1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: That's a phrase that many executives used to describe Andrew Friedman. 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: He is always available to hang on the backboard, get 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: a rebound, goodboard for the shot. 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: Back up, everybody, and welcome to a brand new live 5 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 2: edition on this Wednesday evening of Dodgers Territory. 6 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: I am Alana Rizzo.

What has 17 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: been your early impressions of covering this team versus the 18 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: old team, the Saint Louis Cardinals. 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: Well, they certainly have a little bit more money to spend. 20 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: That became very apparent when the Dodgers signed Edwin Diaz. 21 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 4: On my second day of the job. 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: I was running around in the winter meetings pretending to 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: look busy, pretending to be important, and I saw from 24 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: the Athletics Will Salmon that Edwin Diaz signed with the Dodgers, 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: and it stopped me, and I was like, this is 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: my responsibility right now. 27 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 4: This let me. 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: I'm not used to these kind of high profile signings. 29 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: And then, of course it's been pretty stagnant after but 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: you know, you never know here it can change very quickly. 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: And I'm super excited to be with you guys on 32 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: a consistent basis here Dodgers Territory. Obviously, love the Foul 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Territory Network, my fam there, everybody but Aj Prasinski. 34 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 4: That was a joke, a lot of fun. We'll have 35 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: lots to talk about. 36 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great to have. 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: You can't wait for this upcoming season, our third season 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: of Dodgers Territory. 39 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: Katie welcome. 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: And there is news, Clint Pacis, if you want to 41 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: hit the big ticket, let's talk about some arbitration. 42 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 5: I'm excited there's news. It's not fun. 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 6: We're trying to make arbitration fun here. Gang tell them, well, 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 6: I mean. 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 3: It is a pretty slow off season. 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, but there are some news news notes 47 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 2: in terms of some arbitration, and Katie, you can tell 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 2: us more about this. It appears that the team has 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: reportedly agreed to a two point eight million dollars. 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 3: Deal with Bruce Dar, Gretarol Bazooka for the twenty twenty 51 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: six season. 52 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: This from your colleague and our friend Favey and Ardaya. 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: There are three more arbitration eligible players though, to try 54 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: to agree to deals with before tomorrow's deadline, Anthony Bonda 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: of course, reliever Alex call and Rock Stewart. So, Katie, 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: what did you make of the agreement with Bruce Dar 57 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: and how realistic is it going to be to get 58 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: those other. 59 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: Three locked in? 60 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the salary made sense coming off of injury, 61 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: and we talked to general manager Brandon Gomes Dave Roberts. 62 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 1: Of course, in the winter meetings where brus Ar Graderol 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: will be ready to go for spring training, brox Sewer 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: might be a little bit more delayed. I don't expect 65 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: the Dodgers to not come to an agreement with any 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: of their three remainders. Arbitration isn't exactly the most exciting 67 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: thing in the off season, but. 68 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: Right now it's all we got. 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: It would be very surprising to me if agreements were 70 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: not reached for the rest of those three. 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the projections are pretty low. Put that 72 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 6: screen back up there, because of course, Fabian threw in 73 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 6: some of the MLB trade rumors dot com projections here, 74 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 6: Dodgers got that kind of money. One point seven million 75 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 6: dollars projected for Anthony Bonda, Alex Call one point five, 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 6: Milt Brocksdew one point four Beef Stew. 77 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 5: If you're nasty, I should see. 78 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 6: But yeah, very happy to see they already get Bazooka 79 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 6: out of the way, because Rees, this is a guy 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 6: we've talked a whole bunch about last offsee our last season, 81 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 6: hoping he would find his way back to being happy 82 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 6: and healthy and being there. Dude who can throw one 83 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 6: on one with these just tells you this is a 84 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 6: team that is probably ready to welcome this dude back. 85 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 6: And that bullpen that was a bit of an achilles 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 6: heel last year is going to get stronger with a 87 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 6: guy who is a World Series champion, who has been there, 88 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 6: done that, and. 89 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: Has been very good at it over the course of 90 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 5: his career. 