00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: are about the Dodgers wanting more, wanting a three peat.

00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: And we are going to have another Dodger Talk on

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: Friday night at seven o'clock as well. We'll have another

15
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: special guest trying to work on it. It might be

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: a big enough guest where they could tell us what's

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: going on as far as other moves the Dodgers have

18
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: up their sleeve. And look, you heard Petro some Money

19
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: talk about it mock Pingalore from KTLA five News and

20
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: it sounded like a generic fan basically. You know, I

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: could have came on here. I could have gone on

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Twitter weeks ago and said, Hey, I hear the Dodgers

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: and Tigers are talking about Tarrek's scouble. Yeah, they talked

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: about Trek scouble two years ago, but the Tigers were

25
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: not going to trade him because they believed they were

26
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: going to be contenders the following year. And that's exactly

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: what took place. The Tigers have been very good the

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: last couple of years. Now, here's what I know as

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: far as the Trek Scouoball situation. Number One, they're GM.

30
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Scott Harris has had multiple chances to deny and flat

31
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: out say he is not trading terror schoolbl He never

32
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: did that and has not done that, which makes me

33
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: believe there is a very good chance that Tarrek Scuubole

34
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: gets traded before opening day. I was a little suspicious

35
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: that these were just rumors and the Tigers were just

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: trying to gather information, and at the end of all

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: of this, they may just be doing that. But I

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: know a lot of people in Orlando, and I'm not

39
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: talking about media people. I'm talking about a lot of

40
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: managers and GMS in Orlando either believe Schoolball is going

41
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: to get traded or are not sure whether or not

42
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: the Tigers will trade him. What I knew now talking

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: to people in Orlando that we're there and are very

44
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: familiar with what the Tigers are asking for Trek's Scoobol.

45
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: They are asking for a one year rental of Trek's Scoobol,

46
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a package that would rival with the Padre sent to

47
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: the Nationals for Juan Soto. In case you don't know

48
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: what that was, and Soto was under team control for

49
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: two years. The Padres sent cj Abrams, James Wood, Mackenzie Gore,

50
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: Luke Voight, and an outfielder that never materialized in another

51
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: starting pitcher that never materialized, six prospects, one that was

52
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: ready to go, the other two a year or so

53
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: away for two years of control of Juan Soto. From

54
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: what I understand, the Tigers wants something that rivals that.

55
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: And the difference is the Tigers are trying to win,

56
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: and if they trade Trek Scoobel, they've got to sell

57
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: to their fan base in Detroit. We just traded the

58
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: best picture the Tigers have had since Jack Morris or

59
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander more recently for more than just prospects, very

60
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: winnable Ale Central and the Dodgers have those type of

61
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: players to send to Detroit. And before we go any

62
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: further with all that, let's just make this clear. The

63
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: reason why there has been rumors and reports linking the

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers to a possible trade for Trek Skoubel is not

65
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: because of their three hundred and something million dollar payroll,

66
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: not because they have the financial wherewithal, but because of

67
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: their drafting and developing. When they don't even have first

68
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: round picks, they just forfeited their second and fifth highest

69
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: draft picks by signing Edwin Diaz. This is a testament

70
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: to Andrew Friedman, to Brandon Gomes and their scouting department

71
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: to be able to not only go after the top

72
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: tier guys like Otani Freeman and Taoscar Hernandez and even

73
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, Mookie Betts when they extended him,

74
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: but Blake Snell, Tyler Glass now guys like that. It's

75
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 1: not just about them going after those top tier, high

76
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: money free agents, but also having the farm system thanks

77
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: to their player development, to be able to be even

78
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: considered by the Tigers. Said, Hey, this team may have

79
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: what we want. If the Dodgers do end up trading

80
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: for Trek Skouble, whether it's before the season or at

81
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: the trade deadline, don't get it twisted. There's going to

82
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: be people outraged and pointing the finger that baseball's broken.

