1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: I still personally don't believe Kyle Tucker is necessarily the answer, 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: but I would be willing to change my opinion on that. 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: If it is this sort of structured deal. 4 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Hell up, everybody, and welcome to a live, brand new 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: edition of your favorite podcast, Dodgers Territory.

I'll 11 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 3: just say this when we're talking about like the show 12 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 3: and what we're going to talk about, and guys, i'll 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: remind you please do subscribe to the show. We're trying 14 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: to get the fifteen thousand subscribers. You can help us 15 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: get there before the start of the new year, or sorry, 16 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 3: before the start of spring training. That's the one you 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 3: already messed up on. The New year one. But remember 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: when moves used to happen in the off season. 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: Do I remember those days? 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: It seems like it was so it was still not 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: even twenty twenty five. It was like so twenty twenty 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: four when stuff would happen. It's been eighty four years, 23 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: to take quote from the Titanic. But Clint, as you 24 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: know better than anybody as the producer of the show, 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: we do have things to talk about in the big 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: ticket let's. 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: Do it stuff and things. Still not a whole lot 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 3: going on, Guys going on the Dodgers. You know, I'm waiting. 29 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: I think Andrew Friedman maybe he's focused on his Lakers job. 30 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure things are cooking in the background. We do 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: have some hot stove rumors today thanks to your friend 32 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 3: and less so mine, mostly because I don't know him 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: that well. I know him enough. But kat Rosenthal, he's 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: set to work on helping us have some content. Riz 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 3: and I'm sure you saw this. He dropped a column 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: today this morning in the Athletic pend Also I believe 37 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: with Will Salmon. But it seems like things are heating 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 3: up a little bit. Apparently maybe the Dodgers aren't quite 39 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 3: out on the Kyle Tucker of free agency and all that. 40 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: Here's what Ken had to say about that before we 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: dive into it. Tucker on a four year deal with 42 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: opt outs and a massive AAV would be a classic 43 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: Freedman edition still sounds like a long shot. We've talked 44 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: a lot about Kyle Tucker. We've talked a lot about 45 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: this team needing one more bat. Maybe it's the outfield, 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: maybe it's second base. What do you think about the 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: latest with Kyle Tucker? And I mean, I'm checking. It 48 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: is now five days into the new year and he 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: still doesn't have a job. 50 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but you know, I don't think these 51 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: guys are worried about it, because remember Alex Bregman signed 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: super late. 53 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: A lot of these guys sign really late. 54 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: It is January fifth, by the way, Happy birthday to 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: my dad today on January fifth. 56 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: This is my situation. 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: So on December thirty, first Clint, the last day of 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, MLB dot Com said that there is 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: one question each team needs to address prior to spring training, 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: and their thought for the Dodgers was the outfield. 61 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: I agree with that. 62 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest question mark right now that 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the Dodgers still have to address. 64 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 2: Is the outfield. 65 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: I still personally don't believe Kyle Tucker is necessarily the answer, 66 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: but I would be. 67 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: Willing to change my opinion on that if it is 68 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: this sort of structured deal right. 69 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to give Kyle Tucker a nine year, 70 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: ten year deal for four hundred million dollars. But if 71 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: what Ken is saying is a possibility, I could understand perhaps. 72 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: A four year deal with the pretty. 73 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: High AAV right, the annual average value of a deal. 74 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: That being said, I still don't think that we need 75 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: to spend that kind of money on another outfielder when 76 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: there's other ways to get outfielders that are not going 77 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: to cost as much. Again, Dodgers have the money. Is 78 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker the right fit in LA? I'm not so 79 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: certain about that. I kind of liked what you and 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: I were talking about the other day on Dodger's Territory 81 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: that we're saying, listen, for our New Year's resolution, we're 82 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: gonna need Taoscar Hernandez to admit that left field is 83 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: probably a better spot for him. Right, then you have 84 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: Andy Pie hasn't right, and then you move Tommy Edmund 85 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: to center field, or you figure something out with that. 86 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Here's something that I'm thinking about too, and they were 87 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: talking about it on Fowl's Territory. I'm not certain that 88 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays are out on Tucker just because 89 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: you know, they've made some serious moves already. 