1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Are they done? Are they going to add an outfielder? 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: Are they going to add an infielder like we've talked 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: about before Pictures and Catcher Report. 4 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, what's going on?

Clint Pacius, we made it, 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: my friend. It is the end of twenty twenty five. 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the final show of the year, final live stream, 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: final show of season two of Dodgers' Territory. I appreciate 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: you guys hanging out with us today. We're doing something 20 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: a little bit different. We're talking about the Dodgers diving 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: into the top storylines that you and I will be 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: watching heading into the new year. And we're gonna do 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: that right now on the big ticket. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 2: All right. So there's still time, Clint, for the Dodgers 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: to make a splash or two before reporting to spring 26 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: training at Camelback Ranch. And the question remains, sir, how 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: much work, if any, in your opinion, is left for 28 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,199 Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman in company? The biggest splash, I would say, 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz, we got the closer that I wanted. I 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: wanted a closer. Is there more to come in your estimation? 31 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you still got a whole month and 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: change before, you know, the boys report to pictures and 33 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: cat You know you said that. It just makes me 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: so excited we are, you know, the itches back, the 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: bug is back. Pictures and catchers report that. That really 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: it gets me going right there. But yeah, the biggest 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: storylines we're gonna watch is related to that. Are they done? 38 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: Are they gonna add an outfielder? Are they gonna add 39 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: an infielder like we've talked about before, Pitchers and catchers 40 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: report we've talked about and maybe there is a need 41 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: for a center fielder that would kind of move Andy 42 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: Piez to right field, to Oscar Hernandez to left field. 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: We've talked about maybe if they don't go that route, 44 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: adding a plus plus back to ball kind of left fielder, 45 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: somebody that just has a little bit different, less of 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: a strikeout profile on the team. We've also discussed a 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: lot over the last month the potential of adding a 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: second basement. Boba Shet really really stands out for this team, 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: and that would be an option to kind of kick 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund out to center field in that outfield mix 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: and all of that. Do they go one of those routes? 52 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: Is it a trade as a free agency they also 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: have the pieces to, like not make another move. I 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: think it would be hoove to borrow from Jim Tracy 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: be hoove the Dodgers to make one more splash before 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: pitchers and catchers report, you know, capitalize on either free 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: agency or you know, some options out there on the 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: trade market. But that's one of the big storylines. Thoughts 59 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: on that before we kind of trudge. 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: Forward, Well, if that's gonna be the splash, that would 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: be massive, right, if Boba Schet happens to become a 62 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: Dodger my gosh, that's a massive, massive position player splash 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: to go with the massive message pitching splash and Edwin Diaz. 64 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: Now let me ask you this then, So if you 65 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: do get Boba shitt and that kicks Tommy Edmund out 66 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: to centerfield, which I'm fine with that as well, would 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: you take that or would you be not necessarily equally 68 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: as excited but still pretty excited and satisfied. If they 69 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: ended up and it wasn't Boba Schet but it was 70 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: Stephen Kwan and like Harrison Vader, I. 71 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: Don't think they would need both Bader and Kwan. One 72 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: of the two would be very nice. If between those two, 73 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: I would definitely lean the Stephen Kuan way. I don't 74 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: think Cleveland is trading. I mean, they were in the 75 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. Like, they're not a terrible team. They 76 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: could use a closer suddenly over there in Cleveland and 77 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: probably some more bullpen help, but they I don't know. 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: It feels like it's a hard sell to hardsell of 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: the fan base to trade away you're, you know, a 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: homegrown star. But if was doing that, might as well 81 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: land you know, Jay Ram. At the same time, I'm 82 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: getting back into trade. 83 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: More so on him, which I get. I mean he's 84 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: he's a perennial All Star. But let me ask you this. 85 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: So if you look at our chat, Dave s two, yeah, 86 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: Dave s six, what about bo and Batter? I mean yeah, 87 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: sure that would be fine too, But then what does 88 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: that mean in terms of words? Tommy Edmen fit into 89 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: that situation? You know it is batter your bench guy, 90 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: I mean, is beatter someone that's coming off the bench. 