91 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: So I remember when you got that. 92 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I remember when he came to spring 93 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: training for the first time, Bazuoka, and he was throwing 94 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: a bullpen, the first bullpen we ever watched. And I 95 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: was standing at Camelback Ranch behind the bullpen's kind of 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 2: like looking through the holes that they put out there 97 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: that you can watch, and the movement was unbelievable, right, Like, 98 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: he was all over the place in terms of the movement. 99 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: So imagine trying to face that as a position player. 100 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: But now I. 101 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: Feel like he has one hundred and one, but he 102 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: has much more of a perspective and a sense of 103 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: where it's going. And that's a very dangerous weapon in 104 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: a Dodgers' bullpen that obviously struggled last year. I mean, 105 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: we went into spring training last year thinking, my gosh, 106 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: it's the bull ten of the century, and we won 107 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: the World Series. Like, thank god, our starting rotation was 108 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: as good as they were. It's just so much has happened. 109 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: But that's I mean, talk about the vibes, Katie, and 110 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: I know that you're going to dive deep into this 111 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,559 Speaker 2: team getting to spring training, you know, in the next month, 112 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: really next four to five weeks, but that's that's good 113 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 2: news for a club that signed Edwin Dyas most recently 114 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: and then gets Bazooka back, hopefully, you know, sooner rather 115 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 2: than later. This is a team that is poised to 116 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: I know it's difficult, but to do it again back 117 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 2: to back to back. 118 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so we have Bazuoka and we have Beef Stew. 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm trying to stay up to date on the Dodger 120 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: nick names, so those still be easier to remember when 121 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: you look at this this bullpen though. I mean, obviously 122 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: the Dodgers felt like they were in a good spot 123 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: last year and this just goes to predict the volatility 124 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: of a relief pitching. You go in and you get 125 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: Edwin dy As, the best closer available on the market, 126 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: and obviously the Dodgers are confident in a bounced back 127 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: season from Tanner Scott. 128 00:05:59,640 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: I am. 129 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: I know that. 130 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: My you know, some Dodgers fans might be skeptical based 131 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: on how the season went last year, and I get it. 132 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: But when you look at the overall sample sized body 133 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: of work from Tanner Scott up until coming to LA, 134 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: it's very solid. When you have a player that's coming 135 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: to a new organization for the first time, first time 136 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: free agency signs that big monster deal. A lot of 137 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: guys will tell you that it becomes really difficult to 138 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: adjust because there is so much pressure. There's so many 139 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: eyes on you to go out and perform and be 140 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: that be that big signing and live up to that hype, 141 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: and some guys it takes a while to adjust. So 142 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: for that reason alone, I'm more intrigued to see what 143 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: Tanner Scott looks like in the second part or the 144 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: second year of that deal. And that's without going into 145 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: the injury stuff that he dealt with at the second 146 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: half of last season. You get graded all back obviously. 147 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Like you said, Alana, it's one thing to throw one 148 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: on one, it's another thing to throw one on one 149 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: and know where it's going. So that's another weapon for them. 150 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: We'll see if you know Anthony Banda's back, which you 151 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: will be, and we'll see what the Dodgers continue to 152 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: check in on Evan Phillips. That's a guy that they 153 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: are pitration case, trying to stay healthy coming back maybe 154 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: for the second part of twenty twenty six. I know 155 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: they're maybe waiting out his market. That is a phrase 156 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: we hear a lot when it comes to Andrew Friedman. 157 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: So when you look at what this bullpen could look 158 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: like over the entire twenty twenty six season, lots of 159 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: names to look at right now, but I really like 160 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: the three of Diaz, Tanner, Scott and Brustar Grattel. 161 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: That they're healthy, that's pretty lights out to me. 162 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's gonna be hopefully if everything lines up the 163 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 6: way we hope and anticipate and the way you know, 164 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 6: money says, these guys should be good at their jobs, 165 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 6: it's gonna be a really really good back end of 166 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 6: the bullpen. 