90 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: They're saying that they can't do Tucker and. 91 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Bregman or but they can do Bushett and Tucker or 92 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: Bushett and Bregman, but they can't do all three of 93 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: those guys, right, So I would love it still if 94 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: we did what we just said with our outfield and 95 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: got a Bo Baschett type of type of peace by 96 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,119 Speaker 1: the name of bobaschet. 97 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is the ultimate Bobachett type of piece. Yeah, 98 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 3: let's we'll talk more Boba shed a little bit later, because, 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, Toronto did make a splash last week 100 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: with the signing of what is it Okamoto A KAMOTOI 101 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: I forget his name. Well, we'll dive into that a 102 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: little bit later. But on the Kyle Tucker stuff, to 103 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: sort of button this up in a way or not 104 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: really button it up. Did the Dodgers need Kyle Tucker? No, 105 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: could they use him? Absolutely, they need an outfielder or 106 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: they need a second basement. And we've talked a whole 107 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 3: bunch about this. You get a two B and you 108 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: kick Tommy Edmund out to the outfield, whether that is 109 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 3: center field, or it's left field, and you know, if 110 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 3: it is left field, that means you're really buying in 111 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: on Andy Poez being your answer in center field, which 112 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 3: I don't hate. He figured out a lot of stuff 113 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 3: last year, did Poz. Kyle Tucker absolutely fits because he 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 3: is a good bet back to baseball kind of dude. 115 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: That's what this team needs, a very clearly have an opening. 116 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: I wouldn't say a hole, but an opening in the outfield. 117 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 3: There is a qualifying offer attached to Tucker, and Dodgers 118 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: already lost a draft pick with the signing of Edwin Diaz. 119 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: I do wonder if that could be an issue for 120 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 3: the front office, you know, essentially losing what two or 121 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: three I think it would be. Yeah, you're losing a lot. 122 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: They find their way to backfill the farm system through 123 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: trades and all this kind of stuff. I'm not so 124 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: worried about losing draft picks, but when we're talking about Tucker, yes, 125 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 3: that would be like a cool to have. I don't 126 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: even know if I'd go as far as it good 127 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 3: to have a nice to have for sure, but I 128 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 3: don't think they need to have Kyle Tucker. I agree, 129 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: and we will talk more Boshette in the second half 130 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: of the show. There was one more thing before we 131 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: get into that and kind of reiterating or three iterating 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: or five iterating our love for bo Baschett on the Dodgers. 133 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 3: Another one of the things mentioned and Ken's article was 134 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta. I don't know where Reddy Parolta trade rumors 135 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: and we were kind of clowning on Milwaukee when literally 136 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 3: seconds after the Dodgers, you know, bounce them in the playoffs, 137 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: it goes to, oh, they could be trading Freddy Peralta 138 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: this winter. 139 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: Immediately like they didn't even wait until the last hotur 140 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: was recorded. 141 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: We might, we might move him. 142 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: Insane, absolutely insane. That is how you win a fan 143 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: base there, and that is that is how you ruin baseball. 144 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: But anyways, he's another one of the names that that 145 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: Ken has mentioned. Ken and Will Salmon in that Athletic 146 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 3: article Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Braves, red Sox having shown interest 147 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: in trading for Freddy Peralta. This is kind of immediately 148 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 3: an incendiary topic when you're you post Freddy Peralta and 149 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: Dodgers on the internet. Uh, obviously he's he's a phenomenal 150 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 3: pitcher Freddy Parolta. I'll put the stats up. He is 151 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 3: every fifth day Freddy. He is the model of consistency. 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: The dude absolutely has killed it, especially over you know, 153 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: these last five seasons. 154 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: Well, I love that continues to go down, right, I mean, 155 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean he's trending in the right direction. Here's what 156 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: I want to ask you, though, Clint, where does he 157 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: fit in? I mean he's not is he he's your 158 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: genuine fifth starter though, right? 159 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: Fifth or sixth? 