Make sure you guys like us, 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: subscribe to give us five stars all of the things, 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: not only on the YouTube machine, but also wherever you 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: get your podcasts. All right, my friend, let's get into 17 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: the big ticket. 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:55,959 Speaker 3: Let's do it. 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: All right, So we're not going to start. 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: With Dodgers news, but it kind of trickles down to 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: the Dodgers. Right, Let's talk about the Los Angeles Angels 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 1: of Anaheim. If you will, and I'm signing signing you say, 23 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: Kakuchi to a supposed sixty three million dollar deal that's 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: over the course of three years. John Hayman reporting that 25 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: it's twenty million dollars a year should boost the fortunes 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: of frontline pitching comp's, most notably Sean Manaya, who obviously 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: is no longer with the Mets. I mean he could 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: go back there, but he's not beholden to them anymore. 29 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: But likely also Severino Flaherty of all the Paveda, Bueler, Buehler, Snell, Burns, 30 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: and Freed will be well above of course, So let's 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: talk about that how this affects the Dodgers, because obviously, Clint, 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: the Angels are not in the Dodgers' division. We know 33 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: that they're not even in the same league, but they 34 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: are rivals, correct, I mean figuratively and literally not in 35 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: the same league. So let's talk about how this, God 36 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: bless you, my friend, how this may affect But chain 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: is this this type of deal you think Walker Bueler 38 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: will get three years, sixty three million seems a little 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: bit steep in your estimation for Walker. 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 4: No, this is this is definitely not the realm that 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: Walker is looking for. I don't even think that he 42 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 4: would he would want a deal in that range right now, 43 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 4: like like three years. I think what we're kind of expecting, 44 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 4: and we've talked about it a decent amount here in 45 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 4: the offseason so far, here in the show, of course 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 4: on my show as well. Buehler, I can't see a 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: world where he doesn't do some sort of one and 48 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 4: one type of contract. Maybe it's one year, fifteen to 49 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 4: eighteen million dollars with some incentives and some sort of 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 4: mutual option. 51 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: You know, he's still. 52 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: Gonna get in a best case scenario, maybe he's getting 53 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 4: somewhere in like a twenty five million dollar range. Because 54 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: let's not forget Walker Buehler when he was healthy. You know, 55 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty one was very good. He finished second 56 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: in Cy Young Award voting there in the National League. 57 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 4: You saw what he did in the postseason when he's right, 58 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 4: like he told us, well, he indirectly told everybody at 59 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 4: Mookie Bett's house drunk off his ass parting for the 60 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 4: World Series. After the fact, he said, right now, well, 61 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: his voice was the more messed up, but I'm a problem. 62 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 4: Right now Walker is feeling good. This is a new 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: version of Walker Buehler, and you know he's thirty now. 64 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: He ultimately you need to have a one year kind 65 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: of prove it deal so he can go out there 66 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 4: and try to get himself a bag. 67 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: Because let's go back, if he was a. 68 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 4: Free agent after the twenty twenty one season, there's a 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: fair chance he's looking at a two hundred million dollar deal. 70 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: I mean, that's the type of picture that Walker Buehler 71 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: was from when he first stepped foot in that Dodger 72 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 4: starting rotation up through that twenty one season. 73 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: He wants to get back to that. 74 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 4: We know Walker wants to be viewed as one of 75 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: the best pitchers in baseball. So great deal for Kakuchi. 76 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 4: I don't know what the Angels are trying to do. 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: I appreciate Ken Rosenthal on Fair Today talking about what 78 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: the hell the Angels are trying to do, and nobody 79 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: really knows, but they're paying that Angel tax a little bit. 80 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: To try to get some try to get some players. 81 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 4: But Walker is going to get a one year, proven 82 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: deal and hopefully it's with the with the you know, 83 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: the LA Dodgers. Do you think this is a type 84 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: of move though that could affect maybe the Dodgers thinking 85 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 4: or maybe reset the market a little bit higher than 86 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 4: we were at anticipating at this point in the in 87 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,119 Speaker 4: the winter. 