1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,760
Speaker 1: With Bonda.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 2: The fact that this team needs roster space. I think

3
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: that's the thing that works the most against and that

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: and the options is where you can see a tough

5
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: move happen. This is every bit of a business when

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: it comes down to it.

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 3: Hello everybody, and welcome to a brand new episode of

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers Territory on this Thursday, November twentieth. I'm Alana Rizzo.

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: That is Clint to see us. Clint, how are you doing.

10
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: I am good.

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 2: You know, it's been rainy over here in my neck

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 2: of the woods, and of course people don't know how

13
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: to drive, people don't know how to live. But it

14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: still doesn't take away the fact that, you know, we

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: had the basking and the glow of the Dodgers being

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: two time World Series champs. We're trying to see this

17
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: team get better. It's rumor season. It's my favorite time

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: of year.

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: It is rumor season. Guys, don't forget to rate us

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: five stars, like and subscribe to Dodgers' Territory. We're trying

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 3: to get to fifteen thousand subs. We appreciate it very much.

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: Of course on YouTube anywhere that you get your podcasts,

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: we are always appreciative of the support. Happy that your

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,639
Speaker 3: guys are here. By the way, Baseball America Senior editor

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: Josh Norris is going to be joining us today. But first,

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: speaking of the rumor mill, Clint Pasius, let's get to

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: the big ticket.

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: It's there.

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: We bring up some non Dodger news, Clint, because it

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 3: is somewhat related to the Dodgers.

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 4: Right.

32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 3: We were talking on Monday about the potential closer market

33
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 3: and whether or not Devin Williams or somebody else would

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: make sense to kind of shore up the back end

35
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 3: of the Dodgers' bullpen. Well, I can tell you, sir,

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 3: it's not going to be ryceel Iglesias, because he has

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: gone back to the Atlanta Braves. He could have very

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: well have been traded at the deadline by the Braves,

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: but he wasn't. And now they've signed, they assigned him

40
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: to a new deal. So what does that mean for

41
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have to do with us?

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So where this is intriguing here is that we

43
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: did learn here. Francis Romero, who covers the Baseball and

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: the Rumors on the social media machine, pointed out.

45
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: The Dodgers actually reportedly had.

46
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: An offer out there Glaciers does ultimately re sign with

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: Atlanta for I think it's sixteen and a half million.

48
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Dollars or something like that.

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: But to me, this tells us Dodgers are serious in

50
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: their intentions. They are looking to add some back end

51
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: of the bullpen, high leverage, relief arm, whatever it may be.

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: We know they are interested in Devin Williams. We know

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: they apparently are interested in this guy I Glaciers to

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: maybe be some sort of Kirby Yates. What Kirby Yates

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: couldn't be for the Dodgers in twenty twenty five. We

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: do know the Dodgers right now, they have a pretty

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: good bullpen by the time you get to August, by

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: the time you get to September. They need some help

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: early in the season. They need help across the course

60
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: of the season. Somebody who can plug in at any

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: point in the game and potentially, you know, pick up

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: some saves for them. And that's something, of course, is

63
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: more important for you. You want somebody who can at

64
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: least lock it down in the ninth inning, which we

65
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: know Iglesius is done over the course.

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: Of his career.

67
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: But I'd like knowing that they're operating at the top

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: of the market.

69
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: Again, I just don't want a revolving door anymore in

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: terms of the back end of the bullpen. And I

71
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: do think that Dave Roberts doesn't get enough credit for

72
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: how he managed the bullpen this season. Obviously, in the

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: off season last year, Clint coming into this year, Andrew Friedman,

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts front office ownership did such a tremendous job

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: building up the bullpen, right, Kirby Yates, Tanner Scott, all

76
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: of these different guys were like, man, we're so stacked

77
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: as far as bullpen arms are concerned. Well, it didn't

78
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: work out that well. It didn't work out that way.

79
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 3: Obviously in the postseason we lost Alex Bessia. We now

80
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: know why. That's far bigger than baseball. That's exactly where

81
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: he needed to be. But I just it was so

82
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: nerve wracking the whole, you know, revolving door, the harrissel

83
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: of who's going to come in. Obviously Roki Sosaki stepped

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 3: up massive in that role as a closer, if you will,

85
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: But the plan is for him to be a starter, right,

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: so you don't have Roki in the bullpen. Evan Phillips,

87
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: what are we going to do with him. That's a

88
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: conversation we're going to have later on in the show.

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: Blake Trin and he's not necessarily quite the same Blake

90
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: Trynt and he was when he was massively productive in

91
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. So whether it is now not right

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: a cell Iglesias, and really that's the only report I

93
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: had heard about that in terms of perhaps he does go.

94
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 3: You know that he the Dodgers did have an offer

95
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 3: out for him, But whether it's a Devin Williams or

96
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: what if it's an Edwin Diaz. I mean, I don't

97
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: know if the Dodgers are going to want to spend

98
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: that type of money, but he's probably the best closer

99
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: relief arm that's available right now on the market. But

100
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: that is to be said that if this is in

101
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: fact true and there was an offer on the table

102
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: for Iglesias, you're right the Dodgers are looking for maybe

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: not a closer, but for a high leverage arm.

