1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: I have a reserve personality, and people see that shyness

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: as innocents or I don't know what it is.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: I promise you I do a lot wrong.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 3: What's going on?

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Everybody?

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 4: Welcome to the live Thursday edition of Dodgers Territory. I'm

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,799

Speaker 4: three coming up on the show in just a few moments.

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: But before we welcome and Chris, let's get to the

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: big ticket.

20
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 5: Let's do it.

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: All right.

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 3: So, as we.

23
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 4: Speak right now, not to say you should leave us

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: to go over there, but as we speak right now,

25
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 4: Tanner Scott is being introduced officially by the Los Angeles

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 4: Dodgers so Roki Sasaki. A couple of days ago, Tanner

27
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 4: Scott right now. Welcome to the club, sir, happy to

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 4: have you in that bullpen. And perhaps Kirby Yates, Clint,

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: Bob Nightingale is the only one that I have seen

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 4: report that Kirby Yates could be headed to the Los

31
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 4: Angeles Dodgers, perhaps with Michael Kopek expected to miss a

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 4: little bit of time.

33
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that that's the case.

34
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: Not to discount what Bob is saying, but Brandon Dome's

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: assistant or GM of the Dodgers came out and said

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: that Kopeck is fine. He doesn't anticipate any problems right now.

37
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: How are you reading into this?

38
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 4: As you can see Bill Plunkett saying that Kopeck was

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 4: grinding the last October like many of us were. He's

40
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: well into his offseason throwing program, So no concern. Are

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: you concerned, Clint Pesius?

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 5: I don't know that I'm concerned yet. A couple things

43
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 5: to dive into here. Obviously we have Kirby Yates. We

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 5: will say, you know, far from official. I would argue

45
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 5: that Ken Rosenthal poured a little bit of cold water

46
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 5: on Bob Nightingale's report there. But focusing on the Coopex side,

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 5: of of course, he's a very important part, very integral

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 5: part of this Dodgers bullpen. This what could be a

49
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 5: very very good Dodgers bullpen. I really like the part here.

50
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 5: Our friend Bill Plunkett says, the reports are overblown. It

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: did kind of surface and everybody sort of got very

52
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 5: very scared on the internet very quick, like, oh man,

53
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 5: what's going on with Michael Kopek. I'm not terribly worried.

54
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 5: I agree with the idea that, yeah, everybody is going

55
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 5: through something at that point in the season. Michael Kopek state,

56
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 5: you know, a state available for this team all the

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 5: way through the World Series run. So it's not something

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 5: I'm worried about. Now, let's switch to the addition the

59
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 5: potential edition edition of Kirby Yates. It's just another fantastic

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 5: move for the Dodgers. You got Tanner Scott being official

61
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 5: as we speak. That raises the ceiling, and this is

62
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: something I talked about on my show. You got a

63
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: ceiling razor and a floor razer in Kirby Yates, who

64
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 5: was arguably the second best reliever in the American League

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 5: last year behind Emmanuel class A. Just more brilliance from

66
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 5: the Dodgers front office.

67
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: It's just stupid.

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: I mean, if you think about it, even I was like,

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: oh my god, Kirby Yates too, you know, like, but

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: my goodness, you get obviously you get Blake Trynon back right.

71
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 4: We did that early on, and then they signed Tanner Scott,

72
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: which is all we were asking for. And then, by

73
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: the way, they may get Kirby Yates as well game over.

74
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 4: I mean, that is one heck of a Dodgers' bullpen,

75
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: and I like the I like the bullpen even before

76
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: the Tanner Scott signing, so I really really like the

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 4: bullpen now. But that leads me to the next question

78
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: for you, Clint. You have there's not enough room on

79
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: the Dodgers need a seventy man roster. There's not enough

80
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 4: room right now. So what would happen in terms of

81
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: getting Kirby Yates onto this roster if you figure that

82
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: is the case. We remember we talked about the fact

83
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: that the Dodgers can start moving guys around on February.

84
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 4: They can go a little earlier than twenty eight other teams.

85
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: The Potter or excuse me, the Cubs can do it too.

86
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 4: Because of that series in Tokyo. What are some movable

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 4: pieces in your mind that the Dodgers could move in

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 4: order to get Yates on the roster.