160 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: Because you're gonna have a six man rotation if you 161 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: are the Los Angeles Daughters, because two of your pitchers 162 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: are Japanese born and that's what they want to do. 163 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: And that's fine. But what does this mean is Roki 164 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: Sasaki not make the starting rotation? Is it Forreddy Peralta? 165 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki? Is it Freddy Peralta? Emmit Shean and Rokie 166 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: Sasaki goes to the bullpen because he's not better than 167 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Blake SNeW. He's not better than Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He's not 168 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: better than Tyler Glas. Now he's you know what I'm saying, like, 169 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: he's not better than that. He's obviously not better than Altani. 170 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: So Is he your fifth, is he your sixth? 171 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 3: Well, I mean definitely, he would be the best, absolutely 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: the best fifth starter in baseball. You could argue Peralta's 173 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: maybe in that same conversation, the same category as as 174 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: Kyler Glass. Now the top three dudes. Absolutely not when 175 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: you're talking about Yamamoto, Otani and Snell, they are a 176 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 3: step above. And that's no indictment on Freddy Peralta, a great, 177 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: great pitcher. But yeah, this would be the best fifth 178 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: starter in baseball. Dodgers already have a bunch of really, really, 179 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: really strong candidates for that fifth starter spot. Also for 180 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 3: that sixth starter spot. You know they're gonna have Roki 181 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: Sasaki in the starting rotation at least to start spring training, 182 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: at least to start the season. You don't make an 183 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: investment in the kid without giving him an opportunity to 184 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: figure out how to be a starter. But you have Himachen, 185 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 3: you have Gavin Stone coming back from surgery, River Ryan 186 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 3: coming back from surgery, Kyle Hurt. We've talked about all 187 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 3: these names. He is around, He's more likely to be 188 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: in the bullpen, but he is somebody who's still likely 189 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: going to be building up as a starter. At the 190 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: starter spring training because that's kind of what you do. 191 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 3: I saw in the chat, by the way, who was it. 192 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 3: I think it was Maddie Man five Dodgs. We're gonna 193 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 3: have a ten man rotation? Yeah, I mean the Dodgers 194 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 3: kind of could. 195 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: I remember when we thought that two years ago, and 196 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: that's where, oh god, now what everyone's hurt. Every single 197 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: person was on the I l thank god the bullpen 198 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: stepped up when they did. So you never have enough pitching, 199 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: You just don't. 200 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: I know. 201 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like remember last year when we thought we 202 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: had the most amazing bullpen in the world in spring 203 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: training and then it imploded. So you can never have 204 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: you can never have enough enough starting pitching. 205 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: A funny way about it, what do you give up. 206 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 2: For Freddy Perlta, What do you think Milwaukee's want? 207 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 3: Well, they're definitely gonna want uh more starting pitching back, young, controllable, 208 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: starting pitching cough cough, Immachian the same way we've had 209 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: the the trek Scooble kind of references and rumors and 210 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: all this kind of stuff. Uh, it starts at an Amachian. 211 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: You trade from an area of depth, and it's probably 212 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: one of the outfield prospects, I don't know. I mean, 213 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: these are the assets the Dodgers have. Alex Friedlan's another 214 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: one of the dud who's on the forty man roster 215 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 3: who is kind of ready to get some consistent playing 216 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 3: time at the big league level. Could be you know, 217 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: random pieces like that. Freddy Parolta is a free agent 218 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 3: at the end of the season, so you can't get 219 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: as much for him. But I don't know. Like again, 220 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: I love Freddy Parolta. The dude is a beast, however, 221 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 3: and that's how extremely consistent. But I'm I don't know. 222 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 3: I would really love to see, oh no, the fifth 223 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 3: starter being Emma Chian or Gavin Stone or even Roki Sasaki. 224 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: I would like to see, you know, those three dudes 225 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: in that competition for the fifth and sixth spot. I'd 226 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: like to see how it shakes out. River Ryan in 227 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: the mix as well. Dude is nasty, Like we talked 228 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: about in the New Year's Show, the dude is absolutely nasty. 229 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 3: These guys need an opportunity to pitch for the Dodgers 230 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: at the big league level, and you already have so 231 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 3: much starting pitching. Yes, they get hurt starting pitching is 232 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 3: fickle and all that kind of stuff. But at some 233 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 3: point you need to see what you have in house. 