The Los Angeles Dodgers escaped to beat the New York Mets, 7-5, in a 13-inning thriller on Friday evening. The game was sent to extra innings via a three-run Mets ninth inning, but L.A. held on and improved to 32-19.
In more good news for Dodgers fans, Shohei Ohtani is set to take a major step in his return to the mound and his eventual pitching debut in a Dodgers uniform. The three-time MVP will face hitters for the first time in his recovery after recently starting to incorporate breaking balls into his bullpen sessions.
Speaking of elite pitching, Southern California native and Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes is linked in a hypothetical trade from a top MLB insider’s proposal. The would-be blockbuster has the Dodgers giving up quite a haul for the reigning NL Rookie of the Year.
Finally, in order to improve a weaker position in the Dodgers’ defense, L.A. has been expected to go all in on one of the best outfielders in the game. Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker is set to make top dollar when he hits free agency, and the Dodgers are known for shelling out whatever it takes for top talent.
