1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: There's guys that have been incredibly successful in their career, 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: as any of them on a holiday tracts. The number 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: one goal that when people step in here is to 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: win a world series. 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: All right, guys, welcome back. Frederick Freeman is joining, and honestly, honestly, 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 2: it was because AJ wore him down to the point 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: where he had no excuse but to come up here. 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: These two were teammates ten years ago. Now, Freddie obviously 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 2: MVP first baseman for the club. This is an exciting camp. 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: AJ was starstruck when he walked into your clubhouse today. 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: There's some star power in there. But that's something about 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: this club, Freddy, and you can speak to it obviously 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: more than I that you really believe in one another 14 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 2: and it's a good group of twenty six guys that 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: has one goal in mind. 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very true. I mean it starts. It starts 17 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 3: with you know, you got Kershaw in the clubhouse every day. 18 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 3: And kind of the environment that we create is being 19 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 3: able to welcome new paces in because we've had a 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: lot of new faces, a lot of turnover the last 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: few years when we lost JT and Cody. Familiar places 22 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 3: you try and create the environment as fast as you can. 23 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 3: That makes it a successful and easy environment to come into. 24 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: I think we've done a good job of that. We 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: care about another one in each other. If we don't get 26 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: the job done, we just keep rooting for the next guy. 27 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: It's always the next man up in mentality. And we've 28 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: created a really good thing around here. 29 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 4: By the way, no offense to you and Mooki. I 30 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 4: got a hug from you and Mookie, but I got 31 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 4: to shake show Hay in Rokie's hands, So like you 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 4: guys are kind of news. Okay, we've played together, Mooki 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 4: and I was. I was on the field when Mooki 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 4: made his debut. We were teammates back when he was 35 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 4: first came up, but he was the second baseman. That 36 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 4: was when you were twenty fourteen. 37 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, a job. I'm so old now. I'm proud of 38 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 5: him though. 39 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 4: I mean, I listen, we had we've had Chipper on, yeah, 40 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 4: and Chipper talked about Freddy and I've talked about Freddy. 41 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 4: And I remember, I mean twenty fifteen when you were 42 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 4: just a young little punk and me and Johnny and 43 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 4: Frenchy and Kelly were trying to, you know, mold you 44 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: the right way after Chipper ruined you, but you know 45 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: you turned out. 46 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 5: To be okay, So I he's just super proud. 47 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 4: I mean listen as a as a former player and 48 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 4: someone that obviously played with you, to see where you've 49 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 4: come and what the star you become in a better 50 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 4: person than a star. I mean, it means a lot 51 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 4: just to see, like, you know, little snippets of what 52 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: you become. 53 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 5: But now you're here with the Dodgers, yep, and you're superstar. 54 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 3: I appreciate that. Thank you those kind words. That's what 55 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: I think when you were as players, when you finish playing, 56 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,359 Speaker 3: it's always that one question you always get, oh how 57 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: was he? You know, how was he as a teammate, 58 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 3: And that's kind of what you hope everyone says, is 59 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 3: like he was a good teammate, good guy, because everyone's 60 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: going to remember it, not really talk about the hitting. 61 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's a great player, but it's always about 62 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: how was he? And that's where you like, as I've 63 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: gotten older, you start to just try and affect people 64 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: in different ways, and if it's on the field or 65 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: in life of how you go about your business each 66 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 3: and every day and you learn everything you're learning still 67 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: every day, and you know when you have veteran guys 68 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: like I had coming up, and it just shapes you 69 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: in a certain way, and you want to you want 70 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: to take little things from each player that you play 71 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: with and kind of take it, put it into your 72 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: own thing, and try and be a good person every day. 73 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: We had a conversation earlier Freddie with Brandon Domes talking 74 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: about how it is legitimately twenty six unbelievable players, some 75 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: massive superstars, MVPs, Hall of Famers, future Hall of Famers. 76 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: I really truly believe that, But sometimes there's a lot 77 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: of ego in that and it doesn't seem like that. 78 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: And again, I know I'm a home or get over it, 79 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: but you know, it doesn't seem like that with this group. 80 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: Have you found that? That's been an interesting thing to 81 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: navigate in that clubhouse, just trying to you know, everybody 82 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: living up to the potential. But also you guys were 83 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: the best at every level where you played, and now 84 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: you're all the best. 85 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's it's everyone knows everyone's a good 86 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: baseball player in this clubhouse. So it's not like you 87 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 3: have to carry anything. You know, everyone's got their little 88 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 3: thing in the puzzle piece. And I think that's what's 89 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: so good about this team is you have so many 90 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: great players coming in and that great player that comes 91 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 3: in doesn't feel like they have to do everything on 92 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: that team. And then you have a lot of older 93 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: guys that are that have been around a long time 94 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: that that's what's so good. It's great players that have 95 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: been in the game a long time that all they 96 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: care about is winning. And when you care about winning, 97 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: that's that's when you create the environment of caring about 98 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: each other because you have to. It's not just the 99 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: twenty six guys on this team. You're gonna use the 100 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: forty man roster. There's gonna be guys that you're we're 101 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: not right now that're gonna influence. You had Jack Flaherty 102 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: come over in trades last year. There's so many guys 103 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: that are gonna knock down big innings, pitching, take a 104 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 3: huge at bats, and it's not just us. And that's 105 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: why you have such a great organization because they go 106 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: out and create the depth that we have and we 107 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: just try and create the environment where the great players 108 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: come in and don't feel like they have to carry 109 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: the whole team all the time. Even though they can at. 110 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: Anything, you can carry a team. I've seen you do 111 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 4: it before. I want to know this because I've played 112 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: with you with the Braves. I thought you were going 113 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 4: to be Chipper Jones. It'd be a brave for life. 114 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 4: And I know you went through an emotional thing. Looking 115 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 4: back on her, you're like, this is pretty cool. I mean, 116 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 4: you're you're a California I know you claim Canada, but 117 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 4: you're a California guy.