88 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's remember that they did not offer Walker Bueler 89 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: qualifying offer, which would have been twenty one point five 90 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: million or whatever it was. So I do think that 91 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: Walker Viueler wants a multi year deal. The Dodgers are 92 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: not going to give him a multi year deal at 93 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty one million a year. But that being said, look 94 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: at what Tayoscar Hernandez did. I mean, tey Oscar Hernandez 95 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: bet On himself took a one year deal, wanted to 96 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: be in LA, wanted to play with a contender, and 97 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: he could very much parlay that into something special. So 98 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: maybe Walker does take like a one year, twenty three 99 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: twenty four million dollar deal and then he can parlay 100 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: that into something bigger. I do think though, that Walker 101 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: wants to stay in LA, right, so perhaps they can 102 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: work something out that. Maybe it's not a you know, 103 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: a three year, four year deal, But what do you 104 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: think if you're putting on your GM hat, Okay, what's 105 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: your limit in terms of money and years to bring 106 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: him back, knowing they have Clint other business to take 107 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: care of. It's not just a Walker Buehler frontline starter issue. 108 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean even though this team won the World Series, right, 109 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: you can always get better, and not every single person's 110 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: coming back. So if you're bringing Walker back, what are 111 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: you bringing him back under? 112 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: Again? 113 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 4: I think it's got to be fair to both sides, 114 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 4: and it's a one year deal, something where if he 115 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 4: proves it, if he's kind of that Walker of old 116 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 4: or whatever the new version of Walker Buehler is in 117 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: the regular season, then he wants something where he can 118 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 4: go out and get himself a whole bunch of money 119 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: for a whole bunch of years next winter. But right now, 120 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 4: you got a few names out there for you, you know, 121 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: upper echelon pitchers with Corbyn Burns, with Blake Snell just 122 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 4: below him, in my opinion, is like. 123 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: A Max Freed. 124 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 4: So if Walker wants to come back, I think it's 125 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: going to be something where, again, it's going to mean 126 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 4: that fifteen to eighteen range with some incentives that can 127 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: get it somewhere closer to you know, twenty one, maybe 128 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 4: twenty three, twenty five or something like that. The Dodgers 129 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 4: will pay, but they just want to make sure. I 130 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: think both sides want to make sure that there's some 131 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 4: protection built in there. We've seen the Dodgers. Do you 132 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: know the incentive kind of laden contracts in the past, 133 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 4: last last year with James Paxton, I think Kershaw, you know, 134 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 4: had one opted out of his his twenty twenty three 135 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 4: or didn't take the option or whatever. 136 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: Point is. 137 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 4: Walker wants to come back, I think wherever he goes 138 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 4: and the ends up being a one year deal with 139 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 4: an option. 140 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: Obviously, everyone's kicking the tires on everybody that's a free agent. 141 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's a rumor that there's mutual interest between 142 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: Walker Rueler and the New York Yankees, which would be 143 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: ironic considering he you know, recorded the final out against 144 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: the New York Yankees in the World Series, the greatest 145 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: moment ever for him, like outre outstretched arms, like I 146 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: am still here, I am back. Whatever it was. Walker 147 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: Rueler has never le confidence, certainly. But you know what, 148 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: you and Scott had a great conversation the other day 149 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 1: about what it's. 150 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: Going to take, actually you and Jeff Spiegel. 151 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: Rather I apologize about the state of the staff for 152 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Dodgers, assuming that Walker's not part of 153 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: it next year.

When you come to 176 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: the starting pitching because yeah, I'm gonna throw that graphic 177 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: back up because there's a lot of names on there. 178 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 4: There's absolutely a lot of names, but there are more 179 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: question marks. And when you're looking at some of this 180 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 4: new Gavin Stone out for the season, Kyle Hurt will 181 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 4: be out for the season, River Ryan most likely out 182 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: for the season. And when he gets to depth, and 183 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 4: we know how baseball works, you need a whole bunch 184 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 4: of depth to make it through one hundred and sixty 185 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 4: two games. And Yamamoto had the shoulder issue. Glass now 186 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: again didn't even finish the season. No Tani now probably 187 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: not ready for opening day. Gonsolin is somebody I talked 188 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 4: about on my channel on Friday. I wonder if a 189 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 4: lot of us are kind of sleeping on Tony Gonsolin. 190 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 4: He was an All Star in twenty twenty two. But 191 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 4: to imagine right now entering opening day with Tony Gonsolin 192 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: is your number three guy there, It's just it's not 193 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 4: a very comforting feeling knowing that he's there. He had 194 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 4: you know, he's coming off Tommy John Uh, Dustin May 195 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: in that mix, and he's coming off of everything. 196 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: Apparently he needs to learn how to chew a little 197 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 3: bit more. Whatever the story was, they need to add. 198 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: The philsoph will get you every time. You got to 199 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: watch that thing. Got to be very careful with the esophagus. 