89
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean if it all depends on if he's

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: okay waiting. And this is where we also talked a

91
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: good little bit about, like the Kicky Hernandez situation, people

92
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 5: are okay waiting, it's not going to be as big

93
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 5: of an issue. I just posted the screenshot there. Of course,

94
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 5: Bob Nightingale mentioning Dodgers are looking to shop some pieces.

95
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 5: One of those guys being an obvious piece in Ryan Brazier,

96
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 5: who had some injury issues last year, kind of had

97
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: some up and downs, but was an important part of

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 5: that World Series run. But there's somebody like him. There's

99
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: maybe a Michael Grove who can find himself available in

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 5: a trade. Bobby Miller is a name I've seen some

101
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: fans try to throw out here and there. I don't

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 5: think the team looks to move Bobby Miller because he's

103
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 5: still young. Team can He's got a hundred mile hour

104
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 5: fastball when he's right, He's got a nasty change up.

105
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: I threw out the idea on on Twitter the other day,

106
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 5: and I'm not asking for it, I'm not a proponent.

107
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 5: I'm not pushing for it. I'm just saying, if they

108
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: really wanted to be creative, they could also look to

109
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 5: maybe move like a Tony Gonslin or a dust In

110
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 5: May in some sort of deal. And I understand you're

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 5: kind of selling low on dudes like that at this

112
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: point in the offseason, but you could potentially move those

113
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 5: type of dudes and you get another dude who maybe

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 5: is guaranteed to get you more innings in Jack Flerty,

115
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 5: who very much wants to return to the Dodgers. So

116
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 5: there are there's some pieces.

117
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 4: Jack Flerty was just on foul Territory with the Boys

118
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: talking about his whole free agency stuff. And I also

119
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 4: like the fact that Jack tweeted, listen, one team is

120
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: not ruining baseball. The other twenty nine are not doing

121
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: what they can do. So I like the fact that

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: he wants to be on the Dodgers. He's not there

123
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: right now yet, he's still supporting all of the offseason

124
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: moves that they're doing. We're gonna welcome in CT three

125
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 4: here momentarily as we get him linked up. We're just

126
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: working on some technical things right now with him. It's

127
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: difficult too, because as we talk about this, you know,

128
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: you never want to see some of these guys get moved.

129
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 4: But the idea is to run it back right, and

130
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: there's some massive, massive pieces and you and I talked

131
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: about this on Monday, how Andrew Friedman's like, let's get

132
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 4: these pieces now and not worry about getting big pieces

133
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: at the deadline. Let's just tweak what we need to

134
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: do with the deadline. I mean, do you think honestly

135
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 4: that going into the season, this is the best laid

136
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: team that we have put together?

137
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: And it's hard to say no, hard to argue like, no,

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 5: We've seen better teams. I mean that twenty twenty two

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 5: team that went out in one one hundred and eleven games,

140
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: that was a phenomenal baseball team, but very clearly had

141
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: some issues, had some holes in its game, and that's

142
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 5: where you know they got bounced in that first round.

143
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 5: But I mean, if you're talking about talent, like I said,

144
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 5: floor dude, floor razors and ceiling razors and being a

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: club that is built to try to run it back

146
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: this team, you can't find a better stacked team compared

147
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 5: to the league and compared to teams you know over

148
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: the last Yeah, we'll just say the Guggenheim era. You

149
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 5: can't find a team with more talent than the Los

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 5: Angeles Dodgers. So well, will there be question marks?

151
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 4: For sure?

152
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: You don't know what second base is going to look like.

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 5: Maybe the guy who's joining us in a second, Chris Taylor,

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: is part of that mix. You don't know how Mookie

155
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 5: handles short all the way, all that kind of stuff.

156
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 5: There are certainly some questions along the way. But Dodgers

157
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,880

212
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: we should have a really strong team and it's gonna

213
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: be fun.

214
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, hell of a run. Congrats, you know,

215
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: we love seeing this. You guys finally get that parade

216
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 5: that we were robbed of in twenty and robbed of

217
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 5: for different reasons in twenty seventeen perhaps, but you know,

218
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 5: how enjoyable was that parade, knowing that after just an

219
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: overall for the team, a tough season, injuries really injuries decimated,

220
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 5: that's the biggest thing. But to come put it all

221
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 5: together and it results in this moment that's got to

222
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 5: be something pretty dang special. And then of course the

223
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 5: World Series parade through La just talk about that for.

224
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: The fans, Yeah, I mean you kind of said it right.