104
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we know, again we've talked already about Devin Williams.

105
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: I think they will be pretty significantly interested. And in

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: that market that we've heard other names as well, somebody

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: like a Pete Fairbanks, you and I were talking a

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: little bit about him in our pre production call.

109
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: Pete Fairbanks is one of those dudes who's long been.

110
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: Linked to the Dodgers, somebody who has and he has

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: plus stuff. It seems like he would be better off

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: pitching on the West Coast.

113
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: He says he struggles.

114
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: With kind of the cold in the early part of

115
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: the season there in the Al East.

116
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: You're not as certain about Fairbanks.

117
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: Though, Well, you know, I don't know. I mean I

118
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: and you and I again, when we're in pre production meetings,

119
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: like you know, you're the one doing putting all the

120
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: run down together. I was out there kind of walking

121
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: my dog and I was like thinking, well, I don't know,

122
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: you know, Pete Fairbanks, and I understand the tie in

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: because of the whole Andrew Friedman tiede and the Tampa

124
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: Bay Rays, and I was like, I'm not really sure

125
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: if that makes the most sense. But then you brought

126
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 3: it up and I'm looking at it here right now

127
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 3: on Baseball Reference, E er A last year actually really good.

128
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's south of three. It's a two eight,

129
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: three sixty one games, forty eight games that he you know,

130
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: he finished twenty seven saves okay, in the in those

131
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: forty seven games, so those are decent numbers. Right. He's

132
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: been with Tampa Bay for the majority of his career.

133
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: He was with Texas for like a cup of coffee.

134
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: You know. You say that he doesn't or he says

135
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 3: that he doesn't really like pitching in the cold early

136
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: on in the season, that's fine, but he's gonna have

137
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: I mean, the Dodgers travel, you know what I mean.

138
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: So even if, even if you know, the majority of

139
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 3: his save opportunities or whatever are at home, he's gonna

140
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: have to pitch on the road. So you can't let

141
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: the weather, I don't know, affect you that much in

142
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 3: my opinion, when you're a reliever.

143
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.

144
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know that he's a closer guy,

145
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 3: but I'm not I wouldn't be mad if Pete Fairbanks

146
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 3: was in the Dodgers root or Dodgers' bullpen as a

147
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 3: high leverage reliever, especially if you obviously have Alex Vesia back,

148
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: which we do. What's gonna happen with Evan Phillips, What's

149
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 3: gonna happen with Anthony Bonda? Is Scott but Tanner Scott's

150
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: under contract. The other two it could easily be non tender.

151
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess you could. I guess you

152
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: could trade Tanner Scott, but no one's gonna pick up

153
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: the contract or you can just eat it.

154
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

155
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: And in terms of all of those names, what I

156
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: do like about them is that assumedly somebody like Pete

157
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: Fairbanks as well, there are all people that are open

158
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: to and willing to pitch in just about any role.

159
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: The save numbers aren't important to them.

160
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: I think that is a factor too, and why Iglesias

161
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: probably would be less inclined to sign with the Dodgers

162
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: as he does have a decent amount of, you know,

163
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: career saves under his belt. Maybe that means something to

164
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: him trying to get to like three hundred saves in

165
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: his career. I think he's not very far off a

166
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: name that we've kind of talked about.

167
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: A little bit here.

168
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: This is the first offseason where I feel like a

169
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: Kenley Jensen reunion would make sense. But he's also super

170
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: close to five hundred saves in his career, and I

171
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: don't know that he would be the anointed de facto

172
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: lion share closer if he were to re sign with

173
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, as were somebody at Pete Fairbanks. Dude has

174
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: ninety career saves right now. Clearly closing is not the

175
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: most important thing to him. I think he wants to

176
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: be the next Tampa Ray, like you know Snell and

177
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: glass Now before him to come, you couldn't beat him

178
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: before come to LA and let's get.

179
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: That ring baby.

180
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: That's that's quite the path to follow, right. I mean,

181
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: you saw what it did for Blake Snell, you saw

182
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: what it did for Tyler Glassen. Now I mean Dodgers

183
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: being a Dodger or LA. We have talked about for

184
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. It's a destination now, right,

185
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: Like folks want to play in Los Angeles for a

186
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: variety of reasons. It's interesting, though we've talked about this

187
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: at length. We did it on foul Territory, we did

188
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: it on Fair Territory today with Ken Rosenthal. The closer

189
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: market is rich, right, There's a lot of really good

190
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: arms out there in the closer market. It's kind of

191
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: like the shortstop market was a couple of years ago

192
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: when there were a lot of really big names all

193
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: in free agency. So it'll be interesting to see who

194
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: if anybody the Dodgers land in that. You're talking about

195
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: Kenlly Jansen and a possible reunion. What about Cody Bellinger

196
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 3: in a possible reunion. We talked about this a little

197
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: bit on Monday, but there is again this is rumor season, guys, right,

198
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 3: This is all speculative. Of course, rumor surface shortly after

199
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: we were talking about it about a potential reunion with

200
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: Belly bamb on Monday. This from Jeff passon the Ultimate

201
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: Preview for the MLB Off Season, Everything you need to

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: know about the top free agents. Could Belly be back

203
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 3: in La Clint Pasias.

