Dodger Cryptic Crossword Solved, Two Months of Torture Ended

Congratulations Jeffrey (a newcomer to the blog) for answering our Dodgers' cryptic crossword, posted almost two months ago.

For those of you scoring at home, the answer was indeed NO TRADES, which strangely has lived up to its prophecy of "the [Dodgers'] apparent off-season strategy," even two months later, with just under 11 days left before pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training. Unbelievable!

The answer grid:

The answers:

Across (in clue order):
WES PARKER (anag.)
D + ON(MATTING)LY
JAMES LONEY (anag.)
OREL HERSHISER (anag.)

Down (in clue order):
JASON REPKO (anag.)
WOR (row reversed) + [LD SERIES] (anag.)
M + AT + T + K + EMP
GAME ONE (anag.)