225
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: It felt like that parade was long overdue, for especially

226
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: us guys that were on that twenty twenty team and

227
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: for me being on this team since twenty sixteen. You know,

228
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: I know how hard it is to win a World Series.

229
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: We've been there a couple times before we finally won,

230
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: and then we didn't get to celebrate that parade. So

231
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: this year was special because we won that that picture

232
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: you showed, that's that's what it's all about, right, That's like,

233
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: that's why you go through the grind of the season

234
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: and they put in all the work and all the

235
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: ups and downs for that moment to share that with

236
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: your family and then to share it with your teammates

237
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: and to finally be able to have that parade for

238
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: the entire city.

239
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,119
Speaker 2: Of Los Angeles.

240
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: You know, I think we get wrapped up, We get

241
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: caught up in our own bubble, so to speak. No

242
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: pun intended with twenty twenty, but we you know, we

243
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: obviously see the fans at the stadium, which is like

244
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: fifty thousand people, right, but you don't realize how much

245
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: support you have from all over the world. Now you know,

246
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: we're like a worldwide team now that you're bringing in

247
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: some of these international signings, and you know, to see

248
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: La show out like that for the parade was unbelievable

249
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: and it really put things in perspectives like how big.

250
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: A following we have.

251
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Obviously we know it, but to see it firsthand was

252
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: it was special.

253
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 3: It really was a site to behold.

254
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: It's so insane to see everybody in the streets cheering

255
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: you guys, and obviously but now you know, look how

256
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: good you guys had of a year last year. But

257
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 4: it's what have you done for me lately, Chris Taylor.

258
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 4: We're going to expect you guys to run it back.

259
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: Let us speak to the twenty twenty five season. In

260
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: the second half of twenty twenty four. You had a

261
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 4: really good, really good season. You made the most of

262
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: your opportunities. What can you take from the second half

263
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: into the off season into spring training to get where

264
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 4: you want to be offensively in a year ahead.

265
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just a good for my confidence to

266
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of bounce back a little bit, and not even

267
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: not even bounce back to the player I know I'm

268
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: capable of or the player I want to be this

269
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: coming season, but just to bounce back from.

270
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 2: Where I started to.

271
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: Contribute in some way. That was my only goal after

272
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: the start of my season. You know, I wanted to

273
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: help the team win anyway I could, and I wanted

274
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: my goal was to be a role in the postseason

275
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: some way. I wanted to help the team some way,

276
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: and you know, to be able to be on the

277
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: postseason roster. I'm playing a few games and be there

278
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: when we won the World Series beyond the field, when

279
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: we threw the last pitch. That was special for me

280
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: and going into this season trying to build off of that.

281
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: My goal is never to be a bench player or

282
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: a role player off the bench. My goal is to

283
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: be an everyday player, and I'm attacking the off season

284
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: that way. And I'm working on some like building on

285
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: some stuff that I was working on at the end

286
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: of the year, and I'm going into spring training hoping

287
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: to you know, have a turnaround and you know, really

288
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: contribute this season.

289
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wondered if if you could kind of expand

290
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: on that at all, because you know, read quotes from

291
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: you talking about some of the swing changes you tried

292
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 5: to implement last year leading to some of the issues

293
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 5: that were going on. Obviously there's some health issues as

294
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: well in there. Where do you feel the swing is

295
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 5: at now? What sort of things are you working on?

296
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 5: I think I think I remember something about you trying

297
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: to like level out the swing more and that's just

298
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 5: maybe not your game. Where is the swing at now?

299
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 5: And what sort of things have you guys been working

300
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 5: on in the cage?

301
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: I feel really good right now. Like I said, I built,

302
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm building off of what I kind of found at

303
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: the end of the seas and trying to improve those things.

304
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm not making any like huge changes, you know. I'm

305
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: just trying to pick a few key things with my swing,

306
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: things that I know are important for me that when

307
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: they're right, that's when I'm at my best. And I'm

308
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to make those two or three things my main

309
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: focus every day for the off season. And I think

310
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: I've fallen into the trap of chasing different targets throughout

311
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: the course of the season, and and it can be

312
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: a slippery slope and it can sometimes make things worse.

313
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: And you know, that's kind of been my focus this

314
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: off season, is not to get off track. I talked

315
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: with the hitting coaches at the end of the regular

316
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: season and kind of came up with a plan going

317
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: into the off season, and we pinpointed a few things

318
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: that were very important for me to have success, and

319
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: that's been our focus.

