1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: I like what the Dodgers did as part of the

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: three team trade that's out there, and Copac is part

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: of it. You get a power arm. They'll make him

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: better than he was in Chicago. I have no doubt

5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: about that. And Edmund, I'll always been out all year,

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: is a very capable guy.

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, and welcome everybody back to Dodgers' territory live

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: on this Monday afternoon, the last Monday before the Major

9
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: League Baseball trade deadline happens tomorrow night at six pm Eastern.

Speaker 2: We are your hosts, that is Clint. To see us,

00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 2: you being here, Clint. Let's get right to it. Let's

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: get to the big ticket. A lot to talk about. Obviously,

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: I was waiting in our pre production meeting. I'm like,

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: come on, are we going to make a move? And literally,

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: not even twenty minutes later, we found out it looks

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: like Michael Kopek and Tommy Edmond are coming over to

20
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers. What do you make of the

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: proposed deal Ken Rosenthal of course on fair territory and

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: foul territory fan a three trade team or three team

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: trade rather, in which the Cardinals would acquire Eric Fetty

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: from the White Sox, the Dodgers would acquire Tommy Edmund,

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: and White Sox would acquire prospects and close is closed,

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: sources tell me and Katie Wu. But there's also a

27
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,639
Speaker 2: rumor or a proposed trade. I guess that that Michael

28
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: Kopek is coming to the Dodgers.

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 3: Your take, Yeah, as far as we know, these deals

30
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: are essentially done, you know, pending all of the logistics

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: and the paperwork and the physicals and we'll all you know,

32
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: the pieces that go into it. Also Tommy fam going

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 3: from the White Sox back home to the to the Cardinals.

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: I'm not a massive fan. I'm not a massive fan

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 4: all of that.

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: You know, But also Dodgers fan at my core, so

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: we expect everything, we want everything, we want nineteen all stars.

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: We want to not have to trade any prospects.

39
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: But Tommy Edmund, I mean we've talked about it like

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: kind of off and on here on the show. I

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: don't I didn't want to see the team go out

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: and get somebody that I wanted to turn key guy.

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: This guy is somebody who hasn't played all season long. Yes,

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: I understand a lot of people really love what Tommy

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: Edmund brings at the table, but he's somebody who's been hurt.

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: He's had the wrist injury turned into an ankle injury

47
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: while he was on rehab. But all that aside, let's

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: try to make it positive. He does help fill some

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: holes for this team has a lot of positional versatility,

50
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: and I wonder if this is somebody with they're looking at,

51
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: you know, to fill the third base void, knowing or

52
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: presuming that Max Munty does come does not come back

53
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: this year, or if he's somebody who's going to slot

54
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: into center field where this team very clearly needs help.

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: Because as much as I love the kid Andy pa

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: Has is not a center fielder. I don't know where

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: he quite slots in best on it as a defender,

58
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 3: but he's not a center fielder.

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: So I wonder if that's gonna be the Edmund spot Kopek.

60
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: You know, let's talk Edmund before we talk Copek, because

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Kopek is another guy I'm not super duper high on,

62
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: but Alana, give me your your Tommy Edmund thoughts.

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 2: Cera about Tommy Edmund, the question that arises, I think

64
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: it's more questions and answers as far as that concern.

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: My question to this whole acquisition is how bad is

66
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor as far as the groin injury is concerned,

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: and is this a move because we don't think Max

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: Munsey is going to return at all this season. Dave

69
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: Roberts had said that kind of the progress of Max

70
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: Munsey was stagnant. He's not close to returning to the

71
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: big league field anytime soon. Chris Taylor is on the IL,

72
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: Niggi Rojas is on the IL all of these infield situations,

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: so perhaps they're thinking, okay, I mean, the Dodgers do

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: have a reputation of turning guys into other forms of

75
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: themselves that they've not been in years past or with

76
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: other teams. They have a way of setting guys up

77
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: for success. Am I saying that he's a gold glove infielder. No,

78
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 2: but does he feel somewhat of avoid Yes. Maybe they're

79
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: concerned about the lack of production for Keiy k Hernandez,

80
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: so they're bringing in Tommy Edmund we don't know how long.

