1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: It feels almost criminal to have future Hall of Famer 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: fred Ward Freeman batting that low, but that's just what 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: you get when you have the amount of talent that 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: this ball club has. 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: Thursday afternoon to you, everybody, Welcome to a live and 6 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: brand new episode of Dodgers Territory.

It is official. 26 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker, the two hundred and forty million dollar man, 27 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: will be manning the Dodgers stadium and uh well, really 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: the right field position for the Dodgers. Tell us a 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 2: little more. You wrote an article talking about the fact 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: that the Dodgers held firm to a shorter contract hire 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: aav and why it worked. Why did it work? 32 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 4: Yes, Kyle Tucker, number twenty three is official. The I mean, 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 4: we knew about it for a while, but it finally 34 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: went through yesterday and Michael Siani DFAD as the corresponding move. 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 4: But let's talk about why the Dodgers held so firmly 36 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 4: to their stance that they were only going to well 37 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 4: as much as they like Tucker sign him to a 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: shorter term deal. We talked to President of Baseball Operations 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: Andrew Freeman, after the press conference, and he was pretty clear. 40 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: I'll read some quotes here about why this was so important, 41 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 4: and it really comes down to balancing the short. 42 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: Term versus the long term. So here's what Andrew Freeman said. 43 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: He said, in the short term, it's easy to take 44 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 4: the core talent we have in place, the nucleus that 45 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: we have, and say anything we can add to that. 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 4: You don't want to be flippant about what we have 47 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 4: right now in this moment in time. That being said, 48 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: we have to try to balance it with three, four 49 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: or five years out, as the guys that are currently 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: under contract get out, Infusing young players over that time 51 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 4: is going to be really important for us to be 52 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:51,920 Speaker 4: able to maintain. 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: So that is just acknowledging where the roster is right now. 54 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 4: Obviously, Dodgers in the middle of a dynasty run show, 55 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: Hey Mookie, Freddy go to on the list. It's not 56 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: even talking about their rotation. It's a team full of 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 4: all stars. But there's also the age and we'll talk 58 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: about that. Three four or five years from now, a 59 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 4: lot of the core nucleus is going to be in 60 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 4: their late thirties, and the Dodgers didn't want to get 61 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: bogged down with a bunch of long term contracts. They 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 4: want to continue this competitive run even if the stars 63 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 4: right now guiding this dynasty are a part of you know, five, six, 64 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 4: seven years from now. They want to be able to 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: sign free agents to a contract that allows them to 66 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: be flexible and not just you know, ensure that their 67 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: competitive window ends when their current nucleus age is out. 68 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was something I had spoke about a little 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: bit on my My Old Dodger show last night. I 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: think the front office, Andrew Friedman in particular, kind of 71 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: laid out a little bit of the groundwork for like, hey, everybody, 72 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: this might not be what we do every single offseason, 73 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: every single year moving forward. At some point, you know, 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: we need to get back into a building from within. 75 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: We need to look to a future five years down 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: the road where we're not spending four hundred million dollars. 77 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: This is me paraphrasing, but I mean, if this is 78 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: what we're living now, we're going to continue to take it. 79 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: I love that this organization, besides the winning, this organization 80 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: has such a rapport now. 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 5: Everybody knows this. 82 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Is the best organization to play for top to bottom, 83 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: and I think that was one of the underlying things 84 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: that we got from Kyle Tucker is that this is 85 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: a team, This is an organization. This is a franchise 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: that takes care of their players from the very base level, 87 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: from single A players being fed to you know, show 88 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: he Otani getting a suite and being able to show 89 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: up to the ballpark anytime he wants with this dog 90 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: and work out and have a catch and all this 91 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: kind of stuff, Like they take care of their players. 92 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 5: I think that's something really really cool. 93 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: He could have taken the easy route, Kyle Tucker and 94 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: has been like, you know, and I wanted the money, 95 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: and I like winning World Series. 