204
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we've heard a couple of rumors. We

205
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: heard a couple of links about it. Jeff Passing had mentioned,

206
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: you know, there is interest from the Dodger side that

207
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: think there's interest in both sides. We've heard Scott Boris

208
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 2: say that he, you know, Belly would welcome a return

209
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: to La. There's a lot of positive memories, a lot

210
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: of positive vibes associated with it. Less so you know,

211
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: you forget about twenty one and twenty two in the

212
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: struggles there coming back from shoulder surgery and kind of

213
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: just you know, falling out of the good graces of

214
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: the organization and sort of being a disenchant did with

215
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: both of each other. I think sometimes, you know, I

216
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: like to believe.

217
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: You know, you don't.

218
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: You don't get back with an X or whatever. But

219
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: sometimes a couple of years apart can be a good thing.

220
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: He's he's kind of turned himself back into a very

221
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: very sturdy baseball player. Whether or not the Dodgers would actually,

222
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: you know, let's say, get into some sort of bidding

223
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: war for a Cody Bellinger, I don't think so. It's

224
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: gonna come down to the years, not the money with Cody.

225
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: And this is something you know they've they've pretty much

226
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: that's how the Dodgers operate. They won't go to your market,

227
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: you come down to us.

228
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: It makes sense in a lot of ways.

229
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: Left field, right field still can play probably a little

230
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: bit of center field back in LA.

231
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: I would be.

232
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: Surprised if it does happen, but I would not be shocked.

233
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 3: What's say you, I don't think it's gonna be any

234
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: situation in which you get into a bidding war for

235
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger. I don't know that Cody is the player

236
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: anymore where it would warrant a bidding war. I don't know.

237
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 3: I think a lot of it depends on where Cody

238
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 3: wants to play, obviously, but I think it also depends

239
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 3: on what makes the most sense. I love Cody's defense.

240
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: I've always thought Cody was very good defensively, particularly in

241
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 3: center field. So I don't know what that means. I

242
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: think it kind of depends on what they do. I've

243
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: said this before. I think Tay Oscar should move to left. Yeah,

244
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: I think that we need a bona fide center fielder.

245
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: And then I don't know what that means for right field.

246
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: A lot of folks are saying, no, no, Kyle Tucker.

247
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: You don't want to spend that kind of money on

248
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker. But maybe it's Stephen Kwan. You and I

249
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: talked about that good back to ball skills, very good defensively.

250
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: Maybe you leave Tao and right. I don't know. Maybe

251
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 3: you put Cody in right, Maybe you put Stephen in center,

252
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Maybe you put Belly and left. I don't know. I

253
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: just feel like the outfield's all over the place.

254
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: It really is.

255
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: I mean, they're in a pretty interesting spot too, Like

256
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: they don't need to make the Dodgers don't need to

257
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: make a move. And this is something that Brandon Gomes,

258
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 2: Dodger general manager, said at the GM meetings, just you know,

259
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: a week or so ago, like they are not in

260
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 2: a position where they.

261
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Are forced to make a move.

262
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: If if they went into next season with all of

263
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: the bodies they have, maybe you do need to bring back,

264
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: at the bare minimum one of Miguel Rojas or Orqike Hernandez.

265
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: But they still have Alex call around, who.

266
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: Is a big league caliber outfielder. They just added Ryan

267
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: Ward to to the forty man roster, somebody we talked

268
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 2: to on my All Dodgers YouTube channel yesterday and check

269
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: it out.

270
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: What are you doing with Paz.

271
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: Well, Paz is as of now, Uh, you're your centerfielder,

272
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 2: You're you're starting centerfielder.

273
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: That it's not the best situation. I mean, he had

274
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: a pretty good year.

275
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 3: He has some respect. I mean maybe that's maybe that's

276
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: just gone.

277
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: He got better over the course of the season, and

278
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: I think that's something to really take into consideration when

279
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: it comes Andy Pies, that he he keeps getting better.

280
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: Year over year.

281
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: He's only entering his his third full season next year,

282
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 2: and you hope that he continues to to trend in

283
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: the right direction. Work on some stuff this winter as well.

284
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: You know, he'll be spending some time at Dodger Stadium

285
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: with Dino Ebel and Chris Woodward whoever else is hanging

286
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: out there, because Dodger Stadium is a twenty four to seven.

