Seeing a few 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: people who are out at the parade today, my buddy 57 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 1: Zed says good parade stadium was fun. His head hurts, 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: ears are ringing vomit on a sweater already.

Shoe Hayotani pretty 63 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: much saying the same thing last year show. Hey said 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: he wants to celebrate nine more times. He wants nine 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: more rings. We already know Mookie Betts wants to fill 66 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: up that hand, make four of them Dodgers ring and 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: then he can throw away Actually you go back to 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: back two more times or I guess that would be 69 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: four hashtag math baby. I know Jeff's in the chat. 70 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: You get two more rings, you could throw out that 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: Boston ring and then he got five all Dodgers rings 72 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: on his hand, not the podcast, but Dodgers World Series rings. 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, shoe Hayotani says he wants nine more. He's 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: ready for another ring next year. Mookie bets a little 75 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: more soft spoken this year. It feels like some of 76 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: the guys who have been through, who were here for 77 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, that this is now their third ring. They 78 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: weren't as I don't know if it's like excited, but 79 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, it was a lot more of been there, 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: done that. One of the things Max Muntsey said, you know, 81 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: getting pretty comfortable up here. 82 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: I really love that. I do want to talk more 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 2: about months in just a second. 84 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: How about Will Smith, who on the Sportsnet LA part 85 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: of the broadcast over on the bus saying does it 86 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: ever get old? 87 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: Or asked, does it ever get old? 88 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: No? 89 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: I want more. That's the mentality. We want one is 90 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: not enough, Two is not enough, Three. 91 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: Is not enough. 92 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: You want those kids in, you know, making their first 93 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: postseason appearances this year or even second. Somebody like Jessin Rahbleski, 94 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: who was on the roster last year, was not a 95 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: part of the postseason. A bunch of dudes who have 96 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: varying levels I guess of service time with the Dodgers 97 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: and postseason availability. But anyways, it's not about that. I said, 98 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: I want to talk about Muncie and don't worry, we'll 99 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: we'll lock it in here. I want to talk about 100 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Max Munsey, who I don't know, man, I feel like 101 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I feel like he was a little underrated this postseason 102 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: and in this World Series. You look at a three 103 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: hit game in Game seven. Of course, that massive homer 104 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: to give us hope, I said, don't give me hope. 105 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: He gave us hope, and he set up Miguel Rojas 106 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: for that ninth inning prayer, and of course Dodgers eventually 107 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: getting a Will Smith homer. Bob's your uncle, Dodgers win 108 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: the World Series. Good times had by all, except for 109 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays fans played mostly solid defense. But but MONSI, 110 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: he's just been a stalwart he has been a staple 111 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: and I love this. James on the Twitter X whatever 112 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: you want to call it. You know you had that 113 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: elbow injury in twenty twenty one, the final game of 114 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: the regular season and knocked him out for that postseason. 115 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: They tried to hide it. 116 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: They tried to pretend like he'd be okay, like maybe 117 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: he'd be available if they make it to an NLCS. 118 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: Way later learn he has a torn ucl I almost 119 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: you almost forget about the what we expected to be 120 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: a season ending knee injury amid all of the other 121 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: amongst all of the other storylines of this season. Of course, 122 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: suffers that knee injury. What two pitches, three pitchers before 123 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw strikes out his three thousand But I love 124 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: this when when you count him out, he finds a 125 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: way to step up and do something. And Max Munsey, 126 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: friend of the Foul Territory Network, dude has been nails. 127 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: Dude has been an absolute gift for this team. Somebody 128 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: signed off the scrap heap by this this front office, 129 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: by farh anxiety. He still has one more year technically 130 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: sort of under team control. 131 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 2: It is a it is a I. 132 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: Think a mutual option or a team option ten million dollars. 133 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: He's going to be back. We'll have more Munthy conversations. 