96 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 5: That is a lot of fun. Give me that next ring. 97 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw this, because at 98 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: the same time the Bobashett presser was kind of going on, 99 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: and both of them could have been interchangeable in a way. 100 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: It's like I wanted to sign with always wanted to 101 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: be a Dodger, and you know, it's not about the money. 102 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 1: It's about the team and the guys and the city 103 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. 104 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's okay, though, Like I don't care, like say, listen, 105 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: I say, I wanted to get paid. I deserve to 106 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: get paid. I deserve to test the free agent market. 107 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 2: I wanted to get paid. And why not? You know, 108 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: why not you know, latch onto a team like the 109 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Dodgers if you're going to help them, and 110 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: you know that they're going to put a team around 111 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: you that has a pretty dang good chance of getting 112 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: to the postseason and even better chance of winning it all, 113 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: why not. I have no problem with somebody taking the 114 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: bag and saying, listen, we've heard excuses of guys that 115 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: wanted to sign for a quote unquote X team because 116 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: of the school system. We've heard about it. Oh it's 117 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: because of the food. Oh bullshit, because I don't care. 118 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: If you're making two hundred and forty million dollars a year, 119 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: if you signed with Cincinnati, you can find good food. 120 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 2: So it's not it's about the money. It's about the value. 121 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: It's about making the most money that you can as 122 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 2: long as you can. For some guys at the end 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: of their career, it's about going to and I'm not 124 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,119 Speaker 2: saying this is Kyle Tucker, but I'm talking about guys 125 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: that have already either won it or they're running out 126 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: of time to win it. That may be a huge 127 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: factor into why they want to go with a certain team. 128 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: One thing that was interesting about this guys, though, and 129 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: Bob Nightingale once again breaking the internet yesterday with a 130 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: tweet on X talking about the contract structure for Kyle 131 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: Tucker that really, the Dodgers are paying a grand total 132 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 2: of only three million in actual salaries this year between 133 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: Otani and Tuck. Otani two million. We knew that. We 134 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: know that Otani's only getting two million a year for 135 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: a certain amount of time, sixty eight million deferred. Tucker 136 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,799 Speaker 2: is being paid one million with sixty four million dollars 137 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: signing bonus. I don't care what you want to call it. 138 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: It's the same amount of money. You can paint it 139 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: with whatever stroke of a brush you want to pay 140 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: to paint it. It's still the money. Right If I'm 141 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and I live in Florida or I live 142 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: in Texas, Hell, yeah, give me sixty four million as 143 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: a signing bonus because they don't have to pay taxes 144 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 2: on it. It's not you know, so it's fine. It's semantics. 145 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: The Dodgers are not doing anything illegal. They're not doing 146 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,119 Speaker 2: anything that any other team can't do They're just doing 147 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: it better, Katie, I mean, is that the sense of that? 148 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: I mean that that tweet to me, I was like, what, 149 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: this doesn't make any sense? Tell us more. 150 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 4: Yes, not only breaking they don't have, but breaking my 151 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 4: brain because I could not comprehend the math there. There's 152 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: a reason I write not anything else. But this is 153 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 4: I think a lot of hit. 154 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 3: He said it perfectly. 155 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 4: The Dodgers are operating within the current parameters of the game, 156 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 4: and you can hate that as a fan of any 157 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: other team, but they're not breaking the rules. This is 158 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 4: what's allowed under the current collective bargaining agreement. Now we 159 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 4: can get into if the current collective bargaining agreement stays 160 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 4: that way. My inclination is that we're going to have 161 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 4: some free, contentious labor negotiations coming up. But right now, 162 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 4: this is all permitted under MLB's rules. The Dodgers aren't 163 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: doing anything wrong. They're just excelling at it. And we 164 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 4: can go back and debate. You know, why would Kyle 165 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: Tucker take a four year deal when he had a 166 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: ten year deal on the table. 167 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: Obviously it's because he liked the Dodgers deal a little better. 168 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 3: And he wanted to play in Los Angeles. 