Less than a week removed from winning the World Series, several Dodgers voiced their desire for the team to keep its core intact for next year.

Clayton Kershaw says he plans to be "a Dodger for life," but he'll have to do it under a new contract for 2025 after declining his player option.

Dodger fans, still riding high from the team's World Series victory, formed large crowds to meet Kiki Hernández and Walker Hernández in local appearances.

The Dodgers extend Teoscar Hernández a qualifying offer while declining to give one to right-hander Walker Buehler, who officially becomes a free agent.

Last week, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts called Miguel Rojas 'the glue to our ballclub.' In March, Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. disparaged his former Marlins teammate.

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced that Steve Garvey and former Dodgers teammate Tommy John are two of eight candidates on this year's Classic Baseball Era ballot.

The new book "Fernando Valenzuela: Amor Eterno" highlights the live and legacy of Dodgers star pitcher Fernando Valenzuela. It is available for presale.

As the offseason gets underway for the Dodgers, here's a primer on where things stand, and the questions they'll face as defending champions this winter.

Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw reveals at the team's World Series parade that he'll need to undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Several fans throughout Friday's parade said they rubbed hats, patted shirts and jerseys, kissed rosaries and prayed throughout the postseason, turning to faith, ritual, superstition and luck all while hoping to push their beloved team over the top.
