1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: I've been kind of in on Blake Snell, and I

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: think it's the perfect time for him to go home

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: join join his his father. Austin Barnes, Welcome to another

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: edition of Dodgers Territory. I am in the pilot's seat

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: today because Alana is out. But we got a hell

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: of a pinch hitter. We got my man, Scott Gearman.

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Of course, you know him from Dodger Blue. You see

8
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: him on Dodger Heads all the dang time. Scotti, how

9
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: you doing on this fine Thursday, one week till Thanksgiving?

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 2: My friend doing real well, it's that time of year.

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: We they a lot of people call it the slow season,

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: but for us, it never stops. Rumors are swirling, there's

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: a lot going on. We're really transitioning into this period

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: here where speculation. How much can we pull from that

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 3: and really projecting? You know, how do we put it

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: all together?

17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Buddy? Yeah, well we put a lot together. It's gonna

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,000

Speaker 1: keep going, keep growing. But for now, let's get into

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: the big ticket, Scottie, we got ourselves a Rokie Sasaki

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: sweepstakes update. Rob Manfred, commissioner of Major League Baseball, says

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: yesterday that he will not be posted in this international

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: free agency window, which changes the game a little bit

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. Of course, we see Jorge Castillo here.

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: I believe he's New York Times. I forgot where he's

31
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: at now, former Dodgers beat writer. But yeah, he's not

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: expected to sign until after January fifteenth. How do you

33
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: think this affects the team? Affects the thinking? I mean,

34
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: there's more to the Sasaki saga, but just off the bat,

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: how do you think this affects the thinking? And you

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: know where the offseason progresses for the Dodgers here and

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: leading up to the Winter meetings.

38
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: So I think a move like this was you know,

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: a lot of the chatter surrounding this was that Sasaki

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: being posted prior to this, you know, in this twenty

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: twenty four deadline didn't make sense from a financial standpoint.

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: But I would say the way that it alters it

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers, I don't think much. Now, it just

44
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 3: gives them the ability to offer him more money and

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: continue to you know, be in that playing field with

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: the rest of the teams around Major League Baseball. Now

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: they just have a deeper pool to get into.

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: They'll be on the.

49
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: Lower end, of course of that pool, but they'll be

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: able to offer them a contract.

51
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: Now that's smack dab where.

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: I feel like it pays Sasaki adequately but keeps them

53
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: right in the hunt. It takes away the speculation of

54
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: kind of anything else of offering him.

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just took the lowest of it.

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: But I think it just allows the Dodgers to offer him,

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: you know, a substantial contract with in terms of what

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: the rules for this post like the posting limits in

59
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: this period. But it just it keeps the Dodgers right

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 3: where I think they need to be.

61
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're in a good spot if anything.

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I know. Ken Rosenthal today Fair Territory was saying, maybe

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: this helps Dodgers a little bit because there have been

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: some rumors. One correction, I said New York Times Jorge

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: is ESPN. So that's my bet on that. But uh,

66
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: the other side of it. There was a report that

67
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: dropped today Evan Relik of The The Athletic pointing out

68
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: that there are some teams we know, there are a

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: lot of teams, a lot of us, a lot of

70
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: everybody insiders believing, hey, the Dodgers probably are the front

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: runners to land Roki Sasaki. Uh this winter. The thinking is,

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: maybe some people might be thinking there's kind of a

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: handshake agreement already in place, something, as Joel Wolf, agent

74
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: the Agent Joe Wolf said for Washerman, you know, there's

75
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing the faery us in place was his averbiage

76
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: of it. But there's a few wrinkles of this whole thing.

77
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Jim Boden also joined uh fair tear or foul territory

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: yesterday saying that maybe you know, Sasaki to the Dodgers

79
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: isn't as much of a done deal as some people think.

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: And then there's the other side of it. There's like

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: this endorsement factor. It's a weird time to be talking

82
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: to be talking about let's throw this up on the screen,

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: to be talking about Roki Sasaki and these rumors, because yeah,

84
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: again it's it's very very much all over the place.

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: Some people believe. Yeah, it's Dodgers all the way, and

86
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: then other people very much not. I like what you

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: said before we were talking pre production, before the show.

88
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: Nobody really knows what's going on right now. Nobody knows

89
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: the full thinking of Roki Sasaki. But what's kind of

90
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: what you're feeling in your bones about where things are

91
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: at with Sasaki and the Dodgers and kind of all

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine other teams.