167 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 5: And Riz you already know the rest of those dudes 168 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 5: can really get it done. 169 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: And a lot of those rookies I keep talking about 170 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 6: that will slot into the back end of that bullpen 171 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 6: or somewhere in the middle with your Ben Cospiras, not 172 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 6: so much rookies, but younger dudes. With your Ben Conspira's 173 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 6: Justin Rableski's Kyle Hurt. I'm gonna say Kyle Hurt's name 174 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 6: as much as I can so people know that I 175 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 6: was right, unless that. 176 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 5: Was wrong, and then I won't bring him up anymore. 177 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 6: But Kyle Hurt coming back from Tommy John it's gonna 178 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 6: be a fun look to this bullpen. Alex Fsio coming 179 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 6: back as well, so should be good. But we'll find 180 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 6: out more about those other three names and whether or 181 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 6: not they get a deal or are they going to 182 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 6: go to arbitration. Hopefully they don't have to go to 183 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 6: a hearing. That would suck. 184 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 5: They haven't done that, yeah, in a while, and everybody ever. 185 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: Wants to do that. 186 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: You have to prove how much you're worth and you 187 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 2: have to sit in a room with someone telling you that, no, 188 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 2: you're actually not worth that much. 189 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: That's never a fun time. 190 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: All right, guys, there are some rumors going round in 191 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Rumor has it. 192 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 6: Well, guys, we're still waiting out the Dodgers the next 193 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 6: big move of the off season. Katie, it looks like 194 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 6: they're also waiting out the market. This feels a lot 195 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 6: like off season's past. The last two winters, Dodgers fans 196 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 6: have been really really blessed, gifted, spoiled with the deep 197 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 6: pockets of Mark Walter and Guggenheim and all this kind 198 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 6: of stuff. But we're waiting on Kyle Tucker, waiting on 199 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 6: Cody Bellancher, waiting on something with Bobachhett the whole big 200 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 6: world is what is the latest that you have heard 201 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 6: on any of the big names that are still left 202 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 6: in free agency. 203 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's definitely been a slow off season, Edmund Diaz 204 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: signing a side, And I think you're right, Clint, when 205 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 1: you think about the last two off seasons, the historic 206 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: preston that they sent, this seems even slower just by 207 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: comparison to the last two. So what we're hearing about 208 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker, Boba Scheck, Cody Bellinger, the main three free 209 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: agents that the Dodgers have been connected to, is more 210 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: or less the same. They're hanging around and that's a 211 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: phrase that many executives used to describe Andrew Friedman. He 212 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: is always available to hang on the backboard, get a rebound, 213 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: get a board, put the shot back up. When we 214 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: look at these three guys, I think what's super important 215 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: to understand here is as the car as the Dodgers 216 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: wait out the market and the rest of the industry 217 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: sees what happens here, the Dodgers aren't really in the mix. 218 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: And this is true based on what we reported last month. 219 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: They're not in the mix for that super long term contract. 220 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna hear us talk a lot about the Dodgers' 221 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: overall age of their roster. 222 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: They're not in a position and to offer any three of. 223 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: These guys extensive five to six to seven year contracts. 224 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: Now. 225 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger, to me, seems like he's going to be 226 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: a Yankee, And even if he's not, I'm not sure 227 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: if the Dodgers are in a position to give him 228 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: either the years or the money that his market may 229 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: be demanding. And we were looking at Cody Bellinger, you're 230 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: likely to see a five year deal in a perfect 231 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: world for him, I don't see La doing that. 232 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 4: However, if his market falls and. 233 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,719 Speaker 1: Maybe you can get a Belener for a two to 234 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: three year deal, you reconsider it. But that seems pretty 235 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: unlikely with the way things are shaking out right now. 236 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: Boba Shehet also seems unlikely that he'll go back to 237 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: Toronto's having a hell of an off season. 238 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: But again it comes down to the years. He is younger. 