1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begun.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles. The Dodgers are the favorites to become

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 2: the fifth.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Face a spring training Dodger Talk.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Here we go again. We're here, we runner.

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: David Basset.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: We are live night two at Camelback Ranching, Glendale, Arizona.

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Thank you for joining us for another great Dodger Talk

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: show we have planned for you. Coming up at the

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: bottom of the hour, Max Monsey will join us after

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: signing a two year extension. We'll hear from Muncie, who

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: is now the longest active tenured Dodger on this squad

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: after so many guys have departed that have meant a

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: lot to this team for you know, whether it's signing

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: elsewhere or retiring like Kershaw. I know keyk Hernandez is back,

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: but remember he had a little interruption going to the

22
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: Red Sox and then coming back to the Dodgers. So

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: it's Max Muncy who is the longest active tenured player

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: on this team, and keyk Hernandez is the only Dodger

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: player on this team that has played in all of

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: the World Series that Dave Roberts has managed twenty seventeen,

27
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, twenty twenty and of course the back to

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: back World Series championship. So Max Munsey will join us

29
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the hour, and yes, I will

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: have to ask him why I was so top of

31
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: mind when the social media team was asking him about

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: who could not do pushups. It's who's on the team Moncy.

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: But I appreciate him keeping my career alive as far

34
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: as sights and sounds here at camel Back Ranch. And

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: by the way, we do have phone lines open. We

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: are taking your phone calls at eight sixty six nine,

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: eight seven two five seventy. You will hear from Andrew

38
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: Friedman throughout the show tonight. Andrew Friedman spoke to us

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 2: after the workouts were over with, and there were a

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: few different topics that we talked to him about, including

41
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: who are the next wave of young outfielders to be

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: part of this Dodger ball club. Also, Andrew Freeman responded

43
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: to the praise heaped on him and the Dodgers by

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: Bryce Harper and Manny Machado and also a rival GM.

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: So you'll hear from Andrew Freeman about that. In our

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: next segment. You'll hear from Andrew Freeman about the top

47
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: outfield prospects towards the bottom of the hour, and in

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: just a moment, you'll hear what Andrew Freeman had to

49
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: say about Otani and Yamamoto and what the plan is

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: for them as they go to the World Baseball Classic.

51
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: But Taoscar Hernandez and Mookie Betts are in camp first

52
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: official full squad workout. Both those guys have a lot

53
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: to prove and a bounce back type year. Mookie Bets

54
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: had his worst offensive season in the big leagues last year.

55
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: Tai Oscar Hernandez had a rough ride in right field

56
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: and it affected his health and his offense. Taascar Hernandez,

57
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: I've been telling you all off season, is my pick

58
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: to come back and silence all the critics. The people

59
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: that were calling in about Tioscar Hernandez all season long

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: are going to be calling in and doing what you

61
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: did when I stood behind Max Munsey. Because there's a resume,

62
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: and now everybody loves Max Muncy. Everybody realizes what Max

63
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: Munsey means to the Dodger order. Taoscar Hernandez two years

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: ago had a great season for the Dodgers, playing left field,

65
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: hit thirty three home runs, drove in ninety nine runs.

66
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: He is, in his own words, the best shape of

67
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: his career. He has reshaped his body to be more

68
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: agile and to be able to be a better outfielder.

69
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: Here's what ta Oscar Hernandez told me earlier today about

70
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: the motivation to put in the work weeks after winning

71
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: the World Series in Toronto.

72
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 3: It just the fact that I was missing. I miss

73
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: twenty something games. I think it was because of the injury.

74
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: I don't want to these games. I don't like to

75
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: mix these games. I like to be on the field

76
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 3: and for me to stay healthy this year, it's one

77
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: of my goals, and just trying to be there for

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: the team and trying to get to the playoff first

79
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: and then chase another championship. Yeah, yeah, you know, I

80
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: think for every position player, getting a Gold Glove is

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: one of the goal for any player in my career,

82
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 3: I have the silver Slugger. I got some of some

83
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: of that, I got a dreams. Now you know, I

84
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: got some really good seasons and the big leagues, and

85
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: I wanted to get especially now that you know it's

86
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: it's hard to say of two or three years more

87
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: for me in my career.

88
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 4: I wanted to go.

89
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Home having one of those gold glove. Been working really

90
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: hard for it, and let's see what happens this year.

91
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Love it, Love the smile of ta Oscar Hernandez, Love

92
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 2: his spirit. He means a lot to this Dodger team,

93
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: and look him coming into camp in great shape sends

94
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: a message to not only the rest of the league,

95
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: but more importantly his teammates that he is ready to

96
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: come back for a fresh twenty twenty six and have

97
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: the work ethic to help this team three peat. So

98
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: ta Oscar Hernandez is feeling good. He is motivated and

99
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: certainly wants to prove a lot of people wrong. And

100
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 2: when you hear him say when I go home in

101
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: two or three year as well, he is thirty three

102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: years old, so three years from now he's thirty six.

103
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: Not too many forty year old position players, let alone

104
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: outfielders playing in Major League Baseball these days, another thirty

105
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,119
Speaker 2: three year old. He's thirty two right now, but we'll

106
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: turn thirty three during the season that had his worst

107
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 2: offensive season and what many believe is going to be

108
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: a Hall of Fame career. Mookie Betts certainly knows how

109
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: to get ready for the season, a more normal type

110
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: of spring training, knowing that he is going to be

111
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: the everyday shortstop, having a full year under his belt.

112
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: But the reality is Mooky had the lowest batting average

113
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: of his career, the lowest on base percentage of his career,

114
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: the lowest slugging percentage of his career, which means the

115
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: lowest ops of his career. When the Dodgers extended Mookie

116
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: Bets after trading for him, many people believe that the

117
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: contract was not going to age well. But it doesn't

118
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: sound like Mooki Bets is ready to concede any of

119
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: that when we spoke to him earlier today.

