1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Anybody who's worried about the level of motivation of this team, 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: this organization, I think you could put those peers to 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: rest that. I think you're going to see, you know, 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: a team that's looking to raise the bar in itself. 5 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: What is going on? 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 3: Everybody, Welcome to a live episode of Dodgers Territory. That 7 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 3: is Clint Psius. I am Alana Rizzo. We are your 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 3: hosts of the program for the next thirty minutes. Always 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 3: a lot to talk about. I can't say that I 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 3: thought there was going to be this much to talk 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: about on February thirteenth, but it has been made official. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 4: Clint. 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: Just moments ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers sending out that 14 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw is back for his eighteenth season. It just 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: seems apropos that Kersh once again is in Dodger Blue. 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw some reports earlier this morning about what 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 2: the deal was going to look like one year, seven 18 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 2: point five million dollars. Obviously we don't have the updated 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: graphic because this literally happened just before we went on live, 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: but that's just a great deal for both sides. We 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 2: know he's not going to be available for the first 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: couple of months, maybe the first half of the season, 23 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 2: but most importantly, Clayton Kershaw is back with this team. 24 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 2: And you know, it's kind of it's kind of been. 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. Some fans are against it. I love it. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: I think Clayton Kershaw should be a Dodger every minute, 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: every minute of every day for the rest of my life. 28 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 2: It's not how reality works, but I just love that 29 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: Clayton's back. 30 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, Clayton Kershaw belongs in Dodger Blue. 31 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: And listen, he's going to be back when he's healthy, 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 3: which is probably going to be exactly when the Dodgers 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: need him, probably September or October. Pitchers and catchers reporting 34 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: this week, tell us what you think about Clinton Kershaw 35 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: coming back. Get in on the chat. We'd love to 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 3: hear your comments. Obviously, give us a like a subscribe 37 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: anywhere you get your podcasts and on YouTube. Let's look 38 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: at the Dodgers' starting options in terms of the starting rotation, Clint, 39 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 3: because there's a ton of arms. You know that this 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: always works its way out. If everybody were to stay healthy, 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: then they have some issues as to getting guys some innings. 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 3: But if you look at the Dodgers. In terms of 43 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: starting options, this is a pretty great rotation. Blake Snell 44 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: new to the team, Tyler glasnow is healthy. Everybody and 45 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 3: their mother was after Roki Sasaki. He went to La 46 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: Tony Gonsol in his back, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. I know you, 47 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: in particular are really excited about Yama and your two 48 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: Dustin May, Sho Hey Otani, who's probably going to pitch 49 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: in May, supposed to throw a bullpen tomorrow. And then 50 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 3: of course the latest and greatest first ballot Hall of 51 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: Famer Clayton Kershaw. Of course, Otani and Kershaw recovering from injury. 52 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: But man on paper, this is a hell of a rotation, Clint. 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, that might be an understatement right there, the understatement 54 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: of the spring couple new faces on there, of course, 55 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 2: Roki Sasaki. Everybody looking forward to seeing this man on 56 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: the bump for the Dodgers, expected to get into one 57 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: of the two games in Tokyo. But I am very 58 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: curious how all of that talent sorts itself out. And 59 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 2: of course we get to ask our guest today. I 60 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: watched the show. I wasn't paying attention. I don't know 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: if we mentioned Dodgers' special advisor, far Anxiety will be 62 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: joining us shortly and we'll ask his thoughts about this 63 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: rotation and extremely loaded Dodgers' roster. But look at that. 64 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: That's a look right there, Clayton Kershaw, Andrew Friedman, Tanner Scott, 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: a bunch of fresh faces here with the Dodgers as 66 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: they look to repeat for what the first time in 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: twenty some odd years, they can run it back and 68 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: win that World Series. 69 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, new digs for Tanner Scott, a new wild horse 70 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: if you will. We're in Yasie Olquig's old number sixty six. 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 3: Let me ask you this though, is there a lot 72 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: of pressure, a lot of weight in terms of what 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 3: Blake Snell is going to have to carry as far 74 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: as a load is concerned, Because obviously Glasnow's coming back 75 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: from injury, he has that injury history, you know, Dustin 76 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 3: Mace coming back from injury, Tony Gonsolin's coming back from injury. 77 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: Yamamoto just in his second year as a big leaguer 78 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: in the United States, Roki Sasaki, he's a young guy, 79 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: still has to learn how to pitch in this country. 