They have 192 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: treated me like one of their own. And I've kind 193 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: of looked at it now that it's almost like a 194 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: thank you, because it was hard to come to the 195 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: field that when Max was still going through it. Right 196 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: after the hospital. It was tough, you know, leaving my 197 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: family every single day, and then they would I would 198 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: get to the field, and they just made me feel 199 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: okay and good and that I was supposed to be 200 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 3: at work, you know, And I don't. I feel like 201 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 3: I've been a Dodger for a little bit. I mean, 202 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 3: we it's my fourth season already. 203 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 5: It's crazy. 204 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 3: It feels yeah, it's going fast. I know it's going fast, 205 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: but I obviously now I think when people kind of 206 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: think about my career, it's the walk off Grand Slam now, 207 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 3: and I'm going to be in a Dodger uniform when 208 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: in a lot of people's eyes. But you know, I 209 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: don't know. I'm proud of the fact that what I 210 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: did with the Braves for twelve years and now I'm 211 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: trying to do the same thing here with the Dodgers 212 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 3: and win as many championships as I can. 213 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: But you are, and Mookie said, and moshow Hey probably 214 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: thinks it's easy. You just come to l a right, 215 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: But I mean Mookie is like, we need you got 216 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 2: nine more years of dominance and then when Movie's contract 217 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: is up. But I mean, this is the team to 218 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: do it right. How does a World Series Championship team 219 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: get better? 220 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: I think what Andrew and Brandon and our ownership kind 221 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: of did you could usually go out and spend you 222 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: get show Hey Yoshi, trade for Tyler Glass and Al 223 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: and tay Oscar and do all these things and win 224 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: a championship and be okay with that. And they went 225 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 3: out and got Blake Snell. It just kept going, Michael, 226 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: come forward, you get Rokie, you just re signed Blake, 227 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: trying to get Key k back. It just it's a 228 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 3: It's an organization that's trying to be the best at everything, 229 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: and I'm just thankful to be a part of it 230 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: and that I was one of the pieces that they 231 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 3: believed in. And that's how you do it. It's this 232 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 3: game is so unpredictable. Well, even if we can have 233 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: this team and you don't know what's gonna happen this year, 234 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: I'm obviously got a really good chance with the guys 235 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: we have, but it's still once you hit October, you 236 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: don't know what's going to happen. So ELF is a 237 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: huge one. But we weren't healthy last year like we had. 238 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: If you work no no, when you were playing on 239 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: one ankle, Yeah, I had a lot going on, But 240 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: it's you just try and do the best you can 241 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: and once the season starts, you just try and be healthy. 242 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: You're gonna hit speed bumps along the way. You just 243 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 3: try and get over them and try and make it 244 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 3: to the end and be healthy. 245 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: We had a conversation with Max months earlier today Freddy 246 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: in the clubhouse, and he was talking about how like 247 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: going through that parade and you guys were all on 248 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: like one leg and you know, trying to get through 249 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: it and grinding, and most of. 250 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 5: Them were intoxicated.

