2026 Dodgers Opening Day Roster Projection: Espinal promoted, Kim (was) closing in, clarity for rotation & pen battles (Via @Dodgers) The first attempt at guessing the Opening Day roster for the Dodgers happened over a month ago and already seems quite outdated, so let’s have another go at it now that there’s been further clarity achieved following the games getting underway. Again, you’d think a team like this wouldn’t have many battles, and …

2026 Dodgers Opening Day Roster Projection: Espinal promoted, Kim (was) closing in, clarity for rotation & pen battles

Another month, another roster prediction. This time with more sure things and sharpening battles for the rotation and pen. But the latest on Kim is a reminder injuries could always change things in an instant.

Man what a surprisingly competitive pool, though. Australia was one catch on a double-play ball from topping the group over Japan and now this.

The World Series finish into this WBC pool play round has been absolutely bonkers for the sport, lmao.

Roki fights command, Espinal stars, first cuts, relievers excel, WBC, Stone avoids the worst, depth gambit finally works, more The Dodgers actually made first cuts a while ago, but it wasn’t really anything newsworthy. Really this is mostly about updates on the Spring Training battles and the prospects excelling, because there’s been a lot of cool highlights. Also, some could-be-worse injury news and their depth gambit finally working. Shohei Ohtani doing Shohei Ohtani things. …

I keep getting commercials for that David movie, but I've been watching a TikTok account of a slingshot specialist, and it made me realize dude had an ancient gun. Horrifying sounds from that weapon.

Regardless of this game's outcome, a weird situation follows where South Korea has to be Japan's biggest fan for at least a couple games, lol.

Dude, these WBC pool play games are insane

Mostly updates on the ST battles and prospects excelling because there’s been a lot of cool highlights. But also uneventful first cuts, some could-be-worse injury news, and their depth gambit finally working.

Put Ohtani on the mound.

Does Yoshida seriously only show up for the WBC?

#ShouldOf gotten #Bumtani.

For future use:

Pitch to Shohei, you cowards.

Japan pinch-hitting the reigning MVP is pretty wild.

Taneichi sitting 96-97 MPH up in the zone and then dropping that split at 91-92 is nasty.

He fucking killed him, dude.

I've seen enough, Hyeseong Kim 4 WAR season incoming.

Embarrassment of Riches: Dodgers have full outfields worth of prospects at every level (Via @Dodgers) In my 20+ years of following the Dodgers’ minor league system, I cannot remember the organization having such an abundance of outfield prospects. It’s come a long way from the days of Franklin Gutierrez and Reggie Abercrombie. However, time has taught us that quantity is key, as even the top rated or most …

Embarrassment of Riches: Dodgers have full outfields worth of prospects at every level

Today in thinly-veiled excuses for public kink display, lol.

former San Francisco and Boston prospect James Tibbs III

“Chad Chad” is right there waiting for you if you have the guts to take it

Even all the Taiwanese guys are mid-90s. Crazy.

I mean it doesn't really matter, he wasn't pitching again until the quarters anyway. bsky.app/profile/embu...

Okamoto and Murakami working in tandem to rattle Yamamoto. Stay woke.

Need to move with this confidence.