239 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: He turns twenty eight next in a couple of months, 240 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: so you have age on your side there. But again, 241 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: if you're looking to sign a six to seven year deal, 242 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: Dodgers probably aren't the place for you. Of those three, 243 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: I still think Kyle Tucker is the one that makes 244 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: the most logical sense, especially if his market does not 245 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: get the years that he was expecting, the Dodgers can 246 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: go out and sign him to. 247 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: A three four year deal high AaB. 248 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: I know they usually don't do opt outs, but maybe 249 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,599 Speaker 1: this is a situation where they can work one or 250 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: two in just based on the market. This is the 251 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: worst part of the off season, guys, that's waiting for 252 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: things to happen, and that's kind. 253 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: Of where the Dodgers are right now. They're comfortable hanging around. 254 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: They don't necessarily feel pressure to add any more of 255 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: what they'll be in a position to do so if 256 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: it makes sense for them. 257 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 6: I want to focus on the Bellinger part of this, 258 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 6: and Riz it feels like we were maybe a little 259 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 6: bit more high on a Cody reunion early in the 260 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 6: off season, understanding like then we were really really set 261 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 6: on this team needs an outfielder. We just watched Michael 262 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 6: Conflorida try to play baseball for them in left field 263 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 6: for the last like five months. It didn't you know, 264 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 6: six months whatever, It didn't quite work out. Rizz, do 265 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 6: you feel the same, like maybe I agree with Katie. 266 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 6: I will open with he belongs back with. 267 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 5: The Yankees and think it was a really good fit. 268 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 6: But do you have that same feeling a lot of 269 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 6: that maybe you have soured not so much shower but 270 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 6: cooled on a belly reunion with a. 271 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm certainly not cold on it. I wasn't 272 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: super duper duper hot on it to begin with. What 273 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: I do think is that we need an outfielder, and 274 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: I don't know that Cody Bellinger is the one. 275 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 3: I agree he stays in New York, but I. 276 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: Think he has a better chance of going to the 277 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: Mets than he does staying at Yankee Stadium. I don't 278 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: think he is going to have an LA reunion. I 279 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 2: think there's sometimes you just can't come home. And I 280 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: don't know that they need to spend that kind of 281 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: money if in fact he does get a four or 282 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: five year deal, which to Katie's point, I don't think 283 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: that's going to happen. I don't think the Dodgers are 284 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: going to do that. They don't need to. While I 285 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: think the outfield is their biggest need, I don't know 286 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: that it necessarily needs to be Cody. Whether it's a 287 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: Harrison Vader, whether it's a Stephen Kwan, whether it's somebody else, 288 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: a Byron Buxton, if they do it via trade versus 289 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: via free agency, I just don't see a Bellinger reunion 290 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: happening for LA, certainly not at what the early numbers 291 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: seem to be that Boris is putting out there. In 292 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: terms of Bellinger, Bellinger, I love a kid. I mean, 293 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: I was probably his first major league baseball you know, 294 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: big league interview. 295 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 3: He's not a four hundred million dollar outfielder. He's just not. 296 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 6: I mean, if it was after his MVP season, for sure, 297 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 6: but that is that is a long way removed. 298 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: Seventeen was his vpcson. 299 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 5: It was twenty nineteen. It was Roy seventeen MVP. 300 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: That was a long time ago. 301 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: And again, yeah, I mean he still has a lot left, 302 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 2: but not four hundred million dollars left in. 303 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 4: The Dodgers, don't. 304 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're gonna spend four hundred million dollars, 305 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 3: get Kyle Tucker, you know what I mean? 306 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 4: And I don't. 307 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: I don't see that happening either. I don't see that 308 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: happening either. 309 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 5: So hey, I don't know. 310 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 6: They say the things that are heating up on the 311 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 6: Kyle Tucker stuff here he this seems to be the 312 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 6: biggest piece that needs to fall before anything happens. 313 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 5: Is it Toronto? Is it La? 314 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 6: Who else is in the mix? I think the Cubs 315 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 6: not so much. We're hearing the Dodgers are being more 316 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 6: amongst the more aggressive people when it comes to Kyle Tucker. 317 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 6: John Morosi had this to say on the MLB Network 318 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 6: today talking about the Dodgers being in on Tucker with 319 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 6: on a shorter term deal and all this kind of stuff. Katie, 320 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 6: what are we hearing about Tuck? Here's what's going on? 321 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 6: What is this market moving? 322 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 5: Man? 323 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, the three most interested teams, and this is all 324 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 1: to various degrees of interest, are the Dodgers, the Blue Jays, 325 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: and the Mets. 326 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 4: This has been reported widely through. 