2014 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Offseason, SportsNet LA
After the 2013 season, the Dodgers ended their broadcast agreements with Prime Ticket and KCAL-TV. They entered into an agreement with Time Warner Cable to start their own regional sports network, to be called SportsNet LA, to begin with the 2014 season. This marked the end of over-the-air broadcasts of Dodger games, which had begun in 1949. On October 12, 2013, they announced that they would not be retaining the broadcasting team of Steve Lyons and Eric Collins who had worked road games for the team since 2005 (Lyons) and 2009 (Collins).

The new network officially launched on February 25, 2014. However, a season long dispute between Time Warner Cable and other content providers, most notably DirecTV, led to the new channel only being available in homes that were served by Time Warner Cable itself.


2014 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Offseason, SportsNet LA
In September 2014, it was announced that in response to the lack of carriage for SportsNet LA, the Dodgers' final six games of the regular season would be aired by local independent station KDOC-TV—an over-the-air channel that is carried by all major television providers in the region.

As a result of their lack of distribution carriage for the 2014 season, the Dodgers saw a 70% drop in television ratings compared to the previous season when they were on Prime Ticket and the poorest cable performance by the team since at least the mid-1990s. The ratings for Dodger games were second lowest in the Majors, ahead of only the Houston Astros, who had similar issues with their cable provider, CSN Houston.

2014 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Spring training
The Dodgers primary position battle in spring training was for the second base job, left open by the departure of the 2013 starter Mark Ellis. Cuban defector Alex Guerrero was the favorite to land the spot at the start of camp, but concerns about his defense opened up the competition. Dee Gordon, who had primarily played shortstop in the past as well as non-roster candidates Justin Turner and Chone Figgins got time at the position during camp. At the end of camp, both Turner and Figgins had their contracts purchased and were added to the 40 man roster, while reliever Javy Guerra was designated for assignment.

2014 Los Angeles Dodgers season, Regular season, Opening series
This season, Major League Baseball scheduled the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks to open the season with a two-game series at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Australia. As a result, both teams began spring training earlier than usual and played abbreviated Cactus League schedules before flying to Australia for the series. Several members of the Dodgers organization expressed their dislike of the way the trip would impact their normal-preseason routine and their concern over the travel. As a result, the media started portraying the Dodgers in a negative light, contrasted with the Diamondbacks seemingly supportive stance on the trip. A few days before the start of the series, the Dodgers played an exhibition game against the Australian national baseball team.

2014 MT69
2014 MT69 (internally designated 0720090F in the context of the Hubble Space Telescope, and 7 in the context of the New Horizons mission) is a cold classical Kuiper belt object (KBO) and was formerly a potential flyby target for the New Horizons probe. The object measures approximately 20–90 kilometers (12–56 miles) in diameter.


2014 MT69, Discovery and naming
2014 MT69 was discovered by the New Horizons KBO Search with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) because the object has a magnitude of 27.3, which is too faint to be observed by ground-based telescopes. Preliminary observations by the HST searching for KBO flyby targets for the New Horizons probe started in June 2014, and more intensive observations continued in July and August. 2014 MT69 was first discovered in observations on June 24, 2014 during the preliminary observations, but it was designated 0720090F at the time, nicknamed "7" for short.


2014 MT69, Discovery and naming
Its existence as a potential target of the New Horizons probe was revealed by NASA in October 2014, but the official name 2014 MT69 was not assigned by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) until March 2015 after better orbit information was available. The parameters of the orbit have the extremely large uncertainty of 9 because follow-up observations after discovery eliminated 2014 MT69 as a potential target of the New Horizons probe, and no further follow-up observations were made.


2014 MT69, Potential targets of the New Horizons mission
After having completed its flyby of Pluto, the New Horizons space probe was maneuvered for a flyby of at least one Kuiper belt object (KBO). Several targets were considered for the first such flyby. Potential target 2014 MT69 has a diameter between 20–92 km (12–57 mi), which is smaller than the other potential targets of the New Horizons probe. A potential encounter initially looked more feasible for 2014 MT69 than for 486958 Arrokoth, but follow-up observations eventually ruled out 2014 MT69 as a potential target. The potential targets for the New Horizons probe were PT1 and PT3, the KBOs Arrokoth and 2014 PN70, and the probe had sufficient fuel to maneuver to either PT1 or PT3. Potential target PT2, the KBO 2014 OS393, was eliminated for consideration as a potential target.


2014 MT69, Potential targets of the New Horizons mission
On 28 August 2015, the New Horizons team announced the selection of Arrokoth as the next flyby target.
