  • Three-Inning Save: Dodgers land Blake Snell & extend Tommy Edman

    Three-Inning Save: Dodgers land Blake Snell & extend Tommy Edman
    Dec 6 2024
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Blake Snell is now a Dodger as the team swam in the deep end of the free agent pool early in the offseason. We look at how Snell fits the rotation, plus highlights from his press conference at Dodger Stadium, thoughts on the Dodgers payroll, and all those deferrals. Tommy Edman was going to be a free agent after 2025, but they signed the infielder/outfielder to a five-year deal to keep him through 2029. Those two deals alone make this the most money the Dodgers have added prior to the winter meetings than the first 10 offseasons of the Andrew Friedman-led Dodgers front office combined. Also, Freddie Freeman had surgery on the sprained right ankle that hampered him during October, until winning World Series MVP. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network.

  • Three-Inning Save: The unanimity of Shohei Ohtani

    Three-Inning Save: The unanimity of Shohei Ohtani
    Nov 26 2024
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, Shohei Ohtani won the National League MVP award unanimously, and the Dodgers made a slew of roster moves in the last week. Ohtani is the only MLB player ever with more than one unanimous MVP win, and he’s done so in three of the last four years. He joined Frank Robinson as the only players to win MVP in both the American League and National League. We also look at the Dodgers making some roster moves in the last week, which featured deadlines to set reserve lists for the Rule 5 Draft and to tender contracts to players on the 40-man roster. And Chris Woodward will be the first base coach in 2025, replacing Clayton McCullough who left to manage the Marlins. Left-hander Jack Dreyer was added to the roster after strong numbers in Triple-A and Double-A this season. Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May, both of whom missed all of 2024 after elbow surgery, avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to terms on contracts for 2025. Postseason cult hero Brent Honeywell and left-hander Zach Logue were non-tendered, making them free agents. Both pitchers are out of options, as is Connor Brogdon, who was sent outright to Triple-A but opted for free agency instead. We analyze the Dodgers 40-man roster, which now has 36 players, including 22 pitchers and 14 position players. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network.

    Three-Inning Save: The Dodgers offseason is here
    Nov 19 2024
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, the offseason is here, and we take stock of the Dodgers, roster, decisions so far, and those yet to come. Since the season ended, three Dodgers had surgeries: Shohei Ohtani to repair a torn labrum after dislocating his left shoulder in the World Series, Clayton Kershaw had procedures on his left foot and left knee, and Brusdar Graterol had left shoulder surgery to repair his labrum. Austin Barnes and Miguel Rojas are back after their options were picked up. Plus we talked about free agents like Teoscar Hernández and Walker Buehler, plus the intrigue surrounding when Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki will be posted to MLB. For more on Sasaki, informative pieces were written by Daniel Brim at Dodgers Digest and by Jim Allen. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network.

  • Three-Inning Save: Dodgers win the damn World Series

    Three-Inning Save: Dodgers win the damn World Series
    Oct 31 2024
    On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap the Dodgers winning the World Series. We recap the final three games at Yankee Stadium, which began with a Walker Buehler win in Game 3 in New York and ended with a Walker Buehler save two days later. In between was a study in bullpen management and game theory, plus a stunning comeback in Game 5 with the Dodgers erasing a 5-0 deficit to win their second championship in five years. Freddie Freeman electrified Dodger Stadium with his walk-off grand slam in Game 1, and homered in each of the first four games of the series. He delivered a two-run single in the Game 5 comeback, and finished with 12 RBI, tying a record on his way to winning the World Series MVP award.