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know the report from Bone like, you know,

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: not saying it's a done deal for sure, and that

95
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: there's other teams aside from the Dodgers that have a

96
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 3: striking chance at landing Sasaki. I think everybody has a chance.

97
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: But I think that with the pulse from the rest

98
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: of the gms around Major League based ball, all kind

99
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: of having this same theme in the presence that it's

100
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: a Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Dodgers. You hear that

101
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: a lot. It's not a theme that it probably just

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: happens to happen. It's probably just because it's understanding the

103
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 3: presence that Friedman, Andrew Friedman and his staff, you know,

104
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: his international scouting staff. These guys they've had this, you know, group,

105
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 3: they've been working on landing Sasaki for some time now,

106
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: So I think that this is just the Dodgers' presence.

107
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, Dallas Kikle coming out and

108
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: saying that he believes that it's a done deal for

109
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: whatever that means, right, It adds to the chatter, right,

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 3: But I think that, you know, if Bowden wants to

111
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: say something about money now, like I said earlier, Sasaki

112
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: going in this next posting period opens the Dodgers up

113
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: to out offering him a contract that's competitive with the rest.

114
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: The difference is that teams at the high end of

115
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: that in this twenty twenty five period, we're sitting around

116
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: seven million, right, seven and a half million. Now the

117
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: Dodgers can offer a contract, they'll be at the lower end,

118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: so around five point one the difference in the money

119
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: they could have offered him in the twenty twenty four period.

120
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: Currently it's it's the same exact difference now Now every

121
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: single team has the opportunity to offer them a contract.

122
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: So anybody's questions. It was this handshaken thing for the

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: Dodgers prior, it's washed away like it's a good thing

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 3: that Sasaki let this happen. You know they're pushing this

125
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: towards the twenty twenty five period because it elite like

126
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: eliminates those question marks. Yeah, and it's just now, maybe

127
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: he had the Dodgers all long, and if it doesn't happen,

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: then I mean, not that people were wrong, it's that

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: other teams just had a different pitch, maybe a little

130
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: bit more money. But it's the question of can the

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 3: Dodgers just offer way too much in terms of guarantees,

132
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: in terms of you know, a whatever structure they have.

133
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: It's just now it's an even playing field from a

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: sense of money and everything else.

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: Now where we know, I mean, we've heard the rumors

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: that we heard kind of from reportedly rumored from Sasaki's camp.

137
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: What he's looking for, He's looking to win, He's looking

138
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: for top notch organization, top notch player development. Now that

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: is something the Dodgers can offer better than just about

140
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: any organization out there. And if he's going to sign somewhere,

141
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: it's probably not going to be just because of the money.

142
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: It's not just gonna be because of the endorsements or

143
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: because Otani and Yamamoto are there or are not. It's

144
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna be be because Dodgers have won the best chance

145
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: of running it back and winning in twenty twenty five.

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: Maybe they do. With the odds most recent odds coming

147
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: out say they do. Dodgers fans might feel a little

148
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: bit different looking at the state of the roster. We

149
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: will talk roster in a little bit. But they are good.

150
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: They are great at developing pitchers, and that's what Roki

151
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Sasaki wants to do. He wants to be here. Money

152
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: is not important to him. If money was important, he

153
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: would wait a couple more years to be posted and

154
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: then he get the bag, probably more, maybe more than

155
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: what we saw Yoshinobu Yamamoto get last winter. But let's

156
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: let's let's take a step back for a second. Let's

157
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: listen to Jim Boden on with the Boys at Foul yesterday,

158
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: with this whole eighty five percent chance he signs elsewhere.

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: We'll listen to that and we'll kind of dissect it

160
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: from there. He's not one of.

161
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 4: Those players that's going to go where Wasserman and Joe Wolf,

162
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: his agent, are gonna send him. He's going to make

163
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: his own call. But the sense I get from everyone

164
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: is that the narrative of him going to the Dodgers.

165
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 4: It's way more likely he signs elsewhere than he signs there.

166
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying at the end of the day,

167
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: you know, perhaps he changes his mind, perhaps Otani and

168
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: Yamamoto can convince him. But if based on what I'm hearing,

169
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: I would say eighty five percent chance he does not

170
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: sign with the Dodgers.

171
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: So a couple of things. A couple of things. I mean,

172
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: we almost immediately say one thing and then kind of

173
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: step it back, which, hey, listen, I'm all about that.