81
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: Chris Taylor, like obliques and hamstrings, groins are tricky, so

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: I see that as part of why Tommy Edmund was

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: the acquisition. I'm actually excited about Michael Kopek, and I

84
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: tell you why. It doesn't come with the same sort

85
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: of price tag. Perhaps as an Eric Fetti and certainly

86
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: not as a Garrett Crochet. But I do think when

87
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: you're pitching for a team like the Chicago White Sox

88
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: that's basically eliminated in May, you don't really it's hard

89
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: to get up for every single game. You immediately go

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: from a pretender to a contender. And Edmund and Kopik

91
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 2: is a nice little appetizer for Freedman and the Dodgers,

92
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: not the main course, but a solid starter. I absolutely

93
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: agree with Jeff there. I do think that Kopik will

94
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to kind of reinvent himself and again

95
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: slide into a rotation that is full of experience, below

96
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: average trade in my opinion. Terry has All says.

97
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: I get Kopek's been relieving all seasons, so I think

98
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: this is something where they're trying to look to maybe

99
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: this is going to be the guy that's kind of

100
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: Ryan Yarborough insurance because yards has he struggled.

101
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,559
Speaker 4: He struggled mightily over the last couple of months.

102
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: The bullpen has gone kind of south as they've been

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: overworked because the rotation has been rough. But Kopek is

104
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 3: going to be in that bullpen. We've seen Evan Phillips

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: struggling a good mount amount since coming back from the injury,

106
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: so I wonder if you know, yeah, he throws it

107
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: with a lot of velocity, but all of the numbers.

108
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: Some people will say he's been better of late. I'm

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: not enthralled, not super excited about uh you know, oh

110
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: this is if this is the move, it's another massive

111
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: f of a trade deadline for the Dodgers, who I

112
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: don't think.

113
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they're done. I think they're done and

114
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 2: done again. I get that Kopek is a good bullpen piece.

115
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Who knows, I mean, you can't is he? I haven't watched.

116
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what what copex bullpen usage is. Sorry,

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: I don't have all of the numbers for the wise,

118
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: but could he could he give you a little bit

119
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: of innings? I mean, can he eat up innings? Or

120
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: is he like is he a one inning guy. I

121
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: don't know, But I don't think Andrew Friedman's done. I

122
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: really don't. And yes, I know that you wanted Esach

123
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: Parades as a third baseman. I know everybody thought that

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 2: they wanted Randy or Rosa Rena. But course you know

125
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: he's with the Mariners now, and give credit to the

126
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: Mariners for that. I have full faith and confidence that

127
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 2: the Dodgers are gonna get somebody. They have to get

128
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 2: a frontline starter, correct, I mean, I really, I really

129
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 2: do think that that's an absolute need for this club.

130
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: And I don't think that they're done yet. Now the

131
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: problem is who who else is out there? And we're

132
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: going to talk to Steve Phillips coming on here in moments.

133
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: He does a great job. He's an MLB Network frequent contributor.

134
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: He's the host of the leadoff spot on MLB Network Radio.

135
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: He's a former GM I mean, he has a great

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: perspective on what's going on right now. So we'll absolutely

137
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: ask Steve in just a moment when he get him

138
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: on the show. But all right, so you're not super psyched,

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 2: so the left is out there that you want what

140
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: would make Clint p c is happy right now with

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 2: the remaining players that would be available via trade to

142
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: come to LA.

143
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, obviously you want Arrek Schoogle, you want

144
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 3: no one anywhere school.

145
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Is not going to get moved.

146
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: Both of those guys, I think, and that's something I'm

147
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 3: really looking forward to asking Steve Phillips about in a

148
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: second the latest with the Crochet thing, because I think

149
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 3: that that news that Crochet doesn't want to pitch in

150
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: the postseason unless he gets that extension. I don't think

151
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: I think that immediately took the Dodgers out of the running.

152
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: Jack Flaherty's another one. We're kind of seeing maybe some

153
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: people who are slightly less than no they're starting to

154
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: talk about Jack Flaherty, And I think that's your insurance

155
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: knowing that maybe Walker Buehler doesn't ever come back and

156
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: become the guy we expected. Maybe Bobby Miller just fell

157
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: flat on his face this year. On Bobby Miller, the

158
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: thing I like I would maybe have preferred this team

159
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: kind of explore is maybe Bobby Miller is a better

160
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: one inning relief guy. Something I've been I've kind of

161
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: wondered for years with b Mill, if he's that guy

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: and he could have been somebody who can get you

163
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: that one hundred miles an hour out of the bullpen,

164
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 3: something that Coppet can do.

165
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: But I don't know. I really don't know who's out there.