200 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 4: And yeah, so this is the point where you're at though, 201 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 4: you need to add some arms. I'm hoping it's Blake Snell. Uh. 202 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: You know you got some trade routes. 203 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 4: We know people looking at the thumbnail of people looking 204 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 4: at the titleist video, people watching any content right now. 205 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 4: We know the Dodgers are going to be busy. We 206 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,359 Speaker 4: know they're talking just about everybody. 207 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: Uh. 208 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 4: We've seen the reports and rumors, and we'll get into 209 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: rumors more rumors and just a little bit. But we 210 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 4: know they're in on snow. Uh, They're they're in on 211 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: burns and all that. 212 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: And they have a. 213 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 4: You know, firm understanding. They they have a better version 214 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: of this sheet that we do, and they understand that 215 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 4: they need one more frontline guy and probably a little 216 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 4: bit more depth to make it through and try to 217 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 4: go back and repeat. And and you know, if I'm 218 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 4: a Dodger fan right now, which i am, I'm sitting 219 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 4: here watching the Angels kind of make the first big 220 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 4: splash of the off season. 221 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 3: I don't know. 222 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: I want to see the Dodgers start to do something. 223 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you got some guys that need to come back, 224 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: Tao Blake trying and out what's going on here? 225 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: What do you think? 226 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 4: I mean, we know Andrew Friedman, he's going on on 227 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 4: vacation right now. Are things going to start picking up 228 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: next week? And just before that the. 229 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Winter Death Like every other Winter meetings, I think that 230 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: Juan Soto and Scott Boris hold the cards once that, 231 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: once that domino falls, and all the other dominoes will 232 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: start to fall. But before we listen, what we just 233 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: that list that we just put up is not including 234 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: anybody that Andrew Freeman is going to sign. Okay, it's 235 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a better starting pitching staff and really a 236 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: starting staff all the way through to the end of 237 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: the bullpen, better than what that graphic suggests. 238 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned the Angels. 239 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: We mentioned him a couple of times because of Kakuchi 240 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 1: and by the way, Kenny Chunk saying things that Couldkuchi 241 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: is a fifteen million dollar type of pitcher. I kind 242 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: of agree with that, but for whatever reason, good for him. 243 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: He got twenty one million. As far as that is concerned. 244 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the Angels for a hot second, 245 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: because regardless of the fact that, again they're probably not 246 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: going to be that competitive in the Al West, they're 247 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: not going to be the same type of team as 248 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, they're at least spending some money. And I 249 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: kind of feel like the Angels are taking a page 250 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: out of what the Kansas City Royals did a couple 251 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: of years ago. Right, you lose a hundred games and 252 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: in the offseason you actually spend some money. 253 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: What a novel concept? Ownership crazy. 254 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: You spend some money, and then you start to win 255 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: some games, you know, and you get you know, you 256 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: almost get you know deep, you know, into the postseason 257 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: or whatever. You have some really good players to build 258 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: a team around. Alla Bobby wit Junior. I'm a little 259 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: surprised that they let Brady Singer go, But whatever, the 260 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: point is, the Angels are spending money like the Royals 261 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: did a couple of years ago. 262 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: So if you look at. 263 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: What they've done, not only are they getting Kakuchi, but 264 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: they got Travis Darno. Again, I'm not saying these are 265 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: high level talented players, but they're sufficient players. 266 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: Okay, they got Kyle Hendricks from the Cubs. They got 267 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: Now they've got a couple. 268 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got a couple of other guys. So they've 269 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: got about five or six signings right now in the 270 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: off season. Does this change your opinion of the Angel's 271 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: ability to compete in twenty twenty five. I know you 272 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: love this team with all your heart. 273 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 4: No, listen, it depends on your definition of compete. You know, 274 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: there's there's a Dodgers definition of compete, which is go 275 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 4: out there and grind and give your team, you know, 276 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 4: five or six innings. And then there's the Angels definition 277 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 4: of compete, which is, hopefully you can get to a 278 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 4: five hundred record, you know, by the time you get 279 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: through one hundred and sixty two. I'll say this, I 280 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: love shitting on the Angels whenever I get a chance to. 281 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: I appreciate GM Perrimanesi and working with what he is 282 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 4: able to work with, working with what Artie Moreno is 283 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 4: allowing him to do. 284 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: Because Artie Moreno. 