80 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 3: So I'll lot falls on Snell is that fair to say. 81 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fair. I mean, he's the adult in the room. 82 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 2: He's the grown up in the room. He's the guy 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: that presumably has the healthiest body in that Dodgers rotation 84 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: and is most acclimated to major league pitching. So I 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: love the column, the piece that that Ken Rosenthal put 86 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: together at the athletic asking talking to Snell about that, 87 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: and Snell kind of understanding his role is to be 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: maybe it's not your traditional, it's not our old school 89 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: innings eater anymore, but somebody who could pick up at 90 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: least one hundred and seventy one hundred and eighty. If 91 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: he hits that two hundred innings mark, I would be 92 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: extremely impressed in this day and age, with as many 93 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: guys as we saw that are going to be available 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 2: for the starting rotation. But he is somebody that could 95 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: kind of circumvent that six man rotation and possibly stay 96 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: on an every five day sort of starting schedule, a 97 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: more old school schedule for this team. But yeah, if 98 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: you're circling one guy all of those names that really 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: really needs to quite literally shoulder more of a load, 100 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: it should be Blake Snell. And this reason is the 101 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: reason they gave him as much money as they did. 102 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: No question about it, to two timesy Young Award winner. 103 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: Some of the other years that he has haven't been 104 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: that sexy, but those two years have been really impressive, 105 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: and he is going to shoulder the load for the 106 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 3: Dodgers team, at least in the better part of the 107 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: early part of the season. Another note coming out of 108 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: spring training so far, albeit early on, Dave Roberts has 109 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 3: mentioned Clint that Otani will not pitch in Cactus League games, 110 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 3: So those of you go into camel Back Branch, you 111 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 3: will not see Otani pitch in games. Not part of 112 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: his rehab plan at this point. That's what Bill Plunkett 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 3: of the Orange County Register had to say about that. 114 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: Not surprising though, I mean, we don't expect him back 115 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 3: on a big league mound obviously until May. He will 116 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: be in the game as a position player. There's will 117 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: the thrill. Ireton got to love to see him. He's 118 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: you know, he's a celebrity in his own right. But 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 3: I mean, no big surprise here. Also, per Dave Roberts, 120 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: Clint Yamamoto and Sasaki expected to be the two that 121 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: start the games in Japan for that awesome Tokyo series 122 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: against the Chicago Cups. 123 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Los Angeles Samurai Japan looking really, really good. 124 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: They're gonna be showing out early. I do love Yamamoto 125 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: getting that start against Shota, against Mike Imonaga. If you're nasty, 126 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 2: it's the right call. It's good for baseball, it's good 127 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 2: for the brand globally, and especially great in Japan to 128 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 2: see all those faces that are going to be out there. 129 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: But not Yeah, nothing surprising, I would say so far 130 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: out of Dave early in camp. We're excited. We're happy. 131 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: We have an opening day starter two years in a 132 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: row for Yoshinobu, Yamamoto, sho Heyo Tani. We'll pitching Cactus 133 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: League games. I'm still holding out hope that he pitches 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 2: in the Freeway Series, maybe gets an inning on the 135 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 2: bump there before domestic opening Day. But that's just for me, 136 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 2: you know, it's just a personal thing. It's not them, 137 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: but it's it's again. I've said it so many times, 138 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: and this is usually how I punched this. It's a 139 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 2: great time to be a Dodger fan, and I love 140 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: seeing once again all that talent at Camelback Ranch. I 141 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: just want games to happen already. 142 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny too, because we were just talking earlier 143 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: before Dodgers Territory started that. Pat Murphy of the Milwaukee 144 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: Brewers has announced that Freddie Peralta is getting the opening 145 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: day nod for the Brewers. It's February twelve, but that's fine. 146 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 3: Let's go ahead and announce that right now. But let 147 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: me ask you this this in our comments section, Rick 148 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: Montoya mentioning Yoshi and Roki in Japan and Sneller glass 149 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: Now get opening day at Dodger Stadium. Who do you 150 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: think it's the opening nod as far as the domestic 151 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: opening day for the club? 152 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: Well? What last year? It was Glass Now, And that's 153 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 2: somebody we really have not talked much about. Glass Now. 154 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: I was doing a show with my other co host, 155 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: Producer Man on my All Dodger show Guys subscribe check 156 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: it out, and he was one of those names. Tyler 157 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: Glass Now was one of those names where it's like, oh, crap, 158 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: I forgot about Tyler Glass Now. How does this team 159 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: have so much talent that you forget about a potential 160 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: frontline dude like that? But for me, you gotta give 161 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 2: the ball to who is you know your off season, 162 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 2: your your biggest, first, biggest off season acquisition, Blake Snell 163 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: getting the ball at Dodger Stadium on opening Day, all 164 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: the pomp and circumstance, and then glassnow can start the 165 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: ring ceremony day on Friday. They could also run back 166 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, because there's going to be about a week 167 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: in between starts. Who do you want to see in 168 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: the bump. 169 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: Though, whoever's the healthiest coming out of spring training and 170 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: whoever shoves? I mean, there's only there's only one real 171 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: opening day, right, It's like day one, and then after that. 172 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: I don't care because you're you're you have basically a 173 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 3: handful of vases that you can go with, and then 174 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 3: the schedule works itself out and then things get switched around. 