Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers have opened their hefty pocketbooks by reportedly agreeing to a six-year deal with Cuban right-handed pitcher Yaisel Sierra.

Jon Heyman of MLB Network first reported Tuesday on the agreement between the Dodgers and Sierra. Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com confirmed the deal, adding it will be worth between $30 million and $33 million. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers were never going to replace Zack Greinke. That may as well have been a decree from the baseball gods.

After losing Zack Greinke via free agency, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a move to bolster their pitching staff, as they reportedly agreed to a deal with Japanese starting pitcher Kenta Maeda. 

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports first reported the signing, and ESPN.com's Jim Bowden and Mark Saxon confirmed the deal Saturday. 

Scott Kazmir is nice. Quite fine, even.

But Scott Kazmir is not enough to fix what is becoming a more uninspiring offseason by the day for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Dodgers, three-time defending National League West champions, agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract with the left-handed Kazmir, according to Fox Sports' Jon Morosi:

First, let's get this out of the way: Jose Fernandez won't come cheap, if he comes at all.

The Miami Marlins are under no obligation to trade the 23-year-old budding ace. And if they do, they'll demand a king's ransom.

Try as they might, the Los Angeles Dodgers haven't made much noise this winter. They've committed only blunders instead, making for a rough finish to Major League Baseball's 2015 season.

Clearly, this means the only thing for them to do now is get off to a good start in 2016.

At this point, I'll believe Jake Odorizzi is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers when he takes the mound at Dodger Stadium. Or maybe not until he throws his first pitch in Dodger blue.

The stockpile is in place. 

The brain trust is comfortable and mapping out how to do its next big thing.

All that is left is for the Los Angeles Dodgers to actually strike the stunning deal.

A painful offseason for the Los Angeles Dodgers finally provided some hope for the future with the team acquiring right-handed pitching prospect Francelis Montas from the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday. 

The 2015 MLB winter meetings have not disappointed, as several high-priced players have been made available either through free agency or via trade.

Yet, the market for offensive firepower has been relatively quiet to this point, but with the winter meetings set to close at the end of the day Thursday, we could see some last-minute deals done before the general managers part ways.
