Have the Padres passed the Dodgers? When will Bauer and Realmuto sign? Which team still needs to make a splash? Our experts weigh in.
Don Sutton said in our 2006 interview, "I consider myself a guy that would've done the right thing, because it was the right thing to do. ‘What do you want me to do, when do you want it done and trust me, I'll give you my best effort.'" As an analyst, he took special interest in Tom Glavine. "His personality and mine are identical and our approach to life and our approach to pitching and preparation: ‘it's my job, let's go do it, I'll give it the best I've got and then I'll take the results.'"

Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda was memorialized during a private service at Dodger Stadium before his burial on Tuesday.
Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton, who won over 300 games during a major league career that spanned 23 seasons -- mostly with the Dodgers -- has died at the age of 75.
RIP, Hall of Famer Don Sutton. After winning 324 games in 23 major league seasons, 233 of them for the Dodgers, it remarkably took Sutton five tries to get elected to Cooperstown. At the time, a knock against him was he won 20 games only once, but voters overlooked his longevity and durability. He never missed a start in his career until landing on the disabled for the first time in his final season in 1988. His 5,282 innings rank seventh all time.