166
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: Is now the time to find out if Bobby Miller

167
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: could go from a starter role to a really I

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: don't know. But by the way, Kopik, to your point,

169
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: A one inning guy this season forty three games, forty

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: three and two thirds innings pitched. So he's a one

171
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: inning guy. You're right, So he's a you know, maybe

172
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: he's a good boost for that bullpen. I apologize, we

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: still need Yes, Snell would be interesting, no kidding, Taco gang.

174
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: Would you take Blake? I would take Snell, But let

175
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: me tell you something. You just saw what he said

176
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: the other day after his outing that you know, if

177
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: they keep winning, he's not going anywhere. So you know,

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't think Blake Snell is sure. Would I take

179
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: him for a half season rental? For sure? But do

180
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: I think Blake Snell's going to be a Dodger? I

181
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 2: do not.

182
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, where are the Giants at right now? I've got

183
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 3: to look up where they're at. I know they're not

184
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: really in the hunt. But if they're able to get

185
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: something from you know, for Snell. At this point, I

186
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: just do not envision the Giants trading him back to

187
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: the Padres or the giants of the Dodgers trading him

188
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: to the Dodgers.

189
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: There, but they're not going to help us.

190
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 4: They absolutely not.

191
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 3: Looking through the chat here, by the way, people not

192
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: enthralled at all so far with this trade deadline, with

193
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: these moves. Of course, the Dodgers the one of the

194
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: big game names we wanted, Randy a Rosarena, He all

195
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: of a sudden goes to the Mariners the Cubs. I'm

196
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 3: very curious to know what the hell the Cubs are

197
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: doing because they go and pick up essac parades.

198
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: But they're also maybe going to be trading some pieces.

199
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: We'll talk about that.

200
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: A little bit more with Steve Phillips, our friend here

201
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: in the chat Monster, he says Flarerity has to come home,

202
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: Jack Flaherty, Is that somebody that could entice you in

203
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: Dodger Blue?

204
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he does come home again. I'll stick

205
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 2: to the same thing I said about a change of scenery.

206
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: I think he would be really good in that Dodgers' rotation.

207
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean He's not going anywhere with the Tigers. The

208
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: Tigers are not going anywhere. They're not going to trade

209
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: Trek's school. They would be absolutely stupid to do. It

210
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: would be and they'd have to trade Chavez Ravine to

211
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: get Errek Schouble. And I don't think that's a good idea.

212
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: I mean, the amount that that Terrek Schooble is going

213
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: to warrant is silly. But Jack Flaherty, I could see

214
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 2: him in the picture again. I think is he an ace?

215
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: No?

216
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: But he is? Is he a solid arm? I mean,

217
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: is he better than James Paxton at this point? Yeah?

218
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: I think so. So I wouldn't mind seeing Flaherty in

219
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: the Dodgers' rotation. I just don't know who else is

220
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: out there that is going to make a splash. Again,

221
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: Like I said, I don't believe that Andrew Friedman is done.

222
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: I just think this is a very very weak trade class.

223
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of There's not an impact player

224
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: other than Trek School. And it's hard to say that

225
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: a guy that starts every fifth day can be a

226
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: real legitimate impact player, much like a you know, like

227
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: a position player could be in the lineup every single day.

228
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: But It's just there's not a lot to choose from, right.

229
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I know you said, Garrett Curshet, I get it.

230
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: But he's made it very clear that he's not going

231
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: to come to a team without an extension, and he

232
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: you know, he's not going to risk his own health

233
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: for it. And you know, okay, I can understand that

234
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: you got to protect yourself. But there's not a lot

235
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: out there.

236
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 4: There really isn't.

237
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: By the way, I like this comment, though, if we

238
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: are going to spin positive, we'll get to Nando in

239
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 3: just a second. Graham Farmer in the chat said that

240
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: does raise the floor. This aptly does raise the flour,

241
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 3: because say everybody does come back and they're healthy. Tommy Edmund,

242
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 3: his best quality is that he's not Cavin Bigio on

243
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: the Dodgers active roster. He's not Nick Ahmed who Ahmed

244
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: for you know, being a kind of dude that was,

245
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 3: you know, called off the couch to come play shortstop

246
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers. He's done very well, you know, Gold

247
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: Glove Award winner at shortstop and all of that. But

248
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: Nando three ninety how could they have not traded Miguel

249
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: Vargas for Randia Rose Arenas. So let's let's talk about