120
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 5: Haven't gotten any game actions, so we'll see if we'll

121
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 5: see if anything worked.

122
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: But really just kind of getting.

123
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 5: Back to the basics, I mean, just doing understanding what

124
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: I do best and trying to hone in on that like,

125
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: I haven't had a regular spring.

126
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: Of four years, three or four years.

127
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: Maybe since I've been a Todger, so this will be

128
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: maybe the first one.

129
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: And so I don't really know how.

130
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: It's going to work out.

131
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: I just know that being thirty three now I don't

132
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 5: have to hurry up and get here and be ready

133
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 5: to play from day one, so I can just kind

134
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 5: of embrace that.

135
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you think about it. When Mooki Bets

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: got here in twenty twenty, all of a sudden, the

137
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: pandemic hit in the middle of spring training, and then

138
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty one we were still kind of coming

139
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 2: out of it. And when you look back two years ago,

140
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: he wasn't expecting to be the Dodgers shortstop, but it

141
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: was evident Gavin Lux couldn't handle that position. So as

142
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: the Dodgers were getting to getting ready to board the

143
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: plane to South Korea, they asked him to be the

144
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: everyday shortstop. And for the first time in three years,

145
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are going to have Opening Day in North

146
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: America and specifically in Los Angeles, rather than being in

147
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: South Korea or Tokyo, Japan. So Mooki Bets had a

148
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: rough start to last year, because remember he flew to Tokyo,

149
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: got really sick, lost somewhere between fifteen and twenty pounds,

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: and it felt like he was playing catch up the

151
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: rest of the year and never could find his swing.

152
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 2: And being this my fifteenth year covering the Dodgers, I've

153
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 2: learned from former Dodgers how every year is unique, and

154
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: that's what makes the great ones really special when they

155
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: can do it year after year, guys like Freddie Freeman

156
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: and Mookie Bets. But every year is unique. That was

157
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: last year. The circumstances were completely different than what they

158
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: are this year for Mookie Bets. So let's see if

159
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: he can prove that last year was just an off year,

160
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: because I feel like this is going to be somewhat

161
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: of a tell season. Is this the beginning of Mookie

162
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 2: Bets kind of plateauing and being in the twilight of

163
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: his career, being entering his age thirty three season, or

164
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: is this going to be the season that Mookie Betts says, Hey,

165
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: pump the brakes, I'm not going anywhere. I've got a

166
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 2: lot left in the tank, and don't try to tell

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: me I'm on the down side of my career. Six seven,

168
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: two five seventy is the phone number. Are you a

169
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: believer in Mookie Bets? It feels like Dodger fans want

170
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: to believe, they want to go all in with Mookie Bets,

171
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: but for whatever reason, sometimes you're not buying all in.

172
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like Mookie Bets is about winning every

173
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: parade that the Dodgers have had since he's been here,

174
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: And basically the Dodgers all they've done since Mookie Bets

175
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: has gotten here is when championships. He's won three World

176
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 2: Series since twenty twenty. But I really do believe ta

177
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 2: Oscar Hernandez and Mooki Bets are going to have big

178
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: bounce back years. I might be an optimist, I might

179
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: be a romantic. I may want to believe in these

180
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: two guys, but resume means a lot to me, just

181
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: like resume means a lot to me. Meant a lot

182
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: to me when I was standing firm when so many

183
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: of you were jumping off the Max Monthsy bandwagon, and

184
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: then you saw what life was like without Munci, with

185
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: Mooki Bets having a down year and Tioscar Hernandez looking

186
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: like the Taioscar Hernandez from three years ago in Seattle,

187
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: but I feel like this year is going to resemble

188
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four for both Mooki Bets and Tioscar Hernandez

189
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: eight six six nine eight seven two five seventy is

190
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: the phone number. Also kind of looming around Dodger camp

191
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: is the World Baseball Classic because two of the Dodgers'

192
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: best players, Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, are headed to

193
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: play for Team Japan, and that is huge national pride.

194
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: It means a lot to the country that these two

195
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: guys are going to be playing. Luckily, Otan has conceded

196
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: that he will only hit, but Yamamoto has been termed

197
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 2: as Japan's ace by their manager, and Yamamoto and Otani

198
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: came into camp ready not only for the three peat season,

199
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: but also to try to win the World Baseball Classic

200
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: again for Team Japan. Today, Otani and Yamamoto both faced

201
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: hitters for the second time this spring. Yamamoto pitched two

202
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: innings and earlier today, Dave Roberts said that he expects

203
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 2: Yamamoto to make a start before he leaves for the

204
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, which means he may be on track

205
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: to pitch on Saturday, considering that he just pitched two

206
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: innings today. Otani is not going to pitch in a

207
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: Cactus League game, but Andrew Friedman said he is hoping

208
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: to get Otani into a Freeway Series game when he

209
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: returns from the World Baseball Classic as a pitcher. Speaking

210
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: of Andrew Freeman, I told you we would hear from

211
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Friedman on a number of different topics. I asked him

212
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: whether or not he has had a conversation with either

213
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: one or both of his Japanese superstars to be mindful

214
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 2: that it's not just about Team Japan, it's about the Dodgers.

215
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: Not really, because I know them and I know that

216
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 6: once you know the first pitch and Samurai Japan against Taiwan,

217
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 6: I just know the level of intensity that they will have,

218
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 6: and so it's more just making sure the work up

219
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 6: to this point that we're putting them in the best

220
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 6: positions to go take on that kind of intense atmosphere.