234 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 3: You know, we we have Freddy Perolta at home. Is 235 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: as Mom used to say, rest and she never said 236 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 3: that once. But I don't know saying if if you're 237 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 3: adding a starting pitcher, it's Trek schouble or stick with 238 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 3: what you got in the house. 239 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, trek'scoogel or yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, 240 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm okay. I mean I would would I'd love to 241 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: have Freddy per Alta in a Dodgery uniform, of course, 242 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: But do we absolutely need Freddy Peralta. No, based on 243 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: the four that we already have and the fifth and 244 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the sixth that again, let's prove what. Let's see what 245 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: these guys can do in terms of that. I think 246 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: our outfield need is greater than our fifth and sixth 247 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: rotation need. 248 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 2: But what do I know. 249 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: I don't think we need Kyle Tucker. That's all I'm 250 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: saying right now. All right, So that is that. But 251 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: there are some rumors out there, and we're talking about 252 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, Clint. I know it's not in our division. 253 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: I know it's not in our league, but the Blue 254 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: Jays are going for it. 255 00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. 256 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: Remember has it? The Blue Jays are ruining baseball. 257 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: Honest to goodness. 258 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: A couple of months removed from being an inch away, 259 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: a spike away, if you will. 260 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: It's just a little little bitty guy. 261 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: From winning the World Series over our Los Angeles Dodgers. 262 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: They continue to reload for another run at it. Good 263 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: for them, Good for them, Clint for going after it, 264 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: spending the money, making some moves, obviously locking up Vladimir 265 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: career junior forever, making some key moves. 266 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 2: I like it. 267 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: I like what the Blue Jays are doing. Good for them. 268 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: We're so used to it being the Dodgers and the 269 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: Yankees to a certain extent. Obviously every team can do it. 270 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays are going after it. And I can 271 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: appreciate that they signed Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto to a 272 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: multi year deal. It's four years, sixty million dollars. Jeff 273 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: Passing reporting this a couple of days ago, so there 274 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: you have it. And he's a third baseman, so good 275 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: for them, good for them. 276 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 2: What do you make the ball lists? 277 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously, to pull on that thread a 278 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: little bit more of of the Blue Jays running baseball. 279 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 3: They had already signed Dylan Ceese earlier this offseason, gave 280 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: him a bunch of money in the market. Still, even 281 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: after the Akamoto Okamoto signing in the market, like you 282 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 3: were mentioning earlier, maybe still for Bashett Tucker, maybe Bregman 283 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 3: is in there. But does this move does them? Does 284 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: Toronto signing a Kamoto Okamoto? I'll get it right one 285 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: of these days, is that effect a reunion with Bobaschett, 286 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 3: because you got I'm assuming the guy they just signed 287 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 3: is going to play third base because he's played third 288 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 3: in Japan, He's played first. They got a dude locked 289 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: up at first, as you mentioned, Vlad Guerrero is pretty 290 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: damn good at playing baseball. Ernie Clement was playing third 291 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: base for them in the postseason. He moves over to 292 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: second base. He also got Addison Barger around, even though 293 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 3: he's played I think mostly the outfield, Andres Amenez played 294 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 3: a really, really good shortstop for them. Things would look 295 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: better line wise absolutely with Bobashett in their lineup, but 296 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 3: it's certainly not a bad look with Toronto with what 297 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: they already have. Following that edition of Okamoto. Does that 298 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: mean Bashett is in play for the Dodgers? 299 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Now, that's just that's the good question, right, because I 300 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 1: think the signing of Kazuma Okamoto kind of closes the 301 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: door more on Bob Bashett because of the aforementioned players 302 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: that you said that could be moved around the diamond. 303 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: We know first base is lockdown, right, but he is 304 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: willing bobachhett Is to play second, okay, so he doesn't 305 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: have to go to a team and play short, right. 306 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: So I think it closes the door more on Bashett 307 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: the Okomotive signing does than it does on Kyle Tucker. 