Tommy Edman is having surgery on his right ankle next week, Brandon Gomes said. Still expected to be ready around start of spring training.

It wouldn't surprise anyone to see the Dodgers pursue Kyle Tucker this winter. There's also a real scenario where they go for a stopgap option – perhaps even Ryan Ward – as they sort through their outfield this winter.

Mark Walter once told Shohei Ohtani that what the Dodgers had built, with one title through 10 years, was a failure.

Now, it’s a dynasty.

“It takes pressure off of me,” Walter said, “because I promised (Ohtani) we’d win one. And we did it.”

A Dodgers dynasty with no end in sight: Is this just the beginning?
With Ohtani under contract for 8 more seasons and a farm system that ranks among the best in the sport, the Dodgers could keep rolling.

Kiké Hernández, on the Blue Jays relievers writing Alex Vesia’s No. 51 on their caps last night: “For those guys to do that, it’s incredible.”

A tumble from their manager. A plane delay. A wedge play. And one of the craziest finishes you’ll ever see.