250
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: the pieces traded away. Of course, Miguel Vargas somebody we've

251
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: talked about. You know, the bat has played nicely, slowed

252
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 3: down a little bit. Maybe we were going to start

253
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 3: seeing some three B for Miggy v. But instead he

254
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 3: has traded to the White Sox. Along with a couple

255
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 3: of intriguing pieces. Was the number sixteen guy, Alexander Albertas

256
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: and the number eighteen guy. These are per Baseball America

257
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: their rankings in the Dodgers farm system. Jerald Perez, who

258
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 3: I think was I'm not mistaken, was a minor league

259
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 3: All Star this year. The name the Dodgers we're gonna

260
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: really miss I think is gonna hurt most is Albertus.

261
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: Albertas is one of those guys, big time bat to

262
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: ball guy, could be a lethal hitter at some point

263
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: in his lifetime. But the Dodgers giving up some big

264
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: pieces there, including Miguel Vargas, and I think there's still

265
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: more pieces obviously to be moved, because the forty man

266
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: roster is kind of a nightmare. But thoughts on what

267
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have given away is it an overpay?

268
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: My thought is that you should create a podcast called

269
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: road to the Show. My man, Clint Pissius is so

270
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: into the farm system and all of the things. I

271
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: think the Dodgers' responsibility, Clint is to win right now.

272
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: You can't go through another season without getting out of

273
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: the first round and without doing whatever you can to

274
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: win right now. And yeah, you know that's the thing

275
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: about building a team, but also not depleting your farm system.

276
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: And I think the Dodgers are one of the few

277
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: organizations that can actually continue every single year to reload

278
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: but also have that depth in their farm season. But

279
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: let's talk on to Steve Phillips, who is so gracious

280
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: to join us today on Dodgers' territory. This man is

281
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 2: incredibly knowledgeable about all things Major League Baseball. Obviously former

282
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: general manager, he is the co host of the leadoff

283
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: spot on MLB Network Radio. He is a frequent contributor

284
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: on MLB Network. Steve, thank you so much for being

285
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: with us. I appreciate you as always. Let's talk about

286
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: the Dodgers specifically. They're not making a splash yet. I

287
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 2: don't believe that they are done. But what goes through

288
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: a general manager's mind at this point if you're Andrew

289
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: Friedman and Brandon Domes.

290
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's hard not to get reactive to

291
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: other deals getting done and feel like, oh boy, oh boy,

292
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: look at another guy off the board. I better make

293
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: a move that You've got to stick to the plan,

294
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: trust the conversation that you have going on, and understand

295
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: that you're not going to win every You know, you're

296
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: not going to close every trade discussion that you have,

297
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: and so there are going to be players that you've

298
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: been in on, that you've made offers on that go

299
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: somewhere else. You can't be emotionally overreactive to that to

300
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: where you start to make an adjustment and think, oh boy,

301
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: I better do something. I'm going to be in trouble here.

302
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: And so you got to stick to the plan and

303
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: continue the conversations. And you know what's surprising is how

304
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: many things pop up late that weren't discussed earlier as

305
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: you get closer to the deadline, and owners sometimes like, well,

306
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: how is this possible? All of a sudden, this comes

307
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. Didn't you do your job, didn't you

308
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: call people? But it is a fluid market and teams

309
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: records over the course of the weekend change the direction.

310
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Looks like the Texas Rangers are sellers now, and you

311
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: know the Giants may be pulling back on Snell after

312
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: they played well, and so you know who knows which

313
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: direction this is going. But I like what the Dodgers

314
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: did as part of the three team trade that's out there,

315
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: and you know, to get Tommy Edmond as part of that,

316
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: and Copeck is part of it.

317
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 5: You get a power arm.

318
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: They'll make him better than he was in Chicago, have

319
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. And Edmund A'll always been out

320
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: all year, is a very capable guy. Can play short,

321
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: can play second, can play the outfield, and gives them

322
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot of versatility and options depending ament when Mookie

323
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: comes back and what are they going to do with it?

324
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 5: Rojas, So, I think it's a good trade.

325
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: And listen, I think in that three team deal, the

326
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: fact that the White Sox gave up kopek Fetti and

327
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: Tommy fam and the deal and all they got back

328
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: were the three prospects, I don't know what they're doing.

329
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 5: And so I thought Saint Louis and the Dodgers made

330
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 5: up bread that deal.

