Dodgers Sign Yency Almonte
The Los Angeles Dodgers are bringing back reliever Yency Almonte on a minor league deal, per Fabian Ardaya. The reliever battled shoulder trouble after the Dodgers sent him to the Cubs along with Michael Busch. Hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2024. Almonte, 31, spent 2022 and 2023 with the Dodgers. In 2022, he had one of his best seasons in his career posting a 1.02 ERA, 33 K in 33 games. The following year was much worse but Dodgers fixed him before. Can they do it again?

Dodgers Offseason Grade
LA Dodgers Offseason Grade: A+ It only took 2 major signings to make it a successful offseason. They picked up the best free agent to help in the Outfield and a top closer which they desperately needed. For a team that has won it back-to-back seasons, there’s not much else you need to upgrade. Their worst offensive hitter, Conforto, is now gone and in a way upgraded to Tucker. It’s tough to lose Kershaw to retirement, Gonsolin cut, Banda traded, etc but the Dodgers are just t

Dodgers Sign Santiago Espinal
The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed INF Santiago Espinal to a minor-league contract. Espinal, 31, has been in the league since 2020 and was a 2022 All-Star. He started off his career as a good hitter but has been on the decline. In his All-Star year, he had a .267 AVG and .692 OPS in 135 games. Seems like a player Dodgers can fix? 🔵Follow us for more Los Angeles sports scores and news! #ladodgers #dodgersbaseball #dodgers #dodgerblue #itfdb

Edman To Begin Season on IL
Dave Roberts said Tommy Edman won’t be ready for Opening Day as he recovers from offseason ankle surgery. The Dodgers have plenty of options, including Hyeseong Kim, Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland among them. Edman, 30, has been massive for the Dodgers the past few seasons. Unknown yet got much time he’ll miss but hopefully not a lot. 🔵Follow us for more Los Angeles sports scores and news! #ladodgers #dodgersbaseball #dodgers #dodgerblue #itfdb

Dodgers DFA Anthony Banda
The LA Dodgers are designating Anthony Banda for assignment to make room for the Ben Rortvedt claim. Shocking move as Banda was a key part of the bullpen the past few seasons with the Dodgers. He did have an awful postseason last year allowing 6 runs in 5.2 IP but shouldn’t have warranted a DFA. Banda’s time with the Dodgers is likely done unless no one claims or trades for him which most likely will not happen. Thank you @anthony43banda! 🔵Follow us for more Los Angeles spor

Dodgers Claim Ben Rortvedt
C Ben Rortvedt was claimed off waivers by the Dodgers. The Dodgers will need to DFA someone to make room for him in the 40-man roster. Rortvedt, 28, was part of the Dodgers postseason roster and was 4 for 7. He was DFA’d back in November and Reds claimed him then DFA’d by the Reds a few days ago. Solid depth move by the Dodgers but unknown if the Dodgers will DFA him later on. Guess he will have to prove his worth in Spring Training. 🔵Follow us for more Los Angeles sports sc

Michael Siani Re-Claimed By Dodgers
The LA Dodgers have re-claimed OF Michael Siani on waivers. Andy Ibanez, who was signed to a $1.2m contract as a free agent last month, is designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Dodgers can’t seem to decide who they want on their 40-man roster. Siani has been claimed by the Dodgers 3 times in the past few months and DFA’d by the Dodgers twice. Dodgers will lose $1.2 million on Andy Ibáñez unless somehow he comes back someday and plays for them next seaso