134 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: So whether or not he should be the starting third baseman, 135 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: we'll have those later on in the off season. Elisheva 136 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: Jones and the chat saying Munsey is incredible. 137 00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: I agree. 138 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: Could you have a better third basement probably, But it's 139 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: not always about the best talent. We know how this 140 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: team wins. Sometimes it's with the guys, it's with the characters. 141 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: It's with people that are willing to sacrifice for them, 142 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: sacrifice themselves for the better part or the better of 143 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: the team, for the good of the team. And Months 144 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: he has been one of those guys. He doesn't care 145 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: about the numbers of the accolades. 146 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: Sure he would. 147 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: Love to be more respected statistically, most likely most likely 148 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: in the game. But the most important thing is the 149 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: admiration and respect of your peers, of your teammates in 150 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: that clubhouse. And Months is that guy. So I wanted 151 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: to make sure we give Months a shout out celebrate 152 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: my friend. Good dude, really really good person is Max Muntsey. 153 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: And I can't wait for the next time he's on 154 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: foul territory or Hey, maybe we finally get him on 155 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: Dodgers territory this offseason when Alana is back from dodging 156 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: elephants in Africa. I had so I did a show yesterday, 157 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: a solo show on my YouTube channel. If you guys saw, 158 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: I'd appreciate you hanging out there. I had even more 159 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: kind of takeaways from the World Series, just you know, 160 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: some things kind of sparked in my brain from the 161 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: we'll say that not so humble Ki k Hernandez today, 162 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: Kik got me thinking a little bit more and he 163 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: had the post, you know, I'm so glad the better 164 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: team didn't win, which is just a great quote because 165 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: there was a a writer or an analyst in Toronto 166 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: who said, like, I don't give a shit the better 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: team did not win. Well, don't give him bulletin, bulletin 168 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: board or you know, social media material because somebody like 169 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: keyk Hernandez. 170 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 2: Will run with it. 171 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: But as we said, as I maintained, the more I 172 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: saw the Blue Jays throughout the course of that World Series, 173 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: they were a good team, a very good team. I've said, 174 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: I've kind of flip flopped back and forth on whether 175 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: or not I don't actually think I ever outright said 176 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: they were the better team. I will say they were 177 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: playing a better brand of baseball for sure at times. 178 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: The times they were playing the worst brand of baseball 179 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: base running it cost them big lely. It cost them dearly, dearly. 180 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: Of course, we're not gonna get too much into the 181 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: Isaiah kinder Falafa situation because he was told by his 182 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: team to stay close to that base, don't get doubled off. 183 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: That comes a night after what's his name barger is 184 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: doubled off at second base to end game six and 185 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: send it to a game seven. 186 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: So some base running. 187 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: Things this organization, that organization clean up a couple of 188 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: guys getting picked off, you know, thinking they're stealing bases, 189 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: but then giving up because they think they're they're walking. 190 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: The Blue Jays were good something Alana and I talked 191 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: about heading into that series. It was gonna be about experience, 192 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: a lot of the experience that Dodgers players had had. 193 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: Not only that, but of course the coaching staff and 194 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: mainly Dave Roberts, who put together like a ninety eight 195 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: percent masterclass of a world series. What the two percent 196 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: are I don't know, maybe show Hey going out for 197 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: the third inning, maybe relying on Blake Trinon one too 198 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: many times, but you don't know until you know, and 199 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: he had opportunities. 200 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 2: But again, Blue Jays were good. 201 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: The Dodgers were able to beat them with two cylinders 202 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: misfiring or more of like a random misfire for my 203 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: car dudes out there or my car people out there. 