308 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: They're not gonna sign Tucker and Bashett. They're not gonna 309 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: sign Tucker and Bregman. So I have a feeling that 310 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: the door for Toronto and a Bobashett reunion is closing, 311 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: which means that it opens it up more for La 312 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: than it did before they signed him. 313 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's worth noting John Hayman last week had had 314 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: said the Dodgers had checked in on Bobaschet's market, also 315 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 3: mentioned Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies Cubs in the mix. So 316 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like maybe this is just 317 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 3: my my Dodgers tinted glasses on this, but it feels 318 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: like like pieces are falling in place for the Dodgers 319 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: to kind of do. We entered the offseason with that 320 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: thing in our brain that they have a clear need 321 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: in the outfield. Second base was bad for this team 322 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 3: last year. They hit a combined two thirty nine ops 323 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: under seven hundred or yeah, well under seven hundred. They 324 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: just were not good. Tommy Edmund led the charge there, 325 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 3: hitting two forty nine as a second basement in his 326 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: games where we played there last year. I think, yeah, 327 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 3: you want an outfeel that maybe you fix that with 328 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 3: Edmund going out there. You also have some other options 329 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: still in house with Alt call given Ryan Ward an opportunity, 330 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 3: But second base is not as easily fixed in house 331 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: in my opinion for the Dodgers. Before we dive into that, though, 332 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 3: look at we mentioned. I mentioned what five teams Red Sox, Cubs, Yankees, Phillies. 333 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: That's forum good at math Boston. You've you've covered this team, 334 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 3: You followed the Red Sox as well, you live right 335 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 3: next door to them. 336 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: Uh. 337 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 3: They seem to have some options that could play second base. 338 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: They already have a shortstop locked into place. With with 339 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 3: Trevor Story. 340 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: They do Trevor Story option back to his contract, which 341 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised to you. The biggest thing for the 342 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox is they have no answer at first base, 343 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: and a lot is going to depend on what they 344 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: do there with if they're going to get right, if 345 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: they don't, if. 346 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 3: They play Wilson Contreres there, obviously they made that addition. 347 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: If you can, that's an option for sure. That's an 348 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: option for sure. He can also catch, which is good 349 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: because Connor Wong is not the answer for a backup 350 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: catcher for the bought for anybody, but for the Boston 351 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: Red Sox, and a lot depends on what happens with 352 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 1: Bregman at third Tristan Cassis is not the answer at first, 353 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 1: which is part of the reason that they brought in 354 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras. Obviously, they've lost out on Kyle Schwarber, they 355 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 1: lost out on Pete Alonzo, and the Boston Red Sox 356 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: just don't seem to want to spend any money right now. 357 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: They're doing enough to keep the team engaged, but they're 358 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: not doing enough to really improve the team more than 359 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: they were last year. They you know, they signed Sunny Gray, 360 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: which is fine, but they're not gonna have Lucas Giolibo back. 361 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: So basically they have Garrett Crochet as their ace. You 362 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: have Sonny Gray as your number two. I mean that's 363 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that. And then 364 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 1: you have obviously Brian Beao who's still on, you know, 365 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: who's still up and coming but still needs to take 366 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: it into another year. 367 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: You have Peyton Tolly who's very young. 368 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: You don't They don't have a great starting rotation, not 369 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: to mention they need another bat. 370 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: In that lineup. 371 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: So the Boston Red Sox have more holes than they 372 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: have answers for right now. They keep talking about Jared 373 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: Durant in trade congress stations, even though they signed him 374 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: to a one year extension. 375 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: You know, is he going to be there? 376 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: They have a plethora of outfielders. They have a lot 377 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: of outfielders, which one of those outfielders is Jared Durant? 378 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: Is it sayedan Raphael? Is it? Will You're or bray you? 379 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: Who are they going to move? You know, I don't know. 380 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: The Red Sox have a lot of question marks and 381 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: they don't have a They don't have an ownership group 382 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: that's willing to spend, Like like the Los Angeles Dodgers. 383 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 3: Layela has played some second base for them. He's played 384 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 3: at also the league level. Could be an option there 385 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: if we're looking at second base, and I guess I 386 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 3: sort of I sort of envisioned Boshett as like a 387 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 3: second baseman. I don't know that any team is willing 388 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: to sign him, and that would be great. 