175 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: We'll talk to Farhunziety about the six man rotation and 176 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: some other things when he comes up on the show 177 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 3: here momentarily. But I tell you, I did not expect, 178 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 3: and I talked about this the other day. I did 179 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 3: not expect Clayton Kershaw to necessarily be at Campbell back already, 180 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: because we had talked about the fact that we knew 181 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: he was coming back Obviously, we had a conversation with 182 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: President and Baseball Ops Andrew Friedman on Monday about the 183 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 3: fact that Clayton Kershaw was likely coming back. But I 184 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 3: did and think like, Okay, you know, he can't if 185 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 3: he's not signed, he can't work out with the team. 186 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 3: So I was like, well, maybe he's just going to 187 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 3: work out in Texas, blah blah blah. And then obviously 188 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: first day of pitchers and catchers there's Clayton Kershaw. Was like, okay, 189 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 3: well that means that he must be signing because he 190 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: can't be there otherwise. And then it's like, all right, well, 191 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: we'll just move him to the sixty day. So here's 192 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 3: the thing we talked about this. They moved river Ryan 193 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 3: Clint to the sixty day. Did that surprise you not 194 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 3: so much. 195 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 5: I think I think that's it was either going to 196 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 5: be him or it was going to be Bruce Dark gradual, 197 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: they have options, and now Clayton Kershawk had hit the 198 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 5: sixty day IL when they need a roster spot for 199 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 5: Roki Sasaki when they go to Japan. 200 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 2: So that was one of the kind of questions. I 201 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: don't know this part of baseball rules and il stints 202 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: and all of that. But because River Ryan was injured, 203 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: you know, at the big league level, I wonder if 204 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: they had to put him, you know, on the sixty 205 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: day IL or he had to count towards you know, 206 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,559 Speaker 2: the major league pitching side as opposed to being able 207 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: to stash him at at the minor league level like 208 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: they're going to be able to do with Kyle Hurt 209 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: like they did with Nick Frosso all of last season. 210 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if I explained that well, but either way, 211 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: they still have a couple of roster spots they can 212 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 2: play with when it comes to opening opening space on 213 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 2: that forty man So. 214 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 3: It looks like it looks like a June return actually 215 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 3: for Clayton Kershaw, likely because if Fabby and Ardaya does 216 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: a great job on the athletic covering the Los Angeles Daughters. 217 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw said he expects to be on the sixty 218 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: day IL to start the season. We all knew that, 219 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 3: but his timeline likely lines up for him to be 220 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: ready once those sixty days are done. So if that's 221 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 3: the case and you're starting the sixth, you know, the 222 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 3: season on the sixth day, you should frib you back 223 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: in June so good for us, good for the Dodgers. 224 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 3: A plus, Andrew Friedman. We're going to talk to Farhan 225 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: here momentarily when he gets some technical issues worked out 226 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 3: here before he joins us on Dodgers territory. 227 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: So I'll ask you this, though, of all these names, 228 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 2: all these bodies, we've already seen faces, new faces now 229 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 2: that spring training is actually here, veteran faces, old faces, 230 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: who are you most excited to watch this spring? 231 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 3: O man, I can't. By the way, we're going down 232 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 3: there to all of you listening, we hope that you 233 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: will join us. We're gonna be down there, Clinton and I. 234 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 3: We're interviewing Dave Roberts on the tenth, talking about all 235 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 3: of the different moves that he made, what was going 236 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: through his mind as he navigated that postseason. Also, Foul 237 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: Territory is going to be down at Dodger's camp on 238 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: the tenth. AJ Krazinski and myself hosting that. So come 239 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: and see us. We'd love to have a live studio audience, 240 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 3: if you will, and hopefully we'll be outside in the sun. 241 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 3: As far as who I'm excited to see the most, 242 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: I'm obviously Sasaki. I mean Austin Barnes caught him in 243 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 3: a bullpen session the other day and he was just like, 244 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. You know, so I'm excited to see 245 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 3: the stuff that he has. We know he has this stuff. 246 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: I'm excited to see the location, the movement, all the things. 