331
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: Steve, I wonder are the Dodgers and the White Sox

332
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: done talking yet, because we've heard the Dodgers being linked

333
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 3: to Crochet for it feels like more than a month now.

334
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: Of course they still have Luis Robert. There where some

335
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 3: people wondering if the Edmund deal is almost Luis Robert insurance.

336
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 4: How does this whole Crochet.

337
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: I'm not pitching in the postseason unless I get a

338
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: contract thing.

339
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 4: How does that really.

340
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: Affect the Dodgers Andrew Friedman and is it kind of

341
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: an agent ploy or you know, take us through that

342
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: whole scenario.

343
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a matter of unintended consequences. So

344
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: he comes out and says, I don't want to go

345
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: to the bullpen because don't want to get hurt. I

346
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: want to remain a starter. Then he says, but if

347
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a starter in October, I'm putting

348
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: myself at risk for an injury.

349
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 5: So I want to get a contract.

350
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: What he did was almost guaranteed that he's going to

351
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: stay with the White Sox.

352
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 5: His idea was to try to turn this into money.

353
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: And what he did one is he raised eyebrows to

354
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: his you know, I don't want to say character, but

355
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: like what's important and the idea that he wants to

356
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: create leverage where he has no leverage, is actually ensured

357
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: that he's going to stay there and not get.

358
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: A contract extension to do it.

359
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: And so I just it was such a misplay and

360
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: such misguided advice from I'm assuming from an agent. I

361
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: would have to have shared this with him beforehand, but

362
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever.

363
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,119
Speaker 2: Steve. Let me ask you this from a general manager perspective.

364
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: As things go from minute to minute, I mean, the

365
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: fans are sitting back like everybody needs to do something.

366
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: But when things are changing so frequently, how difficult is

367
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: it to stay to the plan that you mentioned? I mean,

368
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: what goes through your head? How do you guys operate

369
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: in times like this? Right?

370
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: So, what every general manager is doing right now is

371
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: they're juggling balls in the air, right, They're juggling, and

372
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: there's there's you know, all kinds of different options that

373
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: they have going on. So if they're looking for a

374
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: starting pitcher, they've got plan A, B, C, D and E.

375
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: They've got for reliever plans A, B, C, D and E.

376
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: For outfielder if you need one, or infielder that you

377
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: need one you've got a lot of different options, and

378
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: you're running parallel negotiations and you're juggling all these at

379
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: the same time, understanding, I need to get a starter,

380
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: I need to get a reliever. I need to get

381
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: an outfielder or an infielder some bat my lineup, and

382
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,879
Speaker 1: ideally I want to get the best combination of the

383
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: three that works for the least amount of talent, the

384
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: most impact, and the least amount of money I have

385
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: to take on understanding that's probably not the way it's

386
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: going to turn out. So you may end up saying

387
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: we're going to go for the better starter, which means

388
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: we've got to drop down the level of reliever that

389
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: we're going to pursue. And it could be that maybe

390
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: in the outfielder that you want, the price they're asking

391
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: is too high, or he gets traded somewhere else and

392
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: you've got to pivot to play and be. But if

393
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: you do that now, maybe you can ramp up the

394
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: quality of the reliever that you're looking at. And so

395
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: you've got to keep all of these going on, staying

396
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: in on everything, and at some point you have to

397
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: understand you got to pull the trigger. You've got to

398
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: make a decision yes or no on a player, because

399
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: the longer you wait, the closer you get to the

400
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: price going up as more teams get desperate, and the

401
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: chance you might get left hold of the bag without

402
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: addressing that need on your team.

403
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: And so it is.

404
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: It is really a juggling act right now for every

405
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: general manage. You're trying to, you know, have some nuanced

406
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: sense of where every team is and again trying to

407
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: pick up talking to other teams. What are they really

408
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: telling me? Are they really interested in my guy? Are

409
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: they just driving the price up on me? What are

410
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: they trying to do to it? And so, whether you're

411
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: a buyer or seller, it's a very unique situation this

412
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: time of year.

413
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 3: And where the Dodgers find themselves extremely unique is is

414
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: the injury situation they find themselves in. Because you already

415
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: mentioned Mookie Betts, he's somebody who will be coming back. Mcgilroe,

416
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: maybe Yoshinoba Yamamoto, who is throwing a baseball I think

417
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: on Friday, getting him off a bullpen. I mean, those

418
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: guys are exceptional trade deadline additions. But at the same time,

419
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 3: you kind of can't sit on your hands where you

420
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: know tomorrow is the last day to get a deal done.