91 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: If you do, in fact move Tommy Edmund to the outfield, 92 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: if you do get Bobashitt, what do you think about 93 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: Dave slot here about Bo and Bader? I just like 94 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: the name. It sounds like a blufferm Bo. 95 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: And Beader attorney at law, Attorneys at Law. I mean 96 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: we talked about this two or three weeks ago. I 97 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: love these two together. If there is like a one 98 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: A version of a Dodgers offseason would be adding Bobaschett 99 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and an outfielder like a Jaron Duran or a Stephen 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: Kwan or Kyle Tucker or something like that, Cody Bellinger, 101 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: that would be the one A. The one B would 102 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: be this one, because Harrison Bader can scratch that itch. 103 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: We've talked about with center field. He can play left field, 104 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 1: and I think the best version of this team does 105 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: not have Tommy Edmund playing every day. Maybe I wouldn't 106 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: call it. 107 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: You were big on him when they signed him, even 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: though he was coming off all those injuries, and we 109 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: were just kind of waiting to see what he was 110 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: gonna give us. Why do you say that? Why do 111 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: you like him more as maybe a platoon guy, a 112 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 2: bench guy. 113 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's his best role. He's 114 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: come up. Listen. I love Tommy Edmund. He's had some 115 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: very big moments for this team. Maybe that an ankle 116 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: was bugging him a lot, but he seems to be 117 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: a little bit inconsistent. I don't think he's gonna be 118 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: that big time power bat that we saw like early 119 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 1: last year early or early this year, early twenty twenty 120 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: five in April where we're like, oh crap, this dude 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: kind of has a little bit of sock. Maybe maybe 122 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, you know, if fleeceman strikes again, as it 123 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: were with that five year extension with with Tommy Edmund, 124 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: but in some sort of platoon role kind of settling 125 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: into taking a step back into more of a Chris 126 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: Taylor role. I think that could be best for Tommy 127 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: Edmund doesn't mean he's playing not playing every day, I 128 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: guess I should restate it. It would be more he's 129 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: gonna play some center, he's gonna play some second, he's 130 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna play short, he's gonna play left, Mix him around, 131 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: kick him around everywhere, and that also lets him, you know, 132 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: opens up a door, opens up an opportunity for Harrison 133 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: Bader to get some some reps in center field and 134 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: left field and all that stuff as well. But you 135 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: do whatever you can to maximize that outfield while still 136 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: adding Bobaschett. Again, that's my perfect offseason. I'm gonna go 137 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna go that hard in the paint. I doubt it, 138 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: but I also doubted Edwin is. And then that happened. 139 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: Well, that wasn't even being talked about. As much as 140 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: we know that Bobashett was going to be talked about. 141 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: We knew that Boba sheet was going to be on 142 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: the minds of many, if not all thirty, even though 143 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: not all thirty would go for it. But okay, let 144 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: me ask you this, So Dave is an agreement saying 145 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: that Edwin basically excuse me, Tommy Edmund, It's basically like 146 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: a Swiss army knife, a super utility guy, if you will. 147 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: There's some folks on here, Clint, that don't want Harrison 148 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: Vaders s Murphy twenty four saying, if you want bater, 149 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: you might as well bring back oh four to two 150 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: literally no different. Oh for Ford Yeah, oh yeah, that 151 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: makes sense for Confordo, I don't agree with that. I 152 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: think Harrison Vader has more more to give, I guess 153 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: than can play more outfield spots than Michael Conforto, and 154 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: I think offensively he'll definitely be better. 155 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: I will say I did kind of look more at 156 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: at Harrison Vader's career and the numbers, and they're not phenomenal. 157 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: For sure. It's not you know, it's not Kyle. He's 158 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: not Kyle Tucker. He's not Co Bellinger. 159 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: He doesn't cost Kyle Tucker is going to cost you either. 160 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: You don't need a Kyle Pucker, you don't need a 161 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger. You don't need to spend a bazillion dollars. 162 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: I mean, if Cody thinks he's getting four hundred, he's 163 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 2: smoking something and it's not marijuana. And if you know, 164 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: I just don't think the three twenty five or four 165 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: hundred or whatever it is for Kyle Tucker is going 166 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: to be Yeah, that's not sensible either. 