    Roki Sasaki is broken.

    He doesn't know why he can't throw strikes, and he now sounds open to pitching in the minor leagues.

    What began as a straightforward developmental project has become infinitely more complicated for the Dodgers.

    "But... but Sensei Dave keeps telling me I'm fine."

    I know, racist.

    Dave was always a moron, and still is. I don't care if they build a separate wing on Cooperstown for him, he still does stupid, senseless shit.

    Even if Roki sucks for the rest of his career, in every role, he has already earned every single penny of his contract.

    Poor guy has been bounced like crazy all winter/spring. Didn't help his cause that he hit .167 with a .431 OPS this spring, which is even worse than his career .190/.549 numbers. Were his numbers with the Dodgers last year, .224/.636, just a fluke?

    I'd say LAD should grab him, but only if it can be done as a minor league contract without being on the 40-man. They need to commit to getting Rushing big league ABs this year to see if he can finally make the adjustments.

    Dodgers sign Jake Cousins. Not a bad signing based on his past success, but he had TJ surgery last year and will start the season on the IL.

    For its 2026 MLB coverage, Netflix has assembled a team led by play-by-play announcer Matt Vasgersian and an analyst desk featuring Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Anthony Rizzo, and host Elle Duncan. This crew covers major events including Opening Night, the Home Run Derby, and the Field of Dreams game. With Bonds there It's CLEAR I hope the ratings get CREAMed.

    The Dodgers have talent. Plenty of it. But they’ve managed to cultivate a group where that talent doesn’t turn on each other. No squabbling over roles or egos. Rarely any disharmony.

    compiling a roster of great players who aren’t egomaniacal jerks
    what a concept