287
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 2: You know, it's the best Golds gym you can get

288
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: for sure, and the best version of a drive line,

289
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 2: you know, baseball facility and all that. It's a really

290
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: good spot to be working out and hanging out with

291
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: the boys and keep getting better. And I have a

292
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: lot of faith in Andy pot is continuing to trend

293
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: in the right direction. Maybe he's not gonna be that

294
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: guy that you know, hit over three hundred, close to

295
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: three forty in the month of I think it was

296
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: May or June last year, but something where it's a

297
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: little bit more even, it's a little bit more balanced.

298
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Maybe mix a few walks in there. Definitely work on

299
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: the base running. But he is as of right now,

300
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: he is your starting centerfielder. And I don't think they

301
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 2: signed a center fielder.

302
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: Leisheva Jones is screaming. Lsheva Jones is screaming at me

303
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 3: right now. Bellinger cannot do center field. Look at his

304
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: numbers from twenty twenty five, No on, no on belly.

305
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: Pat has played a good CF Exodus is saying this,

306
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: he still had a good season. He'll get better at

307
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: the plate, all right, So that's a that's a vote

308
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: for pot his Yeah, all right, all right, all right, people,

309
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm listening to you. I'm listening to you. So here

310
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: is a deadline on the Major League Baseball calendar, Clint,

311
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: that we need to talk about Tomorrow. The twenty first

312
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 3: is the non tender deadline for Major League Baseball. So

313
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: per MLB tr trade rumors, the Dodgers have three non

314
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: tendered candidates, and ironically they're all relievers, right handed pitcher

315
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: Evan Phillips, Brock Stewart, so Beef is on there, and

316
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: then Anthony Bonda. Now on that first of all, Evan

317
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: Phillips on the list surprises me until you look at

318
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: the projected money attached to him. So if there was

319
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: anybody Clint that perhaps would be non tendered by the Dodgers,

320
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: it would likely be Evan Phillips if they're looking to

321
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: make some of the cash. What's your opinion on those three?

322
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, between those three, you know, Evan Phillips.

323
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: It's just money, and it's kind of a lottery ticket

324
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 2: for if you're looking down the road, if e Philly,

325
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: if high leverage, honeymoon is healthy when you get into

326
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: August and September. If I'm the Dodgers, understanding that I

327
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: just print money, I manufacture money, I am happy to

328
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: spend the six million dollars. Again, these are projected arbitration figures.

329
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: You could find a situation as well where the Dodgers

330
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 2: come to some sort of you know, one plus one agreement.

331
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: They did it with Tony Gonsolin when he was heading

332
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 2: into Tommy John surgery.

333
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lazy way of saying it.

334
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: But they've done that in the past where some guys

335
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: are injured and you find a way to do a

336
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 2: one year deal with an option, but still six million dollars.

337
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: That's chump change for this team. In knowing that you

338
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: could have somebody who is who has been a closer

339
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: for this team in the past. He is absolutely every

340
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: bit of a leverage arm at the back end of

341
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: a bullpen, and that is chump change. Going back to

342
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: that list, a couple of names like Brock Stewart, I

343
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 2: didn't really. I didn't really think about it until I

344
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: should say I didn't agree with him being a non

345
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: tender candidate until I started thinking about a little bit more.

346
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Just because he is coming off with surgery. He is

347
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: also somebody who might maybe not be ready for opening day.

348
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: They do need bodies that are ready for opening day,

349
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: so he is a strong maybe the Bonder one is

350
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: obviously the toughest one that kind of you know, tugs

351
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: at people's heartstrings a little bit there.

352
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, the lovely ladies of la are going

353
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: to lose their mind. Yeah, goes to another team. They

354
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: love him, man, he is a chick magnet if you will.

355
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know he's he's solid. He is absolutely

356
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: a solid piece in that bullpen.

357
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: However, he does.

358
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 2: Not have options in twenty twenty six. He didn't in

359
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: twenty five either, but he doesn't have options and they

360
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 2: are you know, this is an organization that loves to

361
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: be able to have at least a little bit of.

362
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: You know, team control. It's not the money so much.

363
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: They have a bunch of lefties as well with with

364
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: you know, we mentioned Tanner, Scott, alex Vesia, Ronan Copp

365
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: now being on the on the roster as well.

366
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: On the forty man roster.

367
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: So we find out tomorrow where they end up going

368
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: with this, you know, with this decision with the non

369
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: tender deadline, somebody who also could maybe I mean he

370
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: wouldn't be tendered to contract because he's.

371
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Not arbitration eligible lot yet.

372
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: But I mentioned a couple of weeks ago you could

373
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: find a way to make roster space by by cutting

374
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 2: Bobby Miller or whatever. But to this section of the

375
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: show before we take a break and then eventually welcome

376
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 2: in Josh here in a minute or two with Bonda.

377
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: The fact that this team needs roster space. I think

378
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: that's the thing that works the most against them. That

379
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 2: and the options is where you can see a tough

380
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: move happen. And this is a you know, you know,

381
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: is this is every bit of a business when it

382
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: comes down to it.