167 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: Yeah to add a bushette and a bat. And I 168 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: didn't expect us to devolve too much into this again, 169 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: which I love. I love this this conversation. I think 170 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: it's it's again. It gets the juices flowing for the 171 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty sixth season and knowing that there still is 172 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: potentially some big off season moves, some big off season 173 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: change ahead that that does excite me. But the thing is, again, 174 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: they they don't need to make a move, but we've 175 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: talked about it already. I think heading into the season 176 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: with your your left field let's say right now you're 177 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: left field in your second base being you know, Hessong 178 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Kim and Tommy Edmund and Ryan Ward and Alex call 179 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: as of right now on the forty man roster, I 180 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: think you can do a little bit better. I definitely 181 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: think I know you can do a little bit better, 182 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: especially with a team that's making all this cash. They 183 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: just what dropped like ninety million dollars off the payroll 184 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: with all their you know, Kershaw retiring and other people 185 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: moving on and all that kind of stuff. They got 186 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: the money, take advantage, capitalized on this opportunity. We don't 187 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: even know if Butchet's really available to the Dodgers, But. 188 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think Toronto's going to have the 189 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 2: first ride refusal, right. If Toronto brings him back, my 190 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: guess is he's gonna want to be like Vlad and 191 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: finish his career there. But if Toronto's not willing to 192 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: give him the bag like they gave Vlad the bag, 193 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: then he has the right as a free agent. I 194 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: believe all of them do to test it out. Let 195 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: me ask you this, Do you think the Dodgers are 196 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 2: done adding to the bullpen? 197 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: That's a great question. You know, we've we've had some 198 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: dialogue this offseason before the Winter meetings, before the Edwin 199 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Diaz signing, where we knew they wanted to add a top, 200 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: a high leverage, right handed reliever to the back end 201 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,839 Speaker 1: of the bullpen. Did not think it was gonna be 202 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: Edwin Diaz just did a little bit ago. It was 203 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: that is massive. That's that should kind of be their 204 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: checklist because they have a bunch of really really good 205 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: arms will show off a screen a little bit about 206 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: some of the bullpen arms that are around. Actually, you know, 207 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: I'll just stow it up right now. There's there's this 208 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: isn't all of them. This does not have Kyle hurt 209 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: This does not have River Ryan in the mix. You 210 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: don't know quite what ends up happening with Emmett Shean 211 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: along the way, because they are going to need to 212 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: feel the starting rotation of but only six players, but 213 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: it feels like they should and could be done after 214 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: Diaz and and you know, at most wait until. 215 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: And you still don't know what I understand. They want 216 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki to be a starter, but you don't know 217 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: how that's going to go. So that does that mean 218 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 2: that he ends up in the bullpen. There's a lot 219 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: of question marks, but they definitely have the arms to 220 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: move around. And to your point, we don't know what's 221 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: going to happen with River Ryan and Kyle Hurts and 222 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: those types of things. But I'd be fine if they 223 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: didn't add anything to the bullpen, because you figure Evan 224 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: Phillips is coming back at some point, is Bruce is 225 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: bruced Oark graderol got to make some sort of appearance 226 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: and make some sort of impact for this club, you know, 227 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: down and down the line. I mean, I mean he hasn't. 228 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: We haven't seen much of him in the last two 229 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: plus years, guys, So anyway that, I don't think they 230 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: would have a need to add any anybody else in 231 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: the bullpen if they need anything. In my opinion, we've 232 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: talked about this at nause I mean, honestly, it's because 233 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 2: this off season there's just nothing going on, for God's sake, 234 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: so we keep having to urgitate the same stuff. But 235 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 2: it's still on the minds of Dodgers fans. It's like, 236 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 2: what is this roster going to look like? Not only 237 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: just come spring training, which is about six weeks away, 238 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 2: which is awesome, but also what is this club going 239 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 2: to look like come Opening Day, which is you know, 240 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: we're less than ninety days away or whatever from Opening Day, 241 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: so it would be cool. I mean, another shock. And 242 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: you mentioned that. And by the way, guys, Clint does 243 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: