To conclude the Dodgers Community Caravan last week the Dodgers visited City Hall on Friday and met with a group of combat-injured service members and the Wounded Warriors Project for lunch. Photo above via Juan Ocampo/LA Dodgers 2015. Go here to check out more photos from the event.

- RIP, Rocky Bridges. Mark Langill at Dodger Insider passes along the sad news that former Brooklyn Dodger Rocky Bridges has died. Check out his story about him here.
- ICYMI: The two assailants who attacked Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium in 2011 have just plead guilty to additional federal gun possession charges, via an AP report at ESPN. They were already in state prison for attacking Stow and now face time in federal prison. In other words, they are doing everything possible to make sure they never get released.

- Via Jon Weisman at Dodger Insider, "A healthy Joe Wieland is eager to move forward with the Dodgers."
“I’m gonna go into camp and just show ‘em what I have, and I’ll let them make the decision,” he said. “I’m 100 percent ready to go, and I’m gonna do all I can to make it a hard decision on them.”
- BTW, the Dodgers new marketing slogan for the 2015 season is "We Love LA."
“Since 1958, the fans of Southern California have had a love affair with the Dodgers, our broadcasters and Dodger Stadium, and the feeling has been mutual,” said Dodgers’ Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Lon Rosen. “What better way to express our admiration to our fans for their overwhelming support than with this year’s slogan, `We Love LA’”
- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Gabe Kapler's favorite player: A.J. Ellis."
"That's why he stands out to me. He does a great job providing a platform for his teammates to be heard and appreciated. A.J. checks all of those boxes, and that's why he's my favorite player."
- Via Mark Saxon at ESPNLosAngeles.com, "Yasmani Grandal ready to make his mark with Dodgers."
“No pressure at all,” Grandal said. “I want to keep doing the same thing I was doing in San Diego and try to help this team win. They say they needed a catcher. Hopefully, me and A.J. [Ellis] can take this team to a World Series. I think both teams got what they wanted.”
