- Updated: December 26, 2014
We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers.
ESPN.com explores the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen options:
“The Dodgers now have what they like to call a “highly functional roster,” which of course invites the question of what last year’s group — which somehow sputtered and bickered its way to 94 wins — was.
Most people who were around this team last year have a pretty good idea what Andrew Friedman was talking about when he brought up the topic of functionality.
Manager Don Mattingly will no longer have to spend a chunk of his day worrying about what a benched multi-millionaire outfielder will do — or say to the media. The defense in the middle of the infield should be strong enough to support the Dodgers’ strong pitching. The back end of the rotation is younger and there should be some occasional hits from the catcher’s position in the batting order.“

Bleacher Report explores the idea of signing Scherzer:
“Ever since Guggenheim Baseball Management purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012, the Dodgers have been the most polarizing team in MLB. They immediately went out and acquired superstars like Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley Ramirez, infusing a drastic win-now philosophy into the organization.
The Dodgers were second in the league in team salary in 2013, and their payroll ballooned to over $235 million in 2014, which led the league by over $30 million, according to Deadspin.
However, that star-studded roster could not bring a World Series championship to Hollywood in either year. They managed to only win one playoff series, losing to the Cardinals in the NLCS in 2013 and then again to the Redbirds last year in the first round.”