221
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 6: And then obviously the build up with Yoshinobu and where

222
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 6: he's at pitch count wise, what we're able to get

223
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 6: him to here will help inform a little bit of

224
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 6: you know, what that workload looks like. But so it's

225
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 6: more about just the work going in. It is impossible

226
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 6: to tell those guys to dial it back in any way,

227
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 6: and nor would I do that. We've talked to Samurai Japan,

228
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 6: We've talked to Show.

229
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 7: Hey.

230
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 6: I think everyone.

231
00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 2: Understands understands that he's not going to no matter what

232
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 2: the circumstances are, which is a huge relief if you're

233
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: a Dodger fan, and for Yamamoto, you just hope that

234
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: whatever preparation and the strength that he's put on in

235
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: his legs during the off season to be ready for

236
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: not only the long haul and pitching into October again

237
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 2: for a third straight year, but also understand that, yes,

238
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: the Dodgers respect his dedication to his country, but also

239
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: know your body and if you're not feeling like you

240
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: can go deep into a game, maybe don't go deep

241
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: into a game. That's that's all you can hope for

242
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 2: at this point. Eight six six nine eight seven two

257
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,320

258
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: in ten minutes, you'll hear our conversation with Max Munsey,

259
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: who signed a two year extension with the Dodgers and

260
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: many are saying left some money on the table to

261
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: return to the Dodgers. So you'll hear from Max Munsey

262
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: and what he had to say about that and the

263
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: attention that is getting, and also him calling me out

264
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: wanting push ups. By the way, the push up things

265
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: started back when Andre Ethier and Justin Turner and ken

266
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: Lee Jansen were here. They were the Ogs that included

267
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,359
Speaker 2: me in so many different ways. I mean, Adrian Gonzalez

268
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: and Justin Turner would have me play catch to warm

269
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: them up before drills back in twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen,

270
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: and they called me into the weight room around that

271
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: time period eighth year and Justin Turner to do push

272
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: ups in front of the rest of the team. And

273
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: I think Monthsy heard about that. It could have been

274
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 2: again in twenty eighteen when months he was here. But

275
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: that's where it comes from the og Dodgers that certainly

276
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: would include me in a lot of different, different weird

277
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: ways to boost morale during a long spring training. So

278
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 2: we'll get to all that with Max Munsey in ten minutes.

279
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: I want to remind you that our first broadcast, the

280
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: first Dodger game of this Cactus League, is this Saturday

281
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: against the Angels at Tempe Arizona. Our coverage begins at

282
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: twelve thirty, first pitch at one ten. And also on

283
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: to remind you that our only other show this week

284
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: is Tomorrow night and we are going to have a

285
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: lot of interviews, So if you want to get your

286
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: phone calls in, if you have some opinions about whether

287
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 2: or not the world Baseball Classic should put Otani and

288
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: Yamamoto at risk and other players and pitchers. I mean,

289
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: Patrick Sandoval off Team Mexico was never the same, but

290
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: look Yamamoto team Japan. It's a whole different story. There's

291
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: a lot of pride that goes into pitching for Team Japan,

292
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: whether it's the Olympics or the World Baseball Classic. I

293
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: completely respect Yamamoto wanting to pitch for Team Japan, but

294
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: I just hope that he has his own guardrails and

295
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: doesn't compromise not only the short term but the long

296
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 2: term for the Dodgers and trying to repeat because he

297
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: was such a big part of it and will be

298
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 2: this season. So that's my only hesitation with all this.

299
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 8: But I.

300
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: Have no issues with the World Baseball Classic. I just

301
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: don't believe that there should be more emphasis on the

302
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic by a player, no matter how much

303
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: national pride they have, than their major league team who

304
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: is paying them. And there are big fan bases here

305
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball that care about it. So that's

306
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: that's the quandary, right, That's the catch twenty two of

307
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic. But I have no issues. I

308
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: have come to peace with Yamamoto pitching in the World

309
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic. I just want him to have his own guardrails.

310
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,919
Speaker 2: Eight six six nine, eight seven two five seventy is

311
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: the phone number. Edwin Diaz is going to be pitching

312
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: for Puerto Rico. Will Smith is going to split catching

313
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: duties with Cal Rawley for Team USA, and of course

314
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: Clayton Kershaw will be making his way back to Arizona

315
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: here shortly to train with Team ussay his last dance

316
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: to be part of the World Baseball Classic. Now, last

317
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: night we had shared with you what Bryce Harper and

318
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: Minny Machado had to say over the weekend when it

319
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: came to the Dodgers and what they have built again

320
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: and built upon this offseason. Well, it hasn't stopped with players.

321
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: Even rival gms are showering Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers

322
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: with a lot of praise, including Jerry Depoto, the GM

323
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 2: of the Seattle Mariners, was on our sister station KJR

324
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: and was asked about the Dodgers and whether or not

325
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: they are good or bad for baseball.

326
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 8: What is your response to the statement the Dodgers are

327
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 8: ruining baseball. I just think they're awesome. You know, and

328
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 8: where they're deep, they have stars everywhere. They've done it.

329
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 8: Generally speaking, they're good at scouting, they're good at player development,

330
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 8: they're good at roster building. You know, I I I

331
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 8: get it. You know, it's a Their payroll is considerably

332
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 8: higher than than just about anybody else in the league.

333
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 8: And you know, and and very much higher than the

334
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 8: teams that are outside the top three or four. I

335
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 8: say that, and it's it's hard to be to take

336
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 8: shots at what they've built. And you know, and and

337
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 8: the people I think they're smart. They've done a good job.

