Los Angeles Dodgers Transactions, 1958-2024

Lyle Spatz

Baseball transactions--trades, sales, purchases, free agents coming or leaving--have always had the ability to stir the interest and passion of fans. Whether it is the purchase or sale of a veteran star during the heat of a pennant race, a multi-player trade made during the dead of winter, or the offseason scramble for desirable free agents, player transactions engender more interest and heated debate among fans than almost any other aspect of the game. Baseball fans love trades; they love to hear about them, to read about them, and to talk about them. They even love those that are rumored but don't get made. This book covers the transactions of the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the game's most storied teams, from their move from Brooklyn in 1958 through the 2024 season. For important transactions, the players and the deal are put in historical perspective, explaining why the Dodgers and the other team(s) involved made the exchange; the expectations the owners, general managers, and managers of the respective teams had for their new players; and, for most, what the players involved thought about their old and new teams. The description and analysis of each transaction presents the full story of the Dodgers player trades in full historical detail.
