- This is great news. Via Bill Shaikin of the LA Times on twitter:
He won't travel much this year, but Vin Scully says he'll call #Dodgers' opener in San Diego: https://t.co/b9AG26qtuQ— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) February 24, 2016
- Via Doug Padilla at ESPN, "Dodgers set to lock in Justin Turner at third base."
“We're going to keep [Turner] over at third base,” (Dave) Roberts said. “Things can change, but I don't see us deviating from that.”
- Padilla also wrote a great piece about Greg Maddux; "Greg Maddux eager to share knowledge with Dodgers pitchers." Link Here.
"I think the main thing is to try to help the players," Maddux said. "Obviously, I have to get to know them first, and they have to get to know you. I’ll just watch the players and get to know them. If there’s something I can say or do that might make them better, that’s the goal -- to try to make the players better."
- Via Shawn Anderson at the Hall of Very Good, "Hyun-Jin Ryu Throws Party for Fellow Korean Players."
- Nick Cafardo at the Boston Globe suggest that the Dodgers might consider parting ways with Carl Crawford (link here).
Don’t be shocked if the Dodgers part ways with Carl Crawford and eat the remaining $42 million on his contract. There comes a point of diminishing returns — and a time to fill his roster spot with a younger, more productive player — and it seems the Dodgers are getting closer to that point.
- Dustin Nosler at Dodgers Digest shares his list of "2016 Dodgers Top 100 Prospects: No. 20-11."
- Via Ron Cervenka at Think Blue LA, "Brandon Beachy’s time has come … finally."
“We’re excited to have him back, second year removed from Tommy John he said that he feels great, the ball’s coming out,” said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. “He’s got a great look in his eye, he really does, and I don’t think he’s too concerned about the mechanics of the 40 or not, he just wants to stay healthy and compete and pitch well. And so I think that things always have a way of working themselves out so that’s our number one concern.”