174
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: I do that all the time on my show. But

175
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: he's like eighty five percent. But also, I'm not going

176
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: to be surprised if he signs with the Dodgers. I

177
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's going to be surprised. I at this

178
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: point would be surprised if he signs elsewhere. I don't

179
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: think there's a deal in place. I think he Euroki Joel. Well,

180
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: if they're gonna do their due diligence, they're gonna talk

181
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: to a lot of organizations that are worth talking to. Sorry,

182
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies, you're probably not in the running, but they're

183
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: gonna do their homework. They're gonna talk to organizations and

184
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be the Dodgers at the end of

185
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the day. What are your thoughts about Jim Boden there,

186
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the Dodgers.

187
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: Check all the boxes, They check every single box.

188
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: Jim Boden taking you know, saying eighty five percent, it's

189
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: basically saying I'm gonna do that, you know, take the field.

190
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: That's just the dot. He's not picking the Dodgers. There's

191
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: a lot of momentum that way. Opening it up to

192
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: the money. If the endorsements thing, if Sasaki is that marketable,

193
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: he'll find those endorsements kind of wherever he goes. But

194
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: if the other boxes that he's looking to check, our

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: sustainability an incredible structure. O Tani's coming back from not

196
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: his second Tommy John. They're not calling it a Tommy John,

197
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 3: but from a second elbow procedure.

198
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: Right.

199
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: Uh, there is a plan in place for a lot

200
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 3: of these guys. The Dodgers have a six man rotation,

201
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: six man rotational air quotes then going into twenty twenty five,

202
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: so it already has a built in for him. They're

203
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: not going to ask him to do much of anything

204
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: else he hasn't already been doing in the MPB and

205
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 3: from what I know and what we've seen, is that

206
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are going to be incredibly careful with these pitchers.

207
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: It's just what they're going to do.

208
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: If they have a need and they need to supplement something,

209
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 3: they're going to go out and they're going to make

210
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 3: it happen. So they're on The Dodgers are on the

211
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: hunt to supplement this starting rotation, and what better spot

212
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: to get Sasaki, someone who needs to get his feet

213
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 3: wet in major League Baseball with already a ton of

214
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: veteran guys on the roster currently, you have Yomoto, you

215
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 3: have Otani, he'll come back midyear, but there is just

216
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: a mentorship that can come from that. And I know

217
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 3: you Darvish with the Padres, there's a lot of pull there,

218
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: different stuff. So what I think in the boxes that

219
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: are going to be checked with the Dodgers always, that's

220
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: just the system they've set up. They are now at

221
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: destination for free agents. You can get your money. You

222
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 3: can absolutely get your money if you're what fits the bill,

223
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: and you're going to have a chance to be able

224
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: to win year in and year out, playing in a

225
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 3: structure with an environment that players want to be in.

226
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: So I think that from what we heard from you know,

227
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: from Boden, eighty five percent take in the field, you

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 3: can have that. Well, I'm going to say all the

229
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: boxes are getting checked with the Dodgers. But that's that's

230
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: kind of where I stand with the climb.

231
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you on that. I mean, either way,

232
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Rookie is not a factor for the next couple of months,

233
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: so we can kind of move on. I'm gonna pause

234
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: for a second to say one guy has subscribed to

235
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: the channel. If you haven't subscribed already, get the video

236
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: thumbs up if you want Rookie Sasaki to be a Dodger.

237
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: Sometime in the middle of January, we got a couple

238
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: of super chats. By the way, our friend Bob Nightingale,

239
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: not the real Bob Nightingale in the chat says fort

240
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: nine nine super chat think very much, says Boden. Sorry Bowman, Well,

241
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's Boden is a nube. Per sources, He's

242
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: not a nube. He is a former general manager. He

243
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: does talk to people. He's not just pulling this out

244
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: of as you nowhere. He is talking to people. But

245
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: it's a tough time of year, and he's got a

246
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of columns, he's got a right so I understand

247
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: painfully well where Jim Bowden is working. And a dollar

248
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: nine nine from our friend Richard Flores saying Scott is

249
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: a Dodger pro. No kitchen for his backdrop, my co

250
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: host on my show, Kevin Skinner catching some strays for

251
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: the kids table in the kitchen. But let's spin forward

252
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: a little bit, so we know Roki Sasaki not a

253
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: factor to be a Dodger, at least for the next

254
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: couple of months. To me, I'm looking at the state

255
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: of the Dodger starting rotation right now, and I am uncomfortable.

