Dodgers News

The Dodgers bounced back from yesterday's painful 1-7 loss to the Athletics, showcasing their resilience by coming from behind to defeat the Padres 12-7, ending the game on a 12-run scoring spree. Mookie Betts returned to the lineup, proving his worth after a brief absence due to wrist soreness, while Tommy Edman's strong performance post-injury should ease any lingering concerns about his contract and role. Yet, the drama surrounding Kyle Tucker's media absence added a dose of off-field intrigue, reminding fans how sometimes the headlines come from unexpected places. Despite the recent loss, the Dodgers are 5-2 in their last week, maintaining a solid run differential of +14, which hints that the offense is firing on all cylinders heading into the weekend.

Most baseball fans know that July 1 is colloquially known as Bobby Bonilla Day. In 2000, the New York Mets decided to defer the remaining $5.9 million left on Bonilla’s contract after they released him for batting .160. Bonilla’s agent used that dismal batting average to his client’s advantage, knowing the team just wanted him […]