285 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 4: God awful lower, terrible person when it comes to owning 286 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 4: a baseball club. But he's actually having an opportunity, he's 287 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: getting a chance to make some moves, do something to 288 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 4: make that club a. 289 00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 3: Little bit better. 290 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 4: I love the Darnault addition for them because they got 291 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 4: a young catcher there and Logan o'hoppy that needs a 292 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 4: veteran leader to kind of guide him through. They added 293 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 4: another guy, former Dodger farmhand Ryan Noda, maybe play some 294 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 4: first base. They're not committing. They're not even committing to 295 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 4: mister Hollywood himself, mister Hollywood Lifestyle Anthony Rendon. They're saying, hey, 296 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 4: you got to come in and earn a job. So 297 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,719 Speaker 4: maybe there's a little bit of a change of the 298 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 4: guard there. But to the question like, are the Angels 299 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 4: a serious ball club right now? 300 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 3: Not yet? Not yet? 301 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: All right? 302 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: That's fair, all right.

Another another fire graphic from. 328 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: Like You're It's like Jaguars changing their logo. Look at 329 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: Bleeding Blue changing their logo too. Nicely done there. All right, 330 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: let's talk about the extratension talks with Yeah, Dodger talk 331 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: with Tommy Edmund. I mean this makes sense right minus 332 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: my brain part. The other day when I said we 333 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: should send him to the moon. John Morosi tweeting this 334 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: earlier hearing the Dodgers have had preliminary dialogue with Tommy 335 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: Edmund's camp about a contract extension. 336 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: He is due to be a free agent after twenty 337 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: twenty five. Why not? I mean, why not lock him 338 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: up now? 339 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: Clinp I mean, I think this is a guy that 340 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: obviously is incredibly versatile, he can play all over the place. 341 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: He's from California, He's obviously incredibly gifted. Why not lock 342 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: him up now? And perhaps you have him for a 343 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: longer term deal. And maybe this is the post CT era. 344 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I believe that Chris Taylor has one more 345 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: year before he's a free agent, so maybe maybe they're 346 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: looking beyond that. 347 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the time to start looking, you know, 348 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 4: beyond twenty twenty five. And I think that's exactly what 349 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 4: this team is doing, with this front office is doing. 350 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: Tommy Edmund was a guy that this front office in 351 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 4: particular identified as you know, a piece they wanted on 352 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 4: their roster for quite some time. Finally able to land 353 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 4: that deal last year, and we saw the fit. We 354 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 4: saw the fit. It worked so well. Tommy Edmund Dodgers 355 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 4: just a match made in heaven. So to be able 356 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: to get some sort of contract extension going, whether it's two, three, 357 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: four years, whatever it is, he's he's in a prime, 358 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 4: prime age. To keep him around, keep him locked up. 359 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 4: We know he can play a very solid shortstop. He's 360 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: a Gold Glove Award winner at second base. He can 361 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 4: play a phenomenal center field as well, an area where 362 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: you are super thin as an organization. So to have 363 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 4: him and I like what you said there the idea 364 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: that this is sort of potentially the changing of the 365 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: guard in the Key k Hernandez CT three utility era. 366 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: You could be if they bring back Keik, which is 367 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: another guy we haven't really. 368 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 4: Talked a whole lot about. I believe they do need 369 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 4: to bring back Kyk. But Chris Taylor now somebody with 370 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 4: one year left on that deal. If there's a club 371 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: that needs a veteran that's kind of been there, done that, 372 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: maybe this is a time where they start trying to 373 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: figure out a trade in some sort of offset of 374 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: bad contracts or whatever. But next year will be the 375 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 4: final year at most will be the final year of 376 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: Chris Taylor and Dodger Blue and hopefully, you know, the 377 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: second year of a long, long partnership between the Dodgers 378 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 4: and Tommy edmund But I love, I love the idea 379 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 4: that love and that they're working. 380 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure that CT three is a tradable piece. 381 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm not certain that there's a team that's going to 382 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: want to take on that contract. But that being said, 383 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: I think you lock in Tommy edmund now before he 384 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: gets more expensive, right like, before he gets to play 385 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: an entire year and he's you know, shows you what 386 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: he can do. Lock him in now and then that's 387 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: good for both sides. I think there's something to be 388 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: said about security. I mean, does that say anything though 389 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: about the shortstop market of Tommy Edmunds signed you know, 390 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: signs an extension right now? 391 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: I mean it's not a. 392 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 1: Very strong shortstop market like it was you know, last year, 393 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: two years ago, that type of situation. And furthermore, what 394 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: does this mean for LuxI? I mean we keep talking 395 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: about perhaps LuxI is a tradeable piece because he doesn't 396 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: come with the price tag that CT three does. 397 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean Gavin lux is in a real good 398 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 4: spot to either stay with the team or be moved 399 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 4: in a trade. 