such a great job putting together our rundowns on a 244 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 2: show basis, so I appreciate all the effort he does 245 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: for it. But you know, well, they shocked the baseball 246 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: world with Trek Scoobel. I don't think so. I would 247 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 2: think that the Tigers would be really flipping stupid to 248 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: a not extend him now, but b to let him go. 249 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: I think that's really really dumb on their part when 250 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: they were a pretty damn good baseball team last year, 251 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 2: and I hope, you know, I think they're only going 252 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: to get better. So would it shocked the baseball world? Yes, 253 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: it would. Are they going to do it? I don't 254 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: think so. 255 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? Same. I was looking Scooble was on his social 256 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: media kind of making a Detroit world tour, you know, 257 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: popping his head in at different events and. 258 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: Sporting events and games. 259 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he said, like, I think the comment or 260 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: the description on his post was like Detroit over everybody else, 261 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: Like they're they're doing a little bit of damage control 262 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: probably over those rumors. But yeah, for Detroit, another team 263 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: that made the postseason to trade away like your ace, 264 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: even though ostensibly you could say it makes a team 265 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: better adding two high quality arms versus one insanely elite arm. 266 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: They could use some more starting pitching help, because it's 267 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: what ham Jack Flaherty and then I don't know the 268 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers. I'm sorry, that is the That is the 269 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: length of my knowledge of the Detroit Tigers. But yeah, 270 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: I I I don't know. I will chug a beer 271 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: on the stream if the Dodgers somehow land Trek Scooble, 272 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: that's it. 273 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: Just a beer. You're gonna be checking more than that. 274 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean they have a decent they have 275 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: a decent lineup. They have a decent I mean they're 276 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: not They're not the daughters. Not many teams are, but 277 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 2: I mean Casey mys is in that rotation. There's some 278 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 2: other guys in there that are that are not elite, 279 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: elite elite, but enough to not in my opinion, trade 280 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 2: Trek scouble. I think. I mean they have they have 281 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: a good you know, bullpen guy and Kyle Finn. Again, 282 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: they just got Kelly Jansen, you know, say what you want. 283 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: I mean Reese Olsend Anderson that's part of their rotation 284 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: as well. So there you have, again, not guys not 285 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: names that were like superstar names. And I understand that, 286 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: but I think they would be absolutely idiotic to trade 287 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: terror school that is neither here nor there. I don't say, 288 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: I don't think that if the rumors officially have died out, 289 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: because who knows what Andrew Friedman's got going on under 290 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: his two lane sleeve there if you will. Much more 291 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: to come on Dodgers Territory, but Clinton, I definitely want 292 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: to talk about the store.

All of the things we're talking here. 304 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: Was storyline one. I'm calling that all storyline one. 305 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: That was storyline one. That's fair. That's fair. We got 306 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: off tangent a little bit, but that's okay. Storyline two, 307 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: Clint Pissius, as you so well planned here, how will 308 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 2: the front office manage the forty man roster? As if 309 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: you look at the forty man roster right now, it 310 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: breaks down to twenty four pictures. Of course, that includes 311 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: starters and relievers obvi, fifteen position players and then a 312 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: guy by the name of shohe O Tani who doesn't 313 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: take up either spot. He takes up both of them. 314 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: So how does this look to you? Okay, because they 315 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: don't have anywhere to go right now if they were 316 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 2: to sign some more folks, some of these lists, some 317 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: of these names are coming off of the list, which 318 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: I think brings you to your next point of who 319 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: is I'm not saying not valuable guys, I'm saying dispensable 320 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: to either A free up some space for us to 321 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: make it a better picture for the roster, and b 322 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 2: give these guys some opportunities to play more someplace else. 323 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we'll get into the DFA guys for 324 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: a second. That is a lot of bodies. That is 325 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: absolutely a lot of well there's forty as forty human 326 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: men that occupy the forty man rouster. I'll put the 327 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: thing back up on the screen there. Like you said, 328 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: if the Dodgers, our whole first segment of the show 329 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: is talking about are they done? Are they going to 330 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: make additions, Well, you can't make