83
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: The Dodgers have all this money, uh huh. When it

84
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: comes to this, this is about their drafting, their scouting,

85
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: and their player development to have players young players prospects

86
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: to be able to trade and be engaged with the

87
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: Tigers for a Trek Scooble. Has nothing to do with

88
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: the size of their payroll. Has everything to do with

89
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: their player development and having these players that are very talented,

90
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: whether or not they turn out to be really good

91
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: or not well right now, a lot of people believe

92
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: they have the potential and that's why they get tagged

93
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: as a prospect and have one of the top five

94
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: farm systems according to multiple publications. So if this happens,

95
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: it's not because of the financial might of the Dodgers,

96
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: it's because of the player development system and the drafting

97
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: under Andrew Friedman. And look if Tarrek's scouble, if the

98
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: Tigers are listening for Trek Scouble, you gotta believe Andrew

99
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Friedman is not just going to pass on it. He's

100
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: going to be aggressive because he has the prospects to

101
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: be aggressive within reason, within reason. And don't forget Trek

102
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Scuble is a Scott Boris client. The chances of him

103
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: agreeing to an extension are very unlikely. Boris clients usually

104
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: go to free agency, especially in a situation like this,

105
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: especially for the premiere pitcher. Scott Boris is not going

106
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: to sign an extension. He is going to take Trek

107
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Scouble to the open market. Whether it's the Mets, whether

108
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: it's the Dodgers, whether it's the Pirates, whether it's the Tigers.

109
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: Trek's Scouble will be a free agent. So it's a

110
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: one year rental with the hopes of trying to bring

111
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: him back. Make no mistake about that other Dodger news

112
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: Taoscar Hernandez, who has been rumored in trades. He told

113
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: a reporter in Spanish, I believe his I tweeted out

114
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: his name. I don't know him off the top of

115
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: my head, but I'm going to get his name right now.

116
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: He told Moisis Moisus fabion of Moises to sport this

117
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: that he is not going to play for Team Dominican

118
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: Republic in the World Baseball Classic so he can get

119
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the recovery that his body requires. Remember he had the

120
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: groin injury, so he is not going to play for

121
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic. He has let Albert Poolhols know

122
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: that already, and the Athletic is reporting the Royals have

123
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: been a team that has a lot of interest in

124
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: Taioscar Hernandez. So we'll see what happens with ta Oscar.

125
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,119
Speaker 1: If you see some of the videos on his Instagram,

126
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: he looks phenomenal. He looks like he's ready for a

127
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: rebound season, and I hope that's with the Dodgers. We're

128
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk. We

Speaker 1: Christmas program. But I kind of filled you in on

148
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: everything I know. When it comes to Trek's schooble am

149
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: I going to say, hey, I'm hearing Andrew Freeman's really

150
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: working hard, or there's an extension, or the Tiger's owner

151
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: has got to sign off. If you're getting so far

152
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: down the road on a trade, the owner would be

153
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: very much involved before you got that far down the road.

154
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that it's not going to happen.

155
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: I would say that if the Tigers are indeed open

156
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: to trading Schooble. The Dodgers and Mets would be the

157
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: two favorites to land him for a one year rental

158
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: and see where it goes from there. Eight six six

159
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: nine eighty seven two five seventy is the phone number.

160
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: All right, we are joined right now by a man

161
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: that spent his entire twelve year Major League career with

162
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. He still has strong ties and a lot

163
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: of Dodger pride and may have even had something to

164
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: do with Edwin d As choosing the Dodgers over the Mets.

165
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: He's outside of his kids Christmas program. The love of

166
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: the game still very strong for Andre Ethier Dre. Thanks

167
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: a lot for calling in. How did the Christmas program go?

168
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: It went good? Thanks for having me on, Dave, you know,

169
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: into with the gotel on the mountain for the big

170
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: clothes and you know what a night you know, good night.

171
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: You know what a season it is. And like you

172
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: mentioned about our guy, our newest edition there, Edwin Diaz

173
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: had a chance to, you know, be at the MLB

174
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 2: Awards there Vegas a couple of weeks ago for the

175
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: golf Term and Award show, and it happened to be

176
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was meant to be or not,

177
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 2: but it was. I was at a table for the

178
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: Ward Show with Edwin Diaz, and that was the first

179
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: thing I said to him as soon as we sat down,

180
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 2: was you're gonna sign with the Dodgers, right, And of

181
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: course he gave me that smirk. And I sat there

182
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: now for the entire two hour event and talked up

183
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: the Dodgers soon the whole time. So I don't know

184
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: if I had a had a hand in it or not,

185
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: but I like to say that I was one of

186
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 2: the first ones to go heavy and hard after him

187
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: that he should be a Dodger.