320
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 4: It's great wholesale changes necessary, kind of stick to what

321
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: got you there. And I remember when you got to LA, Chris.

322
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: I remember when there was the trade and Zach Lee

323
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: ended up going to Seattle and this guy by the

324
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: name of Chris Taylor comes over to Los Angeles and

325
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: it was just so good to get to know you

326
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: and become such an instrumental part of what LA was about.

327
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: And such big postseason moments and stuff. Not to say

328
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: that you're done anytime soon, but if you've taken a

329
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: moment now that you've hoisted a Trophy twice to just

330
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: kind of reflect on the career that you've had so

331
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 4: far with La and how much of a how much

332
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 4: of a change just that one trade caused in your life.

333
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it was.

334
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: It was life changing to say the least, you know,

335
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: not only for my baseball career, but for my entire life.

336
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: LA is my home now.

337
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: I met my wife here, we have a son, a

338
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: fourteen month old, So my complete like that one day

339
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: of getting traded to the Dodgers completely transform my life

340
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: in the best way possible. And I'm so thankful for that.

341
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: I truly believe that was fate. And you know, I'm

342
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: so blessed to have the opportunity to be a Dodger

343
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: and live in this city. And it's been unbelievable.

344
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: Speaking about the great city of Los Angeles. Obviously, so

345
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 5: much devastation has gone on with these wildfires. You and

346
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 5: your foundation and your wife have done your part to

347
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: pledge some help, some financial support to victims of these fires,

348
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: people that have been affected. Could you just kind of

349
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: speak more to you know, what you guys can do

350
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: and what you hope other people can help, either victims

351
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 5: or the CT three Foundation do to continue to help

352
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: people bounce back and rebuild from the devastation devastating fires.

353
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was We had that fundraiser on our Instagram

354
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: page and.

355
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: The people really showed out.

356
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: We were not expecting to get that big of contributions,

357
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: raising over fifty thousand dollars on a on an Instagram fundraiser.

358
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: It was incredible. We did not expect that. So completely

359
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: blown away by the support, which just shows that people

360
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: are looking to help, right, They want to help. They

361
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: know they've seen firsthand a lot of them the devastation

362
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: that the fires have had. And I think people are

363
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: just looking to give back, and you know, I think

364
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: that's why we we do our This is going to

369
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: my teammates. You know, I think almost my entire team

370

371
00:18:59,320 --> 00:18:59,760

Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do this year, but

385
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: I gotta do something creative, right, Uh you know we uh, well,

386
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: we'll see. I got to think about it, but maybe

387
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: we'll hand out some T shirts or something. But it

388
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: would be cool if we could have everybody dress up

389
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: or get creative with what they're wearing.

390
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 4: You're gonna have the flippy floppies with it, no doubt

00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: out there as well doing all the stuff for the community.

396
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: I look back at the career that you've had so

397
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 4: far with LA and I just feel like there's still

398
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 4: so much that this team wants to achieve as a

399
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 4: member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Chris, how much can

400
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 4: you appreciate if you do, I don't want to put

401
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 4: words in your mouth, but the job that the ownership

402
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: group does, giving you guys the tools and the players

403
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: that surround you to run it back. I mean at

404
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 4: spring training everyone's hopeful, right, but the Dodgers have a

405
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: legitimate chance every single year.

406
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 3: Can you speak to that.

407
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's what every player wants. I think

408
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: that's a big reason guys want to come play here.

409
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: They know that the guys up top want to win

410
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: a World Series, and the goal each and every year

411
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: is to want to win a World Series, just like

412
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: the players. Unfortunately, it's not that way in every organization.

413
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: So we are very lucky. Every off season it feels like,

414
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: whether it's the off season or the trade deadline or

415
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we're always making moves with an intention

416
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: to win this year. And that's why I want to

417
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,239
Speaker 1: be here. I've always said the most important games of

418
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: my life and the biggest moments of my career are

419
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: always in October. It's you know, there's big games in

420
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: the regular season, but once you get a taste of

421
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: playing in the postseason, nothing really compares to that. And

422
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: that's my goal. I want to be there in the postseason.

423
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: And that is really, that's truly what really matters at

424
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: the end of the year. And I think when I

425
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: look back at my career, those are going to be

426
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: all the memories I have that really stick out.

427
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm barring or mcgeddon. The Dodgers are in the

428
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 4: postseason every single year. Let me ask you this. When

429
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 4: you hear folks say that the Dodgers are ruining baseball

430
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: by all of the signings and deferrals, what is your

431
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 4: sort of that.