204 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: At no point did the Dodgers execute a perfect game 205 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: innings one through nine. You can argue that Game two 206 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: was maybe the best game, Yamamoto going nine, but that 207 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: kind of takes it out of the running. For a 208 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: traditional postseason game. You want your bullpen. You want to 209 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: see your bullpen help you out because ideally, if you're 210 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: starting pitcher isn't going nine, he throws for your pitches, 211 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: maybe he's available or less worn out later onto the series, 212 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: we now know Yoshinobu is a different animal. But pitching aside, 213 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: or Game two aside, the lineup struggled to perform consistent 214 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: and keep the line moving. We talked about they built innings, 215 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: they couldn't necessarily finish innings that often, and credit to 216 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays on some of those for sure, I 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: mean looking at some of the plays defensively Dalton Varshow 218 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: is an absolute beast. He is an animal out there 219 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 1: in center field beyond the lineup. The bullpen. We knew 220 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: entering the postseason it was going to be a struggle. 221 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: They gave us a little bit of false hope here 222 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: and there early on in the postseason. But bullpen missing 223 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: Alex Vesia, Evan Phillips, Bruce dark Graderol Tanner, Scott Kirby, Yates, 224 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: Michael Kopek, Brock Stewart, all of these names missing. It 225 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: was a shell of itself, like the only traditional sort 226 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: of bullpen arms you had. And there at least guys 227 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty four were Anthony Bonda, Blake Trindon, and 228 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: they struggled. They struggled mightily, But I'm not mad at them. 229 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: They gave themselves. They gave their arms to this team 230 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,359 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. It was the starting rotations opportunity 231 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: to kind of give a little payback for the bullpen. 232 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: So it's a wash next year. 233 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: Hopefully the starting rota or sorry, the lineup could help 234 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: out and just make everything easy for everybody. A nice 235 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: balance of starting pitching, bullpen, YadA, YadA, and then you 236 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: have a three Peet. But even with all the things 237 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: that ostensibly went wrong, the Dodgers were still able to 238 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: outlast the Blue Jays. Like I talked about a number 239 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: of times this postseason or that postseason, it's the off 240 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: season now, welcome to the party. It took a lot 241 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: of plays to get there, though. It took a lot 242 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: of plays for this Dodgers team to get there. I 243 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: loved this JJ lamb o six on the Twitter machine 244 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: thinking about a few of those from all across a series, 245 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Game three in particular, that eighteen eighting games. Tommy Edmond 246 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: has the error early, but he also had he was 247 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: part of that relay. 248 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: He was a part of. 249 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: The throw to third that bounced off of Freddy Freeman's glove. 250 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: Kershaw getting his job done in this postseason, He got 251 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: his job done. Miguel Rojas being inserted in that lineup 252 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: another notch in Dave Roberts's belt. There, Miguel Ross with 253 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: bare hand put out, Andy pater has steam, Roland Key 254 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: k hernandez Otani having himself some games. 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: Kik ending that Game six. 256 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: With a double play, three solo homers in Game seven 257 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: to make to give the Dodgers the win, to give them, 258 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, the repeat there, and of course Yoshinobu Yamamoto. 259 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: It was a team effort, and that's really cool. Sometimes 260 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: you see in the postseason, sometimes you see in World 261 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: Series one guy just kind of takes over, and that's fun, 262 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: that's cool. We saw Corey Seeger do that in twenty twenty. 263 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: You've seen other guys do it insert name here. I mean, 264 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: Freddy kind of took over in twenty twenty four with 265 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: four Homers, a whole bunch of ribbies. But this was 266 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: a team effort, every bit of it. Is it the 267 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: type of team effort that makes us feel good, that doesn't. 268 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: Raise heart rate? 269 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: No, No, we all need to kind of still breathe 270 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: and relax and chill, and me being a little sick 271 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: right now. It's it's sometimes not the best idea to 272 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: breathe deeply. But all of that to put together here, 273 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: we are back to back World Series champions, and I 274 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: say we because we are along for the ride the 275 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: entire way, and we're primed to do it again.