188
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: I love that.

189
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: And you know this better than we do. Players talk

190
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: when they hear that from another player or they hear

191
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: it from current players. How much does that sway a

192
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: guy from choosing one team from the other if it's

193
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: close like it was.

194
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if I don't know

195
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: if he was taking my word, but he probably got

196
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: more annoyed with me sitting there talking to him about

197
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and how great it was. And I know

198
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: his brother was on the team, and you know, he's

199
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: pretty familiar with his experience there and I mean what

200
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: to get what to start to to the offseason. I'm

201
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: not surprised that the that the Dodgers made that move,

202
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not surprised that the first ones to make

203
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: the big splash and let everyone else know there. You know,

204
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: no across baseball that we're not stopping by any means.

205
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Just because they've won the second World Series doesn't mean

206
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: they're going to stop there. And they're going after it

207
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: again and doubling down. And I've seen a lot of

208
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: rumors here about another certain Cali Arizona boy that could

209
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: be end up a Dodger here hopefully if the trade

210
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: comes down to it. And you know what a time

211
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: to be a Dodgor to be a doctor fan, all Right?

212
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: So I asked Brian Cranston this the other night. He's

213
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: in London on on some sort of theater. He's starring

214
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: in a theater. Play out there, my three sons. It's

215
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: one am in London. When Game seven was going on

216
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: in Toronto. We haven't talked. You haven't really shared where

217
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: you were when the Dodgers found a way somehow to

218
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: come back to win Game seven. Where was Andre Ethier

219
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: watching Game seven of this year's World Series.

220
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: I was luckily sitting at home, uh, you know for

221
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: the night before. I I I think I hastily pushed

222
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: my kids through the neighborhood. You hurried them for trick

223
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: or treating the night before, and that next night definitely

224
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: exhausted from you know, the night of of a trick

225
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: or treating. I got a chance to sit at home

226
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: and watch that game, and I mean, yeah, the edge

227
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: of my seat. I uh, I guess that one play

228
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: alone just sums up the game of baseball. That play

229
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 2: at home plate that Mickey made, and uh, you know,

230
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: with the outreach and stretch of Wales Smith there, it's

231
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: a game of inches. You hear all the time, a

232
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: game of inches. And literally the Blue Jays were that close,

233
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: like that close from winning a World Series and the

234
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: Dodgers losing and it just slips away. And yeah, so

235
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 2: I was lucky to be able to sit at home

236
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: to enjoy that. I was screaming for that last you know,

237
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: six innings of the game going through it. But shows

238
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: a lot to you know, what this team has done

239
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: with organization done. And I guess you know, you year

240
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: it over and over. You can't be more proud or

241
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: more happy for the fan base and for the city

242
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: of la for how they've rallied around this team the

243
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: last twenty years.

244
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: You said you were sitting next to Edwin Diaz at

245
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: the MLB Award Show. You were partners with Will Smith

246
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: in the golf tournament part of that week in Vegas.

247
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: What did he share with you about the World Series?

248
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: So what did you ask him about the play at

249
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: the plate, about the home run? Did you, guys, did

250
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: you try to pick his brain and figure out what

251
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: he was feeling through all that?

252
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: Well, Actually a very interesting twist to that. Our first

253
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: day pairing and that golf tournament head to head was

254
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 2: with Blue Jay's. We were paired with Clement and the

255
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: big home run hitter walk off Joe Carter himself. Oh

256
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 2: wow was our pairing. Yeah, it was our pairing for

257
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: the first day and so Joe, Joe Carter had nothing

258
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: but bad energy. He'd liked to say towards Will Smith

259
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: because he said, you try to steal my shiginn and

260
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: in Toronto, and after he was giving Will Smith a

261
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: hard time about the whole time. So, yeah, Will got

262
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: to extrapolate a little bit on that home run, and

263
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, just up until that point, like he was saying,

264
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: you know, he was really struggling to really drive the ball,

265
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: get behind a pitch. You know, he was making great contact,

266
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: just doesn't feel like it was really lining up too well.