338
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 8: They take advantage of the resources they have and the

339
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 8: market they work in, and and and they do what

340
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 8: they do. You know, I say that. There's always been

341
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 8: teams like the Dodgers. You know, in our baseball lives,

342
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 8: there's been dominant teams. Sometimes they're big market teams, sometimes

343
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 8: they're they're not, but they don't always win the World Series.

344
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 8: And you know, it's a it's part of being consistent

345
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 8: over time and showing up and just banging down the door.

346
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 8: We feel like we have the ability with the roster

347
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 8: we have to go toe to toe with anybody, regardless

348
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 8: of the size of their payroll or how many stars

349
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 8: they sign.

350
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: Hey, that's a great attitude from a guy that you know,

351
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 2: I have not agreed with a lot. In fact, that

352
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: might be the first time I have ever agreed with

353
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto. And I'm sure you weren't expecting to hear

354
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: that from the Seattle Mariners GM, but they were this

355
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: close to playing the Dodgers in the World Series, and

356
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: they certainly are a contender in the American League again,

357
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: So that was refreshing to hear from Jerry Depoto, a

358
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: guy that I have not agreed on ninety nine point

359
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: nine percent of the things that he has done he

360
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: has said, but that one I certainly agree with. And

361
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: it was refreshing to hear from a guy that is

362
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: in a competitive spot, as Andrew Friedman, not afraid to say, hey,

363
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: what he's doing, what they're doing is impressive. And I

364
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: had a chance to ask Andrew Friedman whether or not

365
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: he had heard what Bryce Harper and Manny Machado had

366
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: to say as far as the praise of the Dodgers

367
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: and them doubling down by signing the best outfielder and

368
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: the best closer this offseason. Here's what Andrew Freeman's response

369
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: was to Manny Machado and Bryce Harper's compliments.

370
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 6: Most importantly, where our own guys don't want to leave,

371
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 6: but where players from other teams are looking longingly like, oh,

372
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 6: I want to be on the Dodgers. That's our goal

373
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 6: because we feel like if we're able to retain our

374
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: really talented players, if we're able to get really talented

375
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 6: players from other teams, that obviously will help in our

376
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 6: ultimate quest to win World Series. So that's not just winning,

377
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 6: it's also how players are treated, how families are treated,

378
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 6: and so I think it's all encompassing for it to

379
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: be a destination spot. So hearing those guys say those

380
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 6: things to me is a real compliment to all of

381
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 6: the people who pour themselves into it here of trying

382
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 6: to create a destination spot in La.

383
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 2: I think Andrew Freeman heard the same thing I heard.

384
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: It sounded like Bryce Harper was opining that he wishes

385
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: he was a Dodger. I don't think there's a spot

386
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: for Bryce Harper. He's a first baseman.

387
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 9: Now.

388
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have Freddie Freeman, but he was very close

389
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: to taking the Kyle Tucker type short term contract and

390
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: a higher salary, but chose to go with the Phillies

391
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: and a long term deal. I like that word that

392
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: he used, longing for the Dodgers. Yeah, there are a

393
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: lot of guys I wish they were part of this,

394
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: but Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz had the option and

395
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: they signed it. Edwin Diaz leaving the Mets and Kyle

396
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 2: Tucker turning down a ten year contract from the Blue

397
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: Jays to sign a shorter term deal with the back

398
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: to back World Series champion Dodgers. Eight six six seven

399

413
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: with Otani hitting, but uh, I just hope that Yamamoto

414
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: is honest with himself and his manager if he's feeling

415
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: fatigue or doesn't feel like he can push through any

416
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 2: sort of early season.

417
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 7: Uh.

418
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say arm soreness, but you know, this

419
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: is still the early part of the season, so he's

420
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 2: got to be careful with that. Thank you for the

Speaker 12: for spring train to start up.

443

Speaker 10: And you know, it's it's good.

444
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: Vibes right now, man, It certainly is. How could it

445
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: be bad vibes when you're back to back champions and

446
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 2: you added Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz and you got

447
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: River Ryan and Gavin Stone coming back. So yes, certainly

448
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: great vibes here at Dodger camp. Glad you made it

449
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: out here, and yes, confirming what I thought that this

450
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: is the biggest crowds I have seen this early in camp.

451
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: And I'm sure this weekend many of you are going

452
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: to leave rainy southern California and head out to Arizona

453
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: for the first two spring training games. The Dodgers in

454
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: Tempe on Saturday and on Sunday the Dodgers will be

455
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 2: in Peoria. We had to take on the San Diego Padres,

456
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: who last night during our show, news broke that they

457
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: signed Walker Bueller to a minor league deal. And Walker

458
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: Buehler arrived to Padres camp today and you'll hear what

459
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller had to say. Wearing man that Padre uniform.

460
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: That was that was hard for me to see. Even

461
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: though I have known for the last couple of weeks

462
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: the Padres were the leading candidate to sign Walker Bueller,

463
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 2: it still was bizarre to see him wearing that uniform.

464
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: So you'll hear from Walker Bueller. But first around the corner,

465
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: our conversation with Max Munsey, who is back with the

466
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,080

481
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,199
Speaker 4: I don't know what you just said, but sure we'll.

482
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: Go with that, Monsey. I offered to do at least

483
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: five push ups to prove to you that your claim

484
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: yesterday that went viral, I mean got more attention than

485
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: Miguel Rojas saying Blake Snail's the weakest guy on the team.

486
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: I am here to prove it to you, Monsie, if

487
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 2: you'd like.

488
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 12: See.

489
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 7: The thing is, we've done this challenge before and you

490
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 7: faltered after one and a half push ups, so I

491
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 7: know where you stand on this.

492
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 2: There were a lot more people watching. You dragged me

493
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: into the wait room, and there were professional athletes demanding

494
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: that I danced like a monkey in there, and I

495
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: felt the pressure. I couldn't get all the way down.