And then 256 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: you go through the inebriated postseason run of the you know, 257 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 2: the all the things. 258 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 3: All right, think about it, because everyone is grinding and 259 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: trying to get on the field. And that's also what's 260 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 3: so great about Doc and like the manager, Like that's 261 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: the true look of a great manager is when your 262 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: players are trying to do everything they can to get 263 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: onto the field for you and the organization and Doc's 264 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 3: created a wonderful thing here and we were all kind 265 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: of just band aiding ourselves together to try and get 266 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,599 Speaker 3: on the field, and we were able to do it. 267 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: And that's what's so special when you win in those 268 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 3: kind of scenarios, when everyone is grinding to make it 269 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 3: through and you have to ultimately see the reward of 270 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: the grind and you you host hoist that trophy up. 271 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: There's nothing better. 272 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 5: Were you involved in the Suzaki meetings and stuff? 273 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 6: It was? 274 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: Were you a big pitch man?

I mean, it still 300 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 3: was kind of the destination when I came over, but 301 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: then you start getting show hey and guys like that, 302 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: and and then what they do to our clubhouse.

I told a lot of I'm like, I 366 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: think I could catch a game or two. I'd catch 367 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 4: a heck out of some bullpens. 368 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 5: I want to ring. 369 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: It's got to be the best feeling as a GM 370 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 4: to know that people want to come play for your organization. 371 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 4: Right to me, that's the biggest thing is it's a 372 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: Alta says it all the time. It's a destination LA 373 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: now is a destination place that guys want to go 374 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 4: to try to win a ring and play with. 375 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 5: The best of the best. 376 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's been the goal of ours for 377 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: you know, the leading up to these past few years. 378 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: But it's been, you know, something we've been striving for 379 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: for a while. And obviously that that comes with the 380 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: coaching staff and the players that we've had, building a culture, 381 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: you know, Dave driving that train, and then an incredible 382 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: amount of support from ownership. So none of those things 383 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: can happen without our owners you know, really putting winning 384 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: at the forefront of everything you do. 385 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 7: I know, it's a full group effort when you go 386 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 7: after guys like Rokie, when you court a guy like show, Hey, 387 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 7: what's your role in it? Because certain guys have to 388 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 7: step up and the click the button for the power point. 389 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 7: Other guys have to refresh the croissants at the table. 390 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 5: What is your role in it? 391 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 7: And have you guys gotten better at that role the 392 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 7: more you meet with every one of these superstars. 393 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of it is 394 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: to so many people are involved in these these recruiting 395 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: processes and trying to figure out where you can add 396 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: value if there's a nugget that makes sense for you 397 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: to drop based on personal experience or relationships that you had. 398 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: So you know, as you're going through this, you certainly 399 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: learn and get better, or that's the goal at least, 400 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: and making sure that as you're figuring out what we 401 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: want to hit on, what we want to make important, 402 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: everybody kind of has their opportunity to touch on certain 403 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: aspects of the organization and what's what resources we offer 404 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: and you know, the experience that they would have, So 405 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: it's kind of learning as you go. But understanding and 406 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: rehearsing on the front end of who's going to take 407 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: what when it comes to trying to relay everything that 408 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: we can about the organization. 409 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: Brannie, when you talk about the Dodgers, you always talk 410 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 2: about culture, and I remember having many conversations with Andrew Friedman, 411 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: Dave Robert Stankaston about the culture and the character type 412 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 2: of guy that you want to bring in. And to 413 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: AJ's point, when you walk in and you're starstruck and 414 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: he's a Big League or World Series champion, he's walking, 415 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: he's like, oh my gosh, look at who's around in 416 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 2: this clubhouse? Are there challenges with managing superstar personalities? You 417 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: talk to Tony LaRussa, you talked to Bruce Boscheet, and 418 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 2: sometimes managing superstars is harder than managing, you know, the 419 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: also ran guys. What challenges come with that? 420 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think obviously there's guys that have been incredibly 421 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: successful in their careers or many of them on Hall 422 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: of Fame tracks. You know, the number one goal that 423 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: when people step in here is to win a World series, 424 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: and guys shown it time and time again. Of Mookie 425 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: going a short last year when we need it needed it, 426 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: Freddy in the postseason being like, hey, I'm not as 427 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: good as I can be. 428 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 8: You should play somebody else first. 429 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 5: Left. 430 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 8: Like those types of things, you know, are what makes 431 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 8: this group so special. 432 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: And Dave does an amazing job of being able to 433 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: handle the different personalities and communicating with them on a 434 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 1: daily basis, which is really important because as you go 435 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: through a season, you know, players are making assumptions or 436 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not. 437 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 8: Really sure about this. The lack of clarity can't cause issues. 