Speaker 1: This is off season Dodger Talk.
Speaker 2: Get in on the show by calling eight six six.
Speaker 3: Hashtag Dodger Talk and now your host, David Masse, we
Speaker 3: have breaking news. Jeff Passen has just tweeted and reported
Speaker 3: that it is the Dodgers that have signed Kyle Tucker. Yes,
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker reportedly is signing with the Dodgers on a
Speaker 3: short term deal. I have a few texts out there
Speaker 3: to some of my sources with the Dodgers to see
Speaker 3: if they can tell us how many years exactly. But
Speaker 3: Steve Cohen, the Mets owner, tweeted out about an hour
Speaker 3: plus ago, let me know when you see the white smoke. Well,
Speaker 3: the white smoke is out. And Kyle Tucker has chosen
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, just like sho Hao Tani chose the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: just like Yoshinobu Yama Moto chose the Dodgers, and us
Speaker 3: like Freddie Freeman chose the Dodgers among others, just like
Speaker 3: Blake Snell chose the Dodgers' last off season. So the
Speaker 3: Dodgers take Edwin Diaz from the Mets, and in some
Speaker 3: form or fashion, in some ways, you could say they
Speaker 3: have taken Kyle Tucker from the Mets, Edwin Diaz and
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, Andrew Friedman, Mark Walter have signed. They've been aggressive.
Speaker 3: They do not care about one hundred and ten percent
Speaker 3: tax on every dollar that they sign. They have gone
Speaker 3: out and signed Kyle Tucker. And we are with you
Speaker 3: until eight o'clock tonight. Here on a five to seventy
Speaker 3: LA Sports, I had to say, Mark DeRosa, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: We'll have you on the show on Monday night at
Speaker 3: seven o'clock. That's our next Dodger talk show. But tonight
Speaker 3: with Jeff Passing tweeting this two minutes before we took
Speaker 3: the air, it is all Kyle Tucker. It is all you,
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. The Dodgers have signed Kyle Tucker. Phone lines
Speaker 3: are open right now. At eight six six nine to
Speaker 3: eight seven two five seventy we are going to be
Speaker 3: joined by one of Kyle Tucker's future teammates, the one
Speaker 3: and only Dalton Rushing is going to join us. At
Speaker 3: seven point thirty, we'll get his live reaction to the
Speaker 3: news that Kyle Tucker has joined the Dodgers. And you
Speaker 3: look at what Andrew Friedman set out to do. He
Speaker 3: made no secrets about it. He wanted to make the
Speaker 3: Dodger offense better than it was the second half of
Speaker 3: the year and into the postseason. The Dodger offense was
Speaker 3: not good from June on including October. If it wasn't
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers pitching and some timely hitting and some
Speaker 3: great defensive plays, the Dodgers many times would have been
Speaker 3: eliminated even before they got to the World Series, and
Speaker 3: a few times in Game six in Game seven, they
Speaker 3: would have been eliminated from the World Series. Another layer
Speaker 3: to this is it's a short term contract. Kyle Tucker
Speaker 3: is twenty eight years old, and when you hear reports
Speaker 3: that the Blue Jays were offering ten years, three hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars, and then the Mets got aggressive in a
Speaker 3: different way where they were offering four years, two hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars, which averaged out to about fifty million dollars
Speaker 3: a year. If you're Kyle Tucker and you don't believe
Speaker 3: that five years from now that you can make another
Speaker 3: at least one hundred million dollars, this next four years
Speaker 3: five years would not have been good for you. So
Speaker 3: he can hit the open market. If this is a
Speaker 3: thirty four year contract, he can hit the market again
Speaker 3: at thirty two years old and make even more money.
Speaker 3: And you know, for the Dodgers, they're not committing too
Speaker 3: many years. They are committing just enough to feel comfortable
Speaker 3: with Kyle Tucker. And I know many people were talking
Speaker 3: about his down year with the Cubs. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger told me it's tough for a left handed
Speaker 3: hitter to hit at Wrigley Field, especially the first three
Speaker 3: months of the season. And in twenty twenty four he
Speaker 3: only played seventy eight games, but that's because he felled
Speaker 3: a ball off his shin and broke his shins. So
Speaker 3: those freak things happened, no soft tissue injuries. So Kyle
Speaker 3: Tucker when he was with the Astros was one of
Speaker 3: the best hitting outfielders in baseball. And that's the reason
Speaker 3: why the Dodgers and many or the teams that could
Speaker 3: afford him were interested. Eight six six nine eight seven
Speaker 3: two five seventy is the phone number the Dodgers, reportedly,
Speaker 3: according to Jeff pass And, have signed Kyle Tucker. No
Speaker 3: word on the contract details, but we are getting reports
Speaker 3: that it is a short term contract. And if you
Speaker 3: look at the potential opening day lineup, for the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: I'm just going to include Tommy Edmond as healthy, doubtful
Speaker 3: that he will be ready for opening day. But you
Speaker 3: have Sho Heo, Tani, Mookie Bets, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith,
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, Taoscar Hernandez, Max Munsey, Tommy Edmund and any
Speaker 3: form or fashion and Andy Pajes. You got Andy Pajes
Speaker 3: in this lineup. So the Dodger outfield now ta Oscar
Speaker 3: Hernandez and left Pajz and center, Kyle Tucker in right field.
