Dodgers Notes: Joe Kelly Reveals Free Agent Plans, Yankees Fans Who Grabbed Mookie Betts Receive Huge Punishment

Los Angeles Dodgers free agent reliever Joe Kelly discussed his free agency and where he would like to wind up next season.

There haven’t been any reports about his market, and whether or not the Dodgers would want to bring him back.

In other MLB news, the two New York Yankees fans who grabbed Mookie Betts during Game 4 of the World Series received a massive punishment for their actions.

They have been banned from all MLB stadiums indefinitely, and are subject to arrest for trespassing if they are found at a stadium.

And finally, as the wildfires continue to ravage the city of Los Angeles and greater Southern California areas, Freddie and Chelsea Freeman have made a massive donation to help relief efforts.

Dodgers, Freddie Freeman, Chris Taylor, Fanatics raise money for LA fire relief efforts

After a week of fires across Los Angeles county, including devastating losses in and round Altadena, Pacific Palisades, and elsewhere, a few Dodgers players as well as the team have coordinated to raise money for relief efforts.

Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea are donating $300,000, split evenly between the LA Fire Department Foundation, the Pasadena Fire Department, and the Salvation Army, per Jeff Passan at ESPN.

The Dodgers, along with several sports teams in and around Los Angeles are teaming with Fanatics to sell team-branded, “LA Strong” merchandise, with all proceeds going to the LA Fire Department Foundation and the American Red Cross.

In a statement released on Friday the Dodgers said, “The players, front office and staff of the Dodgers are absolutely heartbroken over the devastation of the fires in and around Los Angeles. We are working closely with community partners and impacted areas and look forward to announcing more about our immediate efforts and our ongoing work in the coming days.

“We are grateful to all first responders who have been on the front lines of this tragedy, and we grieve with the thousands of families who have lost their homes and possessions, including those within the Dodgers organization.”

Also this week, the Chris Taylor Foundation matched donations for fire relief up to $5,000, and added in an Instagram story that they are brainstorming updates to the beneficiaries for their upcoming CT3 Polar Plunge on February 2, to raise even more money.