383
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, as a player, you don't necessarily want

384
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: to have options because you don't want to get keep

385
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 3: getting bounced up and down, up and down. You don't

386
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 3: want to have to ride that triple A to the

387
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: big league level elevator. But at the same time, it's

388
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 3: like it is a very sticky and scary situation when

389
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: they might just be like, see ya, we're going to

390
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 3: let you go and nontender you and see if another

391
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 3: team picks them up.

392
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: But think of the frequent flyer miles.

393
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: No thanks, no, thank you so much, no thank you.

394
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna welcome in Josh Norris from Baseball America here momentarily.

395
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: But before we do that and talk to him all

434
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 2: a senior editor over at Baseball America. Sorry for I mean,

435
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: I'm give it intro. That's a heck of an intro,

436
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 2: I tell you what. But Josh does a great job,

437
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 2: of course covering all things prospects.

438
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: The latest Dodgers top.

439
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 2: Ten prospects list just dropped a couple of days ago,

440
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: and there are certainly a number of names that fans

441
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: are familiar with that they're excited to either see come

442
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 2: up and help this organization or maybe be traded and

443
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: help this organization. Before we dive into those guys, I

444
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: wanted to get your you pick your brain a little

445
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: bit about two names that were just added to the

446
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: forty man roster you rule five protection here, Ronan Copp,

447
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: left handed pitcher and outfielder Ryan Ward. What can you

448
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 2: tell people about these two guys in particular, and yeah,

449
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: how they could potentially help this organization moving forward in

450
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: twenty six.

451
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 4: Well, Ryan Ward is powerful and he's done a really

452
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: good job of cutting the stripes, I'm sorry, the swinging

453
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: miss and chase over the last couple of years, and

454
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 4: that's really what led with roster protection. I think he's

455
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: he's gonna hit the ball hard, he's gonna hit the

456
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 4: ball often.

457
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I will grant you.

458
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 4: It was the third try in triple A, so I

459
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: was a little skeptical about him. But it would have

460
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 4: been a guy who might have gotten taken in the

461
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: Rule five draft, just because power is in rare supply.

462
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: And by that same token, a guy like Ronan Cop.

463
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: You know, he has two really good pitches, and his

464
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 4: slider and his fastball fastball up to ninety nine, slider

465
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: if you can believe it, up to ninety four, and

466
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: those two in combination allowed him to strike out a

467
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 4: lot of guys, but he also walked a lot of guys.

468
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 4: But I think there's a chance that if he if

469
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 4: he had gotten onto the open market, he might have

470
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 4: been taken.

471
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Josh Crazy be with you. Thanks for being on the

472
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: show today. We appreciate your time. The Dodgers are dealing

473
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 3: with a bit of a forty man roster crunch, and

474
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: as such, they weren't able to protect all Rule five

475
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: eligible guys that they may have wanted to. Was there

476
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 3: anybody that you were a little bit shocked to see

477
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: them not protect.

478
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: Shocked is probably the wrong word. But the guy that

479
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: jumped out to me was Jose Rodriguez. He hits a

480
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 4: lot of checkpoints when it comes to guys who might

481
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 4: be selected. A little bit of a knee injury this year,

482
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: but he's big, he's got an outlier delivery, he's up

483
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: to seven feet of extension, his fastballs up to one

484
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour. His slider got fifty percent miss,

485
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 4: his change up got sixty five percent miss. Kind of

486
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 4: a nugget I found while doing that was that, you know,

487
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: of the five most missed changeups among guys who threw

488
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 4: it one hundred times in the minor leagues, three were

489
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 4: at one time Dodgers. That's Ryan brown Hill, a Dodger,

490
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:43,160
Speaker 4: Sean Paul Dignan who was traded to the Nationals, and Rodriguez.

491
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: That's between sixty five and seventy something percent miss and

492
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 4: all those change ups. So they had some good change

493
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: up artists this year for sure.

494
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they find a way to just just kind of

495
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: keep printing some of these dudes. It feels like, you know,

496
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers and guys who could throw a fastball really really hard,

497
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: maybe don't always know where it's going and the you

498
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: know the next guy? Uh, you know you mentioned ron

499
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 2: A copp earlier. I think he's somebody who can help

500
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: this organization. We saw Jack Dryer last year. I don't

501
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: want to talk so much more about the pitcher.

502
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 1: Side of it. I want to talk about where they

503
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: are overstacked. You can argue in the outfield.

504
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: I think half of your top ten list is outfielders

505
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 2: right now. Who is the closest in your estimation of

506
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: being a potential big league contributor now or sooner rather

507
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: than you know later, With any of the other you

508
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: know four names on that list.

509
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 6: I would say probably Depaula.

510
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: He had double a time and he has fewer awards

511
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 4: in the profile. I think he's not going to have

512
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 4: the most defensive value, but he's got the highest upside.

513
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 4: He's a He's a guy who hit the ball very hard.

