Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz is a Doyer.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: Didn't see that coming, Riz, at least that.

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,639
Speaker 2: Is the report. What are you thinking? What's the first

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: thing you thought of? This has not been made official

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jeff pass And reporting that

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 2: the closers deal with LAS for three years sixty nine

22
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: million dollars. Sources telling ESPN the Dodgers, who were targeting

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: bullpen help this winter, got the best closer on the market,

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: setting a new AAV record for relievers. Relievers are starting

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: to get pizzaid and Edwin Diaz is one of those.

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: Your reaction, Yeah, I was shocked.

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I was absolutely shocked. This morning, I decided to spend

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. Your boy went to bed late later

29
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: yesterday and I wake up and I see the all

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: important the almighty Jeff pass and reporting. And it wasn't

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: a jet pass and it wasn't a fake Jeff Passing

32
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: account reporting the Dodgers or landing Edwin Diaz on a

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: perfect deal for the Dodgers. We knew. I mean the

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: reports were Edwin Dia is looking for somewhere in that

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: five year deal. That five year ranged and one hundred

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: million dollars was I was like, there's no way the

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: Dodgers are going to that. However, you bring it down

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: to three years, lower that commitment, crank up the money.

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: And this is what the Dodgers have been trying to

40
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: do with players for years. The big difference now this

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: is every bit. I mean, it's been a destination for years,

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: It's been a destination for at least a decade, but Alana,

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: now this is the pre eminent destination for baseball players

44
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: that want to come here. So I love every bit

45
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: of this. You get your closer. I am shocked. I

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: was absolutely shocked. What about you.

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: I did not think that they would do this. I

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: think the reason that it came together is because A.

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Andrew Friedman's a genius B I think Edwin Diaz really

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: wanted to come to Los Angeles and he was willing

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: to lower the years. I'll take a higher AAV for

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: three years than a lower AAV for five. I'm absolutely

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: in on this. I love this. There are deferrals, of course,

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: because it is Los Angeles and that's the way that

55
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: we're doing things right now. But I'm okay with that.

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: Joel Sherman, who is the columnist for the New York Post,

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: of course, he's also on MLB Network. Sources say deferrals

58
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: on diaz deal with the Dodgers four point five million

59
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: annually for the three years for luxury tax purposes, will

60
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: calculate at roughly twenty one point one million dollars. I

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: don't care if the man's gonna get his money. It's

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: guaranteed money in baseball, which I like for the player.

63
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: I don't care if you get it at the front

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: end the back end, you know, Bonnie Venia and whatever

65
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: you do, I will take that. And how about that

66
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: I get my closer. I thought it was really important

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers didn't have that revolving door at the

68
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: back end of the bullpen. And man, what was already

69
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: a good bullpen, not a great bullpen. But if he

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: can do what he did Clint before he got hurt,

71
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: and what he did last season, I'm in yeah.

72
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we know this is there's a reason

73
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: he was a top closer on the market. It's because

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: he is very good at his job. He has nasty stuff.

75
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: He still strikes people out. Obviously, the people in the

76
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: chat very very happy. I'm sure just as many people

77
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: as shocked as we were this morning. But you're talking

78
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: about the quality of that bullpen. This is coming off of. Yeah,

79
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: he didn't have a great season last year, did Tanner Scott,

80
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: But still the spectation he's going to rebound, He's going

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: to be something closer to what we saw in his

82
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: time with Miami a little bit through San Diego as well.

83
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: But you look at the way bullpen is stacking up

84
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: right now, and some people might be upset. I throw

85
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: a Ronan cop in there, but he is technically on

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: the forty men and a lefty reliever. But having Edwin

87
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: Diaz at the top of that right handed side of

88
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: the ledger Alana just does feel a lot better. But

89
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: you have people that can get you saves. I think

90
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: I would hope, you know, Diaz is going to be

91
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 1: somebody that's more going to pick up the lion's share

92
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: of save opportunities rather than need to be the de

93
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: facto every single time closer, you know. I mean, it's

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: still going to be ninety eight percent of the time,

95
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: But you have somebody in Tander Scott who can go

96
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: out there and hopefully close the game for you. Blake

97
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: Trying and Alex Vessia, Bruce dark Raderol coming back. Ben

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: Casparius will be in that bullpen. Justin Rabuski should be

99
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: in that bullpen as well. It is a pretty dangerous

100
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: mix of arms there, and I'll pump the brakes a

101
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: little bit because it was a little under a year ago,

102
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: you and I were at spring training talking about that

103
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: vaunted bullpen, how good that bullpen was going to be.