421
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: How does that kind of factor into you know, the

422
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 3: situation where you're looking at maybe adding somebody like a

423
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 3: Crochet or a Luis Robert or X or Y or Z.

424
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 3: You know, you talk about your plan A, B and C.

425
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: How do you kind of factor that in there along

426
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,239
Speaker 3: with some of these guys maybe coming back and you know,

427
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: being assets, being weapons for your team.

428
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 4: How does that all play it? Yeah?

429
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's interesting, right, So, you know, you've got

430
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: to have some sense as to what somebody's going to

431
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: be when they come back. Mookie BET's gonna come back,

432
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: You'll play every day. He's gonna be great.

433
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: He's easy.

434
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: What is Walker Buehler going to be when his hip

435
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: is better and he comes back like I don't know,

436
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: because you know he hadn't pitched it a long time

437
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: and he wasn't great before he went.

438
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: On the injured list with it.

439
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Is Bobby Miller going to be a factor at some

440
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: point coming back into all of this as well? What

441
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: is a fair expectation for Clayton Kershaw for the rest

442
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: of the year. Can you trust Glass Now's back for

443
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. When Miguel Rojas does come back,

444
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: you know what you're gonna get. You're gonna get a

445
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: slick fielding and make every routine play and whatever you

446
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: get with his bat is sort of icing on the cake.

447
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be some time for Rojas, some time

448
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: for Bets, and you're playing games during that period of

449
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: time when those games matter, which is why you see

450
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: them go after an Edmund who has a lot of

451
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: versatility where you can play every day for two weeks shortstop,

452
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: or play three or four different positions once a week

453
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: for three different weeks, and so you know, he gives

454
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: you that versatility and that protection and depth that you're

455
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: building in. And when it comes to the pitching with

456
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: guys who have been injured for a long period of

457
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: time and then they come back to join your roster,

458
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I don't create expectations that they're gonna be what they

459
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: used to be. I think it's a setup for disappointment.

460
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to understand there's gonna be some

461
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: rocky roads through this. They're gonna be a little bit

462
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: rusty with it, and it's not the worst thing to

463
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: have the quantity of options. And when guys come back,

464
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: you can rest people you can go with a six

465
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: man rotation. There's always a need for that extra starting pitcher.

466
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: But you know, you have to trust your medical staff

467
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: about when guys are going to come back.

468
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 5: But I want predictability.

469
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: The worst thing that can happen is you go through

470
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: the deadline and you think, you know, we're getting all

471
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: these guys back, We're going to be okay, But then

472
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: they come back and they're not quite right, and you

473
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: don't have any predictability in your rotation. That's why I

474
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: want guys even if they're not necessarily going to start

475
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: in a playoff game. If I give you the ball

476
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: and I know what I'm going to get from you

477
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: for five innings, and with that, because of our.

478
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 5: Offense, we're gonna have a chance to win.

479
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Because of our bullpen, we'll hold that lead or death

480
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: sit until our offense comes back and we can defend

481
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: behind you. I want predictability in the final two months

482
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: because you have nowhere to go to supplement your depth

483
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: once we get past this deadline.

484
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that evil, you know, is better than the evil

485
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 2: that you don't steve. All thirty teams have money, not

486
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: all thirty spend it. The Dodgers do spend it. At

487
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: what point do you have to get ownership involved when

488
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: it comes to these trades and acquisitions. I mean, how

489
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: do you keep them involved of all of the moving parts.

490
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: What's the money threshold there?

491
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:16,479
Speaker 1: Right?

492
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 5: So it's interesting.

493
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: So look, I think that every general manager every day

494
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: is reporting to his owner two or three times a day,

495
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: even if money's not a factor.

496
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 5: You should do that.

497
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: Owners want to know, they want And what I wanted

498
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: to do is I wanted to kill my owner with.

499
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 5: Overwhelm him with information.

500
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: So the point that it would be like, Okay, I

501
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: get it, you guys got this under control. You have

502
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: to tell me all of the details. Just give me

503
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: some sense of what's going on. But I wanted them

504
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: to know because you know, you want their support. You

505
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: want them to understand your logic and your thinking and

506
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: support it. Now, when it comes to money, you know,

507
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: every organization is different. Typically, going into the deadline, you

508
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: understand what level of increase you have available in your

509
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: budget to add somebody to your team. Now, if you

510
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: have somebody you really have interest in and the money

511
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: goes beyond that, you then reach back out to the owner,

512
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: discuss the possibilities, explain if it's a controllable player, a

513
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: rental player, the impact you think that player can have understanding,

514
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: you better be right because when you go to owners

515
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: for extra millions of dollars, they want to make sure

516
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: that you're going to get a return on the investment.