267
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: And then that last couple of games, stuff started to

268
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: click where he was able to add a little bit

269
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: behind it, was able to get in that strong, you know,

270
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: hitting position where he could drive the ball. And he

271
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: had faced you know, pitcher a few times and knew

272
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: what he was coming at him with, he said, and

273
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: sure enough, I think he had a homer off him.

274
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 2: And I thought, I don't know if he was college

275
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: or minor leagues off a similar pitch. He was saying,

276
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 2: so you know he had some had some spears against him,

277
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: and knews just throw that pitch, and sure enough he

278
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: did and hit a homer offit. But yeah, that play

279
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: by Big he said, after that play, and I was

280
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: given him hard time. I said, when are we going

281
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 2: to get the air guitar out on the green? Are

282
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: we going to get the air the air guitar that

283
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: you had after that play at home plate or that

284
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: play you know by Kik the double play there, and

285
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: you know he was he was having a hard you know,

286
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: a fun time with that, but I mean, what an

287
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: experience to hear it from him firsthand, and then getting

288
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 2: to hear it from Blue Jays on the other hand,

289
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 2: kind of getting to relive it again a couple of

290
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: weeks later from it. It was a great time and

291
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: for great event. And you know, Will what a what

292
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: a hero and what a guy keeps coming through those

293
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 2: big situations.

294
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: Must be something to do with that jersey number sixteen,

295
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: Rick Monday a big home run in the NLCS and

296
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: eighty one. You're known for being one of the most

297
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: clutch Dodgers in the last twenty five years, and Will

298
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: Smith one of the most clutch Dodgers at number sixteen.

299
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: There's something with it.

300
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: I like to think it, but you know, it's still

301
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: the player, and I mean, the guy's having a great

302
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 2: career and you got to give him a lot of

303
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: credit for, you know, the way he's been able to

304
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: do this over the last couple of years and played

305
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: a premium position like catcher and getting up there and

306
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: handling the staff. You can just see the experience he

307
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: brought into that world series and how he's you know,

308
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 2: just leveled out and able to keep calm and stay

309
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: focused on the situation. And I think that was the

310
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: thing I kind of was talking to him about on

311
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: our right around, was you know, just he said, it

312
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: was just so much energy, so much going on in

313
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: that whole series. But you look at Will and you know,

314
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 2: during the regular season, Will's the comics guy, and you know, no,

315
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: no expressions, nothing, And he was the same way in

316
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: the World Series, except those couple of moments in those

317
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: you know, in Game seven where he let out the

318
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: air guitar. He you know, was pumping his fist doing

319
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: that stuff with the big homer, and you know, he's

320
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 2: just a steady player and it's amazing to see. And

321
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say he plays golf the same exact way.

322
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: There's not a he doesn't get too excited with the

323
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: good shot, doesn't get too excited with the bad shot.

324
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: It's the same guy out on the golf course.

325
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: Andre Ethier, number sixteen himself is joining us on Dodger Talk. Hey. Andre.

326
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: Last night, Logan White, a guy that you know really well,

327
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: announced that he's retiring from the game of baseball. He

328
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: was a big part of Nick Coletti's front office. Dan

329
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Evans front office and even for a short time, was

330
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: able to stick with the Dodgers through the deep adesty years.

331
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: But when the Dodgers traded for you, they didn't draft you, obviously,

332
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: but when they traded for you, I would imagine Logan

333
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: White had something to do with it. Are you familiar

334
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: with what his involvement was? How close are you to

335
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: Logan White because he drafted so many of your great teammates,

336
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: including Kershaw and kem.

337
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it started off like this whole

338
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: run these Dodgers are on has a lot to do

339
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: with the architect that Logan White created.