169 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: That's the whole point of going to free agency is 170 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 4: you have the right to choose. So the Dodgers have. Yes, 171 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: they're capable of throwing a lot of money. Let's not 172 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 4: downplay the financial aspect of this, but they've also worked 173 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: really hard to make this a premier destination for free 174 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: agents and they continue to do so why are we 175 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: faulting the player for that? 176 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 3: It's allowed in the game, and you know, I'm. 177 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: Not sure how much longer the way that the Dodgers 178 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: operate is going to be allowed, but for right now, 179 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 4: they're not breaking any rules. So that's kind of where 180 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 4: I said on that fans can. 181 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: Be upset about it. I get it. 182 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: I would imagine it's a terrible feeling seeing your team 183 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 4: once again not really feel like they're super competitive, but 184 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 4: not a lot of stopping your ownership group from doing that. 185 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: The Dodgers just have the advantage because they're able to. 186 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 2: Do it. 187 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 5: Big money. 188 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: You keep winning, you can reinvest back into your organization. 189 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: Hey guys, let's get into the fun stuff. There's actual 190 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: things that have to do with the team on the field, 191 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: and how Kyle Tucker fits into the mix, of course, 192 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts, they confirmed yesterday he's gonna be playing right field, 193 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,479 Speaker 1: and Taoscar Hernandez quote excited. 194 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 5: I'm sure he is to move to left field, of course. 195 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: But I think the more fun thing is where Kyle Tucker, 196 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: where that bat fits in the lineup. We've talked about 197 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: this last couple of episodes. Dave Roberts gave us a 198 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 1: little peak behind the curtain of what he's thinking so far. 199 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: Maybe Tucker is hitting second or hitting third through these 200 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: options together for us. 201 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 5: Don't hold it back to it. 202 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: By the way, there's still plenty of time for him 203 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: to decide to change the lineup and how he wants 204 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: to do it. As we've maintained for the last couple 205 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: of episodes, there's no right answer, there's no wrong answer 206 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: as long as you've got Kyle Tucker in that lineup. 207 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: But either of these stick out for you as a 208 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: fun one there, Alana, I. 209 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: Love them all. I mean, it's really not. I mean, 210 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 2: the only difference obviously is the two and three hole, right, 211 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 2: So either way either way for me, I mean, I 212 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: love obviously show Hey leading off to get things going, 213 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: to set that table, but sure I mean, Kyle Tucker 214 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: in the two hole. Okay, Kyle Tucker in the three hole. Great. 215 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: I mean again, I still always, I always marvel at 216 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: the fact that our starting catcher is our cleanup hitter. 217 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that's insane what you're getting from Will Smith 218 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 2: and the production, not to mention everything he does behind 219 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 2: the plane. I don't think he's going to be the 220 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: catcher for the entirety of his tenured term. But you know, 221 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: I'll take him right now. The way that he manages 222 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: that pitching staff and the production that he's given, there's 223 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: no wrong way in terms of that lineup and that order. 224 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 2: And again to your point, Dave Robert says, don't hold 225 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 2: me to it, and Katie, I'm interested what you think 226 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: though about not necessarily the top of the order or 227 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: the meat of the order, but the bottom part of 228 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: the order. Is it enough? 229 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 4: It really comes into question, especially if Tommy Edmund is 230 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: not healthy to start the year, because then you're thinking, Okay, 231 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: Andy po Has is probably going to start in center 232 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 4: field regardless, but if Tommy Edman's not available to play 233 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 4: second base. 234 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: Are you going Andy? And Banya? Is are you going 235 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 3: with Kim? 236 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 4: Are you going with miggey Row and that's where I 237 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 4: think there's one weakness in the lineup. 238 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: It would be that eight to nine spot. 239 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: Now, granted, when your first seven batters in the order 240 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 4: look like that, then maybe you're okay with having a 241 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 4: weaker spot hitting eight or nine. But it brings into 242 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: a good point, especially if Tommy Edmund is not ready 243 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: to go to start the year, on what that would 244 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 4: look like now. Granted, I like the way that the 245 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 4: first line of quint that you had was structured. I 246 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 4: think the Dodgers have a propensity. Dave Roberts has propensity 247 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 4: to go left right, left, right, really make it hard 248 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 4: to match up for opposing managers. Tommy Edmund hitting ninth, 249 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 4: he did that a lot in Saint Louis and he 250 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 4: kind of served as that double leadoff. 251 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: I really like him there. It just again goes back 252 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: if he's healthy or not. 253 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: If not, you know, maybe this is a chance to 254 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: see what Andy Evanyas can do. 255 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: He can rag against lefty, so that's encouraging. 