Just 325 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: kind of let him, you know, be be a be 326 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: a man, go be a husband, go be away from 327 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: the team. He knows this was for him. He doesn't 328 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: need some sort of big show or display from the team. 329 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: So he feels validated. He is very validated by this team. 330 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: But beyond that, it's the final time we see Clayton 331 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: Kershaw in a Dodgers uniform coming off of an active season. 332 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: Yes he will he better, He will be back next 333 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: year for the ring ceremony, But just some love for 334 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: twenty two. Great speech Alton Gonzalez with the quote here, 335 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: who covers the course of the team for ESPN amongst 336 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: other teams in the National League or baseball as a whole, 337 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: Neil last year we all remember Clayton says I said 338 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: I was. 339 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 2: A Dodger for life. 340 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: Today that's true, and today I get to say I'm 341 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: a champion for life. That's never going away, He goes 342 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: out on top. It's what we wanted, It's what we 343 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: all wanted for twenty two and I am so damn 344 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: happy for the man. Got some super chats, Jose ayala 345 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: two dollars. Appreciate you, says a lot of called it. 346 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: She promised the Dodgers would be okay, and I had 347 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: a text or tweet conversation with somebody about that earlier today. 348 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: She said everything's gonna be great. She told us that 349 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: a number of times, and back in my head, I 350 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 1: was like, quit lyon, bro, what's going on here? 351 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 2: But she was right. She nailed it. 352 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how okay we all feel coming off 353 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: of it again, but thank god we got to this point. 354 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: Francisco with a couple of super chats as he does, 355 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: we appreciate. Francisco says, Dodgers definitely need to shore up 356 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: the outfield, both sides of the ball. 357 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: My dream is signing King Tuck. I was from Kyle. 358 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 1: Tucker there of course, to play right field, put the 359 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: Taoe experience back in left field and not reminding a 360 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: Bellinger reunion. Depending on the money getting ahead of me there, 361 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: getting ahead of me. Francisco, he also has four ninety 362 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: nine Superchat. Also, multiple relievers are pending free agents. The 363 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: dream would be possible long long lost cousin Edwin. Of course, 364 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: Edwin Dia is a free agent. We'll get into that 365 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: in just a minute. Robert Suarez also opted out of 366 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: his deal with the same the Neo Padres, So tell 367 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: you more about the turmoil going on down there in 368 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: San Diego. 369 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: And also Steve Speeder built five Bucks. 370 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: As we all just saw MLB's version of Ali versus Fraser, 371 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers came out on top. 372 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 2: So many great moments. 373 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: On both Sides's greatest series ever, really really good series, 374 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: and something that's worth a watch party down the road. 375 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: I'll say that much, all right, I've a buried the 376 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: lead on this a good amount. I said I wanted 377 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: to talk about free agency, and I said I wanted 378 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: to talk about this team getting better, which they're gonna do, 379 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it now. In what should be 380 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: a semi recurring off season segment, First World Problems. Look 381 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: at that, it's like Alana was here the whole time, 382 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: or maybe Alana was the friends we made along the way, guys, 383 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: in case you missed it, After the final out was 384 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: recorded for the World Series A seven Dodgers. Seven Dodgers 385 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: became free agents. Michael Conforto, I know, everybody, hold your 386 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: applause Andrew Heeney, keyk Heine, Key k Hernandez, Clayton Kershaw, 387 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: Miguel Rojas, Kirby Yates also holds your applause for Kirby. 