517
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: And so it is one that each organization is different,

518
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: and generally owners are up to speed.

519
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 5: With all of the options and discussions.

520
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: And sometimes you might throw out there, look, you know,

521
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: we might be able to be in play for somebody

522
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: who's going to make a lot of money. And you know,

523
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: Zach Eflyn was a guy that you know, had eighteen

524
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: million next year. It's more than what I want to pay,

525
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: but he could be a player that can factor for

526
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: us this year. I could consider talking to Tampa about

527
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: putting money in the deal to cover some part of

528
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: next year. What's your appetite for that, and really give

529
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: them all that information so that they're part of the

530
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: that they take ownership and every decision that you're making.

531
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 3: One last question for to let you get out of here.

532
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: Steve looking at the nl WES competition. Obviously the Padres

533
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 3: in particular, they've made some moves there. They're looking to

534
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: get better, have the Padres closed the gap in the

535
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 3: NL West.

536
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: On the Dodgers.

537
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: No, I mean I think that they're they're going to

538
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: get ten Tis back, and but no, they're not nearly,

539
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: you know, in my mind close to I like what

540
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: they've done. I love what Aj Prowler Listen. I was

541
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: one at manager. I wanted to go for it. So

542
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: I would go I would make the big deal. I

543
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: would trade prospects because I never believed that I was

544
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: guaranteed the playoffs next year.

545
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: If I had a chance to make it this year,

546
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: I was going to go for it.

547
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: Because how many times do we see teams look at

548
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers, they win the World Series last year,

549
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're going to be sellers here

550
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: as they pivot the deadline. So when you've got that

551
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to go for it, I think you go for it.

552
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: And I think certainly the Dodgers are in that position,

553
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: and a number of other teams seem to be, you know,

554
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: putting it out there right now. But the price to

555
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: be paid for prospects is phenomenal, phenomenally high right now.

556
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you that's because of that.

557
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers did great, did great for admitting

558
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 1: Copek for what they had to give up.

559
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: I'd do it in a hearty all right, Steve Phillips,

560
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the knowledge.

561
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure learning from you. Again. You can

562
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: catch Steve on MLB Network Radio on the Leadoff Spot,

563
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 2: he's a co host of that, and catch him all

564
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 2: the time on MLB Network. Thanks, my friend, we'll talk

565
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: to you soon.

566
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: You got it, my pleasure.

567
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: Thank for having me, all right, Steve Phillips, tremendous GM

568
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: and all right. Time now to get into last licks.

569
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: Clinton Mowie smarter every time I talked to Steve Phillips.

570
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: He's just such a pallethora of information. We appreciate him

571
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 2: very much. All right, So let's introduce you to Boogie

572
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: and her seven puppies again. Boogie was dropped off, dumped

573
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: as a stray. Look ad dat face. She looks so sad,

574
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 2: but she's actually a wonderful little pupp She's a very good.

575
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 2: Look at all her puppies trying to get that grub man.

576
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: They're like fighting for food there. She had seven puppies.

577
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: She was abandoned in South la as a pregnant stray.

578
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: We took her in and she gave birth to seven

579
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: healthy puppies. They are too much old. They are ready

580
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: to be adopted. They're ready to go to their forever home.

581
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: They are a bulldog and German shepherd mix. So dad

582
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: was a German shepherd. Boogie is an American bulldog. If

583
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: you're interested, check us out Gidrisguardian dot org or hit

584
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: me up on social to get more information. All right,

585
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: my friend, before we let you go, before we let

586
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: our folks go, I should say managers are allowed to

587
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: have bad days too. Are you surprised at some of

588
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: the moves our boy Dave Roberts made over the course

589
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: of the weekend, You know, I.

590
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 3: Know some folks really had their pitchforks and torches out

591
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 3: on social media on Saturday and Sunday. Dave Roberts pulling

592
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: a couple of rookies seemingly early.

593
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 4: In their starts. Probably could have gotten one more out

594
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 4: in their outings.

595
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: But it's a tough job. It's absolutely a tough job.