432
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean I've seen a few people comment

433
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: on this, and I kind of agree with them. I

434
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: think we're doing all the right things. You know, the

435
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: goal should be for every team to win this year,

436
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes it most exciting. And

437
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think they should be mad at us.

438
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: They should be mad at their own teams for not

439
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: making those moves, you know, And and it's I think

440
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: a counter argument could also be, you know, it's good

441
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: for baseball to have a villain, right and if we

442
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: have to be the villain, then that makes for more entertainment.

443
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: I think, you know, guys having Shohe and Freddie and

444
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Mookie and Roki and Yoshi and all these guys on

445
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: the same team playing on TV for one of the

446
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: biggest franchises and sports, I don't see how that could

447
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: be bad.

448
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 5: Get backing off of that, people that have something negative

449
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 5: to say about all of the work this team is

450
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 5: doing in the offseason and even last year probably didn't

451
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 5: see this team, you know, in August and September when everybody,

452
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 5: every player, every pitcher were just falling like flies with injury.

453
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 5: I want to this is kind of selfishly for me.

454
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 5: I want to go back to we heard on Mookie

455
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 5: Betts podcast, amongst other spots, Dave we manager Dave Roberts

456
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: had a message to the team early in September, after

457
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: you guys learned Tyler Glass now probably out for the

458
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: season and the postseason and all that the rare closed

459
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 5: door meeting from Doc. What kind of was the message

460
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 5: there and how did that prove to or help to

461
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 5: galvanize the boys and get over that hump that he'd

462
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: been chasing since you know twenty twenty.

463
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were in Atlanta at the time. I think,

464
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: as you said, glass Now had just been injured, Stone

465
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: had just come off being out for the year.

466
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: We had a few other pictures. I think Kershaw was out.

467
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: And at the time, I think we only had like

468
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: three or four starting pitchers that were healthy. A lot

469
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: of those that guys that have been in Triple A

470
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: most of the year. So we were definitely grinding a

471
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: little bit, and doctors called the guys together. I mean,

472
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: the vibe was down a little bit obviously with the

473
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: news of glass Now. I think with everybody, the staff,

474
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: the players, front office, and he called that meeting and

475
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: kind of just told us like, we're gonna do this

476
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,719
Speaker 1: thing together. He believes in us. We're gonna lean on

477
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: one another and guys are gonna.

478
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 2: Have to step up.

479
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: Basically, guys that haven't contributed up to this point are

480
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: gonna have to step up and be those guys. And

481
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: we where the Dodgers. We have the deepest organization and

482
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,239
Speaker 1: all of baseball on our mind, and guys have been

483
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 1: waiting for the opportunity and they're going to have it now.

484
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think it just kind of re energized

485
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: us and gave us that push on the back half

486
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: of the season and into the postseason.

487
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 5: All right, well, we'll let you get out of here.

488
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: On what I'm gonna call a dumb one, another selfish one.

489
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 5: For friends on the internet, we talked about seeing on

490
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 5: the internet a whole bunch Dodgers are bad for baseball.

491
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 5: Chris Taylor. If you've been on the internet at any

492
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 5: point in your life, you've seen Chris Taylor has never

493
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 5: done anything wrong in his life. When you see that,

494
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 5: what is that kind of I see it, a listit

495
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 5: a smile right away. What does that do for you?

496
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 5: And is that just one of those things that's the

497
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 5: funny secondary stuff of being a pro baseball player.

498
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's funny to me because it's so wrong,

499
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: and my wife can attest to that. I mean, I

500
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: think maybe it's just one of those things where I

501
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: have a reserved person and I think it does take

502
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 1: a little while to get to know me, and people

503
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: see that shyness as innocence or I don't know what

504
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: it is, but I promise you I do a lot wrong.

505
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: He should see.

506
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 5: Such juvenile rap sheet. I mean, so many thefts.

507
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 4: I think I'm going to ask both of the both

508
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 4: of the Mary Taylor's about that. I'm going to ask

509
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 4: Mary Taylor the mom, and I'm going to ask Mary

510
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 4: Taylor the wife about that. To see what Chris Taylor

511
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 4: has done wrong in his career.

512
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: Nothing criminal, like I'm not intentionally doing anything wrong, but

513
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: accidentally I make a lot of mistakes.
