May Tommy Lasorda rest in peace. He certainly brought passion to the Dodger dugout, and I believe he did his best managing in 1981 and ’88, which were championship years for the Dodgers.
I think L.A. made a good move in re-signing Blake Treinen. He’ll be a solid right-handed setup man and occasional closer if he can pitch like he did last season.
