Summary
The Dodgers’ rotation is coming together at the perfect time, and October is starting to look scary for the rest of baseball. We break down why the Dodgers are built for this time of year, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto dealing, Tarik Skubal joining the rotation, Blake Snell dominating, Tyler Glasnow getting closer and Shohei Ohtani working toward his return to the mound. Plus, the Astros made major news by firing GM Dana Brown. What does the move mean for the organization, and what could be next for manager Joe Espada? We also get into the Padres’ new ownership group and their aggressive plans for the future, unveil this week’s MLB Power Rankings, and recap the Little League Classic.