514
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: He knows the strike zone. He's smart enough on the

515
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 4: bases to get past you know, middling speed at best,

516
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 4: to steal thirty bags this year. But every time we

517
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: talked to someone, and I don't like to do comps,

518
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: but it comes up so often, the name is jor

519
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 4: Don Alvarez, also a former Dodgers prospection. That's the kind

520
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 4: of upside we're looking at here. Whether he fits in

521
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 4: the outfield long term is an.

522
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 6: Open secret or open question.

523
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 4: He got better at it, but he's never gonna be,

524
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 4: you know, a bold Glover or anything other than that.

525
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: You know, the other guys don't have upper level time.

526
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 4: You know, quin Taro had, you know, got a high

527
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 4: A this year was really good. Dablon obviously just starting

528
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 4: his career. Hope did get to do double D. My

529
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: my apology for misspeaking there. But I think of those two,

530
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 4: the way I ranked him was to Paula over Hope

531
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 4: because he's just more complete hitter in my opinion.

532
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 3: Josh Hustle ed, Depaula is someone who was a lot

533
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: of people excited for his future, big power, speed guy,

534
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 3: maybe not as an outfielder. What can you tell us

535
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 3: about him? And is that a move that can still

536
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: happen to the big league level.

537
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't play in first base.

538
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, talking more about Depaula, that that's something where we've

539
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: heard kind of him being potentially a first baseman, like

540
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 2: them trying to move him to the first basement. I

541
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: know they're trying to be creative with him, or at

542
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: least fans are.

543
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: Is that a movie that happened, Yeah, I think it could.

544
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 4: That's a bat that you want to get in your lineup,

545
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 4: no matter what I mean. It's not a one to

546
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: one comp but think of a guy like Ryan Mountcastle

547
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: with the Orioles, where where everybody knew coming up he

548
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: was gonna hit, but nobody thought he was gonna play

549
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 4: yours up. But they found ways to get him in

550
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 4: the in the lineup because his bat was just good enough.

551
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 4: That's kind of thing I.

552
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 6: Think you're gonna see with DePaul.

553
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: He's gonna move somewhere where they needed wherever they need him,

554
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 4: They're gonna find a way to get that bat in there. Obviously,

555
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: he has to show some upper level success first. You know,

556
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 4: we'll have that little cameo toward the end of the year.

557
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 4: But he's a guy I think we'll figure into their

558
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 4: long term plans and maybe as soon as some point

559
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 4: this year.

560
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: Jackson Ferris Josh took a bit of a step back

561
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five. Is he still somebody that can

562
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 3: can can make some noise?

563
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: I think he needs to get it.

564
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 4: Sounds like from inside the oar he needs to get

565
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 4: a little stronger so he can go deeper into games.

566
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: And there was a little bit command issues based on

567
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: that delivery, a little you know, excess movement in the

568
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 4: back that kind of inhibits his ability to throw strikes

569
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 4: even quality and quantity, so he can get there. He's

570
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: got the row stuff, but there needs to be more development,

571
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: and you know, doing this system, I'll be honest, I

572
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,479
Speaker 4: haven't written the eleventh to thirty yet, but I can

573
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: tell you just looking at it, it's not the most

574
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: pitching deep system you've got right now. And some of

575
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: that's because of trades and some of that's just because

576
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: you've got a lot of guys clustered at the lower levels.

577
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: But Ferris has the stuff. He just needs to take

578
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 4: a jump and control with commanded stamina this year.

579
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 2: You know, another one of the outfielders of the Mini

580
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: that is on that list is somebody who was traded

581
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: to LA along with Ferris zire Hope, somebody who some

582
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: people haven't protected to have a whole bunch of power.

583
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 2: We know he's got speed, we know he can kind

584
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 2: of flag him down in center field.

585
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: What can you tell fans about zire Hope?

586
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: How far away he is. I think he's only twenty.

587
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: He turns twenty one this year, coming up next year,

588
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: early next year. But somebody seems to have a lot

589
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 2: of upside. Yeah, what can you tell us about hope?

590
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 4: He has a lot of upside, But there's also a

591
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 4: lot of holes in the profile of the four Outfielder's

592
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 4: gonna bring up my data here, Like.

593
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 6: He missed the most, he missed the most in the zone.

594
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: He struggled mightily against left handers. He wasn't great against

595
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 4: changeups this year. So there's a lot of holes to

596
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 4: close before he can get to his upside. I understand

597
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: he's one of the more hyped prospects in the miners,

598
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 4: and he's.

599
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 6: Good, don't get me wrong.

600
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 4: But I feel like there's always been a gulf between

601
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: the hype on the internet and some spots. And I

602
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 4: fully acknowledge I'm part of the internet and maybe reality.

603
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: Like there's it's not a slam dunk sort of profile.

604
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: I understand there's lots of elements, and you mentioned to

605
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 4: go get him in center field. I don't know anyone

606
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 4: who thinks he's gonna stick in center field. I think

607
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 4: this is a corner guy, and the problem there is.

608
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 4: If he's a corner guy, he's got to start showing

609
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: that power more and more often, that more that offensive profile.

