It’s obvious how Mookie Betts plans to become an elite shortstop for the #Dodgers — by working at it. But why does he want to do this? “To win,” he says. There’s more to it than that www.ocregister.com/2025/03/30/d...

So far, the moments have been too big for Roki Sasaki — and the strike zone not big enough www.ocregister.com/2025/03/29/d...

In case you missed yesterday, I talked with Bill Plunkett about his new book on Shohei Ohtani, plus Palm Springs stuff

The Dodgers have praised Shohei Ohtani for his ability to handle having “a lot on his plate” as a two-way player. But now they’re taking some off his plate www.ocregister.com/2025/03/06/d...

It was a pleasure talking with @billplunkett.bsky.social about his new book, and also reminisce about his time in Palm Springs And how 27 years ago, in Dennys Reyes' debut in a divisional race, I knew I liked Bill even before I met him

Roki Sasaki in “compete mode” was a different pitcher than the Dodgers had seen in bullpen sessions and live BP www.ocregister.com/2025/03/04/d...

Sliding doors -- if #Dodgers lose NLDS Game 4 to SD, calls for Dave Roberts' job would have been loud. They fashioned an 8-pitcher, bullpen-game shutout and went on to win the World Series. Now Roberts has a HOF resume' and might become the highest-paid manager www.ocregister.com/2025/03/03/d...

#Dodgers knew Hyeseong Kim was going to have some adjustments to make, going from KBO pitching to MLB. An interim step in the minor leagues might be in order -- giving the LAD roster a little breathing room in the meantime. www.ocregister.com/2025/02/25/d...
