Logan Webb, ace pitcher of the San Francisco Giants, is disgusted by the extent to which the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a class of their own.
Eternal rivals of the Giants, the Dodgers have yet again added elements that could improve the team and make them even more dominant. With the additions of Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, Dave Roberts' team will be even more threatening, and will once again give the Giants and other rivals in the National League's Western Division serious headaches. Hats off to the San Diego Padres, who have been rather amorphous over the winter.
Just think of the poor Colorado Rockies, who will arrive at the next training camp already eliminated from a playoff race.
Last year, the Dodgers and Giants met 13 times, with the Dodgers winning nine of those duels. Over the past four seasons, Los Angeles has posted a 40-18 record against the Giants, and Webb has been a keen spectator of the Dodgers' dominance.
“It's not fun to watch the team that kicked our ass a lot last year go out and get some really good players.”

With their high-profile additions, the Dodgers have no reason to feel threatened by the Giants, who will have to work even harder to hope for success in their all-California rivalry.
In letting the bad guy out, Webb flays his bosses a little in passing by mentioning that he and his teammates can only do their best once on the field, but that they have no control over personnel moves. This comment from the Giants' right-hander suggests that his team's leaders, led by Buster Posey, may not be doing enough to one day compete on equal terms with the two-time World Series champions.
In the off-season, the Giants have done virtually nothing except sign veteran Tyler Mahle, who will add depth to the rotation, even if he will first have to fight for a spot in the upcoming training camp. Adrian Houser, a right-handed pitcher who split his last season between the White Sox and the Rays, has also been added to the Giants' pitching staff. Let's just say it's nothing to write home about.
The nicest addition comes from the fact that their most promising player of recent years, Bryce Eldridge, will play a bigger role in 2026, he who hasn't seen much action in the Majors in 2025. In fact, the 6'7″ colossus took part in just ten games with the Giants last season. This season, he should play a much more important role in the first cushion. Eldridge's arrival should considerably stabilize the defensive front line.
In analyzing the situation regarding the Dodgers' latest roster additions, Logan Webb is realistic and looks forward to next season the same way he has the last few: with resignation. The Giants will do their best and hope to compete with the Padres and Diamondbacks for a playoff spot.