additions without at least 331 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: one subtraction. That is just the world that we live 332 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: in here that could you know, be in the trade 333 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: or that DFA route that you're mentioning. We'll reiterate, we 334 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: are not saying that we want these guys gone. We 335 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: are just saying that they are either a surplus or 336 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: like you said, better served with an opportunity elsewhere. These 337 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: are what is that five dudes? At least there's probably 338 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: one more in there. I mean, I could have made 339 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: the argument to have Will Klein highlighted on this list. 340 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: But of the names, no district respect to any of them, 341 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: Anthony Bonda, Paul Gervais, Bobby Miller, Estuary Ruiz, and Michael 342 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Sianni and outfield that they just picked up a couple 343 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: of weeks ago. If they need an immediate spot, Ruiz 344 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: is probably the first guy getting DFAED. But if you 345 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: need a bunch of roster space, those are the guys 346 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: that are probably first on the chopping block. You know, 347 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: That's one of the things I'm watching. If they are 348 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: gonna add a position player, if they're gonna add another pitcher, 349 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna need to create space if it's you know, 350 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: if they go that route, it is what it is. 351 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: But they have a lot of bodies, you know, I 352 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: think again, I'll reiterate, I think they could stand pat 353 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 1: and it not be the worst situation. There's a lot 354 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: of surplus, for sure on the roster. There's a redundancy 355 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: on the roster. And I'm saying it like in the 356 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: best way possible, no disrespect to these people. There are twelve. 357 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: There are twelve starting pitching options heading into spring training 358 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: as it stands right now. You guys see him on 359 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: the screen. Yes, not everybody is going to break camp 360 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: as a starter. Ben casparis, Justin Rubleski and Kyle Hurt 361 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: probably will and need to be in the bullpen. But Yoshinobu, 362 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: yam Moto, Blakes noew Shoheo, Tani Tyler, glasnaw Amachi and 363 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: Gavin Stone, Roki Sasaki and then River Ryan. Those are 364 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: the guys that are going to be right at the 365 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 1: top of that starting rotation and in that conversation and 366 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 1: you know those final three, that's gonna be a fun 367 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: competition coming out of spring training, particularly with Sasaki, you know, 368 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: River Ryan, and then Shean and and Gavin Stone coming 369 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: back from the shoulder surgery. That's another big storyline as well. 370 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: How do they come back? 371 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's it, and you know, we're going 372 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: to talk more about this too. I don't think we 373 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 2: made as much noise as we probably could have talking 374 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: about certain guys that were, you know, under the radar 375 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 2: for the team last year and in twenty twenty three. 376 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that a little bit more in 377 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: our next show. But I think that we have an 378 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 2: opportunity to start this season with a roster that's pretty 379 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: dang set already, you know, And I think that's that's okay. 380 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 2: And again I was blown away by the Edwin Diaz situation. 381 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 2: There's some topics or some comments here in our chat 382 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 2: about the Red Socks are we're inquiring about Tyler Glasnow. 383 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: I don't think that Tyler glass Now is somebody that 384 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: the Daughters are willing to move. Yeah, So the Truth 385 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: Seeker dot RB thanks for the ten dollars super chat. 386 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,239 Speaker 2: We appreciate it. I guys, hope you had a good 387 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 2: X mess. We did hearing Boston has inquired about Glasnow, Yeah, right, 388 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: she and for Duran, which is interesting. I think that's interesting. Actually, 389 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: she and for Duran is interesting. You think Friedman trades 390 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: where they signed free agent outfielder along with bo and 391 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: or a Kamoto. 392 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: So I don't know the Akamoo want. I don't know that. 393 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: I don't I think it's I don't know that it's 394 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: a Kamodo. Actually going back to that, I'll circle back 395 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: on that in a second. So she and for Duran 396 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: is interesting to me because Emmit Shean I think has 397 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: a lot of upside. But Emmitt Shehan doesn't really have 398 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: a spot in this rotation. Emmit she It would absolutely 399 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: have a spot in the Boston rotation. They are struggling 400 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: to find anybody besides obviously now they have Sonny Gray, 401 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 2: but he's not really a number two and that's who 402 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: that's what he's going to be for Boston because they 403 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 2: have Garrett Crochet as their ace, and then they have 404 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 2: Sonny Gray, and then they don't have Lucastielito anymore. Brian 405 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: Bao is still on, you know, he's still coming up, 406 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 2: but he's not necessarily the answer. They have a lot 407 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: of young arms and a lot of unproven talent in 408 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 2: that starting rotation. So that's an interesting because the Dodgers 409 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 2: need an outfielder right that can a good defensive outfielder 410 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: that kind of fills that need Emmitt she And that 411 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: would give him more playing time. I could see that 412 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 2: happen over a Tyler glasnow trade. 