In spite of the 2019 World Series continuing to take center stage for the next 24-48 hours, the Dodgers have still found a way to weasel themselves into the news, at least to a small degree.
Although front office boss Andrew Friedman hinted at the idea quite some time ago, it is believed that Los Angeles is finally close to officially inking a deal with Mark Prior to become pitching coach. The 39-year-old Prior will succeed Rick Honeycutt, who held the post for 14 years.

Before assuming his current role with the Dodgers, Prior spent three years with the Padres as the organization’s minor league pitching coordinator.
