• Chase Utley would like to play in California next season, and it looks like he’ll get his wish. The Dodgers, Padres, and Angels are all interested in signing the veteran second baseman.
• Bob Geren joined the Dodgers’ coaching staff to be closer to his family. He previously coached for the Mets.
• The Giants may continue to raise their offers to Zack Greinke “to make sure their rival pays the largest amount possible.” 
• SportsNet LA’s Alanna Rizzo was honored by HOPE last night.
• Luckily for the Dodgers, the continually increasing contract rates across the league may make Carl Crawford and Andre Ethier easier to trade.