256
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: I do not see a group of dudes that can

257
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: run it back, because you really only have I don't.

258
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you could say four healthy dudes, you can

259
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: say three healthy dudes, you can say two healthy dudes.

260
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: Because Otani is not going to be ready for opening

261
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: day because of his labor surgery. Yamamoto had the shoulder

262
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: injury last year. Glass Noow finished the year on the

263
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: injured list. Tony Gonsolin we haven't seen since he was

264
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: pitching mostly injured in twenty twenty three. Very good in

265
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. But these are the guys you have

266
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw still technically a free agent, Walker Buehler a

267
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: free agent. Now we hear the other part of it.

268
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal also reporting something I agree on. The Dodgers

269
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: are going to be hot in the starting pitching market,

270
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: and they reportedly have met with Blake Snell's representatives this week.

271
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it was this week, but Snell trying to get

272
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: signed a lot sooner than he did last year. There's

273
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: three big name free agents. There's Blake Snell, Corbyn Burns,

274
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: and Max Freed. These are the three the Dodgers have

275
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: been linked to all off season. Who do you like more?

276
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: What's kind of the feeling you have in your soul

277
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: of who fits the Dodger's best long term and who's

278
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: realistically has the best chance of coming to LA.

279
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 3: I would say so it's a nice conversation to have

280
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 3: because it's also has the name power right, and we

281
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: can operate this. This is something we talked about pre

282
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 3: as well, about the Dodgers hunting for high end starting pitching.

283
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: And I think that with Corbyns, he's going to provide

284
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: you length, He's going to provide you bulk stuff. I

285
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 3: know there's some concerns about the strikeout stuff coming down,

286
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: But I think the Dodgers you know pitching staff, you

287
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: know Mark Pryor and the rest of the planning guys there,

288
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 3: they have an ability to get the best out of

289
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: these guys. But Corvin Burns goes in day in, day out.

290
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: He's making you thirty two starts a year. He's going

291
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 3: to be out there all the time. But for what

292
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: Blake Snell provides, he's not going to command, you know,

293
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: a deal in the seven year range. It might be

294
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: a four, it might be a five, but he's going

295
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: to give you big time strikeout stuff. Walk numbers are

296
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 3: there for sure, But I think that there's enough traction

297
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 3: with Snell. Last offseason, before the Giants offered him that contract,

298
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: the Dodgers made their like we're ready to make their

299
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: pitch as well.

300
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: Didn't happen. So there is a track record there.

301
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of one and one with Snell

302
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: or Corvin Burns. I don't mind either one. Max Freed,

303
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: I know, is just an incredible talent, but there is

304
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: a run of you know, injuries there that I kind

305
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: of want to stay away from. I know, the rapport

306
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 3: he has with the players right now. I just I

307
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: don't know why there's something telling me to stay away

308
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: a little bit for Max Free. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong,

309
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: But it still means that they were either in the

310
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 3: hunt for Corven Burns or Blake Snell.

311
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously you know Snell has some history

312
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: around the Dodgers. With the Dodgers, I really do like

313
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: where he's at in his career right now. You saw

314
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: him kind of have a really really bad start to

315
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty four season wearing a Giant's uniform, but

316
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: he's been around the league. Now at this point, he's

317
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: He's a two time cy Young Award winner, Like, you

318
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: can't take that away both leagues. The dude's been the

319
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: best in two leagues different points in his career. I

320
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: love the ability to punch. I love the ability to

321
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: He seems like he fits in as a Dodger very well,

322
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: because we know in LA the expectation isn't always a

323
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: go seven, eight, nine, ten innings or whatever. Like he

324
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: can be a five and dive, he can be a

325
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: six inning guy. We know what others think about somebody

326
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: like a Blake Snell, but he fits into the six

327
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: man rotation idea. He can give you more if he needs,

328
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: but I like the ability to rare back and get

329
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: a punch out. You can get that a little bit

330
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: with Burns as well. Burns could definitely get you more innings.

331
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: And when you're looking at the state of the staff

332
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: and all of the injuries, and you know, we had

333
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: Mark Pryor on the show on Monday talking about the

334
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: six man rotation and you know some of how it

335
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: affects the rest of the team, the bullpen. Having somebody

336
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: else who can be in there, you could plug in

337
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty two hundred innings. I think that

338
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: goes a long way. And both of those dudes, you know,

339
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: in the best case scenario, both of them can or

340
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: there's injuries and then we're all sad and everything explodes.