496
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 7: Exactly like I said. I've seen you do it before,

497
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 7: so I know where you're standing is.

498
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,959
Speaker 2: Here's another thing. Even your wife mentioned this the other day. Yeah,

499
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: do you think I need to do five push ups

500
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 2: right now? Miguel Rojas Lake snail is out there. You

501
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 2: can actually go against him. I think I'm putting my

502
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 2: money on you. I feel like I'm in better shape.

503
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm in better shape coming into camp than snail Zilla.

504
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 4: That's a bold statement. I won't say anything about that.

505
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: A lot of hot mics around here. I guess, hey,

506
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: nobody knows how to take a joke.

507
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 4: That's a bold claim. That is a bold claim.

508
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 2: David, Oh, Max, what's it like to be sitting next

509
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: to a guy that you both had such big moments

510
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: in the postseason? Miguel Rojas obviously locker mats with you

511
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,239
Speaker 2: last year tied the game up your home run. How

512
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: much more are we allowed to reflect on last year?

513
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: You know, we can give it a couple more days.

514
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 7: But now that we're getting going for this year, the

515
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 7: focuses on this year. You know, today in our meeting,

516
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 7: we had a nice video that showed kind of the

517
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 7: highlights of last year, and it's really cool to watch.

518
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 7: It gets you gives you chills, you know, just you

519
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 7: kind of replay the whole year in your mind while

520
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 7: what's going on, and you just you think back and go, man,

521
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 7: that was a pretty special year. But now that we're

522
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 7: here for this year, you kind of have to flush that.

523
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 7: You can't be focused on last year. It'd be focused

524
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 7: on this year and what's ahead of us. And you know,

525
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 7: you've heard me say it a million times. Our focus

526
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 7: is on each each and every day. How are we

527
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 7: getting better for that day and how are we focusing

528
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 7: on that day? And you know, me and Miggie, we've

529
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 7: we've been here for a while and that's one of

530
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 7: the things we try to harp on with the infielders

531
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 7: is we got to get better every single day. What

532
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 7: we're doing, How are we communicating, how we feeling ground balls,

533
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 7: how are we throwing? Are we doing all that with intent?

534
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 7: Are we doing that with you know, the focus of

535
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 7: getting better? And if we're not, we got to call

536
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 7: a couple people out. And you know, and sometimes that

537
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 7: includes us. Sometimes we need to be called out. We've

538
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 7: if we've had a bad day, you know, MEIGGI will

539
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 7: come up and be like, hey, what's going on on?

540
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 7: You know, it didn't look like you were focused out there,

541
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 7: and you know, you just have honest conversations with each other,

542
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 7: and that's you know, one of the things it's so

543
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 7: special with this clubhouse is that everyone's open to I

544
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 7: would necessarily call.

545
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,239
Speaker 4: It criticism, but we'll just use that word to make

546
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 4: it easy.

547
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 7: You know, everyone's open to that, and they don't take

548
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 7: it the wrong way because they know it's coming from

549
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 7: a place of love and that it's coming from a

550
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 7: place that we want to be good and for everyone

551
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 7: to be as good as possible, we have to hold

552
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 7: each other accountable.

553
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: With that being said, Dave Roberts mentioned to us that

554
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and Edwin Diaz, two of the newest guys

555
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: in this clubhouse, stood up and spoke. What was the

556
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: mood in the clubhouse when two new guys comes into

557
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: a team that already has a lot of veterans that

558
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: went back to back championships.

559
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: You know, Doc likes to do that early in spring hit.

560
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 7: You know, with the new guys, he likes to give

561
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 7: him a chance to speak, and you know, it helps

562
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 7: everyone in the clubhouse learn who they are. And you know,

563
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 7: the message they sent was great. They came here to win.

564
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 7: They want to win a ring, and you know, they

565
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 7: heard of how great organization is, how great the players are,

566
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 7: how great the clubhouse is, you know, how great the

567
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 7: front office is in terms of how they treat the

568
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 7: players and the families. And they both had very similar messages,

569
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 7: and you know it, it's exciting when you hear that.

570
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 7: And for a lot of the guys that have you know,

571
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 7: been here for several years, you don't forget. But it's

572
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 7: always refreshing when you hear, you know, other players talk

573
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 7: about what they see from from afar about you know,

574
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 7: just the first class organization that we are and that

575
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 7: you know, it's special to be here, and.

576
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: So it's just it's just refreshing to hear that.

577
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes you fall into that category as well. You signed

578
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: it to year extension. You're going to be here for

579
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: at least three more seasons, including this one. It seems

580
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 2: like a lot's been made out of the numbers that

581
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: you took. But how do you react to all the

582
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: attention that you've gotten to re sign with the team

583
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: for two more years?

584
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 4: You know, where else would would rather go?

585
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 7: You know, this is the best organization in baseball, where

586
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 7: the best team in baseball? Why would I want to

587
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 7: go anywhere else? Because I'm greedy. No, that's not who

588
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 7: I am. You know, I know we get we get

589
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 7: paid a lot of money to play this game, and

590
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 7: obviously that's comforting to know that we make a lot

591
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 7: of money. But I never really got into this game

592
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 7: for that reason. I got into because I love the baseball.

593
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: I love to compete, I love to win, and there's

594
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 7: no better opportunity to do that than here. And on

595
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 7: top of that, this organization and the city really has

596
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 7: become my family. And that was one of the key

597
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 7: deciding factors for us was my family. You know, my

598
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 7: kids were born in LA. They love Lay They love

599
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 7: everything about it. They love the Dodgers. They you know,

600
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 7: they know the all the landmarks driving to the stadium.

601
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 7: They when we get to the stadium, they know exactly

602
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 7: where they're going.