104
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: It turned out that maybe sometimes good, maybe sometimes it

105
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: maybe shit. Ultimately they end up going out there and winning.

106
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: I think the biggest reason, and I'll let you, you know,

107
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: digest all of that. I think the biggest reason the

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Dodgers felt the need to have to get this deal

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: done is they don't want to have to force Yamamoto

110
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: to go out there on less than one day's rest less.

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: You know, after throwing a hundred pitches. Yamamoto should never

112
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: have to relieve a game in the uh in the

113
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: postseason again, or at least for the next three World

114
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: Series wins that the Dodgers have.

115
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what you said. You know, when

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: you see Yamamoto warming up in the eighteenth inning of

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: that unbelievably long game, and then you have Yamamoto doing

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: all that he did in Game seven, that's enough for

119
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: me to say, man, we need a closer. Right. Obviously

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: we didn't have Alex Vessia. Things would have been very different.

121
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: If Alex Vesia was able to be on the World

122
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 2: Series roster. He was exactly where he needed to be.

123
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: But he's back and that's a good thing, right Obviously,

124
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: you hope that Tanner Scott can figure it out. Kirby

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: Yates is likely done as far as LA for sure. Yeah,

126
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: maybe Baseball potentially, But that's that. This is a big deal.

127
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: This is nice, I'll take I didn't want to sign

128
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz for the long term, not a five year deal.

129
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: I wasn't on board for over one hundred million for

130
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: a closer, but I'm I'm on board for a three year,

131
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: sixty nine million dollar deal for him absolutely, especially with

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 2: Bessie back end there. Tanner Scott, hopefully with the rebound

133
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: Anthony Bonda taking a step forward, you know, we'll see

134
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: probably see Evan Phillips on the roster in the second

135
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: half of the season when that sixty day IL stuff

136
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: is all figured out or whatever. I like this bullpen,

137
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: I like this team I have, and I think we

138
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: just got a lot better.

139
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the timeline of this whole thing is weird

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: because I think everybody ever saw our buddy Ken Rosenthal

141
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: on with the foul boys who are absolutely holding it

142
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: down at the winter meetings there, So shout out to

143
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: everybody Scottie Brawn, aj Prazinski, Mark Wiener, Jeremy Meyer, all

144
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: the guys that are bringing you, guys some great content

145
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: over with our friends at Foul Territory. But looking at

146
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: the timeline of this, nobody saw this deal coming. Even Ken,

147
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: the guy who knows all, did not see this deal coming.

148
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: And this comes from of the many kind of Mets

149
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: people and baseball people that are crashing out, as the

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: kids say, from this signing. Looking at this this timeline here,

151
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Mets were kind of given or expecting

152
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get a rebuttal there their their offer

153
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: was his high ast three years and sixty six million dollars,

154
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: so not that far apart. But you know, according to

155
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: to Anthony Dicomo, Diaz did not care to try to

156
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: work something out with the Mets. And you know this

157
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: guy here, Tyler Ward, saying, is it pretty much he

158
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: just kind of I got tired of being with the Mets,

159
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: tired of losing that. That's kind of the opinion he

160
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: was putting together. There, build an exceptional product and the

161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: players will come. I think that's.

162
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: The way, and they will come. You're absolutely right, and

163
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: I think the thing is too It's like he was

164
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: offered more for multiple reports, not only from Anthony Tacomo,

165
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: who does a tremendous job, but also Matt why My

166
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: Steve Gelbs who covers the Met for S and Y

167
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: that said, you know the money was there. It wasn't

168
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: a money issue. It was more of like, where am

169
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: I going to have the best opportunity to win? Where

170
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: am I going to have the best opportunity to succeed

171
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: and get the ring that has been eluding the New

172
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: York Mets for quite some time. In LA is a destination.