Speaker 3: And hold it. If you're saying the Dodgers are going
Speaker 3: to try Taoscar Hernandez, now I would pump the brakes
Speaker 3: on that. I would not. I would venture to say
Speaker 3: keep Teoscar Hernandez. We also have some other news as
Speaker 3: well that Jeff Passen reported, I mean rapid fire from
Speaker 3: passing right before Dodger talk started. There is a three
Speaker 3: team trade that has been completed between the Rays, the Reds,
Speaker 3: and the Angels. Former Dodger Gavin Lux is part of
Speaker 3: this trade. Gavin Lux is headed to the Tampa Bay Rays,
Speaker 3: Josh Lowe is headed to the Angels, and brock Burke,
Speaker 3: left handed reliever, is headed to the Reds. But the
Speaker 3: biggest news now is Kyle Tucker reportedly has signed with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Eight six six nine eight seven two five
Speaker 3: seventy is the phone number. I just have confirmation now
Speaker 3: from an extremely good source with the Dodgers on the
Speaker 3: length of this contract for Kyle Tucker. It's a four
Speaker 3: year contract with opt outs after year two, two and
Speaker 3: year three. There you go, breaking news. I am breaking
Speaker 3: that news right now. The contract details for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: A four year contract with opt outs after year two
Speaker 3: and year three. You are hearing that right now on
Speaker 3: Dodgers Radio AM five to seventy LA Sports. We're gonna
Speaker 3: take a time out. When we come back your phone calls,
Speaker 3: we have lines open. The Dodgers have signed Kyle Tucker
Speaker 3: to a four year contract eight six six nine eight
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy David Vasse, great timing on this
Speaker 3: beautiful Thursday night in the city of Angels on a
Speaker 3: five to seventy LA Sports. I can confirm it is
Speaker 3: a four year contract with opt outs after year two
Speaker 3: and year three. Kyle Tucker's four year contract is worth
Speaker 3: two one hundred and forty million dollars to Jeff Passing,
Speaker 3: I can do math once in a while. When the
Speaker 3: numbers are that big, I need a little help. Sixty
Speaker 3: million dollars an annual average salary. The Mets were reportedly
Speaker 3: offering fifty million dollars for four years. The Dodgers have
Speaker 3: now topped Steve Cohen with four years and sixty million
Speaker 3: dollars opt outs after years two and year four. We
Speaker 3: have learned eight sixty six nine to eighty seven two
Speaker 3: five seventy is the phone number. Nobody has reported the
Speaker 3: fact that the Dodgers and excuse me Tucker has optouts
Speaker 3: after year two and year three. Nobody has reported that.
Speaker 3: But that is fact, according to my very good sources
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers, that I got a green light to
Speaker 3: report here on Dodger Talk tonight. Eight six six nine
Speaker 3: eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's
Speaker 3: go out to Corona, Ronnie. You're on Dodger Talk with
Speaker 3: David Massey. Ronnie, did this does this blow your mind?
Speaker 3: I mean, the Dodgers just don't stop, and I mean
Speaker 3: this is the greatest Aaron Dodger baseball and they just
Speaker 3: make it better.
Speaker 4: How you doing, DV, I'm doing great, I said, Let's
Speaker 4: keep ruining baseball, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, let's keep ruining baseball. Look, uh, if the Mets
Speaker 3: wanted Tucker, they could have gone to sixty million dollars.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers said, you know what, We'll take your fifty
Speaker 3: and we'll add ten more.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, what a great day it is for Dodger fans.
Speaker 4: I mean, just hearing the announcement a few minutes ago,
Speaker 4: so exciting. And I cannot wait to see this team,
Speaker 4: this lineup, it's amazing. I'm just so excited, no doubt.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is such a deep lineup and there
Speaker 3: is no reason to trade anybody this year. Let's the
Speaker 3: Dodgers are intent on trying to make this a three peat.
Speaker 3: And I think this. I believe this is a perfect
Speaker 3: fit for Kyle Tucker because if he goes to the Mets,
Speaker 3: the New York pressure cooker is going to crush him.
Speaker 3: There's going to be a lot of expectations. They're going
Speaker 3: to compare him to Soto, to uh to Otani. If
Speaker 3: he were to get this fifty million dollar contract with
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, He's one of six seven stars on this team.
Speaker 3: Do I believe Tucker's elite? No, I don't believe he's elite.
Speaker 3: I don't when you talk about elite, you're talking about
Speaker 3: Otanijan Soto type guys. You're talking about Trek Scougle, Paul
Speaker 3: Sken's type of guy. But he's very, very good and
Speaker 3: he is going to be even better with the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: and you know being in this lineup will make him better.
Speaker 3: And like I mentioned earlier in the show, people are
Speaker 3: trying to poke holes, and that's what happens in these situations.
Speaker 3: You try to poke holes in a guy's game. The
Speaker 3: reality is being a left handed hitter at Wrigley Field
Speaker 3: is not easy. And you look at Cody Bellinger's numbers
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago compared to what they were
Speaker 3: last year at Yankee Stadium night and day, home and road,
Speaker 3: night and day. You look at twenty twenty four, the
Speaker 3: guy filed a ball off his shin, broke his shin.
Speaker 3: Freak accident, it happens. But prior to that he was
Speaker 3: one of the best hitting outfielders and many people were
Speaker 3: counting down to when he was going to be a
Speaker 3: free agent. The one thing, you know, I'm not just
Speaker 3: gonna be here like being a Homer. The one thing
Speaker 3: is Kyle Tucker still has something to prove in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: He's a two thirty three playoff hitter. He hit one
Speaker 3: ninety in the twenty two World Series. But he doesn't
Speaker 3: have to carry the Dodgers. He just needs to be
Speaker 3: a piece of the Dodgers. Eight six six nine, eight
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Kyle Tucker
Speaker 3: is a Dodger. Let's go out to Aaron in San Diego.
Speaker 3: You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Aaron?
Speaker 2: Great?
Speaker 1: Dave?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? I mean they signed Kyle Tucker and
Speaker 3: ta Oscar Hernandez will be moving to left field.
Speaker 5: All right, Well, hey, uh, I don't know if he
Speaker 5: mentioned it to you earlier. I'm the guy who ran
Speaker 5: into Dulton, Russian and uh down in Mexico this weekend.
Speaker 5: But my question is how is this going to affect
Speaker 5: second base? Obviously Edmunds had has his challenges with his
Speaker 5: injuries and and we don't have a firm solution there.
Speaker 5: But what I mean, what is gonna be that that
Speaker 5: solution going forward? And also going back to Dalton. I
Speaker 5: know the Dodgers, you know, obviously adults have worked him
Speaker 5: out and trying to get him into the outfields, get
Speaker 5: more at that.