413 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a trade from an area of surplus 414 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: again they have I'll throw it back on this. You 415 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of starting pitching options there Tyler Glass. Now, 416 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: you know he signed an extension here, he was told 417 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: by Andrew Friedman that he is not going anywhere. Arguably, 418 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: Emitchian has more value between the two, just because he 419 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 1: is still cheap, he is young, he is under team control, 420 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: coming off of a pretty dang good season, underrated season 421 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: by the way, coming back from Tommy John. Yeah, if 422 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: if Boston was open to that a one for one deal, 423 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: or if it's you know Shean and you know one 424 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: more of those guys, Hey, Bobby Miller getting a change 425 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: of scenery there or something like that mix and Anthony Bonda. 426 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: You get a veteran lefty reliever added to that Boston 427 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: mix to get Jared Duran. Somebody could play left field, 428 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: who could play center field, has a bunch of speed, 429 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: a good amount of pop that would be another. I mean, 430 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: I've loved Jared duran for a long time. Use your ass. 431 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: They need to use their assets, and then that helps 432 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: with that stacked forty man roster, you know issue. Like 433 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: I like we said heading into this, you gotta clear 434 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: the space. Trading is probably the best route. 435 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 2: And Jaron Duranza gamer. I like him a lot. He 436 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: is a ballplayer, he's a gritty guy. He's great in 437 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 2: the clubhouse. I've heard some rumors that he's not a 438 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 2: team player. That's absolute bs. He's a good, good clubhouse guy. 439 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: As teammates love him, they love playing for him, they 440 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 2: love being around him. So I would absolutely welcome him 441 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 2: into the Dodgers clubhouse anytime. And I think what the 442 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: truth seeker was talking about was Kazuma Okamoto, who is 443 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: a Japanese infielder that apparently Clinton drawing some significant interest 444 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 2: from multiple teams, labeled even as a perfect fit for 445 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: a certain for certain clubs. I don't know that the 446 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: Dodgers are one of those perfect fits for him. But 447 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: the guy is he's like the next big thing, right 448 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 2: or one of the next big things, I should say, 449 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: coming out of Japan three twenty two batting average last season. 450 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 2: We'll see. There were original reports that said he wasn't 451 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: going to sign with a major League baseball team in December, 452 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: which is almost over, so we'll see what happens in 453 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 2: terms of the posting and the availability. But that's who 454 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: he was talking about, Okamoto, So there you have that again. 455 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: This is all it's fun to spit ball. It's fun 456 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: to you know, of course, kick the tires on everybody 457 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: because it's fun to spend other people's money. And the 458 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: Dodgers don't have a significant amount of holes. But I 459 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,679 Speaker 2: do love the I would be totally fine with Emmachian 460 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: to give him more opportunities. Man if Emmitt she had 461 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 2: could pitch every fifth day, good for him. And to 462 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: get Jared Durant and maybe that solves the Maybe that 463 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 2: solves the outfield this year a little bit. I don't know. 464 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: G I is not a big fan of trading for 465 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: a platoon bat, which Jared Durant. I understand. Like if 466 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: the Dodgers desperately desperately needed emmachi in, yeah, I would 467 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: not want to make that trade. But you have Gavin 468 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: Stone coming back. Certainly, Stoner is a question mark coming 469 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: off of the shoulder surgery. That is something thing we'll 470 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: talk more about as we get closer to spring training, 471 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: but that is that is an area of concern coming 472 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: back from. 473 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 2: The Rogers starting rotation. G I so, but I mean 474 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: at this point, maybe a sixth guy at seven. 475 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: Point, Isn't it fair to say it's kind of embits 476 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: spot to lose as the fifth starter, fifth or sixth starter. 