247 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: You know, just all my peeps, you know, all the 248 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: guys that I used to used to cover obviously, but 249 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: that's more for selfish reasons as far as from a 250 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 3: game standpoint is concerned. I'm also excited about Yamamoto in 251 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 3: year two, you know, to see those guys, to see 252 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 3: how he has evolved as a pitcher at the big 253 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: league level. I've never met Shohy in person, so I'm 254 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: looking forward to hopefully being able to say hello and 255 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: really more decoy than show, Hey, he's a lot of man. 256 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: He's a lot of man that. Yeah, he's a lot 257 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 3: of human. Yeah, everybody. I mean, I've said this at nauseum. 258 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: I am more excited about this team going into the 259 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: season and all the complimentary pieces. You know, I wanted 260 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: kek back. We had to have tay Oscar back, you know. 261 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: Obviously Kirsh is a no brainer to me. So, I mean, 262 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: I know it's a it's a cop out, but everybody, everybody, 263 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 3: I'm excited to see everybody. 264 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited to see healthy Dustin May and healthy 265 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: Tony Gonsoland. Again, We've talked about it a few times. 266 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: I've talked about it on my channel as well. It 267 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: feels like a lot of people kind of sleep on 268 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: the cat man. Tony Gonslan was an All Star when 269 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 2: healthy in twenty twenty two. He is very good, he's 270 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: very filthy, and to know that he's somebody that's probably 271 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: gonna open the season as your number five guy as 272 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: show hey, you know, kind of takes his time to 273 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: ramp up and rejoin the rotation sometime in May. But 274 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: to have Tony Gonsolin back in the bump and just 275 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: really for him not have expectations, just show up, show 276 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 2: out every four or five six days, try and stay healthy. 277 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: And the same with Dustin May, whether that be in 278 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: the bullpen, whether that be in the starting rotation, which 279 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: it most likely will be at least to open the season. 280 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: But I want to ask you this. I when we've 281 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: seen the first day, first couple of days at Campbell 282 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: Back Ranch, I mentioned it alluded to it. Well, I 283 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 2: guess mentioned it. Evan Phillips likely to miss he's behind scheduled, 284 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 2: likely to miss a little bit of time, same with 285 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 2: Michael Kopek. Do you think that opens a more clear 286 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: door for Dustin May to kind of take and run 287 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: with a bullpen job or will they kind of fill 288 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: it out with some of the other younger dudes, Ben Casparius, 289 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 2: Edgardo Henriquez, guys we saw with the team during the 290 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: postseason run when everybody was hurt. 291 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: This is still the reason I would never want to 292 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: be in the front office or have to be, you know, 293 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: Mark Pryor or Josh Bard and have to deal with 294 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: these decisions. I think you go in as you expect 295 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: everybody to be healthy, right, and you expect everybody to 296 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: get as many innings as possible, and you build up 297 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: Dustin May as a starter. You try to build up 298 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 3: Tony Gonsolin as a starter. I think you can always 299 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: go backwards, but not go forward, you. 300 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 6: Know what I mean. 301 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 3: I think if you build them up to where they 302 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 3: could be ready to be in the starting rotation, or 303 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: at least be a bulk innings guy in those middle innings, 304 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: then you can always scale them back and put them 305 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: in the bullpen if necessary, if you have like legitimately 306 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 3: a healthy five man rotation, six man rotation, So you 307 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: build them up because that's what you assign them to 308 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 3: be is a starter. I mean, again, I want Dustin 309 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: May in the bullpen. But I'm just saying, you build 310 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: them up as they are going to be a starter, 311 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: and I think eventually just the injury bug gets you 312 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 3: and then you kind of fill in the pieces like that. 313 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: All right, so we're gonna have far hunziety here momentarily, 314 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: but back in a moment. First, we have a quick 315 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: word from Aer Kratz Scott Brown Rats. 316 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 6: Do you like spending an hour on grocery shopping? 317 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: Nope?

Alan. It really 355 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 4: is great to be back with the Dodgers. 356 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: Obviously great organization, one that I got to spend a 357 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: few really fun and rewarding years with. You know, after 358 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: being let go by the Giants at the end of 359 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: last season, I got a few phone calls that was 360 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: really nice to hear from people around the game, and 361 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: you know, as I started thinking about what to do next, 362 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: the chance to be back among familiar people in a 363 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: familiar place, you know, even putting aside how incredibly successful 364 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: the Dodgers organization has been and all the positives that 365 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: come with that, for me, it was really about the people. 366 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: It was about you know, my personal professional relationship with 367 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: with with Andrew, with Brandon Gomes, with a lot of 368 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: the other people. 