340
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: He was the architect of this run that you're seeing

341
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five. You know, it's it started with

342
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 2: Clayton Karshaw, It started with Matt Camp. It started with

343
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: him drafting all those great players that showed up when

344
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: kind of when the Dodgers were hitting their stride when

345
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: Guggenheim took over. Those were the key, you know, players

346
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: in that system that he had drafted and scouted all

347
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 2: those years that you know kind of has led to

348
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: this success. So you got to give him a lot

349
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: of credit. And I don't know if the fans realize

350
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 2: that or understand that that he was. You know, you know,

351
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: you have a GM, you have a guy like Andrew Freeman,

352
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: a guy like Ned Cletti who are there, you know,

353
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: with the team, the major league team day to day

354
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: operate that obviously they oversee the entire top to bottom

355
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 2: operation of the organization. But at the same time, you

356
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 2: have your minor league scouting coordinators, your directors, all those

357
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: guys who run the minor leagues and are the ones

358
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: like we're seeing today, are providing the pieces for great

359
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: trade prospects, maybe graduating a guy up to the big

360
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: like a Will Smith who's a really productive player. And

361
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 2: they're the ones who are the backbone of this organization

362
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: that are always there to like I said, promote those

363
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: guys add pieces when you need it if you have

364
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: the depth in your minor league system, and I don't.

365
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 2: I think they fly under the radar a lot. And

366
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: you know, Logan did a great job in all those years.

367
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean identified arguably the best pitcher in our generation,

368
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: if not you know, top ten pitcher of all baseball.

369
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: He identified him, wanted him, got them signed, and got

370
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: them developed in the big leagues within a couple of years.

371
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: You know, I had a great relationship with him. He

372
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: scouted me my last two years in the minor leagues

373
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: from you know, being at a higher level in Double A.

374
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 2: And then of course when I was in the Fall

375
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: League with Matt Camp, Russell Martin, James Loney and those

376
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 2: guys in the Fall League, guys like Logan White, all

377
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: the scouting directs, all those guys are pretty much at

378
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 2: every one of those games all Fall League, watching their

379
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: top prospects play. So Logan was there watching those guys.

380
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: And when that was when I was in Oklahoma, he

381
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: was there watching me also, And that's kind of how

382
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 2: that trade when it got proposed with A's I was

383
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: the key piece that those guys wanted and you know,

384
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 2: they weren't gonna stop. And you know, that was the

385
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: same story he told me a couple of years ago.

386
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 2: When I read it him, he goes, what what a.

387
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: Trade me we made?

388
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 2: He's like, we told him that we weren't gonna, you know,

389
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 2: go past anyone besides you on that on that deal,

390
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: and that was our our sticky point. And you could

391
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: have you know, Milton Bradley, and we had to throw

392
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: an Antonio Perez just to make them feel good about

393
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: giving you up, and you know, I was very thankful

394
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: and obviously sitting here today to be a part of

395
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: this organization and be a Dodger changed my life, changed everything,

396
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: you know, my trajectory of where I was, my baseball career, trajectory,

397
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: where I am in my life. And I'm thankful for

398
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: guys like him who went to that for me and

399
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: fought for me and believed in me and saw something

400
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: special in the limited time you got to see me play.

401
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: Hey, very thankful for Logan White as well. Glad that

402
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: Andre Ethier became a Dodger. I always told Nick Colletti

403
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: his first trade was his best trade, and that was

404
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: for you, Hey, before I let you go. A lot

405
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: of people feel like Max Munsey has the same type

406
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: of disgust for me as you did when you played.

407
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: Do you feel like it rivals that? Do you feel

408
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: like Monsey's gonna send me a Christmas present? Where do

409
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: you think this stands moving forward?

410
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: Well, you sit here and begged me on text to

411
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: get on with you all the time. I feel like

412
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: it's charity now to get on with you. I don't know,

413
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: but Max is doing a great job. I'm glad. I'm

414
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: glad he's picked up. I feel a little bad we

415
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: shared this. I feel a little bad that people might

416
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: be getting confused that, especially your girl Lizzie there, who

417
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: is confused. Elizabeth Olsen is confused whether you're getting bullied,

418
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: you're getting teased? H Did the players actually like you?

419
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 2: I will be the first one to say and I

420
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 2: and I will go out there. I'm not gonna speak

421
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: for Max, but all the all the all the you know,

422
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: the hard times, the back and forth I've given you

423
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: was always out of love.

424
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: And you know that, and you.

425
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 2: Understand that we have, we had we we have a

426
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 2: great relationship.

427
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 4: You know.

428
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: It's just about part of about being in the locker room,

429
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: being around guys that you like. You know, if if

430
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: someone's not talking to you, you know this, David, if they're

431
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 2: not talking to you and ignoring you, that's that's worrisome.