610
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 4: If you can't do that, then he's a tweeener, and

611
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 4: that's probably not what you want.

612
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 6: Obviously.

613
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 4: That's why I ranked him fourth among this group. It's

614
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: if you talk to four different scouts, you could probably

615
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 4: get four different orders of these guys. You know, I've

616
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 4: met guys who said, hey, you're crazy for rankings iier

617
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: Hope here. I've met guys who say, hey, you're crazy

618
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: for going with Quintaro at one. It's when you see him.

619
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: It's it's not a science. It's a little bit of

620
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 4: art too, So it's not it's it's completely reasonable to

621
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 4: have them in a bunch of different orders. But I

622
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 4: think I went with Hope there because there's just enough

623
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 4: holes in the profile to maybe question whether he gets

624
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: to that upset.

625
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's it's funny with this organization, you

626
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: know it. I kind of feel like as a Dodger fan,

627
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: you know, we they this is an organization that is

628
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: blessed with the ability to go out and find talent

629
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 2: and add talent and and kind of create prospects you know,

630
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: over using the whole creation as an idea here, But

631
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: they are very good at making players that other organizations

632
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: or other fan bases are really excited about. But this

633
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: feels to me like a weaker list than what we've

634
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 2: seen in recent years. You and I were talking earlier.

635
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: It's not as as pitching happy or pitching loaded as

636
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: it has been in years past. And we know other

637
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 2: organizations love pitchers a whole bunch. All of that to say,

638
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned Eduardo Cantaro at number one on

639
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: your list. Admittedly him being number one, he is the

640
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: guy I know the least about. I don't know, maybe

641
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: that's an indictment on me here, but Kintaro, is this

642
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: somebody who's somebody actually helped this team or more of

643
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,239
Speaker 2: a trade guy? Or is he just kind of a

644
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: flash in the pan hoping that all of the tools

645
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: sort of pan out.

646
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: Will this team you mean twenty twenty six Dodgers, yeah,

647
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: or just in general? I mean, I would see I

648
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 4: would say that he is he has a really good

649
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 4: chance to do it. I picked him at number one

650
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: because he's got the most well rounded skill set. I

651
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 4: think he's got a really good chance. It's not a

652
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: slam dunk. It's maybe a contested layup to stick in

653
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: center field.

654
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 6: But he's the one.

655
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 4: Of Depaula and Hope, and so maybe Serotis wrote is

656
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: a little bit of a wild card based on what

657
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 4: happens when he when he comes back from the knee,

658
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 4: he's got a chance to stick in center field too.

659
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: But that's a guy that I have a little bit

660
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 4: of history with. I saw him in the Complex League

661
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 4: two years ago, and I remember seeing the first thing

662
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: I saw. I texted my bosses and said, this is

663
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 4: going to be a top fifty prospect in a couple

664
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 4: of years. Like it was just that kind of you

665
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: you know it when you see it sort of guy

666
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 4: with him, and then you know he was okay the

667
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: next year. But this year he had a little more

668
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: loft to his swing without sacrificing much contact and started

669
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 4: hitting more home runs. And that translated up to Hia Great.

670
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 6: Lakes to a degree. So this is the guy who's

671
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 6: really well.

672
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 4: Rounded, and I think, you know he has a chance

673
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 4: to impact the Dodgers.

674
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 6: But you're absolutely correct in that. I got a question

675
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 6: in a couple of months ago in.

676
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 4: A chat, Hey, you or see Dodgers outfield one day,

677
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 4: being hope to Paula and Quintaro and the answer is nope,

678
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 4: Like they're going to trade somebody here for something, and

679
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: they will, or they will sign somebody to fit.

680
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 6: In the outfield long term.

681
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 4: They have the might to do that and they probably will,

682
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 4: Like we do those twenty twenty nine lineups, and they're

683
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 4: mostly for fun because you can't just add ex free

684
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 4: agent to a lineup, you know, preemptively. But that's a

685
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: long way of saying I think Quintaro is the most

686
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 4: well rounded of the group, and it would not be surprised,

687
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: it would not surprise me if he was in their

688
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: lineup at some point in the twenty twenty seven here's

689
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 4: hoping we have a twenty twenty seven season.

690
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 6: But yes, that's the timeline.

691
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: That's Verge.

692
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the whole other show. Josh Norris, Senior editor

Speaker 6: Thank you all right, Josh Norris.

699
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 3: We appreciate it as always, Clint. Let's get to last licks.

700
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: We have a pup for you.

701
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: Let's do it.