388 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: Of course, we know Clayton retired, Confordo will not be back, 389 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: Heene will not be back, Yates likely not back. But 390 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: the big names there on that list are Miguel Rojas 391 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: and Key k Hernandez. And already seen a few people 392 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: in the chat bring it up. You gotta bring back 393 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 1: Key K. You gotta bring back Key K. Between the 394 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: two personally, I lean, if if you had to pick one, 395 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: I think I might lean Miguel Rojas. And that's not 396 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: an indictment. That's not a slap in the face to KEYK. 397 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: I think Mickey Road just kind of brings more over 398 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: the course of one sixty two plus the postseason. As 399 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: where Kik, well, you know he doesn't necessarily always care. 400 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: I don't know if he doesn't always care, but Poe 401 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: regular season isn't isn't necessarily his strong suit. But Miggey 402 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: Rowe has made it known he wants to play one 403 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: more year. There's been conflicting reports about it, but he 404 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: told my buddy Doug McCain he wants to play one 405 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: more year. He wants it to be with the Dodgers, 406 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: and I do I do think he'll be back. I 407 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: think they'll come together on something pretty quickly. It makes 408 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: an abundance of sense for for Mickey row to be 409 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,479 Speaker 1: back with this organization. There's already a niche, a niche, 410 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: a spot on the roster carved out for him in 411 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: a utility role, and somebody who ends up playing a 412 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: good amount of probably second, some third, maybe a little. 413 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: Bit of shortstop. 414 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: And for those who were probably gonna eventually ask in 415 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 1: the back, yes, Mookie Bets is gonna be your starting 416 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: shortstop next year because you're not gonna go out. They're 417 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 1: not gonna sign Boba Schett, and they're not gonna put 418 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: him at shortop because he's not that good of a shortstop. 419 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts straight robbed in my opinion on the gold Glove, 420 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: but that's a different argument there. Yeah, Miguel Rojas just 421 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: just fits this team, fits the needs. So well, moving 422 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty six, we'll talk more about that MOREY 423 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: get more into the why about that in a second, 424 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: But Keik, let's talk about Kik. 425 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: He's gonna be in that conversation for sure. I love Kik. 426 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: I think he makes so much chense for this team 427 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 1: in a number of more of the spiritual ways than 428 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: necessarily the roster ways, but the roster ways, he's also 429 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: very good. He's a good defender in the outfield, in 430 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: the infield. He has filled in at third base admirably 431 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: when he is needed. He has shown time and time 432 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: again his importance to this team. But again, also the 433 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: regular season struggles are getting worse. The numbers keep declining 434 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: for Kik when it comes to the regular season, And yeah, Hohn, 435 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: the Dodgers are going to make it to the postseason. 436 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: But to survive that again or maybe you get a 437 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: little bit of help or maybe I don't know, just 438 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: not having something close to a black hole in your 439 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: lineup might help you over the course of one sixty two. 440 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 2: For both of those. 441 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: Guys, maybe mainly Key k it might come down to 442 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: what the second base plan is gonna be. You do 443 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: have hesse on Kim do they want to, you know, 444 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: buy into him as an everyday second baseman. Do they 445 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: want to use him as more of a utility guy. 446 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: Does Tommy Edmond play more second base or more outfield 447 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: if you're not active in the outfield market at the 448 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: in free agency or via trade or however it works. 449 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: Does does Tommy Edmin maybe play more of a Chris 450 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: Taylor type of role where he plays anywhere he's needed, 451 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: but not necessarily having a position. You also have to 452 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: wonder if he's gonna have ankle surgery this offseason, which 453 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: could affect his availability to play outfield early on next year. 454 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: But seeing Eli Chevin want Edmond at second base, I 455 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: think I think it makes a lot of sense for 456 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 1: him to be the second basement, especially if you're gonna 457 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: go out and get yourself an outfielder. There are certainly 458 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: some outfield that you can try to trade for or 459 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: that you can try to sign. Yes, at some point 460 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: we'll talk a whole bunch about Kyle Tucker today is 461 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: probably not today other in house options for the Dodgers, 462 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: more so specifically talking about the bench side of things, 463 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: which is where Miggy Row or Key Key Hernandez would. 