Dodgers News: Minor-league affiliate sold, more bullpen additions, Juan Soto offer

The Dodgers' Single-A affiliate, the Quakes, have called LoanMart Field in Rancho Cucamonga home since 1993. They've switched affiliations a few times, starting with the Padres for the first eight years in the city, then the Angels, and finally the Dodgers, who have had them as part of their system since 2011.

LA currently has a few top 30 prospects at the level — No. 9 Eduardo Quintero and No. 11 Zyhir Hope, among others — but the team will be getting a new home in 2026.

The Quakes were sold to Diamond Baseball Holdings on Thursday, which will move them from Rancho Cucamonga to Ontario, just six miles away. Dodgers front office members were present at a groundbreaking ceremony in Ontario in October preceding the official move, so it wasn't altogether surprising. The team will get a new stadium and a new name in the move.

The Angels also will move to Rancho Cucamonga from San Bernardino, and the Mariners will move to San Bernardino from Modesto in the shuffle.

Dodgers' Single-A affiliate on the move, LA's plan to add more relief arms, details on Juan Soto's offer

In major league news, the Dodgers don't seem to be done with their pursuit of bullpen arms even after re-adding Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million deal on Sunday. The Dodgers only lost two relievers in free agency, Treinen and Joe Kelly, and it's likely that they're going to let Kelly leave fully before 2025. LA does have rookies and prospects they could promote to fill what used to be his spot in the bullpen, but instead they seem to be setting their sights on two trade candidates in Devin Williams and Tanner Scott.

More details on the Dodgers' failed pursuit of Juan Soto have also emerged. We already knew that the Dodgers were the only team not to offer $700 million or more, but Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that $600 million was LA's absolute ceiling for Soto.

This makes sense. The $765 million that Soto eventually got from the Mets was ludicrous, even for a team with a similarly endless well of money like the Dodgers, and it's likely that LA didn't want to undermine the $700 million they'd already given to Shohei Ohtani to be the face of the franchise. If there are any Dodgers fans out there still pressed that he won't end up in Dodger blue, they shouldn't be. They just need to re-sign Teoscar Hernández, and they'll be set.