Speaker 6: Where you know, how.
Speaker 5: Does this affect the young guys and the prospects coming
Speaker 5: up and the second base problem that we have.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't believe the Dodgers have a second base problem.
Speaker 3: Tommy Edman was trying to play on this bad ankle
Speaker 3: for the last two years. He finally had surgery on it.
Speaker 3: So he may not be starting the season at second base,
Speaker 3: but he's going to play a lot of second base.
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, is a goal glover at
Speaker 3: second base three years ago with the Cardinals. So once
Speaker 3: he comes back, he's gonna play second base. He is
Speaker 3: going to kick out to the outfield whenever you need
Speaker 3: to give Andy pae As a breather. His son Cam
Speaker 3: is part of that second base equation. Miguel Rojas is
Speaker 3: part of that second base equation. The Dodgers signed this
Speaker 3: kid from the Tigers, Andy Abanyez, who's really good defensively,
Speaker 3: so they are they have more than enough guys to
Speaker 3: cover the beginning of the season without Edmund, And when
Speaker 3: Edmund comes back, you got a really good second basement
Speaker 3: goal glove caliber that can also play third base. If
Speaker 3: Monthcy for whatever reason gets injured, and so Canabanyaes. I
Speaker 3: don't believe there's any problems right now with the Dodgers, Aeron,
Speaker 3: It's as far as the young guys go. Rushing is
Speaker 3: the Dodgers backup catcher and is going to play a
Speaker 3: lot of first base this year to give Freddy Freeman
Speaker 3: days off. He's thirty seven going on thirty eight. So
Speaker 3: Rushing looked very comfortable at first base last year.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, all right, sounds great. I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Be all right, Eron, thank you for the phone call.
Speaker 3: We'll see if Rushing remembers you. Let's go out to
Speaker 3: Culver City. Saul, you're on Dodger Dog. How excited are
Speaker 3: you that, Kyle Tucker? After all, this is a Dodger.
Speaker 6: Not really excited.
Speaker 7: I actually think it's the Dodgers sitting the standard here
Speaker 7: in LA. Actually, I think every franchise, as a professional
Speaker 7: franchise in Los Angeles doesn't compete with their league. They
Speaker 7: compete with the Dodgers. And what they're showing right now
Speaker 7: is that they're not letting things stand still. They're progressing.
Speaker 7: They're doing everything they can to stay on top. They're
Speaker 7: showing MLB that they are the standard. They're showing La
Speaker 7: that if you want to be great and you want
Speaker 7: to be noticed, do what the Dodgers do. I don't
Speaker 7: have a problem in signing Kyle Tucker. I think it's
Speaker 7: a similar contract to what they did for Bryce Harper.
Speaker 7: I love it.
Speaker 6: I don't care about the price.
Speaker 7: The opt outs are great because he doesn't have the
Speaker 7: focal point of the offense Cherry the Dodgers the way
Speaker 7: Gavin looks at a few years ago. You don't have
Speaker 7: to do it all the time. Just come in, do
Speaker 7: your part, and we'll be happy with that.
Speaker 3: All right, Saul, thank you for the phone call. Yeah,
Speaker 3: great memory. This seems similar to what the Dodgers offered
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper before he eventually signed with the Phillies back
Speaker 3: in what twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. I'm not sure it
Speaker 3: was sixty million dollars a year, but it was a
Speaker 3: huge annual average salary. So the Dodgers have been down
Speaker 3: this road before. And the Dodgers also don't give out
Speaker 3: no trade clauses, but they do include opt out clauses,
Speaker 3: and as I reported earlier in the show, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: have given Tucker and opt out after year two and
Speaker 3: year three of this contract. Tucker is going to turn
Speaker 3: twenty nine years old in two days. So if he
Speaker 3: decides that, you know what, I've blown up with the Dodgers,
Speaker 3: I could hit the open market again and make even
Speaker 3: more double down. I can opt out after two years.
Speaker 3: So that's beneficial to him, and it's beneficial to the
Speaker 3: Dodgers if things don't work out the way that they
Speaker 3: envision with Kyle Tucker. They're only stuck with him for
Speaker 3: four years, and the Dodgers have been able to carry
Speaker 3: dead weight of Carl Crawford and other players and have
Speaker 3: found a way to continue to win. So a four
Speaker 3: year contract if it doesn't go so well, I think
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are one of those teams that can absorb it.
Speaker 3: But this is going to be a breath of fresh
Speaker 3: air for Kyle Tucker. He's getting out of Wrigley Field,
Speaker 3: which is not friendly by any means to left handed hitters.
Speaker 3: And Kyle Tucker just has to be a piece to
Speaker 3: the Dodger offense, which struggled the second half of last
Speaker 3: season and into the postseason. So you're looking at a
Speaker 3: guy that is a upgrade defensively in your outfield you're
Speaker 3: moving ta Oscar Hernandez to left field, where it will
Speaker 3: be an upgrade from what we saw in right field
Speaker 3: from Taoscar Hernandez, and you're giving Andy Pajez a second
Speaker 3: full year in center field. My only question is the
Speaker 3: Dodgers may be starting to get a little full with pitching.
Speaker 3: I know we always talk about how you don't have
Speaker 3: enough pitching. Are the Dodgers getting a little full on
Speaker 3: their forty man roster with some of these pitchers coming
Speaker 3: back and having guys that are still healthy and Bobby
Speaker 3: Miller and Landon Neck. I thought if the Dodgers didn't
Speaker 3: sign Kyle Tucker, there was a great chance they were
Speaker 3: going to make a trade for a guy like Lars
Speaker 3: now Bar or Brendan Donovan to try to, you know,
Speaker 3: entice the Cardinals with more pitching. Maybe they do, maybe
Speaker 3: they don't. Maybe there's another trade. Like we always talk
Speaker 3: about Andrew Friedman, Sin's taking over the Dodgers, it's kind
Speaker 3: of a cloud situation. One move is connected to another.