464 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 2: Generally slot in. 465 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: You have Alex Freeland, who we saw maybe make his 466 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: debut this season. Last season, how you want to say it, 467 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: he's on the roster, did not exactly light things up 468 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: when given that opportunity. I don't know how much I 469 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: buy into Alex Freeland as a guy they anoint as 470 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: somebody on the twenty six man roster heading into opening day. 471 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,680 Speaker 1: Maybe he's more of a break in case of emergency 472 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: when there is an injury or something like that. 473 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: But he is around. At least he is forty man 474 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: roster filler. That's important for him. 475 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: Another guy that's in the organization that's probably the closest. 476 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: To making some sort of impact is Noah Miller. He 477 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 2: is a glove first shortstop. 478 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: Played at Triple A, hit two thirds eight there and 479 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: I think it was fewer than seventy games this year. 480 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 1: He's not a hitter. He's not a hitter. Very good shortstop, 481 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: very good glove, very good arm. 482 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: End of list. 483 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: So keyk coming back on another team friendly deal along 484 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: with McGough Rojas, bring yourself some competition into spring training. 485 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way the Dodgers go again. Selfishly, the 486 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 1: fan in me would love to have the boys back together. 487 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: You try to run it back. 488 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: But this is a club, this is a front office 489 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: that always tries to find a way to get better. 490 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: And if you can get somebody who is just leaps 491 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: and bounds better than either of those guys, hey, I 492 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: would prefer they go that route. If we're being honest, 493 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the biggest Dodgers need this offseason. 494 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: Everybody we already know. We talked about it in that 495 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: Super chat a minute ago. 496 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: It's the outfield. It's one hundred percent. It's one hundred 497 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: and fifty percent going to be the outfield. The big names, 498 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: of course, Kyle Tucker, We're gonna hear a lot about him. 499 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger opted out of his deal with the New 500 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: York Yea the Yankees today intriguing peace and I am 501 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: somebody if you guys have watched me for a while, 502 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: you know I'm not somebody who cares about bringing guys 503 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: back for the sake of bringing back, you know, bringing 504 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: them back. But at this point, maybe Cody Bellinger does 505 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: make a reasonable amount of sense for this team next year. 506 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: Somebody who can you know, play some right field, play 507 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: some left field. He's not necessarily a center fielder anymore. 508 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 1: But he could probably slot in there if you need to. 509 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: But somebody who's gonna hit five, six or seven in 510 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: the lineup. You think he's grown by now, You think 511 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: he's kind of changed. He's a veteran, he's played for 512 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: a couple of different organizations. Maybe he's more willing to 513 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: listen to hitting coaches and get some different thoughts on 514 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: his swing. But I think he's also found his game 515 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons with the Dodgers. Of course, 516 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,120 Speaker 1: he was trying to come back from that shoulder injury, 517 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: this older surgery. He was trying to get back to 518 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: being that dude he was in twenty nineteen, who he 519 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: never was going to be. 520 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: That's not who he was. 521 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: Somebody closer to who he is is the twenty eighteen 522 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: version of Cody Bellinger, not necessarily the seventeen. 523 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: Or the nineteen version. Those are outliers. Prove me wrong. 524 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: Cody, come back to LA and prove me wrong. But 525 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: I don't hate Cody Bellinger because this is one of 526 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: the reasons where we're gonna have a lot of debate 527 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: this offseason about people wanting Kyle Tucker. Yes, he is 528 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: the sexiest free agent name that is out there one 529 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: hundred percent. But he's also going to command a lot 530 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: of money for a lot of years. And the Dodgers 531 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: have some prospects, some really really good prospects that aren't 532 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 1: necessarily super close, but aren't very far away. Some pundits 533 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: think that. 534 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 2: Josuay Depaula could maybe. 535 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: You know, make his debut next year, could at least 536 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: get a cup of coffee. He's got some slug, he's 537 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,360 Speaker 1: got some pop. Far from a finished product, I don't 538 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: know if you want to go into a season expecting 539 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: somebody who is not a finished product to eventually end 540 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: up being an everyday guy by the end the end 541 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: of the season or something like that. 542 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: So this is where I think. 