438 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: I think, you know, as a staff and Dave and 439 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: coaches in the front office, we're making sure we're staying 440 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: ahead of any of that. But the biggest thing is, 441 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: like we've talked about the guys that are coming in, 442 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: we know they want to win. When that is your 443 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: goal and you are trying to win as many championships 444 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: as possible, everything else kind of falls into place because 445 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: everybody's pulling for that ultimate thing. 446 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 4: I have to ask this because I saw show Hey 447 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 4: in there, and I know he's coming back from rehab. 448 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: I want to know how is this going to play 449 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: out because he can't go on to rehab assignment. Yeah, 450 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 4: it's like you can say, hey, show Hey, we need 451 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 4: you to go to double A. We need you to 452 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 4: go to Rancho Kucamonga and throw four innings today and 453 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: then be back in d H in the big league game. 454 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: So how's that going to work as a picture rehab 455 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: because you're either gonna have to have someone piggyback them. 456 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 4: But how do you build a guy up they can't 457 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 4: go in rehab. 458 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 8: Yeah, we've talked about it a lot, and obviously it's unique. 459 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: He's one of one at this point, you know, as 460 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: he's getting in and making sure he's building a good foundation, 461 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: and you know, because we obviously can't lose one of 462 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: the best hitters in the game. We'll set something up 463 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: where we can consistently get work in it. Call it 464 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: once a week and whatever day we decide that is, 465 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: and then in early work try to work through some 466 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: type of like live BP scenario. 467 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 4: And that's not an ideal secause you don't want him 468 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: facing your big league guys because something God forbid, something 469 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 4: happens right. 470 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Certainly on the table, and we've done that in the 471 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: past for guys. Whether our hitters need work, they haven't 472 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: seen a lefty for a while. We'll get somebody in 473 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: and try to get creative with that to make sure 474 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: everybody's getting what they need. 475 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 8: So I think that'll be a little bit of a like, hey, 476 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 8: let's see how this goes. What do you need? 477 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: And then you know, as he's. 478 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: Ramping up and building up volume from the live VP standpoint, 479 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: one of the major benefits is like if he comes 480 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: back and throws two innings, like, that's okay. 481 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 8: We don't have to make a roster move to do that. 482 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: It is only additive at that point, which is obviously 483 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: incredibly helpful. So we'll when we get to that point, 484 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, as we're approaching it, we'll map it out 485 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: and figure out because we may be on the road 486 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: which could complicate things, but making sure we have some 487 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: type of consistent work. And then when we hit a 488 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: threshold of volume, okay, is he ready to plug into 489 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: a game? 490 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 8: What does that look like? 491 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: It's just easier than if you had to say, hey, 492 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: now we're plugging this starter back into the rotation. 493 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 8: We have to make a a counter move. We don't 494 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 8: have to do that, So it's only additive, which is 495 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 8: incredibly valuable. 496 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: I mean, we could have a ten hour show on show.

What have you noticed in 508 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: the terms of the development of those two guys. 509 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: Wow, watching Yama, you know obviously from last year to 510 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: this year, just the confidence and the just more of like, hey, 511 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: this is a normal day. You know, he kind of 512 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: came into his own. Really he pitched great for us 513 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: and then really showed well in the playoffs. But you 514 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: could see when he came into CBR this year for 515 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: spring training, He's like, Okay, this is now, this is normal. 516 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 8: I don't have all of these these new scenarios coming up. 517 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: Plus trying to figure out how to navigate a major 518 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: league season, so his level of confidence is incredibly high. 519 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 5: Right now. 520 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: He's looked so good in bo depends and gains his stuff. 521 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: The execution is what really separates Yamamoto from a lot 522 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: of guys have great stuff, but his execution is is 523 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: as good as I've ever seen. So he's you know, 524 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: coming into his own and understanding how to navigate the 525 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 1: big leagues. And then Roki has come in and been 526 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: incredibly open and worked with our group and you know, 527 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: some different delivery drills and things that work in the 528 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: weight room for prep work to make sure we're patterning 529 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: movements that he wants down the mound beforehand. 530 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 8: So he's been great. 531 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: He's dope right in with our group, and you know, 532 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: the first outing was obviously incredibly impressive, and we're looking 533 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 1: forward to him continuing to grow. I think what's so 534 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: impressive about him is as good as he's been, there's 535 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 1: like so much room sure up to even get better, 536 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: which is kind of scary. 537 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: By the way, yamamotos smaller than I thought he wasn't. 538 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 4: Roki's bigger than I thought he was when I saw him. Yeah, 539 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 4: but I have to ask, is it breaking news?