173
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: We've discussed it several times and you said it at

174
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: the top of our show. Everybody wants to be in LA.

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: People guys are willing to Again, he's not Listen, the

176
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: man's not broke, okay. I mean the money was a

177
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: little bit more in New York, but he's still getting

178
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: absolutely paid in Los Angeles. But guys are willing to

179
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: change up their deal work with different types of language,

180
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: be able to construct a deal differently to go to

181
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: LA And that's important. Yeah.

182
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely. I mean again, you know this team is primed

183
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: to to at least get to a World Series again

184
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. If you want to win a

185
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: baseball game, if you want to win a World Series,

186
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: you want to win a ring. This is the place

187
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: you want to go top to bottom. And I'm sure

188
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: it helps a billion percent that Edwin Diaz's brother Alexis

189
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: pitched here last year, had nothing but great things to

190
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: say about it. David Vesse had reported about it as well.

191
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I've got to put the the tweet in for the

192
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: show here, but that is absolutely another one of the factors.

193
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine another one of the factors that plays

194
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: in to Edwin coming here and we'll find out more.

195
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: We'll find out more once he actually, you know, meets

196
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: with media and it becomes official. But as of now,

197
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: it seems like it's an officials official as it can be.

198
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Of course, with passing on it. Uh, you're already seeing MLB,

199
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, media talking about it, and they usually.

200
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: New York is already saying it, you know what I mean,

201
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: Like the people that cover the Mets have already basically

202
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: confirmed it. The Dodgers have not, and that's fine, But

203
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: the Mets are saying he's not he's not coming back

204
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: and he's headed to l a B. We're gonna talk

205
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: about Yeah. See we're going to talk about what's next

206
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: coming up. Don't forget, guys. The holidays are upon us.

214
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: I didn't think this is big, Like, yeah, this is big.

215
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: So what what is left? If anything?

216
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean this this kind of changes everything for

217
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: me because, you know, less than twenty four hours ago,

218
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: we hear Dave Roberts saying there's no real big splash

219
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: we feel we need to make. And then you wake up,

220
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: at least on the East coast or the West coast here,

221
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: you wake up to Edwin Diaz in a Dodger uniform.

222
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I think I think anything is

223
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: on the table. You know, there have been some kind

224
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: of loose reports about Trek Scoogle and maybe the Dodgers

225
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: having a strong I know it's not, but hey, why not?

226
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Why not us? Why not? It's not our money, it's

227
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: not our prospects.

228
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, that's not happening. But

229
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: I say, all we really, I mean again tomorrow season opens.

230
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I'm good. I'm happy with this team. A

231
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: bona fide center fielder, a good defensive center fielder that

232
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 2: can can hit a little bit, I think would be

233
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: like the icing on this wonderfully delicious cake with all

234
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: the sugar.

235
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Or a versatile outfielder. You know, you see Scott Boris

236
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: out there trying to sell Cody Bellinger doing his weird

237
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: riddles at winter meetings, saying that, hey, everybody kind of

238
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: seems to be in on belly. Maybe there's a reunion there. Hell,

239
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: maybe the Dodgers say effort and and find a way

240
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: to get a you know, short term high aav deal

241
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: with Bobaschett to come play second base. Not that they

242
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: necessarily need that, but then you kick Tommy out Edmund

243
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: out to the outfield. Dodgers are in the driver's seat

244
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: now with this offseason. I think they could do pretty

245
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: much anything they want that the big question is do

246
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: they need to do anything else? Yeah, outfielder for sure. Hell,

247
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: let's go bold, go get Stephen Kwan and and Jay

248
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: ram I'm gonna go back on that Jose Ramirez, you know,

249
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: bandwagon or that trade, trying to make it happen. But

250
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm suddenly excited about this offseason because

251
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be drab, dreary, dull, boring,

252
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: and now I was.