369 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 4: And I just got to spend a couple of days. 370 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: In Arizona and it was, you know, a fun reunion 371 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: with all those guys. 372 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 4: So really just happy to be back farhand. 373 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 2: Pleasure to meet you, hoping and hopefully we can collaborate 374 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: and see some great things with this Dodgers team this year. 375 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: I do want to ask you how much have you 376 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 2: seen this team evolve since you left? Because, I mean, 377 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 2: you're looking at this offseason. Obviously you're kind of a 378 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: cherry on top with everything in Clayton Kershaw at the 379 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: end of it, but yeah, how much has this team 380 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: evolved since you were last year? 381 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. 382 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: I was joking with Andrew and we talked really throughout 383 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: the offseason on and off. Obviously he's had his handful 384 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: with a bunch of things, and I joked that I 385 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: just had to see how this offseason went before I 386 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: signed back on. It's very say the least, but it 387 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: really has evolved. I mean when I was here in 388 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen to twenty eighteen, we obviously had a lot 389 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: of star players. You know, obviously Clayton Kershaw in his prime. 390 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: You know number of other guys you know, you're Corey 391 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: Seekers and Justin Turner's and so there's been some turnover. 392 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just you know, the 393 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: mega star power on this roster with Shohey and Freddie 394 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: Freeman and Mookie Betts all guys that came to the 395 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers after I left, you know, So you have that 396 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: superstar group and then you still have a really smart 397 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: and discipline front office in terms of how they put 398 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: the team around those guys, and you know, I think 399 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: that's a big part of why Andrew and his group 400 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: have been so successful. 401 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: Farhon, you have other responsibilities as well, not just the 402 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers, but you're going to be working with 403 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 3: Mark Wahlzer's other properties as well, Chelsea being one of 404 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 3: those teams. How do you imagine the balance of work 405 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 3: between all of the different major sports kind of what 406 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 3: is your role with all of those properties? 407 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just going to be. 408 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: People are probably going to be playing hot potato with me, 409 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: just handing me around the team. You know, when I 410 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: start to annoy people, that'll be on to the next thing. 411 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: But in all seriousness, it's very early on in the process. 412 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to get a lay of the land. 413 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 4: You know. 414 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: My first you know, job was just refamiliarizing with the 415 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: Dodgers with the front office. They're obviously helping support them, 416 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: and then you know, we'll take the other sports as 417 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: they come. Obviously, Mark Mark and his business partners have 418 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: had an interest in expanding into other sports and I 419 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: really look forward to learning more about that and getting 420 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: to pitch in there. But that's just going to be 421 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: a process. And you know, it obviously felt great to 422 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: me to hear directly from Mark and his enthusiasm bringing 423 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: me back, and you know the fact that he thinks 424 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: I can help out with some of those other teams. 425 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: But I think that'll just I'll just take that as 426 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: it comes. That may be more of a slower process. 427 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned one of the big differences now compared 428 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: to before is the star power. We had Andrew Friedman 429 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: on this week and he talked about how, really this offseason, 430 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: the last two off seasons, or those rare occasions where 431 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: all the a plans kind of work out, we don't 432 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 2: need to live too much in the past. But obviously 433 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: the Giants had their fair share of near missus when 434 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: it comes to big name free agents. What is the 435 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: challenge in trying to get some of these players to 436 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: kind of buy in and come to an organization, and 437 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 2: where you think kind of maybe some things fell a 438 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 2: little short with the Giants as where the Dodgers were 439 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 2: able to sort of hit on just about everybody when 440 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: you look at that free agent offseason signing list. 441 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously, I you know, have a close 442 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: relationship with Andrew, but it still stings a little to 443 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: hear him say how all of his plan is given it. 444 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's you know, not obviously how it 445 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: always goes. There's thirty teams in Major League Baseball, and certainly, 446 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: whenever you're trying to attract the star player superstar player, 447 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: you're competing against twenty nine teams, and you know, the 448 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: sad reality is even finishing second or third doesn't cut it. 449 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, in fact, in a lot of ways, that 450 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: winds up being worse. When I think about my time 451 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: with the Giants, certainly we aimed high with some of 452 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: the star players that we went after and obviously came short. 