603
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: They love it.

604
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 7: Every time they see the color blue, they say that

605
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 7: that's Dodger blue.

606
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 4: And that's Dada blue.

607
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 7: And you know, I'm not going to rip that away

608
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 7: from them because I'm greedy. And like I said, that's

609
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 7: just not who I am. So for me, it was

610
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 7: such an easy decision that sure, maybe I'm leaving money

611
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 7: on the table, there's no way of actually knowing that

612
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 7: there's no way of knowing what other organizations might offer

613
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 7: you out there. But for me, it's it's more than

614
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 7: enough money for me and my family, and you know,

615
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 7: they're set, and it's a chance to stay here and

616
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 7: win every single year.

617
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: Why would I want to go anywhere else?

618
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you have that perspective, because when

619
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: the Dodgers called, didn't have a job at that point

620
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 2: in time, So you've seen what it's like to be

621
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: close to being out of the game to being at

622
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: the pinnacle a three time World Series champion.

623
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 4: You know, there's a little bit of loyalty there for me.

624
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 7: You know, they took a chance on me when I

625
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 7: was basically retired and I was pretty set on retiring,

626
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 7: and they kind of, you know, pulled me out of

627
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 7: the dumpster, and you know, they helped me relearn who

628
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 7: I was and and become the player I am. And

629
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 7: for that, I'm always going to be grateful, And you know,

630
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 7: because of that, I want to show a little bit

631
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 7: of gratitude towards them and not you know, I'm not

632
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 7: trying to burn any bridges there, and it's you know,

633
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 7: it's just a it's just a respect between both of us,

634
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 7: the front office and me, like we've we've had such

635
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 7: a good relationship over the years and it's going to continue.

636
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 7: And you know that that was also another factor in

637
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 7: deciding that I want to stay here is I've made

638
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 7: you know, I've been very open about how i want

639
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 7: to end my career here, but just building the legacy

640
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 7: that I have here when I'm done playing, you know,

641
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 7: whatever I want to do, the Docters are going to

642
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 7: let me do. And you know that's something that kind

643
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 7: of meant a lot to me also to just know that,

644
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 7: you know, if I want to work for the team,

645
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 7: if I want to, you know, just have a little

646
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 7: side role with the team, or if I want to

647
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 7: be a coach, or if I want to, you know,

648
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 7: be in the front office, They're going to give me

649
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 7: an opportunity to do that because of the relationships.

650
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 4: That I've built here and that's something that means everything

651
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 4: to me.

652
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 2: Next months. He's been a big part of the fabric

653
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers since he burst onto the scene in

654
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen and has not rested on his laurels. Yourself

655
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: and all the guys that were part of the team

656
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 2: last year have come into camp ready to go day one.

657
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 2: What did you do with your off season training to

658
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: be able to be ready for this year and as

659
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 2: you evolve as you get later in your career.

660
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I just it was a big focus

661
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 7: on health for me, you know, trying to just do

662
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 7: everything I can to make sure I'm healthy this year.

663
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 4: You know, I dove a lot.

664
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 7: Into the issues that I had, and I feel like

665
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 7: we figured a lot of them out. I've done some

666
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 7: you know, pretty crazy stuff, but you know, I've coming

667
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 7: to the camp in great shape. It's the lightest I've been since,

668
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 7: you know, twenty eighteen. Really, I feel great. And you

669
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 7: know that was part of the reason that you know,

670
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 7: we had good, good discussions with the front office was

671
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 7: you know, we both understand that if I want to

672
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 7: be here, I have to be able to pay third base,

673
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 7: and for me to be able to pay third base,

674
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 7: I just have to be healthier. And so yeah, that

675
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 7: was kind of the key deciding factor. Is just I

676
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 7: want to be able to perform. I want to be

677
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 7: able to be an All Star again, and I want

678
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 7: to help this team win a couple more World Series

679
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 7: And that's just the end goal, all.

680
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 2: Right, Muncie thanks a lot for the time, glad I

681
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: got off the hook of doing any push ups today.

682
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: Maybe week two of the spring training. I'll be ready.

683
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 4: I know you're scared about it. Don't worry.

684
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 7: I won't put you in front of the camera. I

685
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 7: know you're scared about doing push ups. But yeah, for

686
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 7: everyone out there, it's just.

687
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 4: All love between me and David, but I have to

688
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 4: give them a little call out every now and then.

689
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: No doubt. You got to keep me humble. Thanks a

690
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: lot for the time, of course, Max Munsey keeping my

691
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 2: career alive. I appreciate that social media shout out, whether

692
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: it's taking a shot at my lack of push up

693
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 2: acumen or not. I'll take it, and I've I hope

694
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: you have learned to appreciate Max Muncy, who has shown

695
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,919
Speaker 2: the loyalty. All you you want is loyalty, right, That's

696
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 2: all I hear about players need to show more loyalty. Well,

697
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 2: there is no more sign of loyalty than forging free

698
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: agency time and time again and taking less money to

699
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 2: sign with the team that you want to stay with

700
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 2: and not only finish your career, your playing career, but

701
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: then want to stay part of this organization. And that

702
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: just speaks a lot of volumes about who Max Munsey is,

703
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 2: his character, and certainly how much he loves being a

704
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: Dodger and has that loyalty. As you heard him say,

705
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: he remembers in his own words, the Dodger's basically picking

706
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: him up out of the baseball dumpster and giving him

707
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 2: an opportunity in twenty eighteen, and here he is one

708
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 2: of just a handful of players from the twenty twenty

709
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: season that is still a Dodger. Mookie Betts, Max Munsey,

710
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 2: Keith a Hernandez Will Smith and Blake Trinin are three

711
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: of the guys said stand out. Let's not even get