253
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 2: I was anticipating a sprinkle. You got a splash.

254
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is yeah, this is a bolder this is

255
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: you went from dropping pebbles into the damn you know,

256
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: into a lake to kicking off a whole damn boulder.

257
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: Rosmand saying you got to go ahead and celebrate with

258
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: a glass of wine today.

259
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 2: Alana, I mean, I mean it doesn't I don't need

260
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: an Edwin Dale. Let's be honest. For sure.

261
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm totally in let's see what else another Dodger's Live

262
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 1: from Diane's and we don't need anybody.

263
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: I in the chat though, I don't, I don't know,

264
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: I'm not lying. We don't have to have anybody at

265
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: this moment. Like Diane put it in the chat. Good

266
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 2: to see you as always my friend, who do you want?

267
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 2: What's what's next for you? Then? I mean we have

268
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: a closer what do you want, Diane let us know?

269
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you need an outfielder. That that's one

270
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: of the things they have. They have definitely said, I

271
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be or at least they

272
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: have said they're going to any to figure out the

273
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: outfield mix whatever that means, and that that's very much

274
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: an open door interpretation that uh, you know, Andrew Freeman,

275
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Gomes can kind of work around work with. They

276
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: like the guys they have internal, but we'd feel including

277
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: our friend Alex Golf, you guys miss that. Check out

278
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: the interview we had with them yesterday. But they like

279
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: the guys to have internal. They would also very much

280
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: like to add somebody else, but I would I would

281
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: imagine in terms of Bullpen, this is probably it right,

282
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: Maybe Evan Phillips.

283
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: You're you're assuming that at some point you're getting Phillips back.

284
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: You're assuming that Bruce dark Grattarol Bazook is going to pitch,

285
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: You're you get Alex back, Anthony Bond is going to

286
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: take it to the next level. You know, you got

287
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz, I mean Tanner Scott, I like our bullpen's

288
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: fine bull. Our bullpen just got a whole heck of

289
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: a lot better. I get. I agree we need an outfielder,

290
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: we need a centerfielder. But I'm not I'm not like,

291
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, what are we gonna do if we

292
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: don't sign them? Is my point? You know what I mean?

293
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a great spot, great position once again,

294
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: as we've said, as we've maintained now for a while.

295
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't know how much more

296
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: we could add to this. Dodgers obviously they they make.

297
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if he could argue the biggest splash

298
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: of the winter so far, another move. Kyle Schwarber returns

299
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: to uh To.

300
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: To the Kelly, I don't know. I think the Toronto

301
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: Blue Jays signing cease is a pretty big deal. I

302
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: think that's I think that's really good for the Blue Jays. Yeah,

303
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 2: but so, but that's that's okay. So to Devin Williams,

304
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: we would have been fine with Devin Williams now he's

305
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: the closer for the Mets. Not everyone's going to have

306
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: a banner year every single year. I mean, tay Oscar

307
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: did have a great year. I would take tay Oscar back.

308
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: I mean he may get moved, but I would take

309
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: him back. I mean, listen, every year is not going

310
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: to be lights out like I would be. I would

311
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 2: be fine. I would be fine with that. So the

312
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 2: only other thing I can say is the Rocco Baldelli.

313
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it more on Thursday. Is headed to

314
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Dodgers as a special assistant to Andrew

315
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: Friedman and that group of good baseball man, good baseball mind. Obviously,

316
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: he was the manager of the Twins, got relieved of

317
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 2: his duties because the Twins are a mess. So he's

318
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: coming to Los Angeles, and that's good. He's a local

319
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: guy here, good good baseball dude, so.

320
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: Has ties with Andrew Friedman of course from years in Tampa.

321
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, Clint and I are going to be back

322
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: normal time. Unless something happens tomorrow, we'll be back tomorrow.

323
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: But if not, we'll be back normal time noon on Thursdays.

324
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: We might be later on Thursday, depending on how maybe

325
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: I think. So possibly let.

326
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: Me do something. Don't ever let me talk about our

327
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: schedule for the rest of our existence. Okay, I am

328
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,920
