On Sunday, April 13, 2025, the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Chicago Cubs 4–2 at Dodger Stadium, losing the three-game series two games to one. The standout performer was Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong, who went 3-for-4 with two home runs and a triple, including a go-ahead solo shot in the seventh inning off Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen. Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow delivered a solid outing, striking out seven over six innings and allowing just one run. However, the Dodgers' offense struggled to capitalize, managing only two runs. The Cubs' bullpen was particularly effective, with Ethan Roberts earning the win and Ryan Pressly securing his fourth save of the season.This loss marked the Dodgers' second consecutive defeat in the series, following a 16–0 shutout on Saturday. The team now holds an 11–6 record and will look to rebound in their upcoming series against the Colorado Rockies, starting Monday, April 14.

Jung Hoo Lee
Jung Hoo Lee from the Giants has had big week with lots of base hits and rounded the bases on a three-run home run against Marcus Stroman from the Yankees.
The Dodgers have played one game in Japan. They head over to Japan to play a handful of exhibition games and 2 regular season games.
Ryan Brasier was recently sent to DFA after the signing of all-star Kerby Yates. Brasier was injured for a lot of the 2024 season and was usually the starter in bullpen games. After signing Kerby Yates, and Tanner Scott that's just more bullpen depth.
Dodgers Trade 2nd base Gavin Lux to Reds. In return they get a minor league prospect and a future pick. After the signing of Hyeseong Kim, he will play second, and Mookie Betts will be at shortstop. They will have lost 1 option in the infield but will still have plenty.
Free agency has almost lost all of the stars but still has some stars. Pete Alonso from the New York Mets will most likely not re-sign after the record-breaking deal of Juan Soto. Jack Flaherty from the Los Angeles Dodgers was traded at the deadline from Detroit. Roki Sasaki a starting pitcher from Japan will be cheaper because he is an intermediate international free agent. Alex Bregman a third baseman from the Houston Astros is a big bat and would make an impact on any team. Anthony Santander from the Orioles would be a outstanding clean-up hitter after a breakout 2024.
Dodgers sign Bryan Lara from Mexico. Bryan Lara is a pitcher and definitely brings young talent. He is 16! He could be the next Julio Urias. His fastball can reach 90-92. Not much details on the contract. this is all the information.
Diego Cartaya is a catcher who was recently sent to DFA after signing of Hyeseong Kim. DFA will make it so that any team can sign him. The Dodgers have other prospect catcher so this should not affect them too much.
Dodgers sign infielder Hyeseong Kim on 3-year deal for 12.5 million dollars. Hyeseong Kim was a professional Korean baseball player playing utility. For the next 3 years the Dodgers will have another option at every infield position.
Roki Sasaki is a Japanese pitcher who is entering free agency as an intermediate free agent so teams can only pay him a limited amount of money. He will decide his team in 2025 when they can use their 2025 money. His two most likely teams are the Padres and the Dodgers.
Shohei Ohtani started the 50 50 club on September 19th 2024 and that is something you may never see again. But if Shohei did it once he can do it again. Right? Shohei underwent Tommy John surgery and could only hit. Next year he will also have to pitch so he can't focus on just hitting. So it will most likely be a once in a lifetime achievement.
Teoscar Hernandez re-signs with the Dodgers. He agreed on a salary of 3 years 66million dollars with an option of a 4th year for 15 million dollars. Dodgers' fans were hoping they could keep Teoscar after a great 2024 season giving the Dodgers a clean-up batter and a home run derby champion.
Blake Snell signed a 5 year 182 million dollar contract with the Dodgers. Blake Snell was born on December 4 1992 in Seattle and made his first major leage apperance with the Rays. Snell was traded to the Padres in a 5 player deal with the rays reciving 4 young players. Snell signed as a free agent with the Giants then after 1 year decided to opt-out of a 2 year 62 million dollar contract and sign with the Dodgers. For the 2025 season the dodgers pitching rotation will be made up of four aces Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glassnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Blake Snell. The Dodgers will have more than six pitchers and will have to trade or get rid of either Jack Flaherty or Bobby Miller. Jack Flaherty, coming off a great 2024 season, would probably be one of the last ones you want to trade.
Teoscar Hernandez coming off a 30 home run season seemed to like it in Los Angeles But now entering the 2024-2025 free agency he could go anywhere. In my opinion, he will sign back with LA even though he declined a three-year offer in November. Teams that had seemed interested were the Blue Jays, the Red Sox and the Dodgers.The Dodgers seem like they want Teoscar Hernandez back. He could stay a four hole or move to third and put Freddie Freeman as clean up hitter.
