After an All-Star Break that felt just a little bit too long, baseball is finally back. Unfortunately, the Los Angeles Dodgers kicked things off with a 2-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, falling to 58-40 on the year.
In other news, a former Dodgers pitcher ended his comeback attempt, retiring from the game of baseball. The 37-year-old was most recently playing with an independent ball club before calling it a career after 361 MLB appearances.
As the trade deadline heats up, the Dodgers are expected to make a splash. They are reportedly interested in a trade with the Cleveland Guardians for a revered closer and a major upgrade in the outfield.