400 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 3: He's still cheap. Uh. 401 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 4: I think when we saw him right, when he saw 402 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,919 Speaker 4: the swing right last year, he proved that he can 403 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: still get it done at the big league level. And 404 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 4: there should be some organizations out there that kind of 405 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 4: maybe you know, have have a little bit of the 406 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 4: hots for Gavin Lux if he is somebody that's that's 407 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 4: being traded. 408 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: Uh. 409 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 4: With Edmund, I don't know that this affects like the 410 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 4: shortstop thinking or market too much because I don't know 411 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 4: that he is a full time shortstop. 412 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 3: Maybe you know, giving giving him. 413 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 4: An offseason to really work on it, uh, you know, 414 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 4: focus his his craft on shortstop, you know, refining the 415 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: game there. Maybe that helps because obviously he was kind 416 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 4: of just you know, thrown into the ringer there during 417 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 4: the World Series where he did become the NLCS MVP. 418 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: Nothing big, nothing big, nothing hooron. 419 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 4: But I you know, if the Dodgers don't land Willie Adamas, 420 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 4: I believe they're in a good spot, whether they are 421 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 4: trying to put Lux at at shortstop having him work there, 422 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 4: or whether they swing some sort of trade or whether 423 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 4: it is a platoon or whatever it is of Edmund 424 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 4: and of course Miguel Rojas coming back, but I you know, 425 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 4: I think Adamis is still like kind of the guy 426 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 4: they're reaching for. 427 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 2: Oh God, yes, I mean, of course I would. I would. 428 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: I would love to have a Damis in the middle 429 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: of that infield with you know, obviously Mookie Bets there 430 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: at second base coming in from right field. 431 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 2: Would you like to have Cody Bellinger. 432 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: Back back their territory with our wonderful friend Ken Rosenthal 433 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: said that the Cubs of interest in moving him. 434 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: Do you want him back? And in what capacity? 435 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: Listen, I'll do it this way. We talked about it. 436 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 4: And Linda Listen, we talked about this on on my 437 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 4: channel last week, and it always elicits a lot of 438 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 4: common terry from the fans. I will say him firmly 439 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 4: of the belief that the best, best era of Dodgers 440 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 4: and Cody Bellinger has long past. That is not some 441 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 4: sort of breaking news statement there. However, if I don't 442 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: think the Dodgers are in on Juan Soto, ultimately they're 443 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 4: not in on one Soto. 444 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 3: But if you don't get Sodo and you don't get. 445 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 4: You're not able to you know, re sign Tascar Hernandez, 446 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: which would be just the flop the fail. 447 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: Of the offseason. 448 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 4: If you don't get Tao back, then you need to 449 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 4: start exploring. You need to start looking at different trade 450 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: routes because you know, if we had, if we had 451 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 4: a list that you know, talking about the outfield depth situation, yeah, 452 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 4: I mean the team hopes they're able to to move 453 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: a prospect Dalton Rushing to left field, but you know 454 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: at some point, but it's not going to be an 455 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: opening day Andy Pa has a very good player when 456 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 4: he's right, when he's engaged. 457 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 3: But he would right now. 458 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 4: You know, if Tommy Edmonds are starting shortstop, Andy Pa 459 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 4: has as your starting center fielder and Mookie Betts is 460 00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: an infielder now, so you need some help on the infield. 461 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 3: When Cody is right. 462 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 4: When he's engaged, and when we've seen him play a 463 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: phenomenal right field in the past, the legs are slowing 464 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 4: down a little bit for center field. 465 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. 466 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 4: The longer we go I go around on this, I 467 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 4: feel like I'm trying to talk myself into it. I 468 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 4: think if things fall a certain way, yes you can 469 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 4: look at a Cody Bellinger reunion. I don't know that 470 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: it's the right call though. 471 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: What's a what's too But I don't think you can 472 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: create the magic that was that twenty seventeen through twenty 473 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: nineteen teen. 474 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 2: You know our twenty twenty team, I think. 