Speaker 3: Feels like there's still more to come from the Dodgers
Speaker 3: than just signing Kyle Tucker eight six six nine eight
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy is the phone number. Let's go
Speaker 3: out to Hacienda Heights. Robert, You're on Dodger Talk on
Speaker 3: the night that Kyle Tucker chooses the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Hi, Dave, thanks for kiping my call. Appreciate it, longtime.
Speaker 6: Sam.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to know, with the signing of Tucker
Speaker 2: coming in, what does that mean for Ryan Ward, the
Speaker 2: guy from Tripoli that they called up and put on
Speaker 2: the fifty man roster. Are they not gonna caepe a
Speaker 2: hold of him? Are they gonna send him back down?
Speaker 2: And you know, does that mean any other changes besides
Speaker 2: possibly tay Oscar moving or even Pies.
Speaker 3: Look, I don't believe the Dodgers are trading Paz. I
Speaker 3: really don't, but I wouldn't rule out another move from
Speaker 3: Andrew Freeman as far as the trade goes, and as
Speaker 3: far as Ryan Ward goes. He's twenty eight years old,
Speaker 3: he's coming off his best professional season. It doesn't look
Speaker 3: like he's going to get an everyday opportunity with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of teams out there that would have
Speaker 3: jumped on Ryan Ward if he was non tendered. So
Speaker 3: I could see the Dodgers going into spring training with
Speaker 3: Ryan Ward I could see the Dodgers trading Ryan Ward
Speaker 3: before spring training. I could also see Ryan Ward being
Speaker 3: a depth piece for the Dodgers during the season, because,
Speaker 3: as we have seen, injuries do happen, and you have
Speaker 3: a guy like Ryan Ward that you can call up
Speaker 3: off your forty man roster. That's not too bad.
Speaker 2: Not bad at all. Thank you so much for taking
Speaker 2: my call, sir.
Speaker 1: Have a great night.
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for listening. Robert Los Angeles should be excited.
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are the premier team in North American sports,
Speaker 3: certainly the premier team in this city that is full
Speaker 3: of stars, and the Dodgers added another star tonight in
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker. In case you're joining us late, the Dodgers
Speaker 3: have come to an agreement with Kyle Tucker for a
Speaker 3: four year contract that is an annual average salary of
Speaker 3: sixty million dollars. He has an opt out after year
Speaker 3: two and year three. But Kyle Tucker tonight has chosen
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. And oh, by the way, Kyle Tucker's agent,
Speaker 3: Casey Close, who all also represented Clayton Kershaw eight six
Speaker 3: six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone
Speaker 3: number let's go out to Santa Monica. Evan, You're on
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk with David Vasse. How you doing, Evan.
Speaker 8: I'm so happy, Dave. As soon as I heard the news,
Speaker 8: I just couldn't believe it. And then what was even
Speaker 8: crazier was that Dodger Talk was on. Just given all
Speaker 8: of the love to all of Los Angeles for this
Speaker 8: historic day. It's one of the greatest signings I think
Speaker 8: I've ever seen the Dodgers have during the offseason because
Speaker 8: it just makes this team unstoppable. One through nine. We
Speaker 8: can't be Who are you going to pitch around? And Dave,
Speaker 8: I want to know where do you think Kyle's going
Speaker 8: to bat in the order?
Speaker 3: That's a great question, you know. I believe that Mookie
Speaker 3: Betts and Teoscar Hernandez have something to prove, and nobody
Speaker 3: is guaranteed a spot in the lineup as far as
Speaker 3: I'm concern outside of sho Heyo Tani and even to
Speaker 3: a certain extent, Otani equis to try to get Mooki
Speaker 3: going last year, move down to leadoff spot to hit
Speaker 3: behind him. Freddie moved between second, third and fourth. So
Speaker 3: if Mooki Betts is a two sixty hitter to begin
Speaker 3: this year. I feel like you're gonna have Will Smith
Speaker 3: hitting second, and you're gonna have Kyle Tucker hitting you know,
Speaker 3: between third and and fifth. I really do. I think
Speaker 3: that's where this is going to land.
Speaker 8: It's unbelievable. Just the rich get richer and the three
Speaker 8: peats on its way.
Speaker 7: Daves, let's go.
Speaker 3: Let's go. What a night? What a night? In January
Speaker 3: eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is
Speaker 3: the phone number. I know we're all very excited about
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's sunning with the Dodgers, but man, this took
Speaker 3: a long time. Come on, Tucker, you should have made
Speaker 3: this choice a lot sooner than what you did. Uh
Speaker 3: felt like we were we were on Otani Watch, and
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's a really good player. But he's not Otani.
Speaker 3: He's not one soo. But in this Dodger lineup, he
Speaker 3: may have the best years of his career. Let's go
Speaker 3: out to Uh, Jamie in Rosemead, You're on Dodger Talk
Speaker 3: with David Vasse. How you doing, Jamie?
Speaker 9: Good?
Speaker 3: David, how are you fantastic? Great timing for the show.
Speaker 6: Hey, I'm just I'm just worried about Kik. I mean
Speaker 6: it's I mean just his energy and and and just
Speaker 6: what he brings to the Dodgers, and and I mean
Speaker 6: that heartbeat, you know. I mean, how's he gonna fit.
Speaker 3: In key A? Hernandez can't play until the second half
Speaker 3: of the year, Jamie, he had elbow surgery. So, uh,
Speaker 3: he's he's a factor in the second half of the season.
Speaker 3: He understands that. I don't believe the sonning of Tucker
Speaker 3: changes any of that.
Speaker 6: I mean, Okay, well, good to know, good to know, man,
Speaker 6: because he's, uh, he's just he's a ball of energy.
Speaker 6: So it'd be great to have him, you know, just
Speaker 6: uh everywhere you know, third chart, he plays all over
Speaker 6: the place. Man, He's just a he's a he's a
Speaker 6: he's a he's a unique piece of that that uh
Speaker 6: Dodger Dodger team.