256 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 4: Although the overall ops was low last year, and then 257 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: you know, maybe this is the time where we see 258 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 4: if Kim can get that run that I think Dave 259 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: Roberts have been wanting to see from him, or you know, 260 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: you have Niggie Row there to play the vedrooan and 261 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 4: role look needed. 262 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: But if I'm gonna nitpick, maybe a little concerned about 263 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 3: the power eight or nine. 264 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 4: But again, when you have the power one through seven, 265 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 4: I really don't think there's that much to be concerned about. 266 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, we know they got pop up and down the 267 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 5: line up. 268 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund when he was healthy ish to start last season, 269 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: had a nice power run in there, hit like ten 270 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: homers in the first month and a half or so 271 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 1: or something like that. 272 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 5: But that's not his job. His job just get on base. 273 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: None of these guys really need to be hitting fingers, 274 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: although we know. 275 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 5: Chicks dig the long ball. 276 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: The last thing I'll say on this it does feel 277 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: in both of these lineups I have Freddy Freeman hitting fifth. 278 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: It feels almost criminal to have a future Hall of 279 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: Famer Fredward Freeman batting that low. But that's just what 280 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: you get when you have the amount of talent that 281 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: this ball club has. 282 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 5: You have guys like Freddy Freeman. 283 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's necessarily hitting out of his 284 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: usual spot in the lineup, but you can get away 285 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: with having him hit fifth, and it's not like it's oh, 286 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: I mean, it's weird, but it makes a lot of 287 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: sense because I mean, you don't sign a guy for 288 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars in Kyle Tucker and have him hitting 289 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: fifth or six in the lineup. 290 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 5: So somebody's got to move down the lineup. 291 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: I feel like Freddy Freeman can roll out of bed 292 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: and hit, and Freddy Freeman is also the type of 293 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: guy that doesn't care where he hits in the lineup. 294 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: To me, Freddy Freeman has never had an ego in 295 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 2: this game, and he will if he had one, he 296 00:12:59,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: will check it. 297 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 4: Know. 298 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: I don't, I don't. I don't see anybody on this 299 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: team honestly getting upset as to where they're hitting in 300 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: the lineup. I think most of the guys in this 301 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 2: team understand it's a team game. I really do believe 302 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: that there's a lot of teams out there that aren't 303 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: that way. I mean, look, in my opinion, further down 304 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: the five, I think there's guys in that particular lineup 305 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: with the padres that would be offended if we're going 306 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 2: to move you down in the lineup today because of this, 307 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 2: that and the other thing. So, and I'm not just 308 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: saying it's just the Padres. There are other teams that 309 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: are that way too. There's some pretty big personalities on 310 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: some other teams in the National League. The Dodgers care 311 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: about winning, and I think Andrew Friedman and give him credit, 312 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 2: not just Andrew, but the whole the whole organization. Give 313 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: them credit for bringing in character guys. As I mentioned, 314 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: Trevor Bauer was an offshoot. But there's some pretty good 315 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: people in that clubhouse that want to win and they 316 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: don't care where they hit. And they're all flipping good, 317 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: all of them. So you know, if Kyle Tucker is 318 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 2: going to hit third, so be it. If Will Smith 319 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 2: then needs to be moved down a couple of days 320 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: because he's not feeling it, so be it. And I 321 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: don't think Freddie Freeman carries one iota. Uh you know 322 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: where he's sitting in the lineup. 323 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 5: I'll tell you. 324 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: Book a career high RBIs if he's sitting fifth all season. 325 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 4: We bull prediction. 326 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 3: On dog territory. We'll revisit in October when I'm right 327 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 3: or people and. 328 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: Be like, you were wrong? What's wrong with heree? You 329 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 5: go jump off a bridge? Yeah, that's right. 330 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey guys, we got more Dodger Territory coming up. First, though, 331 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: we got to tell you about our friends at mint Mobile. 332 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: Holidays are over, you might be feeling like you've got 333 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: that big spending hangover the holiday, food, the gifts, I 334 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 2: get it.