712
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: into the pitchers, but position player wise, those are the

713
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 2: only three from the twenty twenty season that are still

714
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: a part of the Dodgers. And if you go back

715
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 2: even further twenty seventeen twenty eighteen, guys like Cody Bellinger,

716
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: Corey Seeger, Justin Turner no longer with the team, Austin Barnes,

717
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: he's a non roster invite with the Mets. It's incredible

718
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: just how this I don't want to call it a machine,

719
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 2: but just how the organization in the game keeps moving forward,

720
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers have been so good of not having

721
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: one of those huge rebuilds that takes five years, like

722
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: the Phillies, like the Yankees, like some of these other

723
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: teams that have championship runs and then all of a

724
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: sudden fall off a cliff and take five or six

725
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: years to rebuild. Andrew Friedman has always said he never

726
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: wants to be in that position, and even talking to

727
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: him after a Seeger and Bellinger and Turner left, what

728
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 2: his message was is to enjoy the players while they're

729
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: still here, because you don't know where the game of

730
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 2: baseball is going to take them. And you look at

731
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: a guy like Walker Bueller, you thought he was going

732
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 2: to spend the majority of his career, He was going

733
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: to finish the majority of his career with the Dodgers,

734
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: and here he was, after being a World Series hero

735
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, deciding to sign a one year

736
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: contract with the Red Sox that did not go like

737
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: he thought or the Red Sox thought, finished the year

738
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 2: with the Phillies, never got into a playoff game, and

739
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: yesterday signing a minor league contract with the Padres of

740
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: all teams, and look, he's got to find a team

741
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: he wants to pitch in the big leagues. He knows

742
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: the West Coast. I understand all that, but it was

743
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 2: still so bizarre and surreal to see Walker Bueller in

744
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: that Padres clubhouse and after base being on this side

745
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: of things, now on the Padres side of things to

746
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 2: dethrone the Dodgers. Here was Walker Buehler in his first

747
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: day at Padres camp on a minor league deal.

748
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 8: Yeah.

749
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 13: I mean, obviously some some familiarity with the division, and uh,

750
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 13: you know, living in southern California, something that that my

751
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 13: family and are accustomed to, and you know, a good

752
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 13: opportunity to be a part of a really talented ball

753
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 13: club and you know, looking forward to to seeing what

754
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 13: we can make of it.

755
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: How are you kind of view in the spring the competition?

756
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 4: Obviously there's there's spots available here. What do you view

757
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 4: of the opportunity?

758
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, I think largely saying I I've kind

759
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 13: of viewed every spring and come in and try and

760
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 13: make the team and contribute kind of any any way

761
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 13: I can. Obviously, you know, I'm a I'm a starter,

762
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 13: and I want to start so here to try and

763
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 13: make the make the rotation. How do you view the

764
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 13: last couple of years have been these really good stretches

765
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 13: and then there's been some you know times that haven't

766
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 13: been Yeah. I mean, you know, my elbow and my

767
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 13: body's kind of been through some stuff, and uh, you know,

768
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 13: kind of took a different approach and moved out here

769
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 13: for the off season and got my body in a

770
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 13: little bit better spot. And you know, I liked a

771
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 13: lot of the stuff that I was kind of working

772
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 13: on in Philadelphia and just didn't stop throwing and kind

773
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 13: of kept kept working through some of that stuff. And

774
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 13: I feel like the delivery is a lot closer to

775
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 13: what it was kind of pre pre twenty two.

776
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 5: So you don't take the end of one season into

777
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 5: the next all the time, But do you feel like

778
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 5: that that that.

779
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 4: Could be for you?

780
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know that's the plan, right.

781
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 13: I threw the ball well over there, and you know,

782
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 13: getting the velocity back as well as the delivery, it's

783
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 13: kind of been the big thing. And you know, the

784
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 13: second half of last year was was relatively successful compared

785
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 13: to the first half, and you know, there's obviously some

786
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 13: stuff we want to continue to build on there and

787
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 13: get some of the you know, the velocity, the explosiveness,

788
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 13: whatever you want to call it back. But yeah, I

789
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 13: took this off season just a little bit different, and

790
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 13: you know, I feel like it kind of has worked

791
00:41:58,760 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 13: out well.

792
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 7: It feel a little weird walking in here and putting

793
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 7: on brown and yellow.

794
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 13: Yeah, it feels a little weird. I imagine five years

795
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 13: ago it would have been a lot more weird. But uh,

796
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 13: you know, this is a crazy game, and this is

797
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 13: a great opportunity for me to again be a part

798
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 13: of a really talented baseball club, and uh, you know

799
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 13: that's what I'm here to do.

800
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 7: The rivalry obviously so heated between the Padres and Dodgers.

801
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 4: Do you have any let yourself think about what it might.

802
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: Be like to be on the other side of it.

803
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 2: Uh no, Yeah.

804
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 13: We'll make the team first and then try and get

805
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 13: back into that.

806
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 2: Oh come on, Walker Bueller, I mean, when are you

807
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: this humble? You are making that team. I don't care

808
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 2: if you sign a minor league deal or not. You

809
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 2: are going to be part of that Padres rotation when

810
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 2: opening Day comes around, and it is going to be

811
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: interesting to see the reception Walker Buehler gets if he

812
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 2: makes a start for the Padres at Dodgers Stadium. But look,

813
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: it's been a weird career. Ever since he had his

814
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: second Tommy John surgery, he just hasn't been as dominant.

