Monday, November 9, 2026 | Morning Edition

Some of this has been discussed... some not so much.

Here are the most interesting Dodgers stories and discussion topics for today's LA Dodger Talk.

Breaking and developing news

- 1. Dodgers pursuing Japanese pitching prospect Shoki Oda. The Dodgers are reportedly among the teams meeting with the 18-year-old Japanese right-hander. He may not sign until the 2027 international signing period begins. Another young arm for an already pitching-rich organization?

- 2. Aaron Bates departure gets more interesting. Bates reportedly left after the Dodgers and their longtime hitting coach couldn't agree on a contract extension.