Everybody 360 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: else's playing catch up. The Mets have been busy the 361 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: last seventy. 362 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 5: Two hours of loan. Why don't you tell the people 363 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 5: what the Mets have been up to? 364 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: Yes, what an off season that the New York Mets 365 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: have had This week, they've pimited, they've pivoted quickly after 366 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 2: they lost out on Kyle Tucker to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 367 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: and they went and they signed Bobachet, which I love 368 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: that for Bo. I love that kid. I would have 369 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: loved to have seen Bo continue his career and finished 370 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: his career as a blue Jay, it's not to be. 371 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 2: But they turned around and they signed Bobachet. Not only that, though, 372 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: they went out, you guys, and they got Luis Robert Junior, 373 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: who I feel has been in trade talks for fifteen years, 374 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: just as much as Nolan Arnatto was in trade talks. 375 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: So they got him. Great outfielder in terms of terms 376 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 2: of that. I think there's a lot of upside when 377 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 2: it comes to him, and I'm glad that for him 378 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: that he's out of Chicago. And they landed Freddy Peralta, 379 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: who is a top end of the rotation for the 380 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers. He was their ace, you know, after Corbyn Burns, 381 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: who has obviously gone as well. So the New York 382 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: Mets have pivoted and they've landed those three guys. So 383 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: good on the Mets, but you know what they're they're 384 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 2: doing the same thing the Dodgers are doing too. Maybe 385 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 2: not to the same level though with those three signings, 386 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: is this a bit of a volatile roster in terms 387 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: of makeup construction personality. They also added Marcus Simi and 388 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 2: let's not forget Devin Williams of course, quote Hippolanco. I 389 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 2: mean that's that's a pretty good group of guys over 390 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: there in Queens. 391 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 5: Well. 392 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 4: I definitely like this offseason a lot more now for 393 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 4: the Mets than I did at the Winter meetings. 394 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 3: That was a grim time to be a Mets fan. 395 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 4: But I'm looking at their forty man and a couple 396 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 4: of these trades having official or signings, I should say, 397 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 4: but I really like what they're looking at from a 398 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 4: pitching perspective. You know, Freddy Parralta, that's a legitimate arm 399 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 4: that's a frontline starter their Mets. We're looking at There's 400 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 4: gonna be some questions over code I Sanga's health, and 401 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 4: if you're going to compete in the NL East, you 402 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 4: need pitching, especially for the Mets. 403 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 3: Now when you have the offense. 404 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 4: If they have right here, losing pet A Lonzo stinks, 405 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 4: but they go out and they get Boba shitt, they 406 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 4: get stars. And I like the the Luis Robert trade 407 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 4: because it's exactly the type of gamble that a team 408 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 4: like the Mets with an owner like Steve Cohen has or. 409 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: Is should be making. 410 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: You should be able to make those financial gambles when 411 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: you are the Mets. 412 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: And you have that type of ownership. So I like 413 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 3: these moves here. 414 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 4: I really like the Paralta signing or signing not signing 415 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 4: trade because I feel like this is something that the 416 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 4: Mets were looking to do and it kind of puts 417 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 4: a stamp on a week where they were just, I think, 418 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 4: really frustrated by losing Tuckers. So it's definitely a much 419 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 4: much better roster than we were looking at in December. 420 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 4: I think Mets fans feel a little better. They've done 421 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 4: a ton. Now it's just a matter of executing. I 422 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: thought the Mets had a great trade deadline. I thought 423 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 4: they actually won the trade deadline last year, and then 424 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: they had probably one. 425 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: Of the most disappointing second halfs in recent memories. So 426 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 3: they did the work from the off season. 427 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 4: Now it's about executing come March, we'll see how it goes. 428 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, they absolutely raised the floor there at not Chase 429 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: Stadium anymore. I can't forget what it's called right now, 430 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: but anyways, the Mets city field there you go. Always 431 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: give me Chase Stadium anytime I can that that little 432 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: dump out there and flushing. 433 00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 5: They get better. 434 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: And this continues to pull on that thread that we've 435 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: talked about since really since Katie has joined the show. 436 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: The National League getting better, I'll keep saying it. It's 437 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: better for the Dodgers as well. Cubs get better this offseason. 438 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: The Mets now making some moves to raise their floor, 439 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: get a little bit better. 