327 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: Multiple outlets, including the Athletic. And this goes back to 328 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: the conversations that we had at the winter meetings again, 329 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: and I'll reiterate it. A shorter term deal is the 330 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: only way Kyle Tucker is going to come to La. Now, 331 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if that same logic applies to Mets 332 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: or the Blue Jays. 333 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: The blue Jays are. 334 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: Having a very Dodgers esque off season anyway, So I 335 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: don't think we can rule anything out. We certainly saw 336 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: that with Edmund Diaz. I mean, the day before the 337 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: signing happened, Brandon Gomes was saying that the Dodgers felt 338 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: they were really good about their bullpen and didn't feel 339 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: like they needed to make any additions. The Dodgers don't 340 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: need to make any additions in their outfield, but they 341 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: certainly are capable of doing and that's what makes them dangerous. 342 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: So as we wait out the kai El Tucker market, 343 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: and as we see maybe the demand the early projections, 344 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: and maybe we as an industry just missed the mark 345 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: on our projections overall from many of these free agents. 346 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: If we get closer and closer. 347 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: Spring training again, just roughly a month away, and these 348 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: deals start to fall, is there any team better suited 349 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: to offer a short term, high aav deal than the 350 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Dodgers. 351 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 4: I would say no. 352 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: And that's why Kyle Tucker seems to garner so much 353 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: interest here. 354 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: We talked about it already on the show. 355 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: They wanted outfield help, they wanted to make some additions there. 356 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: They still could do that in a lesser degree be 357 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: a trade. Harrison Vader's a great suggestion. Stephen Kwan, larsmfar, 358 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: they've all been kind of connected to the Dodgers. But 359 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: if the price point falls in terms of years, expect 360 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: the Dodgers to. 361 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: Be a much bigger plan. We're going to hear more 362 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: about them. 363 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 2: For Kyle Tucker, Katie, how long can the Dodgers stand 364 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: to wait them out? I mean, do you go into 365 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: spring training with the roster that you have if Kyle 366 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: Tucker still isn't signed, which is unlikely, but it has happened. 367 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 2: There have been many guys that, at least recently, there 368 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: have been guys that have waited until the spring training 369 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: has started. How long is the wait realistically before you 370 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: figure this outfield situation? 371 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: So nobody wants to. 372 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: Do that, right, No player and no team wants to 373 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: go into spring training and not having some sort of 374 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: resolution with the big marquee free agents. But unfortunately it's 375 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: become more and more common as spring training picks up. 376 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: Now for the Dodgers, they're okay waiting. There are some 377 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: questions about what Tommy Edmund looks like coming back health wise, 378 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: they're okay, kind of just stalling out the market. 379 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 4: It really comes down to what Kyle Tucker wants. 380 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: So that's when we say the Dodgers are hanging around 381 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: or Andrew Friedman is ready for the rebound. 382 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 4: This is what we mean. It's just it's up really 383 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: to the player. 384 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: On when he's ready to make a decision, and then 385 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: teams respond from there. It doesn't make for compelling off 386 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: season baseball. I know that, but that's just the reality 387 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: of the situation. 388 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 5: We mentioned. 389 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 6: Of the three teams in on Talk, the blue Jays 390 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 6: seems to be getting a little hotter on Tucker as well. 391 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 6: John Hayman had this today on the Bleacher Report, mentioning 392 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 6: it's going to be Blue Jays, Mets or Dodgers. And 393 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 6: when I hear blue Jays spending more money on a 394 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 6: player that is not Bobachett, that tells me a little 395 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 6: bit more that there's a chance that they are not 396 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 6: going to re sign Bobaschett. And I am somebody who 397 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 6: is madly in love with the idea of Bobachett as 398 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 6: a Los Angeles Dodger. Let's identify identify that first part, 399 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 6: or let's dive into that first part. 400 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,399 Speaker 5: Is it strained between the Blue Jays and. 401 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 6: Bo, what's kind of going on with that market because 402 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 6: they seem to suddenly not have money for him, but 403 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 6: maybe some for a Kyle Tucker move. 404 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because each every Blue Jay 405 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: reporter will say they're still in it and there's a 406 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: way they can get both. And I'm more inclined to 407 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: believe the people that are covering the organization every day, 408 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: really your beat writers there are the most invaluable resource. 