475 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there are certain guys I would have liked 476 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: back at a certain point, like I would have liked 477 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: to have never let Justin Turner go. Do I necessarily 478 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: want JT back as our third basement or DH that 479 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: doesn't fit anymore? 480 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 4: Right? 481 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: So the key k I always want back, and I 482 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: don't care if it just starts October first. You know, 483 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: there's certain guys that make sense, but I don't think 484 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: Belly at this point makes sense. And carnivorous lunar activity 485 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: wants to know why there's so much buzz with the 486 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: domis because he sucked in Tampa. Look at what he's 487 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: done for Milwaukee, and then come back to me and 488 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: talk about why Adamas is creating the buzz. Willia Domas, 489 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 1: I think would be a great addition that you fit 490 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: in nicely to what the Dodgers want to do. Okay, 491 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: before we move on here, I have to ask you. 492 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: I know you're doing this tongue in cheek, and I 493 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: swear to God, I thought I missed something because when 494 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: you were like, oh, Andrew Friedman won the off season, 495 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 1: I was like, my man, Clint, my hommie, my co 496 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: host has lost his ever living mind, won the off season. 497 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: But obviously you were joking. 498 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: But there's something to be said about signing a guy 499 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: like this, right, do you have any Diego's to a 500 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: miner's contract? 501 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: Now, there's something about. 502 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: The Dodgers that allows people to be themselves and kind 503 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: of reinvent themselves. 504 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: Do you like this sign? 505 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 1: Obviously we know that you're being facetious here, but do 506 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: you like this for any reason? 507 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: Well, I'm doing a tongue in cheek because it's obviously 508 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 4: and facetious because it's obviously not the signing everybody was 509 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 4: hoping the Dodgers were going to make this offseason. But 510 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 4: how however, it's a very very good signing because in 511 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 4: the past, this dude Diegos has been a very very 512 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 4: good reliever. He was a you know, closer at different 513 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 4: points in time for the Saint Louis Cardinals. 514 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 3: And if there's. 515 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: Anybody, there's anybody in the world that has just a 516 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 4: little bit of talent, the Dodgers can find a way 517 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 4: to fully unlock it. 518 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: So you get this guy. 519 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 4: It's it's the ultimate of a by low you know, 520 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 4: low risk, high reward deal. You need to replace a 521 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 4: Dan Hudson in your bullpen. You need to fill some 522 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 4: innings that Bruce dark Gratarol won't be taken for the 523 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 4: first half of the season. You know, River Ryan's out, 524 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 4: Kyle hurt Us out. You still don't have Blake Trent 525 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 4: and so you add somebody that has some upside, had 526 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 4: some talent, had a very nice run. You know, I 527 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,959 Speaker 4: think it was what nineteen twenty nineteen through twenty twenty 528 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 4: two Diego's post posting an era around three two eight four. 529 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 4: Just put the numbers together right here, Well, technically Baseball 530 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 4: Reference DIAD, but even so, it's it's a great signing 531 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 4: knowing that it doesn't affect anything. It's a minors deal. 532 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 4: It's what the Dodgers do, and it's what Andrew Friedman 533 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 4: does best. You don't win championships, You don't win one 534 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 4: hundred games most seasons without these type of moves, Without 535 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 4: your Evan Phillips, without your Anthony Bondas, without your Brent Honeywells, 536 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: you don't get deep into a postseason or into the 537 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 4: You know through a season. You don't survive a season, 538 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 4: you get deep into a postseason, and you don't win 539 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 4: World Series without these kind of moves. And this is 540 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 4: where I love Andrew Fan when he's able to do 541 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: the bargain basement shopping. 542 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: Oh my boy cooks. 543 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: I tell you what, Andre Freeman, I'm trying to get 544 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: him on the show, and I do believe that he 545 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: will join us. 546 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: He was gonna come on today, but he's actually traveling. 547 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: And then on Wednesday, obviously a day before Thanksgiving, he's 548 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: doing stuff with his family. So I'm still working on that. 549 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: But a tremendous amount of respect for him, obvi. So 550 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. If you could have one 551 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: player right now, just one player back. Let's say it's 552 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: just and I'm not talking about contract terms, it's not 553 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: it's not apples. It's apples to oranges here, Okay, one 554 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: player that you want? 555 00:24:59,320 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: Who is it? 556 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 3: Damnit? 557 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: Say one year deal? 558 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 3: One year? 559 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 4: Can Can I get a picture and a position player? 560 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 4: I gotta have Oscar and I gotta have Taale. 561 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: Tale's gotta be my guy.