440 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: So I played around. 441 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: I decided to make some power rankings. I want to 442 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: have a little dialogue here. People in the chat agree 443 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: or disagree. This is what I came up with. See 444 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: it on the screen. They're Dodgers number one. Shocker. 445 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 5: I know Dodger Homer right here. 446 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: But Cubs, Mets, Padres, Phillies, Katie, what are your thoughts about. 447 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 5: Where I think the NL stacks up right now? 448 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 3: I like it. 449 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 4: I like that you have the Cubs as kind of 450 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: the dark horse number two. I would switch the Mets 451 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: in the Cubs just from the logistics and the way 452 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: the roster is kind of constructed. 453 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 3: But in my heart I have the same one, two, three, and. 454 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 4: The Padres and Philly is like I think I would 455 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 4: have expected more from San Diego. But again, there so 456 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 4: you can never rule out aj Preller. I might switch 457 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: those two. But the Phillies just kind of seem a 458 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 4: little disappointed after losing Boba Schet because they were so 459 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: so convinced they were gonna get them, And maybe that's 460 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 4: recency bias on my end, So maybe I should go 461 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 4: out and check what they also lost rangers for as 462 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 4: of course, So I'll stick with this, Clint. I'll go 463 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 4: with you from my heart perspective, but I do think 464 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 4: it goes Dodgers Mets Cubs for now. But I really 465 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 4: do like what Chicago did this off season. 466 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Ye, Alana, before we get your thoughts, I was gonna say, 467 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm real tight on the whole Cubs Mets being one 468 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: or two. They are right next to each other. It's 469 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: just the strength or the depth of their starting rotations. 470 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't do it for me like. 471 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 5: They're right there there. 472 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: They are number one, you know, finishing behind the Dodgers. 473 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: But the Dodgers are clear number one in the National League. 474 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: And I guess there's got to be a first runner 475 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: up and it's gonna be either of those teams. 476 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 5: Alana, what do you think about this five? How I 477 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,959 Speaker 5: have them stacked up? 478 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: I think you're splitting hairs, honestly. I mean I said 479 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 2: that you were a homer picking the Dodgers. No you're not. 480 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 2: I mean, anybody that has a sense of what's going 481 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: on in this game and knows the talent level and 482 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: the organ I would imagine they would put Dodgers number 483 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: one to start the season in the National League. In 484 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 2: terms of power rankings, I think the rest are obviously 485 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: incredibly close. I too, would probably put the Mets above 486 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: the Cubs, just because of all the things that we 487 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: just talked about. In terms of their additions, you know, 488 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: getting Freddy Peralta in that trade. I think their bullpen's 489 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: very good. I wonder how much of an impact losing 490 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo is going to have for them, But getting 491 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: Bobaschet's gonna help. I don't know if it's going to 492 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 2: offset it. You know, I don't know if he's going 493 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: to have forty home runs. Probably not. He's not a 494 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: massive home run hitter like Pete Alonzo was, but or is. 495 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: But that's that. I would actually put the Phillies fourth 496 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: and the Padres fifth. I just think that there's so 497 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: much influx with the Padres. I don't know how complete 498 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 2: of a team they are. And I'm not just saying 499 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: that because I'm a Dodgers fan, but listen, I would 500 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 2: not be said. The only surprise I would have is 501 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: if the Dodgers didn't finish first of these five teams, 502 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: that would be the only thing. I go, wow, But 503 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: I mean two to three to four. To move five 504 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 2: up to three, I don't. They're all very similar teams. 505 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: To me, and for me, just outside of this top five, 506 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: the Brewers are always there. They're always lurking. But where 507 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,959 Speaker 1: is their starting rotation? 508 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: Now? 509 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 5: You trade away Freddy Peralta, what are you doing there? 510 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: You got Mizerowski entering his second his first full season 511 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: as a big leaguer. They got what Quinn Priester and 512 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: the rest like. They don't have a starting rotation, even 513 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: though they surprised Baseball leading the National League with ninety 514 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: seven wins last year. I don't see the Brewers doing that, Padres. 515 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: When we had the conversation a week or two ago, 516 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: I was very kind of shocked to look at They 517 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: still are pretty decently. 