Guess who's in LA?
As you know, today is round 2 of the 'will he, or won't he' Clayton Kershaw sweepstakes, and I think it's getting clearer what the decision will be.
Clayton Kershaw was spotted at the LAFC home game yesterday with teammate Joc Pederson and funnyman Will Ferrell, and I'd be willing to bet that he'll be present for a special announcement today. So, stay tuned!

- This Day in Dodgers History: In 1976 the Dodgers traded minor league catcher Steven Patchin to the Royals for future Baseball legend Ron Washington. He would wear Dodger Blue for only one season, 1977, getting into just ten games as a 25-year old rookie. -- he slashed .368/.400/.368/.768 with seven singles in 19 at-bats. He is more famed for being a highly regarded manager. In 1977 Tommy John comes in a distant second place in Cy Young voting -- having been beaten by Steve Carlton of the Phillies. John went 20-7 for the Dodgers with an 2.78 ERA, FIP of 3.05, eleven complete games and three shutouts.

- Per Laurence Reisman at TC Palm; "Indian River County reaches preliminary deal to lease Dodgertown to Major League Baseball."
"We're very, very close to working out the terms of a lease agreement," Tony Reagins, MLB's senior vice president of youth programs, said Thursday morning. "We're excited about the opportunity to enhance the programs there."“We’re past the handshake,” said Peter O’Malley, the former Los Angeles Dodgers owner who in 2011 began running the county-owned sports complex after Minor League Baseball, citing financial losses, left. He brought the county and MLB together.
- Come on! This is stupid! Via a tweet from Tom Hoffarth:
Now it can be told: @BillPlaschke details getting dunked w ice water by @YasielPuig in NLCS locker room. It was mean spirited and shouldn’t be tolerated. Should Bill have written about it? Sounds like when Deion Sanders assaulted TMcCarver in ‘92: https://t.co/SjdndFG9cH https://t.co/zNjnlGcsrE— Tom Hoffarth (@tomhoffarth) October 31, 2018
