Dodgers Notes: Ohtani vs. Judge, Corey Seager’s Career Milestone, Freddie Freeman Reflects

The Dodgers suffered their most lopsided loss of the season Sunday, 14-3 in Arizona, as Justin Wrobleski (5.1 innings, 10 earned runs) bore the brunt of the burden for a beleaguered pitching staff.

Here are all the headlines you might have missed Sunday:

The Showdown: Shohei Ohtani vs. Aaron Judge

The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani and the Yankees’ Aaron Judge are at the center of a fiery debate: who’s the superior player this season? In a recent Dodgers Nation poll, fans overwhelmingly favored Ohtani, heralding his dual-threat capabilities as he nears a historic 50-50 season — a milestone never before achieved in the MLB. Judge is also having an exceptional season, making it the substance of a good debate.

Corey Seager’s Historic Milestone

Corey Seager, once a Dodger, now continues to excel with the Rangers, becoming the first left-handed hitting shortstop to hit 200 career home runs. He hit most of those with the Dodgers from 2016-22, but has exceeded his previous power output over two-plus seasons in Texas.

Yordan Alvarez on His Unexpected Trade

Yordan Alvarez shared an amusing and enlightening back story about his early days in the Dodgers’ organization, recalling his confusion and surprise when the Dodgers traded him to the Astros just two months post-signing. Alvarez’s journey in the Astros’ organization began with a misunderstanding and has since seen him become an MLB powerhouse.

Freddie Freeman’s Reflective Return

Freddie Freeman’s recent return to the Dodgers lineup was monumental, after the first baseman overcame personal and physical challenges. Check out Freeman’s candid thoughts on his brief sabbatical from the game and triumphant return with a home run against the Diamondbacks.