702
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 3: All right, kids. This is Lula Bean. She is a sweet,

703
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 3: sweet girl. She was rescued from the downy shelter, of course,

704
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 3: at the eleventh hour. You've heard me say that a

705
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: million times. She is so sweet. She is a border

706
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: Collie Shepherd mix. She is a tripod. So she apparently

707
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: had a very misaligned break that healed very improperly, and

708
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 3: she was at risk of rebreaking it. So we've consulted

709
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 3: two different veterinarian professionals and they both agreed that amputation

710
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 3: was the best way to give her the best quality

711
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 3: of life. And she has not missed a beat. She's

712
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: still running all over the place. She can still go

713
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 3: up and downstairs no problem. She still has her con

714
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 3: on because we just got her spade. She also has

715
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: had dental work done, so she is ready. Once she's

716
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 3: fully healed from that spaye that just occurred yesterday, she

717
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: is ready to go home. She's good. She's just a

718
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: good girl. So if you're interested in learning more about

719
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 3: Lulu Bean, she's currently being fostered in Crestline, California, so

720
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 3: she's available in southern California. We could also use some donations.

721
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: Donations have been really down, so if you want to

722
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: help us out, even a dollar helps. Gidrey's guardian dot Org.

723
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 3: All right, Clint pisis, before we talk about what's coming

724
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: up on your show, do you have a baseball thought

725
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: for the road? So?

726
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw this and I'm trying to get it

727
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 2: loaded up. How about first let's do this. I need

728
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 2: a second. I want you to take a moment to

729
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: wish Rick Monday.

730
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: A happy birthday. Yes, because I think this is a

731
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: milestone b day.

732
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: It is a massive milestone birthday. So happy eightieth birthday

733
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 3: to Rick Monday. My goodness, he's one of the one

734
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 3: of the most distinguished gentlemen I've ever had the privilege

735
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: of learning from working with. I had no idea, truly,

736
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: I had app no idea that Rick Monday was eighty like.

737
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 3: He doesn't act eighty, he doesn't seem eighty. I don't

738
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: know what you're supposed to act like at eighty, but

739
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 3: Rick Monday doesn't do it. Still doing a bang up

740
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: job with Steven Nelson and Tim Neverett in the Dodgers

741
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 3: radio booth on A five seventy has been such a

742
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 3: pillar of this Dodgers broadcast team and obviously was a

743
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: former Dodger. He's just a great man. He's just a

744
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 3: plethora of knowledge. So happy birthday, Happy eightieth birthday to

745
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 3: Rick Monday. I hope you're having a great time on

746
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 3: your big birthday.

747
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: Mo's an absolute jem. He's an absolute yem.

748
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: But to the baseball thought for the road, we were

749
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 2: talking about this a little bit earlier. So there are

750
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: a few baseballs from the World Series are sorry, from

751
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 2: this Dodgers postseason run that are being auctioned off right now.

752
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 2: So the question I ask you is how much would

753
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: you pay for Miguel Rojas's Game seven tying homer or

754
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: Will smith go ahead game winning homer in that World Series?

755
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 2: I'm curious is what kind of money you would pay

756
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 2: because the type of money that's up here right now

757
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: is insane.

758
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 3: That that is just stupidity. But that's the thing. I mean,

759
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: people spend money on interesting things Like me as a

760
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 3: as a journalist and as a reporter, I wouldn't I

761
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 3: wouldn't pay anything just because I don't know I'm around

762
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 3: it all the time. But if you're a massive fan

763
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: and this is what gives you joy, who can put

764
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: a price tag? I mean, I guess you can price

765
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 3: tag right now is two hundred thousand dollars? Well, I

766
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 3: just I don't know. I mean that to me is absurd.

767
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 3: But then think about like you spend a lot of

768
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 3: money on camping stuff, right, I spend a lot of

769
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 3: money on like wine and eating out and travel, like

770
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 3: what I think is worth the money. Like I won't

771
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: spend six dollars on a T shirt because I think

772
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 3: it's too expensive, but I'll drop a lot of money

773
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: on a bottle of wine. It's just like whatever you're into.

774
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 3: So I don't know how much would you use. I mean,

775
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 3: this is just like fu money. This type of money

776
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 3: is insane.

807
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: on because I don't know what we're talking about tonight.

808
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 2: Probably more rumor stuff if we are doing content tonight.

809
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: But last night we did welcome Ryan Ward, Dodgers prospect.

810
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 2: I would argue to call him the top slugging prospect,

811
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: and he is the outfielder closest to helping this organization,

812
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 2: should be making his MLB debut in twenty twenty six.

813
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: So we asked him a lot about him. We got

814
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: to know about him.

815
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 2: Hey, does he like pancakes or waffles? Does he put

816
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 2: his toilet paper over or under?

817
00:38:59,520 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 6: Harvey?

818
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 3: If it's not over, I don't want him on my team.

819
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.

820
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: I he is a spoiler, he isn't over. What I

821
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 2: did learn, though, is that my co host Jeff Snyder

822
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 2: is wrong and does the over I mean they are

823
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 2: He's never.

824
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: Coming on this show. Jeff is never coming on this show. Like,

825
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 3: if you're an under person, don't talk to me.

00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,759

828
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: big strides in cutting down his strikeout right, and that

829
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 2: you know how did he get to that point, you know,

830
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: the the swing changes that turned him into a thirty

831
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 2: six homer dude at Triple A because he said, you know,

832
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 2: playing in high school and all that, playing in college,

833
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,120