432
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: If they're giving you a hard time and always ripping

433
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: on you do that, that means they like you in

434
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: the locker room. And that's a part of the game,

435
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: part of baseball. And I'm glad Max, you know, picked

436
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: up where I kind of left off with the and

437
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: always give you a hard time and making fun of

438
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: your polos and all the funny things you do, like

439
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: sliding down slides and breaking your own hand when you're

440
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: trying to have a good bit.

441
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: All that stuffs to take care of my wrist. She

442
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: wants to hold and make me feel better.

443
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: I don't know.

444
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: She might want to start a GoFundMe for you, I

445
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: think of anything.

446
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: But what do you think?

447
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 2: How do you think? How do you think max max

448
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: Is has been doing picking up where I left off.

449
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: I think he's right there. I mean, you never blew

450
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: cigar smoke in my face during an interview, so I

451
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: think he's he's right there. I feel unintentionally he has

452
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: taken the baton from you.

453
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's all we're having a good time.

454
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, great time.

455
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: I never feel like it's bowling like you said. I'm

456
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 1: just I'm happy going back to when you played that

457
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: you guys include me and that made me feel a

458
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: bigger part of it than I actually am. So I

459
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: always appreciate all you guys including me and that that

460
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: that means a lot to me.

461
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think the fans sometimes maybe lose

462
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: a little sight of that that, you know, Dave Assay,

463
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: Joe Davis, you know, the entire team, uh, you know,

464
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: the entire media team that they see on the radio,

465
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,359

00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 5: some point, but no, it is a great tequila. But

621
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 5: you know, working here, it's a family, you know, just

622
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: like the Dodgers organization. Everybody cares for each other and

623
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 5: it's so it's such a joy to come to work.

624
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: When I think about you when I'm in Cincinnati, I'll

625
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: think about you in this air conditioned, cushy studio.

626
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 5: It is a great place to come over with. Listen,

627
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 5: Dodgers Stadium. There's no place like it because you know,

628
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 5: the fans are the best, incredible, beautiful stadium and the

629
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 5: weather's always great. So yes, very fortunate when we're not

630
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 5: at home, when we're on the road. I'm here in

631
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 5: studio and you're in Cincinnati, you're in.

632
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: The hot weather. So uh, it is still the big

633
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 3: League zone. Yeah, no doubt, Jay Hare.

634
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Dodgers, the winter meetings, the hot stove.

635
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to know what's next. You went back to

636
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 1: back championships. They wanted three pete you signed Edwin Diaz.

637
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 1: Now there's rumors about Trek Scouble. What do you believe

638
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: are the real chances a Schooble gets traded to any

639
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: team and b that the Dodgers may be that team.

640
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.

641
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 5: If you're the Detroit Tigers, you got to figure out

642
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 5: are you going to extend u Tarrek Scooble. Obviously he's

643
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 5: probably the best left handed pitcher in all of baseball.

644
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 5: Some say he's the best picture in all of baseball.

645
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 5: If you're going to keep them, you extend them, great,

646
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 5: more power to you. But if you don't think you're

647
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 5: gonna re sign him, you can't hold onto him. You

648
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 5: have to trade him because he is such a huge piece.

649
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 5: And with trading him, you got to go out there

650
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 5: and get a plethora of young talent. Now, on the

651
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 5: flip side, Dodgers got what a lot of young talent.

652
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 5: Everybody talks about the Dodgers' money, which they do have

653
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 5: a lot of money. But I think the most important

654
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 5: part of the Dodgers that people fail to realize. They

655
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 5: have an incredible pharm system. They draft well, sign well.

656
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 5: I think more importantly, they develop players so they're in position.

657
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 5: If the Tigers aside to part ways with Screwball, they

658
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 5: can be positioned to have the necessary pieces to trade

659
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 5: for that elite starter.

660
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna ask you another question, because on

661
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: the show tonight you talked about the Dodgers needing to

662
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: add an outfielder. I'm gonna give you a hypothetical here

663
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: of players that have been rumored to be available. Out

664
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: of these three outfielders, who fits the Dodgers the best.

665
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: Would it be Brendan Donovan of the Cardinals, Jared Durant

666
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: of the Red Side, Harrison Bader who finished the year

667
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: with the Phillies.