Are going to like the Cubs, 571 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 7: one and two will probably start their first two opening 572 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 7: day games state side. 573 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the benefit of our rotation is that 574 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: we have so many talented guys. It's tough to distinguish 575 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: one through five or six or seven, however you want. 576 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 5: To do it so for eight or nine, or ten 577 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 5: or eleven. 578 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of it is okay, what 579 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: makes sense for the Dodgers, what makes sense in the 580 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things for you know, baseball and how 581 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: it all works, and you know, this is. 582 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 8: If it continues to play out and things go that way, 583 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 8: like we're. 584 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: In a good spot where those guys could throw those games, 585 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: And I think it's something cool for the game of baseball, 586 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: and also like for us as an organization, we feel 587 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: really good about being able to do that as well. 588 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 2: Let's expand on that a little bit though, because you 589 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: have such quality, talented arms, and we're talking about though, 590 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: making sure everybody gets their innings right and building guys 591 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: up to where they need to be. Obviously, you know 592 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: injuries are a part of the game, but how do 593 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: you look at it big picture wise to make sure 594 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 2: that it makes sense with the talent that you have. 595 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a constant balance. And 596 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: having done this last year, having gone to South Korea, 597 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: we have a better understanding of how to navigate the 598 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: exhibition games, those two games and how we come out 599 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: of it. On the back side, our schedule when we 600 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: get back home is helpful where we go three day off, 601 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: three day off, so it allows us to kind of 602 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 1: reset and make sure guys are continuing to build up 603 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: to where we need it to be. So so much 604 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: of this is making sure that guys are in a 605 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: position for success short term, long term, and that with 606 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: a unique build up of spring training, that our starters 607 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: are still going to get to that pitch threshold to 608 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: be able to take down real innings come a domestic 609 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: opening day. 610 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 5: You guys come back here or you go to LA. 611 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 8: Back to LA. We have the Freeway Series, two real 612 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 8: games and then. 613 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 5: Back to That's so weird. It's so weird to me. 614 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 4: I want to know about your career, your career path, 615 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 4: because you were a middle reliever. 616 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 5: Middle relievers need love to they do, but not Breslo 617 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 5: right was a middle reliever. He's now the GM of 618 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 5: the Red Sox. You're here GM of the Dodgers. What 619 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 5: is that path like? 620 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 4: Because you just don't see you know, you've seen position 621 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 4: players do it. You've seen some pitchers do it, but 622 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 4: it's usually the position players that can work their way up. 623 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 4: So how did you, as a middle reliever get to 624 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 4: be in charge of. 625 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: The best team in the world. 626 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 5: That's what I was as. 627 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what the team that everybody wants to be 628 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 4: a part of and everyone wants to see.

How close are we? 656 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 7: Because we looked at the Dodgers as like the most innovative, 657 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 7: the most ability to spend money in certain areas, How 658 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 7: close to being able to start to curtail some of 659 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 7: these pitching injuries because you want the most out of 660 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 7: your pitchers.

Obviously we've been doing it for a while. 663 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 7: But how close are we or does it not really 664 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 7: matter We're just going to get ten starters and here 665 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 7: we go. 666 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 8: No, it always matters. 667 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we've spent a lot of time and this 668 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: is not like a oh, we just started thinking about it. 669 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: We've put things in place along, you know, along the 670 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: past few years that we felt like we're helpful to, 671 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, mitigating injuries, and as things have played out, 672 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: we haven't done a great job of that. 673 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 8: It's hard to decipher exactly why that is. 674 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 5: But so this. 675 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: Offseason kind of re examining what we were doing, what 676 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: we were solving for, and trying to rethink how to 677 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: prepare our younger guys for when they get to the 678 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: big leagues. And you know, we've had multiple group meetings, 679 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of input from a lot of different people. 680 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: So this is you know, we've we've implemented a few 681 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: things in the minor leagues. This here that we hope 682 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: will start to help that, and then as those things 683 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: play out, continue those conversations, uh, and look to improve 684 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: upon that again throughout the or throughout the season, come 685 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: the off season, and making sure that we're not you know, 686 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: we're not happy. Even if this helps with injuries, continue 687 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: to make sure that we're doing everything we can because 688 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: performance is great, health is obviously paramount, and you want 689 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: those to to merge. So we'll continue to learn. We're 690 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: far from perfect on it, and the industry is obviously 691 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: not great with it either, So you know, it's something 692 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: we'll we'll keep striving for and look to get better. 693 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: You know, each and every year. 694 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: The Dodgers obviously have a quality front office that you're 695 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: a part of, but you have a pretty successful and 696 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: special guy in the in the dugout and in the 697 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 2: clubhouse with Dave Roberts.