453 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: But I think there were different reasons for all of 454 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: those had to do with the player's geographic preference in 455 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: terms of his family, where he felt the most comfortable. 456 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: Maybe the ballpark was a factor in some cases. And 457 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, again, I think where you are on your 458 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: competitive cycle really determines, you know, how players look at 459 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: your team. My first off season, we talked a lot 460 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: with Bryce Harper, and you know, Bruce Bochie had pretty 461 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: much made it known that it was his last year 462 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: with the team, and so for Bryce, I think the 463 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: concern of being part of an organization and transition really 464 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: loomed large in his decision. So, you know, that really 465 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: had nothing to do with geography. Other times, you might 466 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: be coming off a down season and a player may question, 467 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: where's this team going to be next year, Where's this 468 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: team going to be five years from now. So I 469 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: think in every case it was different. And again, I 470 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: in most cases, superstar players are going to go to 471 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: their top choice, you know, and you may make a 472 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: really good impression on them. They may be impressed with you, 473 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: but you know, if you start process in second or 474 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: third place, it's hard to get to that to that 475 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: top number. So I think it's a challenge, is a 476 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 1: challenge that all teams face. The Dodgers have obviously been 477 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: incredibly successful. I mean, LA is a place that's a 478 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: huge attraction for players, especially guys from California, from the 479 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: West coast. The team, the organization, the success that they've had, 480 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, and once you start building that momentum and 481 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: you can create even more momentum. 482 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,360 Speaker 4: That's when you can really get on. 483 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: A run of executing Plan a's And obviously that's what 484 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Andrew and his crew have been able to do Farhan. 485 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: Let's move forward the Dodgers. Obviously, you guys are looking 486 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: to probably do a six man rotation just because of 487 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 3: the quality of arms and the amount of arms that 488 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 3: you have. It's not a great you know, it's a 489 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 3: great problem to have, but with it comes some challenges 490 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 3: for Mark Pryor and Josh Bart as far as managing 491 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 3: the bullpen. 492 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: How do you. 493 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 3: Explain the calculus of pitching through one sixty two with 494 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 3: an organization that's built for October? Like, what's the best 495 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 3: route to go through? Right now? Is Dustin maybe being 496 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 3: built up as a starter? Do you see him you know? 497 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 3: Or do you work with him as a bullpen arm? 498 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 3: How does that work for you guys as a front 499 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 3: office trying to figure out that balance and formula. 500 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, Having had the pitcher and catcher kind of player 501 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: review meetings a couple of days ago, this came up 502 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: with a number of players, players coming back from injury, 503 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: players who have the ability to start but given the 504 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: depth of the starting pitching, you know, especially with kursh 505 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,879 Speaker 1: coming back just the most recent edition and you know, 506 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: one of the deepest pitching kind of charge I think 507 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: I've ever seen, and certainly other people have ever seen, 508 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: there's gonna have to be some flexibility a lot of 509 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: these players we talked about in terms of getting them 510 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: stretched out early in the season and then seeing where 511 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: the team need is. You know, does the starting pitching 512 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: thin out a little bit where you need guys to 513 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: continue to get stretched out, does the starting pitching look 514 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: really good, and some of these guys may have to 515 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: fill them in the bullpen because obviously there's been a 516 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: conversation about some of the relievers maybe being a little 517 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: bit behind early in the season who pitched a ton 518 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 1: last year, and just wanted to bring them back steadily 519 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,880 Speaker 1: and make sure that they're put in the best position 520 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: from a health standpoint. So I think as you look 521 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: at this, it's just always a good idea to have 522 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: a lot of pitching and to be flexible as that 523 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: plan plays through. 524 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 4: I think one thing from. 525 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: A strategic standpoint that you have to keep in mind 526 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,479 Speaker 1: when you're doing a six man rotation, especially early on 527 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: when Shohei probably is not going to be a part 528 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: of that is you've got a seven men bullpen, and 529 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: that means you just can't match up strategically this way 530 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: you would with a full pen and with pitchers more 531 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: stretched out, So you might see more multi inning relievers 532 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: early in the season because you just need guys to 533 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: pick up bigger chunks with a shorter pen and with 534 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: the starters maybe not fully stretched out. 535 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: Kind of piggybacking off of that, we saw the news 536 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: yesterday a couple of guys behind schedule at least at 537 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: the start of camp, Evan Phillips and Michael Kopek. Is 538 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 2: the team kind of really concerned about those dudes? Are 539 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: we kind of letting the first few weeks of spread 540 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: training dictate our level of concerns. 