Speaker 3: No doubt, Jamie. He's been a big part of the
Speaker 3: back to back World Series championships. And more importantly than
Speaker 3: being a ball of energy, the guy's really good. In
Speaker 3: October eight six, six, nine, eight seven, two five seventy
Speaker 3: is the phone number we got to take a time
Speaker 3: out here on Dodger Talk. We are going to hear
Speaker 3: from a current Dodger player. Coming up next, Dodger catcher
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing is going to give us his live reaction
Speaker 3: to Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers. This is Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: This is where you get breaking Dodgers news and the
Speaker 3: insights behind the deals. Kyle Tucker is a Dodger on
Speaker 3: a F five to seventy LA sports four year contract.
Speaker 3: As we reported earlier in the show, he has an
Speaker 3: opt out after years two and years three. I feel
Speaker 3: like he might be taking our next guest out to
Speaker 3: many dinners, and if he doesn't, he's gonna have to
Speaker 3: answer to me. We are joined right now by one
Speaker 3: of my favorite people, a man that made himself known
Speaker 3: to Major League Baseball making his major league debut so
Speaker 3: many first last year for Dalton Rushing can't wait for
Speaker 3: his sophomore season with the Dodgers and he will have
Speaker 3: a new teammate and Kyle Tucker. Dalton Rushing, welcome the
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk. How you doing.
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. Good to hear from you that.
Speaker 3: Hey, this is great timing. We set this up a
Speaker 3: while ago and it's the night that Kyle Tucker signs
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting that, almost like you knew something.
Speaker 3: Man, how much I don't know. How much do you
Speaker 3: guys talk about these things amongst each other, about whether
Speaker 3: or not a guy like Tucker may sign with you
Speaker 3: or is it just something that you sit back and
Speaker 3: watch and wait and see.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's I think it's kind of cool
Speaker 1: to just watch it unfold. Obviously, free agency for any
Speaker 1: players an exciting time, also hectic, but yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it pops up tonight and you see it and you
Speaker 1: want to be surprised. But at the same time, it's
Speaker 1: every team tries to win a World Series every year,
Speaker 1: and Dodgers are willing to do whatever.
Speaker 3: What was it like for you last year being part
Speaker 3: of this team that obviously has a World Series on
Speaker 3: their minds when they report to spring training. For you
Speaker 3: to get the call in the middle of the season
Speaker 3: and to have big hits for this team and to
Speaker 3: be there, you know, for and be a big part
Speaker 3: of it. What was it like your first full season?
Speaker 1: It was good. Overall. The main goal with any team
Speaker 1: you ever played for it that level is going to
Speaker 1: win a World Series and so on that side, very successful.
Speaker 1: It was an unbelievable group. I think, I would say,
Speaker 1: obviously from looking in beforehand, you get to play with
Speaker 1: some of the best players in baseball still, and I
Speaker 1: think that itself is a huge privilege for young guys,
Speaker 1: especially your rookie year, to see the things that I saw,
Speaker 1: learn the things that I did with Like I said,
Speaker 1: the guys surrounding me.
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing is joining us tonight on Dodger Talk and
Speaker 3: Dalton just thinking back to your season, People ask me
Speaker 3: all the time about my favorite moment of the year
Speaker 3: of the World Series. But if somebody were to ask
Speaker 3: me about my favorite Dalton Rushing moment of the season
Speaker 3: last year, was your game in San Diego where you
Speaker 3: had a huge home run against the Padres on that
Speaker 3: day game to kind of remind the Padres that you
Speaker 3: guys are still here and at that time the race
Speaker 3: was really close. When you think back to your season
Speaker 3: last year, is that one of the games one of
Speaker 3: the moments that sticks out to you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that was for sure. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: say the highlight. Obviously, you win the World Series, that's
Speaker 1: your highlight. But for me, it was kind of a
Speaker 1: moment of things weren't going my way for a little bit,
Speaker 1: and so you kind of you fill your team around you,
Speaker 1: support you, and you do something like that. But like
Speaker 1: you said, it was a big game for that time
Speaker 1: of the year. But I just I was glad that
Speaker 1: I was able to help the team win on that
Speaker 1: Sunday Day game and allow us to do the things
Speaker 1: that we did later in the year.
Speaker 3: Regardless, when did you start to settle into the season
Speaker 3: once you got called up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like the guys did a really good
Speaker 1: job of making you feel pretty at home early on.
Speaker 1: It doesn't really feel as I guess uptight as people
Speaker 1: would think the outside as far as being a rookie
Speaker 1: on a team like that, I think it's the Dodgers
Speaker 1: just do a good job of surrounding you with good people,
Speaker 1: good resources, and comes with that as some of the
Speaker 1: best players in the world. So yeah, it's it wasn't
Speaker 1: too bad to kind of like feel like I was
Speaker 1: a part of the guys very soon if you guys
Speaker 1: took me under their wing and just kind of allowed
Speaker 1: me to learn as much as I could for being
Speaker 1: in the position and playing the role that I played.
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing is our guest on Dodger talk. It's the
Speaker 3: night that the Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a four
Speaker 3: year contract, and you know, going back all the way
Speaker 3: back to November, Brandon Gomes was talking about how the
Speaker 3: Dodgers wanted to get you more at bats this upcoming season.
Speaker 3: He even mentioned the possibility of you getting some reps
Speaker 3: in the outfield. I guess that's over with now, Dalton.
Speaker 3: They signed Kyle Tucker. Did you ever did you ever
Speaker 3: pick up your outfield glove again this offseason?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've just kind of tried to go at this
Speaker 1: offseason with the attack plan of basically being available for
Speaker 1: whatever options that I can play, and playing a little
Speaker 1: bit of left field that I played in twenty four
Speaker 1: gave me the idea that I think I could do
Speaker 1: it at a decent level at least being a catcher.
Speaker 1: So I've kind of prepared my body for any outcome
Speaker 1: or whatever they may need out of me.