389 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: For Boston, right because if you have Trevor, if you 390 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,959 Speaker 1: have Trevor at short and then you have Bobashett playing second. 391 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna do with Marcelo Meyer though, 392 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: I mean he's got I mean, they think very highly 393 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: of this kid. So are you going to have him 394 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: play second? Or are you going to have him get 395 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: six hundred abs in the minor leagues? Because obviously Roman 396 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: Anthony is there to stay forever. He's just trying to 397 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: your deal. 398 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 3: I want that kind of money he has. 399 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 2: He has like the best flow in the show too. 400 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: He's like no more two point obviously not the same position, 401 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: but just the whole aura about. 402 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 3: I agree with you have. 403 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: A ship ton of holes, but they also have a 404 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: lot of outfielders. That man, you want a great defensive outfielder, 405 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: go hard after Staten rafaela wow wow, and he can 406 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: get anyway, That's not the point. 407 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 3: A lot of this. 408 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: Isn't Monsta territory. 409 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: We'll leave that up for Robbie Hide to discuss the 410 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: state and the fate of the Boston Red Sox. 411 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 3: How about this one here, Brian says they should sign 412 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger for first base. How upset would Yankees fans be? 413 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 2: They could? They could, but he doesn't play as well. 414 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: I mean that park doesn't lend itself as well to 415 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: Belly as the Bronx does right right, as he ages 416 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: all the things. Yeah, I don't know, Yeah, I mean 417 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: the Red Sox. I see Belly going to New York 418 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: the Mets, not back to the Yankees. I think you'd 419 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: be a perfect fit for him to go to the 420 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: Mets play first base, because obviously Pete Alonzo isn't there anymore, 421 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: and they have the money to do it. They just 422 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: unloaded everybody, so they certainly have the money to do 423 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: it anyway. 424 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 3: So anyways, back to the matter at hand. Here Boshett 425 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 3: mentioning these spots, John Hayman mentioning all these landing spots, 426 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: I agree, Boston has too many issues that one Bo 427 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: Boshett is not going to fix. So let's look at 428 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 3: the Cubs. Cubs have a second baseman, Nico Horner. End 429 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 3: of conversation. They also have a shortstop in Dansby Swanson, 430 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: whose name escaped me there for a second. It's not 431 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: gonna happen there. The Yankees mentioned in there everybody's favorite 432 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 3: jazz Chisholm, stay off the internet, bro. Anyways, he's there 433 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 3: at second base for at least one more season. Yanks 434 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,399 Speaker 3: could absolutely use somebody. I mean, if they decide to 435 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 3: move off of Anthony Volpi, which you know, they. 436 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: Could put jazz back in the outfield if they needed to. 437 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: If they really want wanted to go after bobacht. 438 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 3: Nah, he could, he could. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely 439 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: an option. But Bobachhet would be nice for them, But 440 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't We'll leave also, we'll leave 441 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: that to Pinstripe territory. Guys. You know, I was intrigued 442 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 3: by the Phillies being they they're most recently linked to 443 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 3: UH to Boushett, and they much like the Red Sox, 444 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 3: they have some some holes, some question marks. You don't 445 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: know if like Alec Bohm is going to be their 446 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: long term answer at third base, I think they could 447 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 3: definitely use an improvement at second base over Bryson Stott. 448 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: You know, Trey Turner is locked in with that massive 449 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 3: what was eleven year deal? Thirteen years whatever it is. 450 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: You kind of don't know who's going to be in 451 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 3: left field or center field. I think they kind of 452 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: want to move on from the walls. 453 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: What's his face is gone? Matt Strong? No, didn't he 454 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: get booted? 455 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's a reliever, but still yeah he got. 456 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: No, No, No, that's not who I'm thinking of. Brendan 457 00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: Marsh Is he still there? 458 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: I know he's he's still there. They still have him, 459 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 3: they still that's. 460 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: Right, he's the one that got moved. 461 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 3: And Nicholas Cage j Yeah, hear yes. 462 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: How it's getta be much harder now for it's actually 463 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: did he get moved to Washington, Matt, So it's much 464 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: easier for now for him now to steal the Declaration 465 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: of Independence. 