409 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: So I don't want to say they've closed the door 410 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: on Bobachett. I think Bobachett is waiting out the market. 411 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 3: Now. 412 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 4: Here's what we know. 413 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: He could be trying to get paid as a shortstop 414 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: while he is open to playing second base like he 415 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: did in the World Series. If he wants to get 416 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: paid as a shortstop, there is not very many shortstops 417 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: available right now, so that could be driving up his demand, 418 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 1: and other teams might want to pay him as a 419 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: second basement, which would bring a little bit less of 420 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: a demand, so there's a lot of negotiations back and forth. 421 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: Players usually only get one two if they're lucky, real 422 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: chances in free agency to max out their worth, So 423 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: I don't blame Bobachet for saying, Hey, I'm going to 424 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: be a shortstop for some teams, I would like to 425 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: get paid as one, or you know, maybe they go 426 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: to a different cooman. He's a second baseman and he 427 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: takes a lesser deal. But the position markup here, I 428 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: think is something that should be talked about because it is, 429 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: in my opinion and based on people I've talked to, 430 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: playing into a little bit here. And unfortunately for Boba Schett, 431 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: he kind of has to wait out the markets of 432 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker because the same teams that are interested in 433 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 1: him are also interested in Tucker, so not doesn't make 434 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: anything easy for anyone, especially the Dodgers who are clearly 435 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: linked to both. But I I do wonder if Boba 436 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: Schet makes sense here, and I'm willing to argue both ways. Obviously, 437 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: he's a talented player. Any team would be lucky to 438 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: have him, and he's a difference maker. But let's say 439 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund coming back from ankle surgery doesn't come back 440 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: one percent healthy, he has a couple of weeks where 441 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: he's not available, starts here on the injured list. We 442 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: already know he's coming to spring delayed. So let's project 443 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: and I'm a Tommy Edmund Truther covered him for many 444 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: years in Saint Louis. 445 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 4: Love the guy. 446 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: I think he's a game changing player if he's not ready, 447 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: But he's only going to be on the il to 448 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: start the season hypothetically for two to three weeks. Would 449 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: it make more sense just put two in Haysey on 450 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: Kim and give him an actual chance to play some 451 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: consistent second base and see what he can do, so 452 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: you know what you have with consistent playing time. It 453 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: might not be the most flashy option, but the Dodgers 454 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: are set up where they don't necessarily need to make 455 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: an upgrade at second base. Now, on the flip side, 456 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: you could say, well he's Boba Schett, so make room 457 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: for him. 458 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, I hear you. 459 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: And the argument there is you have your everyday second basement, 460 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: you have someone to back up Mooky Betts at shortstop, 461 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: and if you're looking down the road and you don't 462 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: bring back Max Muncie, Bashek can play third two. 463 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:05,959 Speaker 4: So I do see that argument. 464 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I love the fact that. 465 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: I mean, although he probably wants to get paid as 466 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 2: a short stop, he does fit into the mold of 467 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: the v for the Dodgers, and that's that versatility, right. 468 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: I mean they're big on that. 469 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: They're big on guys bringing six seven gloves to the yard. 470 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: It's interesting because I tell you what, you get Bobaschett 471 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: and you get Edwin Diaz. I mean, the Dodgers win 472 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: the off season. I don't know if I'd feel as 473 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: I feel the same way if it was an Edwin 474 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: Diaz Kyle Tucker situation. Do you think, Katie and your 475 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: estimation the Dodgers it would be a bigger off season 476 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: if they got Tucker and Diaz. 477 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 3: Or if they got Bobaschett and Diaz. 478 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: That's such a good question. 