668
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 5: Oh wow, you know all three are winning ball players,

669
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 5: really good players in their own right. I've always been

670
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,479
Speaker 5: a Harrison Batter fan, man. I know he can play

671
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 5: elite defensive center field. I think that's the biggest need

672
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 5: for us, specially with Keith cary Nannis. We have a

673
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 5: feeling he will resign with the Dodgers, but he just

674
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 5: had surgery. He may take some time to get to

675
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 5: gim back healthy. Obviously, Tommy Edmund had ankle surgery as well.

676
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 5: We don't know what his time pool table is. I think,

677
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 5: more importantly with the Dodgers, I would love to see

678
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 5: task her Nanis go back to left field. I know

679
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: he loves right field, but look at the season he

680
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 5: had as a left fielder, especially offensively. Right field, especially

681
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 5: Dodgers statement is very demanding. It's not an easy place

682
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 5: to play. So if you get in a center fielder,

683
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 5: you can move Paez who's got an elite arm to

684
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 5: right field, tail to left, and a guy like a

685
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 5: Harrison Bader who covers tremendous ground in center field and

686
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,800
Speaker 5: he's a winning type player. So listen, all three guys

687
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: will be a great fit for the Dodgers. But if

688
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 5: I had to choose one, you know, Harrison Bader Man,

689
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 5: he's got some swag. Man, He's got that that I'd

690
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 5: like to see in a player, tough out in the

691
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: batter's box, he's got some pop, but more importantly, he

692
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 5: ain't afraid to run in the walls and make that

693
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 5: catch what you needed.

694
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: He seems to be a Jerry Harrison type of player.

695
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah he is.

696
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 5: I mean he's he's old school. You know, I love

697
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 5: all school type of players. Really, I can make a

698
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 5: case for Jerant, who I love his his style of

699
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 5: player as well.

700
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: He's a great player. Donovan is also a really good player.

701
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 5: But I think if those three guys, I would say

702
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 5: maybe Baitter maybe fits us a little bit better.

703
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: Jerry harriston JUNR. We're hanging out at sports net La tonight.

704
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: We finished Access Sportsnet Dodgers. We got Radio Magic going

705
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: for you on Dodger Talk until eight o'clock. Going back

706
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 1: to Trek schoolball. If the Dodgers were able to find

707
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: a trade match with the Tigers, are you comfortable with

708
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: it just being a one year rental? Because Scott Boris

709
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: is his agent, we all know he'll take him to

710
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: free agency.

711
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 5: I would be comfortable with that because we've seen in

712
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 5: the past when we traded for Bookie Betts. You know,

713
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 5: he came here and fell in love with La I

714
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 5: think that could be a possibility.

715
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: Listen, I played for nine different franchise. I loved everywhere.

716
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 5: I played every city, but there's nothing like La Man,

717
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 5: the weather, the people, the fan base, the camaraderie that

718
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 5: this team has really built, especially in recent years. So

719
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 5: if you get a guy like Schooble and he's here

720
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: and he sees what entails being a Dodger and being

721
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 5: on this team, he may want to say, you.

722
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: Know what, I don't want to leave this place.

723
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 5: And obviously the Dodgers do have the money they do

724
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 5: have the resources to make that happen, So I would

725
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 5: be optimistic if he does come that he'd want to.

726
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: Resign here at this point in time, with the Dodgers

727
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: having the success they've had, winning back to back championships

728
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: and wanting more a guy like Edwin Diaz or any

729
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 1: other free agent out there, doesn't it say something about

730
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: what type of player they are that, if all things

731
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: are equal, I'm choosing the Dodgers. And conversely, for players

732
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: that say no, thanks, doesn't it say that maybe winnings.

733
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 3: Not number one for them? Well, it is.

734
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 5: And first of all, to go back to your first point,

735
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: the Dodgers are in the position because they not only win,

736
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 5: but they have created a culture that players want to

737
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 5: be here.

738
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 3: Listen, players talk all the time.

739
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 5: When I played, you knew where where the places to

740
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 5: play were, how teams organizations treated their players. And you

741
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 5: gotta remember, Alexis Diaz was a Dodger last year as well,

742
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 5: and I'm sure he told his brother. Me and my

743
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 5: brother played in the Biglies at the same time. We

744
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 5: talked about places that we played. Hey don't go here,

745
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 5: or hey, you want to go play for this organization?