541 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 542 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: Again, I think it's having the luxury of depth and 543 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys who have the opportunity to 544 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: fill in early in the season. You know, I'm you know, 545 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: in my advisory role, those aren't going to be decisions 546 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: that that I'm that I'm gonna make. As Andrew likes 547 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: to say, you know, we had a really serious negotiation 548 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 1: about whether to go with special advisor or ordinary advisor. 549 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: So that should tell you a little bit about my 550 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: level of influence. But again, I actually, you know, throughout 551 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: my career, I think it's you know, when you have injuries, 552 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: it creates opportunities for young players. It creates opportunities to 553 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: kind of deepen your bench, you know, your quote unquote 554 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: bench it. But that holds true for leaf pitchers also, 555 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: and from the outside looking in, some of the young 556 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 1: arms in this organization that might otherwise be slated for 557 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: Triple A R guys that would be on the big 558 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: league roster in many other places. So hopefully they take 559 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: that off opportunity early in the season and run with it, 560 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: and it gives you the chance to, you know, be 561 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: more conservative with some of these guys that pitched a 562 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: lot last season, including in the playoffs. 563 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 3: Barhan, You've been around this game a very long time. 564 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 3: One of the best baseball minds in the sport. Are 565 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 3: the Dodgers bad for baseball? 566 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, maybe it has to do with my own 567 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: competitive spirit, which might surprise people, But you know, I'm 568 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: the type of person that when I'm playing a pickup 569 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: basketball game, i might be on a team that's lost 570 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: eight games in a row, and I always want to 571 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: run it back and play the same thing. Sometimes I 572 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: think I would annoy my teammates with wanting to do that. 573 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: So I mean, if you're a competitor, you want to 574 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: compete with the best, And throughout my tenure with the Giants, 575 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: I never felt like it was unfair. I never felt 576 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: like the Dodgers were an overly stacked team. I was 577 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: kind of like, bring it on, and look, we had 578 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: nick success, There's no question about that. But I think 579 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 1: when the best team's best organizations are raising the bar 580 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: that to bring out the best in other organizations, I 581 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: think that's good for the sports. So again, that's my 582 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: you know, people might view that as my take now 583 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: that I'm back with the Dodgers, but honestly, it was 584 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: how I felt was I was in San Francisco too, 585 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: So hopefully we see that, you know, we see the 586 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 1: bar being raised for teams around the game. I think 587 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: that is ultimately going to be great for the sport. 588 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we saw the bar really raised in 589 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: the NL West this offseason. Kind of talk about the 590 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 2: competition that Dodgers will be facing this coming season. Arizona 591 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: looking great, obviously, San Francisco made some moves, the Padres 592 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 2: kind of making some move late moves late. What can 593 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 2: you tell us about how the Dodgers are viewing these 594 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: other organizations and how good is it for teams around 595 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: the Dodgers to kind of help it? Was it raising tide, 596 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 2: raises all boats or all ships or whatever the saying is, 597 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: it helps the Dodgers. 598 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: It feels like to me, yeah, I mean, look, you're 599 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: you're the hunted in this division right with the success 600 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: that the team has had for so many years in 601 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: go into the playoffs, so many division titles, all of 602 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: those teams are gunning for the top. Obviously there's been 603 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: this great rivalry with the Padres over the last few years. 604 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: That team's going to look really different. But Aj Preller 605 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: does a great job there, and we've seen a flurry 606 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: of late signings as they, you know, try to catch 607 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: up and make up for some of the losses they've 608 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: had this offseason. Diamondbacks landing Corbyn Burns I thought was 609 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: huge getting Josh Neeler from Cleveland, a tremendous bat. You know, 610 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: they're always reinventing themselves and a very competitive team. I 611 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: thought the Giants did a great job landing Willia Damas, 612 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: that's been a hole for the organization for a while. 613 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: He's one of the top short stops in the game. 614 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: And you know'll be really interesting to see how Justin 615 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: Verlander does leading that young staff. I mean, one of 616 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,479 Speaker 1: the things that I felt during my time there was 617 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: there was a good pipeline of young pitchers. They've got 618 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: a group of young pitchers that could wind up working 619 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: their way into the rotation and having a veteran like 620 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: that lead them really helps. And Colorado's just had this 621 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: steady young players. Obviously Bill Schmidt has a scouting background. 