On Saturday, the Dodgers signed designated hitter JD Martinez, which made it seem less likely that Justin Turner would be back. On Sunday, that sad fact became official as Turner signed with the Red Sox on a two-year deal. Jeff is here to talk about the heartbreaking reality that the captain will be wearing a different uniform next season. We also talk about Martinez and the fact that he's probably an offensive upgrade over Turner, what it might mean for guys like Will Smith that the DH Day Off isn't an option anymore, and other implications of the Martinez signing. And finally, we talk about the Dodgers signing Bradley Zimmer to a minor-league deal, Dansby Swanson signing with the Cubs, and a few other odds and ends.

Los Angeles Dodgers suffer a frustrating series loss to the Miami Marlins, marked by wasted opportunities and lackluster offense. Can Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman rediscover their spark before it’s too late? Pete Fox rants about the Dodgers’ inability to convert leadoff runners and the team’s alarming struggles in clutch situations, with Freeman going 0-for-5 and the lineup faltering despite multiple chances.

Breaking down Tyler Glasnow’s stellar outing—nine strikeouts over five and two-thirds—but lamenting another wasted start due to anemic run support, the analysis spotlights cold bats at the top of the order, intermittent momentum, and key mismanagement of challenges. As the Dodgers prepare to regroup during an off day before facing the St. Louis Cardinals, questions remain: Will the offense wake up, or is a deeper slump looming for the reigning NL West powerhouse?

The Los Angeles Dodgers fall short despite Shohei Ohtani’s nine-strikeout performance—is mere “good” from Ohtani enough for this powerhouse squad?

Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers break down a frustrating loss to the Miami Marlins, spotlighting the Dodgers’ lackluster offensive approach and missed opportunities against non-elite pitching. With stars like Will Smith and Freddie Freeman unable to deliver crucial hits and questionable at-bats from Kyle Tucker and Max Muncy, the Dodgers’ potent lineup raised more questions than runs.

The discussion heats up as Blake Snell impresses in his rehab start, presenting tough rotation decisions for Dave Roberts. The episode also spotlights Don Mattingly’s sudden promotion to interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, setting up a “nepo daddy” storyline with his son in the GM seat. What does organizational stability look like, and can Mattingly spark a turnaround for struggling, big-spending teams? All that and more on today’s episode of Locked On Dodgers !