518 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 5: Stacked breaking bringing back Michael King helps him out a 519 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 5: whole lot. They probably have. 520 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: All of those teams have the deepest outside. The Dodgers, 521 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: of course, have the deepest starting rotation, or least the 522 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: people available to them. 523 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 5: We got. 524 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: Joe Musgrove coming back, You have Michael King In there 525 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: was a Wandi Rodriguez or whatever his name was. They 526 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: have a few starters in there that are pretty intriguing. 527 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 1: That bullpen is still going to be electric, and you 528 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: just need guys, you need Manny Machado to step back 529 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: the f up for that organization, for that team, and 530 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: I think they could be really, really good. 531 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 5: Of course we've already talked about the Cubs. 532 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: You bring in Alex Bregman, you bring in a dude 533 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: who has been there, done that, won that in his career. 534 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: I think that helps them out a lot. But for 535 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: all of those clubs, mainly Cubs Mets, and I'll put 536 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: the screen back up for Cubs, Mets and the Phillies, 537 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: it's can come down to starting rotation for me. But 538 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: still Dodgers far and away. They are the favorites of 539 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: the National League, as they should be. And there is 540 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: a Homer take it as a bias take, but it's 541 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: also a realistic take. 542 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 5: Dodgers are just good. They bought up everybody. Why would 543 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 5: they not be good. 544 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're a good team. We're fortunate to 545 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 2: have an ownership group that puts really good players on 546 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 2: the field. And not only that, though, like reinvests in 547 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: what and the Blue Jays did it too. Give them credit. 548 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 2: I mean that World Series share was no joke of 549 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 2: what that team got, and they immediately reinvested in their club, 550 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 2: as did the Dodgers. You know, all the rest of 551 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: the teams can take a page out of the Dodgers 552 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 2: in the Blue Jays book, and the Mets to a 553 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: certain extent too. But Steve Cohen has more money than God. 554 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 2: So there's that. The Brewers you mentioned, what are they doing? 555 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: This is just kind of a page of what they 556 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 2: always do, right, I mean they did the same thing 557 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 2: with Corbyn Burns. Freddy Peralta has been in trade talks 558 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 2: for quite some time now. The Brewers benefit is that 559 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: they're in the NL Central. I mean, that's how they continue. 560 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: They're in a weak division. I mean I know that 561 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: the Cubs are in there too, and the Cubs are 562 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 2: two in our power rankings right now after signing Alex Bragman, 563 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: and the Cubs are a good team. But the Brewers. 564 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 2: If the Brewers were in the AL East or the 565 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: NL West, they wouldn't have a prayer, you know, in 566 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 2: terms of year in and year round. Okay, yeah, and 567 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 2: you know that's what they do. And not only that 568 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: with Freddy Peralta, but Tobias Myers has gone too. There's 569 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: a lot of upside to Tobias Myers. So the Mets 570 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: are getting two really, really good players. 571 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 3: That's what I think makes the Brewers so good. 572 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: Though, is they have this concept of getting guys that 573 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 4: you've never heard of, and they go out and they 574 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 4: throw quality starts. 575 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: And you can do that in the NL. 576 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 4: Central, especially right now with the Cardinals for a down year. 577 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 4: The Pirates, you know, I keep hearing there on the ride, 578 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 4: I see it and the red they're the Reds, right, 579 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 4: You're really when you're the Brewers only competing against the 580 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 4: Cubs this year in this division, and they are so 581 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 4: good at developing pitching. But them and the Dodgers I 582 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 4: think are maybe the models and how to develop pitching 583 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 4: throughout your pipeline. So they can go out and make 584 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 4: this trade and this Fronti Parla trade is very very Brewers, 585 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 4: And of course David Stearns is going to go out 586 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 4: to an organization that he's familiar with and go get 587 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 4: a player he's very familiar with. 588 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 3: But when you're looking at. 589 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: What the how the Brewers continue to compete and win 590 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 4: the NL Central. It's because they have such a strong 591 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 4: pipeline of guys that just come up and they can 592 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 4: make quality starts and they thrive in the NL Central, 593 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 4: and they have so much depth that they can afford 594 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 4: to make this trade because they know that they can 595 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 4: continue to develop above average starting pitching. And that's really 596 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: all you need to compete in the National League. 