746
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 5: So it's no secret that the Dodgers are beloved by

747
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 5: so many players. You know, Bryce Harper have talked about

748
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 5: the Dodgers. How listen, they do everything the right way.

749
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 5: Why are you hating on them? You want every organization

750
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 5: to be just like that. So it's just a testament

751
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 5: of the people, not just the players, the character of

752
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 5: the people that they go out and get to make

753
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 5: sure we get the right people in place. And that's

754
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 5: why guys want to come and play for the Dodgers.

755
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,359
Speaker 1: All right, Before I let you go, I gotta get

756
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: this out of the way. Brad Paisley continues to call

757
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: me and text me and say, Jerry Harriston is our treasure.

758
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: I completely disagree with him. I feel like he does

759
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: that to upset me. But Brad Paisley really is entertained

760
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: by you and Nomar and how you try to, you know,

761
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: get to Nomar's level, and Nomar seems to brush you off.

762
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: Can you set the record straight and just give a

763
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: shout out to Brad Well?

764
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 5: First of all, Brad Paisley is one of the best entertainers,

765
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 5: not just country musicians, best entertainers there is on the planet.

766
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 5: I love his commercials as well with Peyton Manning. We

767
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 5: all know he's a huge Dodger fan, and he brought

768
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 5: the house down when he sung the national anthem at

769
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 5: Dodgers Stadium once again.

770
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 3: Listen.

771
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 5: He is has become a really good friend, and I

772
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 5: do agree with him on Nomar. I agree with him

773
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 5: on Nomar listen anytime, you know, being obviously it's not

774
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,839

775
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 5: here in La we get so many entertainers with us, musicians, actors,

776
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: actresses that watch us because they see the Dodgers and

777
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 5: we're on before and after. And I'm extremely humbled to

00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 5: the same common interest, and that's the Dodgers.

783
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 3: How fortunate are we?

784
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: Can you take us behind the scenes? Do you think

785
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: Nomar likes you?

786
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 3: I know Nomar loves me. I hate Listen.

Speaker 5: I'm gonna say something here. I may get no More

788
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,320

00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,879
Speaker 5: to dinner tomorrow night. Who So that's how me and Nomar.

790
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 5: We've been friends for decades. I know we kind of

791
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 5: play a little bit because we have a lot of

792
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,520

00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 5: with Nomar when we played against each other when he's

794

Speaker 5: the Red Sox and I was with the Baltimore Orioles.

795
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,000

796
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 5: players I've ever played against, and he should be in

797

00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 1: days of TV together here at the Sports and at

826
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: LA Studios during the winter meetings. I'm sure guys like

829
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: LA and had a great time in this cushy studio

830
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: and was able to really be productive back here in LA,

831
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: not just hanging out with other baseball people out there

832
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: in Orlando. So I mean, who could pass up three

833
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: straight days with Jerry Harriston Junior. You tell me that

834
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: was the big win for me. All right. Our next

835
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,439
Speaker 1: show will be on Friday night, seven o'clock, another Dodger Talk.

836
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: We'll see whether or not the Edwin d As deal

837
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: is official by then. If it is, who knows, Timmy

838
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: Trumpet himself may join us on Friday night. We'll keep

839
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: track of whether or not the Tigers are really considering

840
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: trading Tarrek Schuble. Seems like they're asking a lot. Like

841
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: I said before, we got to Ethier and Jerry Harriston Junior.

842
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: From what I hear, the Tigers are asking for as

843
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: much as the Nationals got in return from the Padres

844
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: for two years of control of Juan Soto. Trek schoubl

845
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: the greatest pitcher right now in baseball, but a one

846
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: year rental and a Scott Boris client. He will be

847
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 1: going to free agency, so no matter where he goes,

848
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: he's a one year rental. And the Tigers are asking

849
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: for as much as the Nationals got for two years

850
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 1: of Juan Soto. That's gonna be hard to get from

851
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: any team. All right, that'll do it for us tonight

852
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,479
Speaker 1: on Dodger Talk. In case you missed any of the show,