815
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: And you look at what he was able to do

816
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers in twenty twenty four, to do something

817
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: he had never done or felt comfortable doing, and that's

818
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: coming out of the bullpen, and he closed out Game

819
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 2: five at Yankee Stadium and is forever linked in Dodger

820
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 2: history as being one of the heroes of this back

821
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 2: to back championship run. Without the first one, like I

822
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: told Blake Trinin yesterday, without the first one, there is

823
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 2: no second one. And Walker Buehler is a two time

824
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 2: World Series champion with the Dodgers, and during this stretch

825
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: of time of dominance for the Dodgers, he certainly is

826
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: going to be a name in the history books that

827
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: is going to stand out. That's why it's so tough

828
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 2: for so many Dodger fans to digest the fact that

829
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 2: he's going to be pitching for the Padres this year.

830
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: And when he talked about his offseason, it was spent

831
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 2: here in Arizona, working at Alex Bregman's training facility, a

832
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 2: lot of baseball players trained there now, including Trek Scuoble,

833
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger. Walker Bueller put in a lot of work

834
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 2: at Nemesis Baseball in Arizona. And you know, I've exchanged

835
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,800
Speaker 2: text with Walker and he was being very humble because

836
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: the game has humbled him. But he's very encouraged by

837
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 2: the work he's put in and what he's seeing as

838
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: far as the shape of his fastball. So we wish

839
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller the best, except when he pitches against the Dodgers.

840
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 2: And you know, there is a very good chance that

841
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 2: the Padres do make the playoffs as a wildcard team,

842
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 2: and the Dodgers and Padres could face off in an

843
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 2: NLDS situation and instead of Walker Bueller pitching for the Dodgers,

844
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 2: you got playoff Walker Bueller pitching for the Padres. So

845
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 2: that that's way down the road, but I certainly could

846
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 2: see that happening. And here's another Walker Bueller Padres connection.

847
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: Many of you may not know this, but in the

848
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: short time Many Machado was a Dodger, him and Walker

849
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 2: Bueller really connected and they kept in touch and have

850
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: a tight relationship. So Many Machado being on the Padres

851
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: is going to help the transition for Walker Buehller to

852
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: feel more comfortable. But you know, when we get closer

853
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 2: to that, it's going to be interesting to see who

854
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 2: knows even Walker Buller pitching against the Dodgers in the

855
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 2: in spring trending. That's gonna be weird too. And thanks

856
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 2: again to ninety seven point three the Fan for bringing

857
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 2: us all of that audio from Walker Bueller's first day

858
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: in Padre camp. It's still hard for me to say that,

859
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 2: but the Dodgers are the back to back World Series

860
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 2: champions looking for the three peat. The Padres only finished

861
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,320
Speaker 2: three games behind the Dodgers last year in the NLST,

862
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 2: and it just feels like so many of these teams

863
00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers have taken on and beat, seems like

864
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 2: the franchises go sideways, and it looks like the Phillies

865
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 2: are off the rails now with everything that's being said

866
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,479
Speaker 2: in that camp. The Rockies were never the same after

867
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: Walker Bueller and the Dodgers beat them in Game one,

868
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: sixty three and twenty eighteen. The Padres, you know, have

869
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 2: not been the same since the Dodgers beat them in

870
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: the NLDS in twenty twenty four. So we'll see which

871
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: way the Blue Jays go this year, and the Dodgers

872
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 2: will see the blue Jays on their first road trip

873
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: of the season. Now, I mentioned some of the Dodgers

874
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 2: that have moved on for one reason or another. How

875
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: about Justin Turner, who made it clear at his golf

876
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: tournament in October or November that he did still want

877
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: to play in Major League Baseball this year. But no

878
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 2: team has signed Justin Turner, which is hard to believe.

879
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: I know he's forty years old, but I know the

880
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 2: game is trending younger, and I know, oh basically, if

881
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: Justin Turner did end up on an opening day roster

882
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: this year, he would be the oldest position player in

883
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. There's not too many forty year old

884
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: position players. Pitchers that are forty seem to get a

885
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 2: lot more rope than position players. But there's got to

886
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: be a team out there that can use the veteran

887
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: leadership of Justin Turner. And look, if it doesn't work

888
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 2: out this year, if it ends after this year, I

889
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: am very hopeful that the Dodgers would sign Justin Turner

890
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 2: to a one day contract so he could retire as

891
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: a Dodger. But I know he still wants to play

892
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 2: and he has a lot to offer this game. But

893
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 2: sometimes the game doesn't love you back, and he wouldn't

894
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 2: be the first player that has felt that. But he

895
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 2: has a home with the Dodgers. He will forever be

896
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 2: a Dodger, and we'll see where it goes with Justin Turner.

897
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: But I know the fan base loves him, the Dodger

898
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: organization loves him, and certainly his teammates, whether it's with

899
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: the Dodgers or any other team that he's been with

900
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: have really loved being around him and have appreciated Justin Turner.

901
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 2: So a team could use him, they would be There's

902
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 2: got to be a team with a lot of young

903
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 2: players that he use Justin Turner. Even the Marlins, Come on, Marlins,

904
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: you need a guy like that, all right. That'll do

905
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: it for us on Dodger Talk tonight. Thanks for Max

906
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,240
Speaker 2: Munci joining us, Thanks for Andrew Friedman giving us the time,

907
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,399
Speaker 2: And in case you missed any of that, you can

908
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: find it on the iHeartRadio app. Thanks to Ronnie Fossa

909
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: for all his help, and again, the only lights on

910
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: here at camel Back Ranch besides the ones on the

911
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 2: broadcast booth are in the clubhouse storage area. That's where

912
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: clubhouse manager Alex Torres still has the lights on. Maybe

913
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 2: I'll go get a belt from him or something. You

914
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 2: never know. I'm losing so much weight out here, I

915
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 2: might need a new belt. We'll talk to you tomorrow

916
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: night at seven o'clock. Fox Sports Radio is next. See you,
