The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly signed a former Texas Rangers' World Series champion pitcher to upgrade their rotation.

The Dodgers will present a World Series ring to one of their former teammates on Monday whose statistics — and former manager — suggest he's in a better place.

Dodgers win World Series in 5 games, overcome 5-run deficit with help of errors to beat Yankees 7-6 by: RONALD BLUM, Associated Press Posted: Oct 31, 2024 / 08:10 AM EDT

MLB insider Mark Fiensand predictes the Dodgers to extend one of their World Series stars after the 2025 season.

The Dodgers are always looking to add. Los Angeles can add a huge piece in a new role right in time for the postseason.

Jason Heyward was finally honored by the Dodgers for being a part of their 2024 roster that ended up winning the World Series.

The Arizona Diamondbacks fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 31 on a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th inning.

"As such, how about a more gutsy swing, like Detroit Tigers bench coach George Lombard?" Kline suggested, naming Lombard the "ideal" manager for the Yankees next year. " (Tigers manager) A.J. Hinch is a genius, as the Yankees know well. Perhaps some of that could rub off on Lombard, who has the chance to coach for decades to come at 49 years old."

Cincinnati Reds veteran Gavin Lux is to be presented his 2024 World Series ring before the opener of the Dodgers series in Los Angeles.

Ohtani threw a kitchen sink of seven pitches at the Cincinnati Reds in notching his first win of the season. Better yet, his four-seam fastball hovered at 98.2 mph, just 0.1 off his season average, while his sinker was at 96.6 mph, 0.4 above average.
