No matter how you try to explain it, it was a dumb move.  

DBacks actually got better after the deadline.    Their pen improved which was a problem last year.

But they lost their best three players after Marte and Carroll.

Naylor, Suarez, Merrill Kelly...big chunk of that team gone.

Sanchez can't get him out.

Dayn Perry of CBS Sports (who I think is a big-time Cub fan) has a story this morning saying the Dodgers are going to go after Kyle Tucker this off season to take the place of Conforto in the outfield.

So basically it's the Dodgers versus the Yankees for him...w/ Cubs barely an afterthought as they tout Owen Caissie's readiness.

Edwin Diaz trumpets in LA seem quite fitting. Wearing #3.

Kyle Tucker doing the little things in both games so far.

What is Uniqlo? Why Dodgers' stadium has new name for 202...

It's a first of its kind deal for the Dodgers.

What 2026 regular season means for Los Angeles Dodgers

L.A. is all about October. So what happens over the next six months? We separate fact from fiction.

Dodgers rallied from 6-1 down to lead Nats 8-6 amid growing concerns about Sasaki and Sheehan in the rotation.

Just Wrobleski next up...then maybe River Ryan.

Five comeback wins already.

“That’s how you got to do it in L.A.,” declared Matthew Oviedo, 32, who grew up in East Los Angeles, one of the prominently Latino communities where lowriders were popularized.

Latinos make up about 40% of the Dodgers fanbase. But like the team, the city in which they play and America at large, Dodger fans are an ethnic melting pot – White, Asian, Black and Latino. Heritage Nights have become popular for MLB teams celebrating different cultures, and this season the Dodgers have scheduled seven – one night each for Japanese, Mexican, Filipino, Black, Guatemalan, Salvadoran and Korean cultures.

As America's 250th anniversary approaches, the Dodgers provide a powerful lens through which to view the country's history − specifically, issues of social migration, civil rights and immigration