Speaker 3: You seem pretty comfortable at first base last year. How
Speaker 3: did that happen so seamlessly?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was so. I played a lot of first
Speaker 1: base in college. I actually played majority first base my
Speaker 1: first two years in college before the final season in
Speaker 1: twenty two, So I had a little experience there obviously,
Speaker 1: never at this level. I played a handful of games
Speaker 1: throughout the miners there, so it was a completely foreign
Speaker 1: but they for sure kind of pushed me on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball, just trying to stay as clean
Speaker 1: as possible.
Speaker 3: Do you feel pretty comfortable at first space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. I mean it's like I said, I've
Speaker 1: played at plenty, so I have the I guess you
Speaker 1: could say I have the trust in myself over there
Speaker 1: to go over there whenever they ask and play a
Speaker 1: pretty good first base. But with that being said, I
Speaker 1: think first base is really just a repetition thing, so
Speaker 1: that's something that I kind of have to be ahead
Speaker 1: of myself as far as like keeping myself busy even
Speaker 1: when I'm not over there.
Speaker 3: This spring training is going to be a great opportunity
Speaker 3: with the World Baseball Classic and Will Smith playing for
Speaker 3: Team USA, that means there's a lot of opportunities for
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing to not have Will Smith, you know, taking
Speaker 3: up the normal Will Smith playing time. Has that entered
Speaker 3: your mind that this spring training you're really gonna have
Speaker 3: an opportunity to get into the rhythm of the season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly just I'm showing up to spring training
Speaker 1: expecting both of us to get what we need to
Speaker 1: be ready, obviously him being pushed at a little quicker pace,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, whenever they ask, that's what
Speaker 1: I want to do. And like I said earlier, that's
Speaker 1: kind of the attack that I've taken into the off season,
Speaker 1: just being able to prepare for any outcome. And with
Speaker 1: that being said, whether they want me to catch a
Speaker 1: ton in spring training, whatever it may be, I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm ready for it.
Speaker 3: Hey. The one thing that I'll always remember about Dalton
Speaker 3: Rushing three years ago, if that was maybe two or
Speaker 3: three years ago, your first big league camp, I was
Speaker 3: I was so impressed about your understanding and emphasis on
Speaker 3: the picture catcher relationship. You don't hear too many young
Speaker 3: catchers talk about it the way you did. You had
Speaker 3: such a great understanding about how every picture is different.
Speaker 3: You got to speak to them differently to really connect
Speaker 3: with them. When did you really understand the value of
Speaker 3: the picture catcher relationship.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of It's been important in
Speaker 1: the game obviously forever. But I guess you would say
Speaker 1: pro ball. I kind of get into pro ball obviously
Speaker 1: you see your college players like a good pro ball
Speaker 1: You see these guys every single day, day in day out.
Speaker 1: You know their routines, you know their tendencies, things like that,
Speaker 1: and so the better being their catcher, you understand those guys,
Speaker 1: It just makes it easier for you two to click
Speaker 1: and build the trust within each other. I think trust
Speaker 1: is the biggest word there. And the more you trust
Speaker 1: each other, the better the execution is better. The execution
Speaker 1: is more success you have.
Speaker 3: What was it like having your lockers so close to
Speaker 3: Blake Snell and Clayton Kershaw? Two really good pictures but
Speaker 3: two really different guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you liked that corner, didn't You've asked?
Speaker 3: I loved it you Snell and uh and Kershaw and
Speaker 3: Snell's one hundred pair of sneakers and honey Boom boots.
Speaker 3: That was a great corner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a good corner. But like
Speaker 1: I said earlier that those two being some of the
Speaker 1: guys that kind of helped me settle in I think
Speaker 1: played a big role just being able to see the
Speaker 1: two different personalities in the two and obviously the success
Speaker 1: that they both had at this level. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was a huge opportunity, and who knows, maybe you'll get
Speaker 1: that same corner next year.
Speaker 3: Hey, wherever you are is the corner I'm going to
Speaker 3: be in rushing you don't forget that.
Speaker 1: Hear you that I hear.
Speaker 3: About Velcrow dogs. I'm like a Velcro reporter. Have you
Speaker 3: have you had any withdrawals not being around me every day?
Speaker 3: I mean, has it been weird not seen me every days?
Speaker 1: It's weird not pouring beer on your face anymore. We
Speaker 1: had about a month's stretch of being able to do that,
Speaker 1: and that was that brought joy to me.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to do it again. Yeah, you guys,
Speaker 3: I mean even before Kyle Tuck. Kyle Tucker's along for
Speaker 3: the ride. You guys are the core is back for
Speaker 3: the three p and Kyle Tucker is along for the ride.
Speaker 3: Don't forget it, man, all right, if you need me
Speaker 3: in Arizona to help you get ready for spring training,
Speaker 3: let me know I'm always available.
Speaker 1: We'll see if you got good BT the.
Speaker 3: Okay sounds good? Hey, thanks a lot for doing this
Speaker 3: and look forward to seeing you February thirteenth, when pitchers
Speaker 3: and catchers report, and make sure you put in a
Speaker 3: good word with Kyle Tucker with me all right for me?
Speaker 1: Oh oh well, I'll make sure he knows who you are,
Speaker 1: all right, as I appreciate you.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you. Dalton Rushing, thanks a lot for the time.