341
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: But if I have we'll say, you know, I don't

342
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: want to say gun to my head, but I'm gonna

343
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: say gun to my head right now. I take Blake Snell.

344
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: I've been kind of in on Blake Snell. I started

345
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: talking myself into him towards the end of last offseason,

346
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's the perfect time for him to

347
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: go home, join join his his father, Austin Barnes for

348
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: what could be Barnesy's last season in Dodger Blue. Go

349
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: join Papa and try to run it back. That's where

350
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm at on Blake Snell on these rumors. With that,

351
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll ask you one more and then we'll move on.

352
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: In my opinion as well, going back to the rookie

353
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Susaki thing, I feel like the fact that it is

354
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 1: delayed so the Dodgers right now they don't know where

355
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: they're at. It helps and knowing yet we're not going

356
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: to sign him immediately, but again the state of the

357
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: starting rotation is a little iffy. I'm wondering if this

358
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: increases the chances of the Dodgers re signing Walker Bueler.

359
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: I know you you would love to have Walker back.

360
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: I think all of us would love to have Walker back.

361
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: After listening to him on Mookie Betts podcast this week,

362
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: what is that something you think is maybe in Andrew

363
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Friedman Brandon Gom's mind kind of pushing it a little

364
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: bit more than they might have let's say two weeks

365
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: ago this I.

366
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: Would say, I don't. I would say it kind of

367
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 3: stays the same. I think they've they've factored all these

368
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 3: things in. I think the Dodgers' front office knew that

369
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: this was going. If Roki Sasaki were to have signed on.

370
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: You know, he hasn't even you know, ball hasn't gotten

371
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: rolling yet, right, So I think that them, not the Dodgers'

372
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 3: front office, not slapping the qualifying offront of Walker Bueler,

373
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 3: just did him, you know, an incredible service by allowing

374
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 3: him to go out find out what the market is

375
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: for him.

376
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: And I've seen projections.

377
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: I know ESPN's Kylie McDaniel put out a projection for

378
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: Walkerbueler and we debated this on our Dodger Head show

379
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 3: that it was three years, fifty four million. I think

380
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: that's very steep from what we saw. But I think

381
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 3: that the intrigue that I've seen and I was critical

382
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: of Walker Bueler at the beginning of last year just

383
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 3: because I wanted to see his fastball metrics weren't great.

384
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: I was saying that he needs to lend more towards

385
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 3: throwing his secondary stuff.

386
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: And you got to see that a lot.

387
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: When he was at his best, his cutter was working beautifully,

388
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 3: his knuckle curve numbers were ticking up, and you got

389
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: to see that on the biggest stage, in the final

390
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: inning of the World Series, he lent a lot of

391
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: you know, kilp he loved his knuckle curve. Hes stuck

392
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: with it. So from what I would like to see

393
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: with Walker Buler coming back is maybe a one in

394
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: one sign him to a one year second year is

395
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 3: a mutual option there. But I think that Walker Buller

396
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: there's a lot left in the tank. And just like

397
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: he said, Walker Buler quoted he said I'm a problem now.

398
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 2: He figured it out. I'm a problem now.

399
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: So heavily loaded on bud Light by the way, But yeah,

400
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: I agree he's a problem, but.

401
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: That's when his truth's coming out, right.

402
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: So I want to see Walker Buller back just because

403
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: if you guide him through the regular season, whatever you

404
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: get out of him, he's going to continue to learn,

405
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: continue to build. I want to see again, how much

406
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: does twenty one have left in the tank here?

407
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: What does he have towards the postseason?

408
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 3: Because there's players that just perform and the lights are

409
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 3: on Kei Ky Hernandez has done it year in and

410
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 3: year out. Walker Buler has done year in and year out.

411
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: When that postseason lends his on him, something happens. But

412
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 3: I think this second part of Walker Bueler's career is

413
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 3: something that I personally don't want to see anywhere else.

414
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: I've you know, said I if he gets in the

415
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 3: Brewers lab, the Tampa Bay Rays, he goes to the

416
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 3: Cleveland Guardians and they figure out a little bit more,

417
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: I'll be upset. I need him to stay with the Dodgers.