597 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 2: I'm not with the. 598 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 4: Heavy hitters, but within your own division, if you can 599 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 4: just continue it to generate starting pitching, you already have 600 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 4: a major advantage over a ton of other clubs, and 601 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 4: we've seen that with Milwaukee year after year. So this 602 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 4: Parlza trade really wasn't all that surprising, Alana, Like he. 603 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: Said, it's just what they do. 604 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: I just love the fact that you brought up a 605 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 2: good point, but I didn't even think about it at the moment. 606 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 2: Of course, David Sterns, I mean he knows I mean, 607 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: who knows Freddy Pearraltza better than David Sterns. So that's 608 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: that's a good point on you. It's like, you know, 609 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 2: you go with what you're familiar with, right and obviously 610 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: Freddy Parolta's and what I like about him and Clinton. 611 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 2: I had this discussion the other day on another show. 612 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 2: Is that he posts. I mean, this is a guy 613 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 2: that you can you can count on that he's going 614 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: to take the ball every fifth day, and he generally 615 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: does a good job. He generally gives you a quality 616 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: start and keeps his team in it to at least 617 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: give you an opportunity to win. So the Mets arguably 618 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: just got better and the Brewers arguably just got worse, 619 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 2: at least for the for the immediate future. You know, 620 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: you don't know what you're going to get in that 621 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 2: trade with the Mets in the future, but for right now, 622 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: the Brewers are worse than they were yesterday. 623 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that felt like something that the Mets very 624 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: desperately needed. They needed to grown up, even if if 625 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: par Aalto's on the younger side, they needed to grown 626 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: up at the top of that rotation. Somebody that can 627 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: go out there posts give you thirty starts, one hundred 628 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: and eighty innings like that goes a long way to 629 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: be able to say we have a de facto ace 630 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: and not hoping somebody like you know, coode Ai Singa 631 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 1: becomes that dude that he was goodness. First year has 632 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: kind of been up and down and around. Giving them 633 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: somebody they know this is our game one starter. 634 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 5: I think that helps them out a whole lot. 635 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 2: Well, there's some baseball stuff happening this weekend, so you know, 636 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: spring training is upon us, guys, because Foul Territory presents 637 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: the one hundred and first annual New York Baseball Writers 638 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: Gala live on YouTube on Saturday.

And Katie Wu just moved to 653 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: Manhattan Beach area to South Bay, and I think she 654 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,719 Speaker 2: needs to walk a dog on the strand. That's all 655 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 2: I'm saying. This is Moose. He's about ten months old. 656 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: He's a good boy. We saved him from the Baldwin 657 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 2: Park euthanasia list where he was going to get killed 658 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: for no reason. He is so happy and healthy. He's neutered. 659 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 2: He's phenomenal with other dogs. He's great with kids.

And you don't know about 685 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: this yet, but so earlier today I had texted a 686 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: gentleman by the name of Clayton Kershaw. I said, Hey, 687 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 2: can you come on our show today, because obviously I 688 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 2: wanted to talk to him about retirement, World Baseball Classic, 689 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 2: becoming a girl, dad times to all the things. He 690 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: texts me back and he says, I'm going to be 691 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: on the golf course. I've already figured out this retirement thing. 692 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: How about that, kirsh Is It didn't take long. Master. 693 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 3: I wonder what it's handicapped. It's probably like a two. 694 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: I listen, he hasn't swung a baseball bat in a while, 695 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: but I remember the baseball swing. It's clunky, it's a 696 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: little it's not smooth, it's not loose. It does not 697 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: remind me of something that would be conducive to a 698 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: good golf swing. But also we're talking about a world 699 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: class athlete here, a Hall of Famer, and. 700 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 2: Fall season, he'll be a two handicap. 701 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: If Jerry Harriston Junior can be good at golf, Clayton Kersher. 702 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 2: He's very good at golf. 703 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 5: I know, I just wanted to. 704 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 2: It's Jerry's credit. If he's on the golf course, he 705 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 2: still comes on the show. 706 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 5: So Clayton shots fired. 707 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: No, No, I would never shoot shoot shots. I would 708 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 2: never fire shots at kersh. Easy for me to say, 709 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: maybe that's something that Kirsch can aspire to coming on 710 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 2: our show from a golf court. 711 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 5: That's difficult. 712 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 1: You can do it, I believe, as you guys can tell, 713 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: this is where we're at. 714 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 2: Our show's over, Like, why did I sign up?