Speaker 3: There he goes Dalton Rushing, who is going to have
Speaker 3: an even bigger sophomore season. Awesome to have him on
Speaker 3: a night like tonight where the Dodgers have signed Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: He was playing it very cool, very laid back, you know,
Speaker 3: not trying to get too excited. I would imagine to
Speaker 3: a certain extent, he's wondering, Hey, what does this mean
Speaker 3: for me? It means you're not gonna play the outfield
Speaker 3: that much? Right now? Rushing eight six six nine eighty
Speaker 3: seven two five seventy is the phone number we have
Speaker 3: opened the lines back up. I could not bleave my guy,
Speaker 3: Dalton Rushing. I wanted to get the feeling from a
Speaker 3: young guy like that. The Dodgers adding another player the
Speaker 3: caliber of Kyle Tucker, who is signed for four years
Speaker 3: on an annual average salary of sixty million dollars. There
Speaker 3: are opt outs after year two and year three for
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, who was turning twenty nine years old, in
Speaker 3: just a couple of days. Eight six, nine eighty seven,
Speaker 3: two five seventy is the phone number. Hey, Like I said,
Speaker 3: you know, during this whole process, we had heard a
Speaker 3: couple of there were a lot of different things being
Speaker 3: said about Kyle Tucker, and you had to wonder and
Speaker 3: give some pause to why the Astros traded him. Why
Speaker 3: didn't the Astros, a team that isn't afraid to, you know,
Speaker 3: spend some money on players, on young players. I mean
Speaker 3: when they traded Tucker, he was barely twenty seven to
Speaker 3: twenty eight to the Cubs. And then you wonder why
Speaker 3: the Cubs spend the money they spent on Alex Bregman
Speaker 3: and you never heard them in the mix for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: So those are the type of questions I'm interested in
Speaker 3: asking and hearing the answer from Kyle Tucker. Are are
Speaker 3: the perceptions real about you? Are you really talented? And
Speaker 3: does the game come so easy to you? And do
Speaker 3: you feel like you were misrepresented during this offseason about
Speaker 3: your love for the game of baseball. I'm interested to
Speaker 3: hear that and why teams like the Astros and the
Speaker 3: Cubs did not sign you back and for the Dodgers
Speaker 3: and the Mets, I mean, nobody else really blew them
Speaker 3: away with a seven eight year contract that was close
Speaker 3: to this annual average salary for the Dodgers. It makes sense,
Speaker 3: and for Tucker it makes sense. Tucker has opt outs
Speaker 3: after years two and three. If he does have two
Speaker 3: great years with the Dodgers, he more than likely will
Speaker 3: opt out, no doubt. But if he has, you know,
Speaker 3: the season that he had with the Cubs last year,
Speaker 3: if he gets hurt, he's gonna stay in until possibly
Speaker 3: opting out in year three. And if it goes as
Speaker 3: far as four years, that still isn't an eternity. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers can overcome that. The Brewers, the Reds, the Pirates,
Speaker 3: the Angels, they could not overcome that. We saw that
Speaker 3: with the Angels. They have not overcome the signing of
Speaker 3: Anthony Rendon, so a short term deal. Yes, the average
Speaker 3: annual salary is extremely high sixty million dollars, but let's
Speaker 3: not forget the Dodgers are only paying show Hey Otani
Speaker 3: two million dollars next year. He has deferred so much
Speaker 3: money and the Dodgers have made so much money since
Speaker 3: O'tani signed on and winning back to back championships and
Speaker 3: becoming literally a global brand that they can afford to
Speaker 3: make this type of contract. You're talking about a sixty
Speaker 3: million dollar contract for Kyle Tucker with the penalties that
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are facing being a third straight year offender
Speaker 3: of being in the highest tax bracket in payroll. They
Speaker 3: are paying one hundred and ten percent on every dollar
Speaker 3: of that sixty million and it doesn't matter to them
Speaker 3: because of the way structured his contract. Keep that in
Speaker 3: mind as well. Let's go out to Kellen in LA.
Speaker 3: You're on Dodger Talk with David Vasse. How you doing Kellen?
Speaker 10: Pretty good, Dave, thanks for taking my call. Quick question
Speaker 10: about the signing. What kind of the impact will this
Speaker 10: have on t O and the rest of the outfield?
Speaker 10: And god forbid we go into a lockout? How does
Speaker 10: that lockout affect his terms on his contract.
Speaker 3: As far as Tucker goes?
Speaker 9: Yeah, as far as Tucker, yeah, before you well.
Speaker 3: For Tucker and for yeah, that you know that is interesting.
Speaker 3: I have to I have to look into that. As
Speaker 3: far as getting paid. He wouldn't get paid during the
Speaker 3: lockout like anybody else, but would that count as a
Speaker 3: year two? You know, they're not going to miss the
Speaker 3: entire season next year, Kellen. Even if there is a
Speaker 3: disagreement and a lockout that maybe misses a week or
Speaker 3: two of next year, They're still going to play like
Speaker 3: they did back in what twenty two, one hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty two games because they have brand new broadcast partners.
Speaker 3: So let's just say for the sake of conversation, they
Speaker 3: only play one hundred and forty games in twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 3: that would still be year two for Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 9: Gotcha? Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know, I'm I might be the eternal optimist,
Speaker 3: even though I've been through this before and we've heard
Speaker 3: a lot of the give and take. I could see
Speaker 3: spring training being delayed in twenty twenty seven, but I
Speaker 3: find it hard to believe that both these sides would
Speaker 3: completely mismanage the popularity of the sport and miss too
Speaker 3: much of next season, right, right.
Speaker 7: And then what do you think how this.
Speaker 2: Affectio?
Speaker 10: Would he move to left or would they reopen conversations
Speaker 10: as far as his availability?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, hey, that's not off the table, Kellen.