543 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: It's important to have somebody who is a filler, a 544 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: stop gap. Doesn't need to be a long term or 545 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: a short term. I'm not looking at like another Michael 546 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: Conforto because he could f all the way off, with 547 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: all due respect World Series Champion Michael Confordo, but Cody 548 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: Bellinger reunion man, it doesn't not make sense to me. 549 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be able to maybe get got on 550 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: a three year deal. We know that his agent's got 551 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: Boris loves money and he doesn't care where it's coming from. 552 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: So that means that the relationship with the Dodgers is 553 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: all hunky dory. 554 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: He is fine, he has no issues. 555 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's stupid to sit here and say I would 556 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: take Cody Bellinger over Kyle Tucker, which I'm not in 557 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: a vacuum one hundred percent not, But when you're looking 558 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: at it, laying every thing out, I don't know how 559 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: I feel about committing to another ten years of an outfielder, 560 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: or ten years of another player or whatever Kyle Tucker's 561 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: gonna end up getting. So it's worth mentioning the Dodgers 562 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: are gonna have the money to land Kyle Tucker. They 563 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: print money, they invent money. We understand that doesn't really matter, 564 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: but they'll have the money to land him. My buddy, 565 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: Cody Snavely, who comes Dodgers for Dodgers beat on the 566 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: internet mentioning with just the guys that are coming off, 567 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: you know, coming off the roster and free agency, there 568 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: fifty four million, almost fifty five million dollars coming off 569 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: the books for the Dodgers. They're not gonna decline those options. 570 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: On Muncie and Vesia so disregard that much. But you know, 571 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: the expectations are Kyle Tucker might be a thirty to 572 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: thirty five million dollar a year type of dude, which, yeah, 573 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: Dodgers can do that, no big deal. And then all 574 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 1: of a sudden you have a really good, really good 575 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: problem on your hand with if host way to Paul 576 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: ends up coming up tearing the cover off of the ball, 577 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: that just means Andy Paez needs to be really really 578 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: good or he's gonna lose his spot, or Taeoscar Hernandez 579 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: figures it out or gets traded with a year or 580 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: a year and a half left on his contract or whatever. 581 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: It's a boy creating, you know, creating competition. That's the 582 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: only way this team gets better is by creating competition. 583 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 1: But that's just sort of I don't want to dive 584 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: too much more into it. I don't think the Dodgers 585 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: will be very active on the pitching side of the market. 586 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: The starting rotation for next year is already really really 587 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: f and stacked with the guys returning. Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, 588 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: Tyler Glasnow will be in there. Roki Sasaki should get 589 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: another shake at the starting rotation. Gavin Stone should be 590 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: back and available. I'm probable. I'm definitely forgetting other names. 591 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: River Ryan will be around and available as well. Show hey, Watani, 592 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: come on down. You will be available in the starting 593 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 1: rotation as well. They're gonna be pretty well stacked. Kyle 594 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: Hurt also should be a bullpen option, but they will 595 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: have pitching options on the bullpen side. Maybe you sign 596 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: a couple of stopgap dudes, something like Ross Strippling mentioned 597 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: to me when he joined us after the Dodgers won 598 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: the World Series, saying, you know some of those the 599 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: kind of journeyman dudes, your Will Klein's whatever, you're Evan 600 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: Phillips types of dudes. Finding those guys supplementing him on 601 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: the roster, they will, they won't spend a lot of money. 602 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: There will not be another Tanner, Scott or Kirby eight 603 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: signing this coming off season. But I don't know that's 604 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: about it. I I appreciate you guys hanging out with me. 605 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: Went a lot longer. I apparently I had a lot 606 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: more to say by myself today. I appreciate you guys 607 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: hanging out with me.

It is not 615 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: a cheap job, and Lady is somebody you can help. 616 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: There's also a bunch of other critters.

There are so 623 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: many beautiful dogs, well trained, well taken care of dogs 624 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: available for adoption. And also, of course they're always looking 625 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: for donations.
