On Saturday, the Dodgers signed designated hitter JD Martinez, which made it seem less likely that Justin Turner would be back. On Sunday, that sad fact became official as Turner signed with the Red Sox on a two-year deal. Jeff is here to talk about the heartbreaking reality that the captain will be wearing a different uniform next season. We also talk about Martinez and the fact that he's probably an offensive upgrade over Turner, what it might mean for guys like Will Smith that the DH Day Off isn't an option anymore, and other implications of the Martinez signing. And finally, we talk about the Dodgers signing Bradley Zimmer to a minor-league deal, Dansby Swanson signing with the Cubs, and a few other odds and ends.

Los Angeles Dodgers capture back-to-back World Series titles with dramatic Game 7 extra-innings victory in Toronto. Can anyone stop this dynasty?

Travis Rodgers breaks down the Dodgers' historic championship run, becoming the first team to repeat since 2000 and the first National League squad in 50 years. The analysis covers Yoshinobu Yamamoto's legendary three-game heroics, Miguel Rojas's unlikely game-tying home run, and Will Smith's clutch 11th-inning blast that sealed the title. Despite never hitting their stride offensively, the Dodgers went 13-4 in the playoffs through sheer resiliency and championship experience.

Key topics include Dave Roberts' tactical decisions, the bizarre journey from Japan to Canada, and how role players like Kiki Hernandez stepped up when stars struggled. Rogers examines why this unconventional championship path makes the victory even more remarkable.

Discover how the Dodgers won it all without playing their best baseball and what this means for their dynasty aspirations. All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!

The Los Angeles Dodgers face elimination after offensive collapse leaves them down 3-2 to Toronto Blue Jays in World Series.

The Dodgers have scored just 4 runs in their last 29 innings, turning what should be a championship celebration into a desperate fight for survival. Mookie Betts looks lost at the plate, Freddie Freeman can't find his swing, and rookie Trey Yesavage carved through LA's star-studded lineup with 12 strikeouts in Game 5.

Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers break down the team's hero-ball mentality that's killing rallies, Blake Snell's rough outing compounded by defensive breakdowns, and Edgardo Henriquez's seventh-inning meltdown that mirrors Game 4's bullpen disaster. With Yamamoto taking the mound for must-win Game 6 in Toronto, the hosts analyze what adjustments Dave Roberts must make and whether this talented core can force a Game 7 or watch their back-to-back championship dreams die.

Can the Dodgers' lineup finally wake up before it's too late? All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers!