Speaker 3: But right now, the Oscar Hernandez is your left fielder,
Speaker 3: and you talk about players like keyk Hernandez. Let's not
Speaker 3: forget how big Tioscar Hernandez has been in October for
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Huge Kyle Tucker. Huge Kyle Tucker has not
Speaker 3: been the player ta Oscar Hernandez has been in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: You need to keep Taoscar Hernandez. I am not in
Speaker 3: favor of trading Taoscar Hernandez and the Dodgers are in
Speaker 3: no financial h constraint to be forced to trade ta
Speaker 3: Oscar Hernandez because of everything I laid out regarding this
Speaker 3: all goes back to the Otani signing. You may not
Speaker 3: like it, but he did defer sixty eight million dollars
Speaker 3: every year of his contract, so he's only counting two
Speaker 3: million against you. I love Yeah, we love la, we
Speaker 3: love it. Kellen eight six six nine eighty seven two
Speaker 3: five seventy is the phone number. I mean, like I've
Speaker 3: said before, Number one, Dodger games are no longer games,
Speaker 3: they're events. Number Two, the Dodgers ownership and Andrew Friedman
Speaker 3: has not just been a step ahead the rest of
Speaker 3: the league since they took over. They're three or four
Speaker 3: or five steps ahead of the league. And Otani is
Speaker 3: right on par with them. With the way he had
Speaker 3: the vision to defer the majority of his contract to
Speaker 3: allow a team that he was going to sign with,
Speaker 3: like the Dodgers, to not just pocket that money, but
Speaker 3: to use it to be able to put out a
Speaker 3: competitive team. And Stan Casten has said this. After the
Speaker 3: Dodgers won the first championship in twenty four with Otani,
Speaker 3: he said, nine more I was told by members of
Speaker 3: the staff, the coaching staff, that Otani was telling people
Speaker 3: that again after they won in Toronto. Eight more So,
Speaker 3: this is the vision the Dodgers and Otani had when
Speaker 3: he signed this contract. This goes back to Otani and
Speaker 3: the way he and the Dodgers structured his contract. If
Speaker 3: he's making seventy million dollars every year, and I know
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have to put a certain amount in an
Speaker 3: escrow account, which they are certainly more than capable of
Speaker 3: getting at least ten percent interest on. As guys that
Speaker 3: have made their living on Wall Street and investing, trust me,
Speaker 3: this Tucker signing for sixty million dollars a year. It
Speaker 3: may be mind blowing to all of us, but with
Speaker 3: the dway the Dodgers signed Otani and the way he
Speaker 3: structured his contract and the way the Dodgers have had
Speaker 3: immeasurable success. Well, I'm sure it can be measured in theices,
Speaker 3: but for us immeasurable economic success, this is very much
Speaker 3: within their means and it's not in the means of
Speaker 3: anybody else. And the Dodgers don't have to make any
Speaker 3: apologies for this. The Braves could have done this, the
Speaker 3: Yankees could have done this. A number of teams. The
Speaker 3: Mets were willing to do this. So the Dodgers are
Speaker 3: just a point of destination for a lot of players,
Speaker 3: similar to when Shaq and Kobe and Kobe and Gasol
Speaker 3: and Magic and Worthy were a point of destination for
Speaker 3: the Lakers. Let's take another phone call Beaumont, Devin, You're
Speaker 3: on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Devin?
Speaker 9: Hey, Dave doing Gray?
Speaker 7: I love you.
Speaker 9: I'm such a huge fan.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. It's a great night to be doing
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 9: Definitely, I agree. So I definitely know it is a
Speaker 9: great signing, very positive thing. But I don't know how
Speaker 9: much I like it. I think I wanted someone like
Speaker 9: Bellinger or but shit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I wouldn't say any one of these three.
Speaker 3: I would say Tucker is a better all around fundamental
Speaker 3: hitter than Cody Bellinger. But Cody Bellinger is a playoff
Speaker 3: performer and more versatile than Kyle Tucker. So I would
Speaker 3: say that there's marginal differences between all the three names
Speaker 3: that you mentioned, and that's why I thought it was
Speaker 3: a little ridiculous. Kyle Tucker dragged this on as much
Speaker 3: as he did, but it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 3: sign that he was not getting the market he thought
Speaker 3: he would early in free agency. But to say that
Speaker 3: you wouldn't you don't like this, or you don't want
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, that that's a little bit of a statement
Speaker 3: I can't agree with. Devin.
Speaker 9: No, I definitely think that I like that we signed
Speaker 9: Kyle Tucker. I think it's a good investment and hopefully
Speaker 9: it pays off, even though he didn't do that great
Speaker 9: in the last playoffs. But overall, I agree with you
Speaker 9: that Bellinger and Kyle Tucker matchup very well.
Speaker 3: Okay, let me ask you a question, Devin, what would
Speaker 3: you rather have, because you know you just can't get
Speaker 3: these players in a vacuum? Would you rather have Bobashett
Speaker 3: for eight years, reportedly two eighty three hundred million dollars
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger reportedly five or six years for two hundred
Speaker 3: million dollars, or just play it safe with a really
Speaker 3: good hitter in Kyle Tucker and have them basically for
Speaker 3: two to four years and pay sixty million dollars. That
Speaker 3: is very much within the Dodgers financial means.
Speaker 9: And it's sixty million dollars a year or for that
Speaker 9: four years?
Speaker 3: No a year?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, So I guess I don't know. I guess
Speaker 9: that's not that bad. Let's see hopefully it's a Hopefully
Speaker 9: it pays off.
Speaker 3: And we three p Okay, Devin, I'm glad you agree
Speaker 3: sixty million dollars a year is not that bad. I
Speaker 3: feel like Kyle Tucker will be able to survive the
Speaker 3: next four years on sixty million dollars.
Speaker 9: I agree, that's definitely gonna be a lie and it's good.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know how much you're making
Speaker 3: it Boumont, Devin, but man, sixty million dollars is a
Speaker 3: lot to me. I'll tell you that right now.
Speaker 9: I'm definitely not making sixty million, but I wish maybe
Speaker 9: one day.
Speaker 3: All right, Devin, thank you for the phone on. Thank
Speaker 3: you to everybody that called in on this very special
Speaker 3: Dodger Talk, which certainly broke down the news that Kyle
Speaker 3: Tucker has signed a four year contract with the Dodgers.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned to Dodgers Radio and five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 3: We will have more on this story all day long
Speaker 3: the rest of the night. Ignore Ben Maller and his
Speaker 3: jealousy if you're staying up until eleven, and we'll talk
Speaker 3: to you tomorrow morning and throughout the day to get
Speaker 3: more details on how this all came together and what's
Speaker 3: next for the Dodgers after they have signed Kyle Tucker.
Speaker 3: Thanks to Dalton Rushing as well for joining us. You
Speaker 3: can find the show on the iHeart Radio app. Thank you,
Speaker 3: Ronnie Foscio Sea