418
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: But Clint, I also think that they can do a

419
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 3: deal like that while getting a front end guy with Sosaki,

420
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: just because they need they need these starting pitchers. They'll

421
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 3: need these arms and going ahead out like getting going

422
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: out on a limit saying a six man rotation is

423
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: where they're trending.

424
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: They'll need they'll they'll need to make this happen.

425
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: And you need more. We saw it last year. You

426
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 1: need to have more. We've seen it in so many

427
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: years past. So we had a spring training where there

428
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: was like eight I think there was eight starting pitchers

429
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: vying for five spots, and you still had to go

430
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: to ten twelve different arms, getting starts, getting opens, whatever

431
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: it is. So bring back Buehler, sign Blake Snell. Hope

432
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: that Roki Sasaki comes to LA and you're in a

433
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: really really good spot to run it back because you

434
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: know Clayton Kershaw is still coming back at some point

435
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: and you have other bodies ready to go. Maybe Dustin

436
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: may move the bullpen fills in that Daniel Hudson spot.

437
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of stuff, very very I think it's

438
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 1: going to be has the potential be a crazy busy

439
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: winter meetings for the team, even if they're not getting

440
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: anything done. But perfect timing.

441
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, look at the last thing real quick.

442
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 3: Look at the starting rotation of what it is. It's

443
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 3: like Yamamoto o Tani's not coming back to second half,

444
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 3: and then you've got Tyler Glass now which they often

445
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: monitor with his elbow like very closely. Tony Gonsolin's working

446
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 3: into a full workload. Bobby Miller has this stuff, but

447
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: we have no clue what we're getting. Dustin May can

448
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 3: he sustain a starting pitching type of workload land and

449
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: knacks out there. So there's a lot of question marks

450
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: they'll need arms. It's a deeper thing. I'm not going

451
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: to say it's a problem because they can find the

452
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: production they always do, but it's an area that they'll

453
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 3: need to dip heavily into, which is why do.

454
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: That bring back to oscarrnandez Ki Gernandez?

455
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: All right, next segment, Yeah, we got perfect timing, guys,

456
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: It's time to flash forward here into the everybody's favorite,

457
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: or at least it's one of my favorite. It's time

458
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: for Nostra Dumbat. Yes, what a great front and who

459
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: if that doesn't get you hyped, I don't know what will.

460
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: But we're gonna have a little bit of fun here

461
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: with me and Scottie g Guys, make sure you're subscribed,

462
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: of course, follow him on the Twitter if you're not already,

463
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 1: it's at Scott Gearman. He makes it really easy. It's

464
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: just his name. Where we are a week, two weeks away,

465
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: with two and a half weeks away from winter meetings.

466
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Dodgers have some holes. Yeah, it's still a very very

467
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: good product out there, but they got some holes on

468
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: that roster. We've already talked a lot about the pitching

469
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: side of things. They committed breaking news, they committed a

470
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: lot of money to this team last year. How much

471
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: more can they commit? And we already kind of talked

472
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: a little bit about, you know, other additions. Maybe we're

473
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: talking before the show actually about like Willia Doomas, that's

474
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: another name. Ken Rosenthal threw into the equation other other players,

475
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: saying the Dodgers are among the favorites to potentially land

476
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: a Willia Doomas. If I'm looking where there are holes outfield, infield,

477
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: non pitching side, I want to see a Willia Damas

478
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: in a Dodger's uniform. But let's let's kind of spit

479
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: ball with this. What in your opinion right now? Put

480
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: on your best Andrew Friedman cap, your best Andrew Freeman robe.

481
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: What do you think the Dodgers plan is this offseason?

482
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: So with Willia Damas, and I see some regulars in

483
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 3: the chat that tune into our stuff. When when I

484
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 3: you know, I've been speaking about Willia Damas since last

485
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 3: year when they're figuring out shortstop. Williadamas is someone that

486
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: of course, he's at the high end of where the start,

487
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: like the shortstop market is at, right. But if we're

488
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 3: getting into the range of a contract for Willia Damas

489
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 3: and we're pushing two hundred million, say seven years two

490
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 3: hundred million, that's too much for me, That is too much.

491
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: I'll put that flat out. But if it's.