477 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 1: They're gonna try everything they can. Rokie will be in 478 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: that starting rotation. Doesn't necessarily mean he breaks you know, 479 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: camp with the team likely maybe potentially does, but they 480 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: want to. They want him to be a starting pitcher, 481 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: so that really just makes one spot. Gavin Stone was 482 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: having an all star campaign, you know, in twenty twenty 483 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: four before the shoulder gave on him and is happy healthy, 484 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: uh and and two times well I guess technically not 485 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: two time World Well anyways, he's coming off of a 486 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: World Series championship season, was really good. In the starting rotation, 487 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: it feels to me like right now, the point I'm 488 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: getting to is that he's kind of earned that spot 489 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: and he healthy. 490 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: Tell me your rotation right now, who's your race? Who's 491 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 2: the opening day start? 492 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Well, that would be Yoshi for sure. I'll put this 493 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: up because I pretty much gave it away here on 494 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: the left side of the screen, Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Show, 495 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: Heyo Tani, Tyler Glasnow, Emmicchien, Gavin Stone. I don't have 496 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: Rokie Sasaki in my starting rotation if I had my 497 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: say about it, which I don't. But the Dodgers will 498 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: have Roki Sasaki in that starting rotation to open the season. 499 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: Uh well, in a starting role to open the season, 500 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 1: whether it's with the big leagues or at the Triple 501 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: A level, which I think they would have. That would 502 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: be a tough pill to swallow. But it's yeah, that 503 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: competition's injuries aside, that competition can come down to, you know, 504 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: two guys for one spot Stone, Shean or maybe they 505 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: hold Stone back. As far as I've heard, he's had 506 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: a full, like healthy and full off season workloads, so 507 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: he should be ready to go for for you know, 508 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: spring training. But yeah, those are the things to watch 509 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: gang again. 510 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 2: And and these are all good things that that are 511 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: fun to talk about, and I'm okay with it. I 512 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 2: think before we move on here, I need to tell 513 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 2: rihann O Keeves number one, he can go somewhere. You 514 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: could go somewhere. Listen, listen, Rihannu Keeves, Uh, Margo Allen 515 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 2: is not overrated, you rihannu ks are overrated. All right, guys, 516 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: appreciate the conversation. As always, we'd love hearing what you 517 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: guys have to say. Again, we're not experts, but we 518 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 2: pretend like we are on television, which is what we're 519 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 2: doing right now. So all right, let's uh, let's wrap 520 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: things up. Let's get to last lists. All right, guys, 521 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 2: So this is Peyton. I have introduced you to her before. 522 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 2: This little lady was living in a house. Unfortunately her 523 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: owner passed away and then the owner's husband was going 524 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 2: to take her to a high kill shelter. So we 525 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: took her under our our family at Gidrey's Guardian Foundation 526 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: five months ago, in July, actually July twenty seventh. She 527 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 2: needs an adopter. She is super sweet. She's nine month 528 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: old pity mix or excuse me, nine year old pity mix. 529 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 2: She's very very sweet, very gentle, just needs a couple 530 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 2: of walks a day. She's not high maintenance. She's probably 531 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: best in a home with no other dogs, or at 532 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 2: least dogs her size. No, you know, no, little dogs 533 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: or timid dogs or other senior dog. She just like 534 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: likes her peace. But she's a sweetheart. If you're interested 535 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 2: in learning more about Peyton, She's being fostered in the 536 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 2: Santa Clarita area, but a forever home is what she needs. 537 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: So there you have that, Clint. 538 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: Go help out Peyton, Go help out the dogs. Goes 539 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: to the Gidrisguardian dot org. Get yourself a dog for 540 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: the new year, as long as you're a responsible pet owner. 541 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 2: Correct, don't get a dog as a gift. Don't be 542 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: the Kardashians. For the love of God. 543 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: I mean you could, just I could. I really want 544 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: that to be like a lie since plate frame, don't 545 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: be the Kardashian. 546 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, they do do the opposite anyway. 547 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: Moving on, well, I mean they do make a lot 548 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: of money, and that is not my. 549 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 2: Thought for the road. Yeah. Yeah, just because you're loaded 550 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're a good person. Anyway. That's also not 551 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: my thought for the road. My thought for the road, Clint, 552 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 2: is that this baseball off season has been so boring. 553 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 1: It's been a little bit of a challenge for sure. 554 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: I've I've welcomed the piece to a degree, except for 555 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: show days where you have to come up some things 556 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: to talk about.
