Dodger Talk is sponsored by LA Care Health Plan, providing affordable healthcare insurance to
millions of Angelinos for over twenty five years. And now your voice for Dodger
Talking like that, David Vasse. Welcome the Dodger Talk. David Vasse with
you until nine thirty tonight from the Bronx. We are alive at Yankee Stadium
after the Dodgers take it to the Yanks eleven to three. The final score
eight sixty six nine eight seven two five seventy is the phone number we will
get to your phone calls. Also, we'll give you an update on James
Paxton, Bobby Miller, and we will be joined by a longtime reporter here
in New York and author of a brand new Brian Cashman Yankees ten year book,
Andy Martino, who will explain to us a path that Brian Cashman almost
ran the Dodgers in two thousand and six, So you want to stick around
for that. And also we got some mind numbing trade talk as there are
some names that are becoming more real than others, and we will get to
that as well. But certainly tonight a big night for taoscar Hernandez as he
powers the Dodgers past the Yankees tonight eleven to three. Ta Oscar with two
home runs and six RBIs. That was quite a night for Taoscar. Hernandez
tied a career high with six RBIs. He's now driven in six runs in
a game three different times, and the Dodgers become the first major League team
in baseball history to have two players with the last name Hernandez homer in the
same game. Key k Hernandez gave the Dodgers the lead again in the fifth
inning with a solo home run to right field, and of course, ta
Oscar two home runs tonight that went over four hundred feet each, the home
run early in the game in the second inning and then in the eighth inning
a grand slam off of Tommy Kinley, and that broke the back of the
Yankees, as the Dodgers now have won the series from the Yankees, winning
the first two games. Last night in eleven inning victory two to one.
Tonight, they come back with eleven runs as Gavin Stone improves his record to
seven and two. Is er now on the year two ninety three, and
Gavin Stone did not shy away from this big stage in front of the highest
paid attendance at Yankee Stadium this year forty eight thousand, three hundred and seventy
four. We're here at Yankee Stadium tonight, and like I said yesterday,
it was playoff like atmosphere and tonight same thing. Playoff like atmosphere. Certainly,
this game got a out of reach in the eighth inning, but it
was a close game up until then. A couple of mistakes by the Yankees,
including by former Alex Verdugo who misjudged the Freddie Freeman fly ball in the
fifth inning. Freddie was at second base in the sixth inning excuse me,
with one out and then was able to come home later that inning. So
that was a big run right there, to give the Dodgers a four to
two lead. And I thought maybe the biggest moment of the game was Alex
Vesia coming in to bailout Gavin Stone, who maybe was starting to run out
of gas in that sixth inning. Vessia came in after Gavin Stone loaded the
bases by walking Trent Grisham, the number nine hitter who's hitting under a buck
this year. Vessia came in to face the very dangerous Anthony Volpi with the
bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning, he was able to retire
him with a fly ball to the left, and then came back for the
seventh inning to face Verdugo, Judge and Stanton, and he was able to
to retire them in order. So for me, if I'm giving the game
ball, yes, Tascar Hernandez gets it, but also I'm finding another ball
and get another baseball and giving it to Alex Vessia for what he did tonight
in relief. Eight sixty six seven two five seventy is the phone number we
had a chance to catch up with last night's hero and tonight's big star,
ta Oscar Hernandez. Tail I saw the Dominican Republic flag out here at Yankee
Stadium. How great of a night was it? It's incredible. This feeling
is unbelievable, nothing like it. I enjoy the best that I can and
I got a lot of family here, so it was a great one.
I don't usually see a lot of emotion from you after a home run.
Why did you show so much after the second one? The grand slam?
I mean, you know, ground slams are like rare, especially in that
situation. I just let everything out. I enjoy go to the team betiversation
some week and win the bowl game. Tell you in that second at bat
against Tommy Kinley when you hit the grand slam, threw a lot of changeups
down in the zone, were you looking soft? Yeah? You know,
he's a victure that he trust in the gene up and he gotta trust in
and his change up, he's a very good one. I got a good
one in the strike zone and I just hit hard. Hey. I love
when the sunflower seeds are coming your way. You started it and you got
it twice tonight. Congratulations, thank you, appreciate it me. There is
Taascar Hernandez who has that million dollars smile. It was great to see tonight,
and he showed a lot of emotion when he hit that grand Slam,
and I love seeing that emotion. I love seeing it in this atmosphere.
I love to see it in a big moment like that. I want to
see more Dodgers show that type of emotion. And Tascar Hernandez was the player
that came up with throwing the sunflower seeds to the guy that hit home run,
and he he's been getting the sunflower seeds more than any other Dodger because
he leads them now with fifteen home runs, and leads them and runs driven
in this season with forty seven RBIs so ta Oscar Hernandez such a big part
of this Dodger offense. So much has been talked about after the first four
hitters, how there's a drop off in production. Well, you can't be
talking about the four or the five or six hitters. It's been the seven,
eight, nine guys. Because when Max Munsey was healthy, him and
Taoskar Hernandez did bridge that part of the first four to the bottom third.
And obviously it hasn't worked out a lot early in the season. But if
the Dodgers are able to get Max Munsey back here in the next three to
four weeks and you have Jason Hayward healthy, all of a sudden, now
your first seven hitters, the lineup is a lot deeper. So Taoscar Hernandez
what a Obviously Yamamoto and Otani got a lot of attention, But is Taoscar
Hernandez the best free agent signing that nobody is talking about. The Dodgers signed
him to a one year contract, Nobody offered him more. He was really
good last year, and the Dodgers signed him with the intention of playing every
day like he is right now. With the injury to Jason Hayward that kept
him out for the first month after Korea. With James Outman being sent down,
Taoskar Hernandez has been the one outfielder that has been on the field every
day, has been their most productive outfielder and to me is on the way
to Texas to play for the National League in the All Star Game. Taoscar
Hernandez the least talked about best free agent signing of this past winter. Eight
six, six nine, eight seven, two five seventy is the phone number.
