, CF
Chris Taylor, LF
Jason Heyward, RF
Gavin Lux, SS
Bench
Austin Barnes
Manuel Margot
Miguel Rojas
Miguel Vargas/Michael Busch

Bullpen
Yency Almonte
Caleb Ferguson
Brusdar Graterol
Joe Kelly
Evan Phillips
Blake Treinen/Daniel Hudson
Alex Vesia
Ryan Yarbrough

The outfield is very suspect. I assume Margot will be in a platoon situation with Taylor and Heyward, but no upgrade from last year’s outfield.

We’ve got the makings of a dominant pen if Fergie, Almonte, and Vesia can be consistent.

I'm hoping Pages comes up and has a good year a la Outman. The Dodgers still need another starter...I'm hoping for Cease or Burnes

[ucLAkers]

Anyone here going to South Korea?

[Dodgerfan74]

lol
Are the Dodgers going to sign the Korean pitcher from KBO League?

[joserobles]

Rumor now is that they will sign Teoscar Hernandez to play left field. He's looking for a multi year deal. I know he has some power, but also has a high strikeout rate. Would they be better off giving Pages a shot at earning a spot? Or signing Kike back for a one year to given them more flexibility to move Taylor/Kike around?

[speedyjg13]

Magic Johnson ain't playing around! He wants the ring. Dodgers sign Teoscar Hernandez, 1 year, 23.5 million. Congrats Teoscar!!!!!

[Dodgerfan74]

What are Dodgers going to do with Andy Pages? I guess he’s not ready to start,

[Galileo77]

He missed almost all last year with a major shoulder injury (torn labrum) probably will start at Double AA and progress slowly

[1800gambler]

Latest additions. This counts as a Dodger card now right? Ha

I love me some true orange.



Edit: don’t mind that top edge on the shohei, that’s just the light reflecting off the penny sleeve. The edge is good money!

No mention of autographs this year and a much shorter fanfest…usually from 10-4, this year from 11-3.