492
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 3: Getting to the point where it's six years like a

493
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 3: buck fifty, which is where like spot Track have him

494
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: projected at. He is the cream of the crop right

495
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: now on the free agent short stop market, right and

496
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 3: then if you project ahead, you look towards, you know,

497
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: year after year. I would say up until Gunner Henderson's

498
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: potentially a free agent with the Baltimore Orioles, which I

499
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 3: don't think he leaves there. There are not many options

500
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: out there he you'd be willing to pencil in saying

501
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to give a contract to I'm going to

502
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: bring you in to the Dodgers organization and be there

503
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 3: every day shortstop. So it's kind of I'm not going

504
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: to say this last stop, but it is one of

505
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: their last opportunities to fill the shortstop void. Unless they're

506
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: just going to pencil in Miguel Rojas, they're going to

507
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: say Tommy Edmond, you're going to be our part time shortstop,

508
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 3: which I love me some Tommy Edman, one of my

509
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: favorite players that I'll just have.

510
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: Acquired in the last ten years. Right, But this is

511
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 2: the opportunity.

512
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: It definitely is, and I think that's why they're keeping

513
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 3: their options open to pivot a certain number of ways.

514
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: I won't be upset either one, but Clint, it's definitely

515
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: with Willia Damas. That's that it's this last opportunity to

516
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 3: sign one of those upper echelon guys where it's not

517
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 3: a Trey Turner contract, it's not a Xander Bogart Haander

518
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: Bilgart's contract, but you're still going to be getting this

519
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: power production here.

520
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's also not a Corey Seeger level contract,

521
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: and we know they were willing to go pretty high

522
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: on keeping Corey Seeger around. Look, the fact of the

523
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: matter is the Dodgers have some infield prospects, but they

524
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: don't have what my feeling is, they don't have guys

525
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: they fully trust. They don't have guys they are willing

526
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: to run out there. The last guy we saw was

527
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: Miguel Vargas flamed out in twenty three, traded in twenty four,

528
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: saddest man in baseball in twenty four. They don't have

529
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: dudes that they really really throw that in there, really

530
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: that they are fully bought into. Maybe Kellen Lindsay down

531
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: the road, I like the outfield depth they have. If

532
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: we are projecting forward, we're looking at host Way to Paula,

533
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: maybe Zayre hope they rather Kid Kendall George. They have

534
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: some speed, They have some talent, whether they help at

535
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: the major league level in a Dodger uniform or they

536
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: help elsewhere in a trade. They have the outfield kind

537
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: of covered. But when you look at the infield, this

538
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: needs to be the offseason that kind of it doesn't

539
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: just set you up for twenty twenty five. I think

540
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: it sets you up for three years down the road,

541
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: for five years down the road. And you know, we

542
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: talked a lot our producer Sarah through in the chat,

543
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: like are we interested into Boba Schett trade? I think

544
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: Toronto is still keen on holding onto him, but maybe

545
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: he's somebody that's available at the trade deadline. But I

546
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: don't want to be in that situation that we found

547
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: ourselves in a couple months ago Scott, where we were worried,

548
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: we knew how much help this team needed at the

549
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: trade deadline and kind of got lucky taking a flyer

550
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: on an injured player who hadn't even played. And Tommy

551
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: Edmund he you know, he goes into to Corey Seeger

552
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: god mode during the NLCS, steps in, plays a great

553
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: shortstop and all that. I mean, we kind of lucked

554
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: into that. I feel like if you can get a

555
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: williadamis right now and it literally is just costing you money,

556
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: and he's somebody who can play shortstop for you for

557
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: the next three or four years and maybe moved a

558
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: third if one of those other shortstop dudes works out,

559
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: you got it. I think you gotta go in. What

560
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: was the number you said is too high for you?

561
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: Two hundred?

562
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: If it's I it's two hundred, it's too much. I

563
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: understand what he's at. But it's the tier of hitter,

564
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: or it's the it's the you know, caliber of hitter

565
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: that like tai Oscar Hernandez is right, it's a lot

566
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 3: of You're going to get a lot of slug.

567
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: You're going to get some whiff in there.

568
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 3: But the caveat is that williadamis he had a down

569
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: year defensively this one, but I think it's more of

570
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 3: an outlier.

571
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: But he is an elite defender.