479 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: I'm leaning Bashett because it's not a name that we 480 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: really linked to early in the off season where the 481 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,239 Speaker 1: Dodgers were kind of honestly the favorite in the very 482 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: early projections to land Kyle Tucker. 483 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: But Bashett he's younger. 484 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: Well they're about the same age, but in terms of 485 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: what he can do again with that versatil, he seems 486 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: like the more Dodgers player because they love their guys 487 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: that can play around the diamond. Like you said, Alana, 488 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: I think that'd be more of the excitement factor because 489 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: it was less known. I mean, signing Edwin Diaz would 490 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 1: have been a big deal no matter what. But I 491 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: think part of what made it so cool for fans 492 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: was because it essentially came out of nowhere. I mean, 493 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: this deal came together in seventy two hours. They were 494 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: in for Devin Williams. He went to the Mets, and 495 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: all of a sudden that the Dodgers realized they had 496 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: to change their off season strategy and said, you know, 497 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: instead of looking for these one to two year deals, 498 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: if it's going to take three years to sign a 499 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: high profile reliever. 500 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 4: But you might as well go all out and get one. 501 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: And so they were able to get that Edmund Diaz 502 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: deal so quickly that to me would be more exciting 503 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: for fans again for Boba Schet, because it didn't seem 504 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: likely at all, where Kyle Ticker kind of seemed like 505 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: the logical signing. Either way, though, if they pick up 506 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: one more either player, it's. 507 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 4: A great offseason, it's fantastic. If they don't, it's a gamble. 508 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 5: That's a great way of putting a gamble. 509 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 6: And I wanted to die into something you had said 510 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 6: a little bit ago about, yeah, the team really doesn't 511 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 6: need to make moves. You got Alex call and the 512 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 6: rookie Ryan Ward, who can play some left field. You 513 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 6: know at some point Kika Hernandez will be back with 514 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 6: this club. It is the worst kept secret I think 515 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 6: in all of baseball. Miggy Roe could play the infield, 516 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 6: so Tommy Edmond could play the outfield. Is it the 517 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 6: sexiest offseason to just get Edwin Diaz? 518 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 5: I don't think so. I think they do need a 519 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 5: little bit more. 520 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 6: They absolutely need to add one more bat because they 521 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 6: were terrible. 522 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 5: They were terribly. 523 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 6: Terrible at hitting baseball, hitting the baseball and playing second base. 524 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 5: We eventually found the words. 525 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 6: I got the second basement for the Dodgers last year 526 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 6: hit poorly. It's the hard part of me putting myself 527 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 6: on the screen while trying to do this. But anyways, 528 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 6: they get a combined two thirty nine as second basement. 529 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 6: That's the thing where I've really warmed up and heat 530 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 6: it up and got very turned onto the idea of 531 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 6: Bobashett because I think they need an infielder and they 532 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 6: have a lot of outfield depth at the minor league 533 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 6: level eventually coming for this team. But I'm gonna play 534 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 6: with the idea here we played with the last night 535 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 6: on My All Dodger Show. 536 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 5: How about why not both? Hashtag why not both? 537 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 6: Go out there, get both of these dudes at a 538 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 6: high aav deal. Short term, you're gonna give them those 539 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 6: opt outs. Maybe they even have an opt out after 540 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 6: two years, because you know some I think that there's 541 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 6: at least a little bit of that CBA upcoming CBA 542 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 6: looming in kind of where contract negotiations feel like they're 543 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 6: going this offseason. Give them an opt out after a 544 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 6: couple of years. Win a World Series or two, and 545 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 6: then you guys can go get some money when you're 546 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 6: thirty and thirty one or whatever. 547 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 5: It works out. So hashtag why not both? 548 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 6: Ruin baseball even more by signing Edwin Diaz, Boba Schett, 549 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 6: Kyle Tucker. 550 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 5: Everybody get on board. Thank me later. That's all I got, Devilson, 551 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 5: thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Not a question, 552 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 5: no no, no. 553 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 6: That was this more of a monologue, I guess, and 554 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 6: I threw you guys on the screen to endure it 555 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 6: with me. 556 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 5: That was it. I want them all. 557 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 6: I decided I'm going to be a I don't know 558 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 6: if it's a petulant Dodger fan. 559 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 5: I'm greedy. I want it all there, trying to win 560 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 5: back to back to back. This is a team that 561 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 5: makes a lot. 562 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 6: Of money and these guys are out here dangling. You 563 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 6: can find the right the right deal. That's Mark, Mark Walter, 564 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 6: listen to me, spend the money. 