466 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: If my soundboard was on right now, Strom go something 467 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 3: in the check. I turned on my soundboard specifically for this, 468 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 3: dusted that one off. So the point of all of 469 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 3: this gang. We'll bring the chat back in as well. 470 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 3: The Dodgers have an open door at second base. And 471 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: you know this if you watch the show over the 472 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, a couple of months now, we 473 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 3: have kind of pivoted, Briz, you and I have pivoted 474 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 3: from the need from the need for for an outfielder 475 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 3: to being in need for a second basement. There is 476 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 3: an absolute need for a bat that is paramount whether 477 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 3: it's in the outfield or in the infield. And that's 478 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: something also Andrew Freeman had mentioned they just needed bat, 479 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 3: didn't necessarily say where. Thankfully they have the flexibility, uh 480 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 3: to to kind of adjust. But with as bad as 481 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,239 Speaker 3: second baseman hit for the Dodgers last year, and the 482 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: state of the infield depth versus the outfield depth where 483 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: again they still have Alex Call, they still have Ryan Ward. 484 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: I kind of dig the idea of adding an infielder, 485 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: whether it is of a shed or every reason be 486 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 3: upset if I say, and Alex Bregman, we've had this 487 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: conversation on my Dodgers territory or sorry, my All Dodgers show. 488 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: It would take four minutes, four minutes for. 489 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: This fan base to get over the fact if Alex 490 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 1: Bregman became you. 491 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 3: Don't like Winnen trying to go back to back to 492 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 3: back bra. 493 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's fine, Oh the Royals, that's who 494 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: it was, damn it. 495 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: But it if it's if it's not going to be 496 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 3: admitted second base, you know, the to focus in on 497 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 3: this and and try to get back on track with 498 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 3: what I had written personally, this is this is for 499 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 3: a me thing. If it's not admitted second base, you 500 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 3: could see Hesseng Kim getting you know, a decent amount 501 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: of reps at the position, and you and I kind 502 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: of we differ a little bit on his potential some 503 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 3: but I think we both agree that you can't enter 504 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 3: the season with him as an everyday second baseman or 505 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: even in a platoon role. You and I were talking 506 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 3: earlier today, and I agree, can't go into that season 507 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 3: trying to go three in a row with anybody in 508 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 3: a platoon. 509 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 2: The thing that's my that's my point exactly. 510 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: The starting opening day roster, forget the roster, the opening 511 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: day starting lineup, Nobody in the eight positions can be 512 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: a platoon player. In my in my estimation, I always 513 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: feel like platoon players need to just come off the bench. 514 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 2: Versatile players, the utility guys. Those are your bench guys. 515 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: Those are the guys that you need when you're every 516 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: day starting guy is run out, there needs a blow. 517 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: That's it. I don't want I don't want to platoon 518 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: left field. I don't want a platoon. Right, I don't want. 519 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: A platoon you know, second base or whatever. All of 520 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: those positions need to be your everyday starting guy. 521 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: And only when that guy needs a day off is 522 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: when the platoon comes into effect. 523 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're the prodgers. 524 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: You don't need platoon players. You really need You need 525 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: strong bench guys. 526 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: And they have been strongly have been successful over this 527 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: last decade plus with guys like Chris Taylor, with guys 528 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 3: like keithky Hernandez Miguel Rojas types. You know, guys that 529 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: you can plug in for that day. We'll probably end 530 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 3: up playing a lot more than you anticipate because of 531 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 3: injuries and all that kind of stuff. But you win 532 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 3: with good players, living players with good bats. You need 533 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 3: a bat in this lineup, that is, that is for certain. 534 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: We got some love in the chat, by the way, 535 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 3: super Chat appreciate everybody hanging out with us.

But it's Fernando, that's Fernando says, Bo 539 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 3: makes so much sense. You could use him as stopgap, 540 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 3: put him at second Edmund centerfield, and a monthly retire 541 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 3: ship Bo to third Pase and then tanks back to 542 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: second second zire Zire Hope in center field, and in 543 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 3: this scenario that Zaire Hope makes it to the big 544 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 3: league level by that point, absolutely an option I would love. 545 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 3: I would love for Bobaschet to also eventually be the 546 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: future third basement for this team.