572
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 3: But I saw someone in Chad say that, you know

573
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 3: they Brandon Gome said that shortstop is not a priority

574
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: for them. I think they can find the production and

575
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 3: a couple of different spots. But a lot of this

576
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: depends on with Mooki Bets moving back to the infield. Yeah,

577
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 3: it's a lot of that happened because I remember the

578
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 3: second that was announced last year that Mooki was taking

579
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: right field reps. It was just an immediate relief that

580
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 3: they it opened up the rest of the roster and

581
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 3: it just we remember that we definitely do that. It

582
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: was a huge deal. And I know, if Mooki Bets

583
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 3: moving back to the field, now, what do you do

584
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 3: with Gavin Lux Is you a rotational guy here? You

585
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: need to find some outfield options. But again, I think

586
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: that if you're comfortable with the platoon of Dalton Rushing

587
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 3: and Andy Paiez in a corner outfield spot, then I'm

588
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 3: okay with that, I really am. There's at one point, Clint,

589
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 3: You've got to find out, like if Candy's top prospects play,

590
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 3: and I think that Dalton Rushing has a production to

591
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 3: be able to do it, you bring back to Oscar

592
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: Hernandez here and slots right in. Then you're basically heading

593
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 3: into twenty twenty five with the offense that you felt

594
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: comfortable again running into a season with or the second

595
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: part of a season and eventually going on to win

596
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: a World Series, So I.

597
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: Don't think you have to do too much offensively.

598
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: I think I'm convincing myself more about Willia Domis just

599
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: because of not having a shortstop that's a mainstay, big

600
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: time guy makes me uncomfortable. But I think if they

601
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 3: find the production elsewhere, I think will be okay.

602
00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Yeah for me again, I'll throw this out there, and

603
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: with all due respect to my all Dodgers co host

604
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: producer Kevin Mookie Betts is not going to be a shortstop.

605
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: Even if throwing was his biggest issue, He's still not

606
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: going to be a shortstop. And moving him here at

607
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: this age, yea, it's not the right move. Second base

608
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: is great. Now what does that mean for Gavin Lucks.

609
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 1: Gavin Lucks's only value to this team is now going

610
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,959
Speaker 1: to be as a shortstop. So you work on it,

611
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: you figure it out. If they don't sign Willie, Damas

612
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: are like, well, we'll have to hit this one quick

613
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: as we are running out of time. But do how

614
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: comfortable are we if they at some point tell us

615
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: during the winter meetings like Gavin Lux could be our

616
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: shortstop and then you, I mean, we know we have ripcords.

617
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: We know we have Miguel Rojas. We know we have

618
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond around, which makes me feel better about doing

619
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: the lux experiment again. I mean, we've seen him be

620
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: an elite bat when he's right, when he's healthy, when

621
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: he talks to Uncle Aggie, Uncle Aggie. But they if

622
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: you hear that's what's your stomach doing. If you hear

623
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 1: having lux, is gonna get a chance to be the

624
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: starting shortstop again. And there I'm.

625
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: Why Thanksgiving meal churning.

626
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: And this is why I believe if you can go

627
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: out and get Williadomas, you gotta go out and get

628
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,280

646
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: we're pretty low on time. I'm going to do this.

647
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk for a minute about how good Mookie

648
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: Bets podcast was and one factor in there where they

649
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: all agreed San Diego was the best team this team

650
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: faced in the playoffs. San Diego is still pretty good.

651
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: They have some missing pieces, but the Dodgers got to

652
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: get better. That's all gonna throw to you. Run with that.

653
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: I left you very little to work with. Run with that.

654
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers got to get better than the Padres.

655
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: I called this in Getting out of the Division Series

656
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 3: Round on our shows. First off, the podcast was incredible.

657
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: I loved it.

658
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 3: Mooki Bets is amazing at it. Everybody can weep Mookie

659
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: Betts is doing his things. It's incredible.

660
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: I love that the players are standing with him on that.

661
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: But from what we said, we all could see that

662
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 3: the Pottery's had the most complete ross going into that postseason.

663
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: Their deadline moves for aj Preller were cherry on top

664
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: type of moves. Those are the moves that if you

665
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: go on to win a World Series, you say you

666
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 3: did a hell of a job. Preller like, those are

667
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 3: the moves that they needed. They did it, they accomplished it,

668
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: but they didn't The Dodgers knew that they were. The

669
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: Patres were a force. It's just they went into an

670
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 3: incredible cold streak. The Dodgers game plan and prepare and

671
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 3: execute second to none, better than anybody. So they all

672
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: agreed that once they got through that. Max Months even

673
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 3: said it himself, He's like, it's not that we, you know,

674
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: let up, It's that we could take a breath that

675
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: they got past what they saw was the best team

676
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: in the playoffs.

677
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: And I loved it. That's the biggest thing I took away.

678
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was so good. If you guys