596
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: But back to back days at backfires. And I don't

597
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: know how much you put of that on, Dave, how

598
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 3: much you put of that on you know, kind of

599
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 3: the script as some people might call it, or if

600
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: you put it on relievers not doing their jobs.

601
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: Or if you put it on relievers not doing their jobs.

602
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: Because they're you know, burnt out their overwork, because the

603
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 3: starters are coming out. It's this vicious cycle that the

604
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 3: Dodgers kind of deal with. But Dave, of course, Uh,

605
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 3: you don't get a lot of praise when you make

606
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: the right moves, But my god, do you get a

607
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 3: lot of shit when you make the perceived wrong ones.

608
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: But I don't know how much you caught of it.

609
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: Do you think Dave should have left those in there?

610
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: I know our friend Jerry Harrison Junior really went off

611
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 3: on the situation, particularly with Rableski. Looked like he was

612
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 3: cruising on Saturday. Should have stayed in there, and you know,

613
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 3: the Dodgers end up losing that game.

614
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 4: Should This is the.

615
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: Way I look at it. I don't think of this

616
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: as just a Dave there's I love it talk as

617
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: the best manager in the Viggs. I agree. Actually I'm

618
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: a best manager, one of the best. Here's the thing,

619
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 2: It's not just limited to Dave Roberts. This is a

620
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 2: trend in baseball now, God forbid, we let guys cruising

621
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: stay in the game because of what the spreadsheet says

622
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 2: that we need to do about. Oh they don't pare

623
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: well to the next guy coming up, or they don't

624
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 2: you know, they don't pitch against lefties very well, or

625
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: you know, this guy's taking him deep three of the

626
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: four times that he's faced him. If you have a

627
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: guy on the hill. I'm a firm believer in the

628
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 2: IT test. I'm a firm believer in the I mean,

629
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: there's a place for analytics and saber metrics, I understand that.

630
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: But to take Blake Snell out of the game in

631
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 2: the World Series, nobody's happier than the Los Angeles Dodgers.

632
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: Thank you, Kevin Cash, and you even said having cash

633
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: for this situation. But it's not just a Dave Roberts disease.

634
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 2: It's in every manager today kind of disease where they

635
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: feel like they won't let guys face the you know,

636
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: third time through the order. And it's a problem. And

637
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 2: that's why when you have a no hitter now, it's like,

638
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: oh my god, they let the guy go, you know,

639
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: for a complete game.

640
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 3: Allea teen pitches. You know, it's it's it's just that's

641
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: the modern game. That's what it is. They have these plans,

642
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 3: they map out, what they like to call it, They

643
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: map out, you know, the game plan for the pitchers,

644
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 3: like you say, you know, not getting having them the

645
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: lineup three times through, especially a rookie like Robleski or

646
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: a River Ryan. But still, you know, this isn't your

647
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 3: father's game. This isn't even your uncle's game. This is

648
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: not your grandpa's game.

649
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 4: For sure. This is the modern game. This is how

650
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 4: they play it. It's all planned.

651
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: Out to a degree, and hopefully, nine times out of ten,

652
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: the guy that's coming in behind the next dude or

653
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: the previous dude gets the job done. The problem is

654
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: the bullpen is just kind of rough right now. But hey,

655
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: they got a piece, they got a copec. Maybe they

656
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 3: go out and get more. Alana, what's that? What do

657
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: you think is next for this Dodgers team?

658
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 4: I mean the deadline wise, I.

659
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 2: Don't know, because I just I just don't they need

660
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: a starter. Who is that starter? Is it Jack Flaherty? Cool,

661
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 2: it's got to be. I don't know who else is

662
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: out there that even makes any sense. Maybe they do

663
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: go get get Snall. I mean, so what are the

664
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: Giants are what thirteen and a half back? Ten and

665
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: a half back? Whatever the heck it is. I don't know,

666
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 2: but they need a starter, whoever it is they need.

667
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: They need a solid starter.

668
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 3: What what would far anxiety be smoking to Blake snell

669
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: back are to the Dodgers.

670
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 2: Like I just not listen. Maybe maybe he owes Andrew

671
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 2: Friedman a steak dinner when he was under Andrew here

672
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: he never you know, materialized on that. Listen. I don't know.

673
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 2: It's probably gonna be Jack Flaherty. I'm not certain about that.

674
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: But the point is they need a frontline starter. What

675
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: do you have coming up on All Dodgers, my friend, So.