622 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: They're trying to get guys, you know, through the draft, 623 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: through the minor leagues and up to the major league roster. 624 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: And and that's always a tough place to go, as 625 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: the Dodgers know, as I my time with the Giants, 626 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: you know, going to Cores, uh, you're always in for 627 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: a fight. So it's a fun division. I think it's 628 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: the best division in baseball. It's really competitive, and you know, 629 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: it's one of the tough things for me about bouncing 630 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: back and forth between teams. 631 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 4: It's like the. 632 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: Competition is so staff that you get caught in the 633 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: crossfire a little bit, but you know, in some ways, 634 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have it any other way. 635 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 4: It's it's fun to be where the action is far before. 636 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 3: We let you go. Just one quick one. How does 637 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: a World Series team that knocked out the big bag 638 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 3: New York Yankees in five games? How does a World 639 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: Series championship team get better? 640 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: It was really interesting for me being around the last 641 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: couple of days, and again, a lot of the players 642 00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: are different, a lot of the players the players are 643 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: the same. I mean, I kind of reunited with guys 644 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: like Clayton Kershawn and Max Munsey and Austin Barnes, and 645 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: obviously a couple of our giants from last year twenty 646 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: twenty four, Blake Snell Michael Conforto are with the Dodgers. 647 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 4: Now. 648 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: I just sensed like just great purpose and motivation and 649 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: above all, just the level of humility and recognizing how 650 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: challenging this sport is, how much of a challenge is 651 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: to sort of roll that boulder up the mountain every season, 652 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: how every season is different. So I just saw an 653 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: incredibly motivated group of players, staff organization that recognized the 654 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: challenge ahead and aren't going to take anything for granted, 655 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: and and I. 656 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 4: Wouldn't expect anything less. 657 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: But anybody who's worried about the level of motivation of 658 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: this team, this organization, I think you could put those 659 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: fears to rest. I think you're going to see, you know, 660 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: a team that's looking to raise the bar in itself. 661 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: I heard some of Andrews interview and him talking about 662 00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: the bar that this organization needs to say for itself, 663 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: and you really see that everywhere you look when you 664 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: go into camp. 665 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: That is far anxiety the special advisor or the average 666 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: advisor to Mark Wilder and the Los Angeles Dodgers farhand. 667 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 2: We appreciate the time, looking forward to hopefully you get 668 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 2: in a ring with this team in twenty twenty five, 669 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: and appreciate the time again. 670 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 4: Thanks so much, great talking to you guys. 671 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: All right, Alana, let's go ahead and throw two last licks. 672 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 2: This is this is for everybody. 673 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 3: Okay, that's not me snoring, Clint.

That's my nonprofit foundation. We are 683 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: trying to get this little lady a home. So let 684 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: me ask you this, my dear, before we talk about 685 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 3: what's coming up on All Dodgers with Clint Pisius, what 686 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 3: do you think about the comments. We'll just do it 687 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 3: really quickly. We don't have to play the sound. But 688 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 3: the comments about Aaron Boone saying that the Yankees felt 689 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 3: disrespected about the Dodgers trash talk after they won the 690 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 3: World Series. 691 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 2: I think I think Booney handled it as best as 692 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 2: he could. He was asked the question. You have to 693 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: answer the question. You know that the quote about like 694 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: we'll handle it with more class. I think that was 695 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: very It was taken and you know, spin doctored by 696 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 2: people with the memes and the media and all that 697 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: kind of stuff. It wasn't him called the Dodgers. You know, 698 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 2: trashy or class lists. He was saying, we would do 699 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: it differently, and really it comes down to three Dodgers 700 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: kind of said some things like like Chris Taylor all inbriated. Yeah, 701 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: I like it, you know, and lay down a little 702 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 2: bit of a gauntlet. I'm fine with it. Uh, you know, 703 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: create some some tension, some angst, make baseball fun again 704 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 2: or whatever. I mean. I have fun watching baseball either way. 705 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 2: But we need these kind of storylines. Baseball needs these 706 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 2: kind of storylines, and hopefully these two teams meet up 707 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: again in the World Series. 708 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 3: Uh, here's something that's disrespectful, your lack of fundamentals in 709 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: the fifth inning.