565 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you this, Katie before we move on. 566 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: Clinton and I had this discussion on Monday on the show, 567 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 2: and I don't know how you feel about this, but 568 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: I feel that. 569 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 3: Your primary, your primary. 570 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 2: Opening day lineup and your everyday lineup needs to be 571 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: a guy that you're running out there as a starter 572 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 2: every single day. I don't want an opening day roster 573 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: to have a platoon player in my starting lineup. 574 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 3: What is your opinion on that. 575 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: I think it would depend on the player and a 576 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: lot of this again, not to repeat a point, but 577 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: depends on Tommy Edmond's health. 578 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 4: We know he's going to be delayed to start spring. 579 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 4: We don't know to what degree. 580 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: If Tommy Edmund's healthy, you can have that set nine 581 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: every day and maybe the position changes just based on matchup. 582 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: Bridy lefty. That's pretty standard practice now at this day 583 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:03,959 Speaker 4: and age. 584 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: But starting with the platoon is hard because guys, especially 585 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: to start the season, like to get in a rhythm, 586 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: and it's really hard to do that in March and 587 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: April if you're not getting consistent at bats. So to me, 588 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: it just depends on who is doing the actual platooning. 589 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: A guy like Mickey Rowe can handle it. This is 590 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: an established veteran that can play around the inndfield if needed. 591 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he hopped into Game six and essentially saved 592 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: the World Series despite not starting for like the entire month, 593 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: so obviously he's capable of doing that. I don't know 594 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: about Kim if that's going to be the right way 595 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: to set him up for success, but I can understand 596 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: the Dodgers wanting to try that if Tommy isn't healthy 597 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: to start the year, best gut scenario all around obviously 598 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: goes without saying a healthy Tommy edmund As wonders for 599 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: this club. 600 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 4: So we'll see. But I'm kind of with you a 601 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 4: wanta starting the. 602 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: Year with the platoon just based on timing and feel 603 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: doesn't always give guys the best start. It has to 604 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: be a player conditioned who knows how to handle it. So, like, really, 605 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: Miggy Roe is the only guy I see doing that 606 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: to start. 607 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 3: I agree with you. 608 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing about this team. It's like 609 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 2: there's so many guys that could play so many different positions. 610 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 2: But I do like those platoon guys being bench guys, 611 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 2: you know, and given guys a starting staff a blow. 612 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna talk about a pup, Katie. We 613 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 2: do this every show. It's called lex and for most 614 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: of you, you guys know, I have a foundation called 615 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 2: Gidri's Guardian Foundation. So let's talk about a pup that 616 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 2: needs a needs a home. 617 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: All Right. 618 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: We've introduced you to her before, but we're gonna do 619 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 2: it again. We're going to continue to do this until 620 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: Havana finds the right home. 621 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: She is so so sweet. She's about eighteen months old. 622 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 3: She is a boxer pity mix. 623 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 2: When she came into the Guidri's Guardian Foundation, she was emaciated, starving. 624 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 2: In fact, she was so desperate she followed our Vice 625 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 2: president's husband into their house. My best friend Karina's husband 626 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 2: was walking their dog and Havana found him and walked 627 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 2: into their house asking for help. And she's so right now, 628 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: she's healthy, she's happy, she's vaccinated, she's spade, she's sleeps trained, 629 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: she's potty trained, all the things. She is being fostered 630 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: in Lahabra, California. So if you're interested in adopting Havana, 631 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 2: please reach out. She'd be great with a family that 632 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: has another dog that has the same energy, or she'd 633 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 2: be great as a solo dog home with people that 634 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: are around all the time. She gets a little bit 635 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: of separation anxiety. So if you work from home, she 636 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 2: is your girl.
