Get the latest news and rumors about the Los Angeles Dodgers from Rant Sports.
Most MLB batters have a song they choose that plays over the loud speakers when they come up to bat. Relief pitchers also have a tune they select. For instance, Mariano Rivera runs onto the mound to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman”, and former great Trevor Hoffman used to sprint out of the bullpen to the sounds [...]
Today’s double header between the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers already had two significant storylines. First, the Dodgers were in Yankees Stadium for the first time since the 1981 World Series, one of the few positives of interleague play. And secondly, it was the return of Don Mattingly, the beloved former Yankees [...]
With Josh Beckett, it may be more of an issue of being overpaid than being overrated. You would expect someone making $15.75 million a year to have a huge impact on their team, but Beckett has not been impressive since arriving on the scene with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Beckett’s best years are way behind [...]
Now the weather is starting to hate the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a nice, clear day in the Bronx on Tuesday, the rain rolled into the Tri-State area to wash away the opening game of a two-game series against the New York Yankees. The two teams will play a day-night doubleheader on Wednesday. Game 1 is [...]

There was a big time brawl between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a normal Major League Baseball fight where both benches cleared but no one really did anything aggressive. Then Ian Kennedy tried to take Zack Greinke’s head off and another brawl started. This one was not normal. It was [...]
I was very shocked when the Los Angeles Dodgers sent Yasiel Puig back to Triple-A before the 2013 season got underway. I was thinking that the Dodgers had something there. It may have taken until June for the team to make the right move but Puig is showing that he should have been with the [...]
Raise your hand if you have ever had more bills than you have money to pay them. Don’t feel bad because I assure you my hand was up as well. One group you might not expect to be involved in those that just raised their hands are the owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Their [...]
The term spot starter doesn’t seem to do justice to what Stephen Fife has been able to provide to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Yes the team went into the season with about a dozen starting pitchers and sure, Fife was a long way down that list. There seems to be something behind Fife however as [...]