Let's go out to Izzy in Los Angeles. You're on Dodger Talk.
How you doing? Is he good? How are you? I'm doing great,
that's good. What do you got? So my question today is do
you Thinkoskar Hernandez deserves or should get Player of the Month this month? If
he keeps this up, yeah, if he keeps this up, for sure.
But we're only in the first what seven or eight days of June.
Is he becoming one of your favorite players? Is he? Yeah? All
right? Awesome, Thank you for the phone call. Appreciated. I feel
like Taoscar Hernandez is becoming a household name after what he did tonight, certainly
on this stage, and also what he's done in the first half of the
season. Forget about player of the month. If you look at National League
outfielders, ti Oscar Hernandez by far has been the most productive outfielder in the
National League. It's not even close, and there's a couple of differ different
reasons for that. Fernando Tatist Junior is right behind him, yes, but
he's not having an MVP caliber season. Last time I checked, his ops
was below eight hundred, and Bryce Harper has moved to first base, Mookie
Beds has moved to shortstops. So the National League outfield is a little weak
these days, and ti Oscar Hernandez is certainly separating himself into me. Not
only should be a National League All Star, but he has a case to
be a starter for the National League All Star Team. Let's go out to
Huntington Beach. Brian, You're on Dodger Talk. How you doing, Brian
Dame, I'm doing great. First of all, I have to tell you
I'm seriously I've been listening to Dodger Talk since Jeff Witcher. Okay, oh
yeah too. No, come on, Ross Porter was awesome. I know
you don't like to have your butt kiss, but listen, you gotta hear
it. Okay, here's the thing, this is a no Brainerdom. Why
aren't the Dodgers wearing their Brooklyn Dodger hats at least if not the Brooklyn jerseys,
it would Greay Brian, I'm with you there. Forget about these ridiculous
City Connect uniforms. The Dodgers when it's Jackie Robinson Day should be wearing the
Brooklyn Bee on their hats, and also maybe even go as far as to
wear the nineteen fifty five or nineteen forty seven, the year that Jackie broke
in. They should be wearing that uniform on Jackie Robinson Day. And honestly,
you know, I understand what you're saying here, But the LA Dodgers
and New York Yankees have a history, so I'm fine with that. But
as far as like jerseys and all that go back to the eighty one jerseys
instead of these City Connect jerseys that we're hearing about. That's fun, but
we rarely play in New York anymore. Just when we're at Yankee Stadium.
The fans that still love the Dogs Dodgers would cheer up if they saw those
old Brooklyn hats on their hats. They'd be thinking about their grandfathers. Everybody.
I hear you, I hear you on that. But the Dodgers are
now in LA, and the Dodgers and Yankees, with the Dodgers being on
the West Coast, have their own history of rivalry in the World Series.
The Dodgers swept the Yankees in nineteen sixty three. Mickey Mannle was on that
team. Sandy Cofax was stellar as always, and the seventy seven, seventy
eight, and eighty one World Series run deep as well, Brian, So
you don't have to go all the way back to Brooklyn to find that rivalry.
It came to the West Coast. But you know, I'm cool with
that. If that's what you want, if that's what they decided, I
would be cool with that. But I'm proud about Los Angeles. I'm proud
to have the Dodgers in LA. Good job, listen, Dave, I'm
telling you, I love you. You're the best. Keep up to your
work, and the guy who's answering phones for you he's terrific too. Thank
you that's calling ye and yes he is awesome. Thank you for the phone
call, Brian, appreciate you listening. No doubt about it. Hey,
this is going to be a more regular occurrence, the Dodgers coming to Yankee
Stadium. It has not happened since twenty sixteen. I haven't been here since.
Yasiel Puige and Andre Ethier we're patrolling the outfield for the Dodgers. That's
how long it's been. But it's going to happen every other year with the
new schedule where every team plays each other, you take turns going to one
city one season, going back to the other one the next season. I
mean last year the Dodgers went to Kansas City. The Royals are coming to
Dodgers Stadium this week, and so are the Texas Rangers. And I have
a pair of tickets for one of the games next week at Dodgers Stadium.
If you are caller number five in honor of Corey Seger eight six six nine
eight seven two five seventy, you will get that those pair of tickets courtesy
of US Dodgers Radio and five to seventy LA Sports. All Right, we're
gonna take a time out here on Dodger Talk. When we come back,
I'm gonna share my experiences with Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez before the game today,
and also we'll get into some mind numbing trade talk as well. Eight

this was a playoff like Atmosphere last night, playoff like Atmosphere today, even
during batting practice a later start tonight, but still brought out all the stars.
You saw it on the Fox broadcast. Spike Lee was here, CC
Sabbathia was here. My guy Brad Paisley was here. I got to go
visit him, and then ran into Freddie Freeman's dad on the way back.
Up, so I always loved seeing Freddie Freeman. Senior. Mariano Rivera was
here. Speaking of Freddie Freeman, I was talking to Freddie and jose Vis
Guayano when Mariano Rivera went out of his way to number one see his former
teammate jose Vis Guyano and also shake hands Freddie Freeman and congratulated him on being
part of the World Series Championship Club, and Freddie really appreciated that. Pretty
cool to see Mariano interact with a man that probably will join him one day
in Cooperstown in Freddie Freeman. Also, the Fox Baseball crew was out here
with the great Kevin Burkhardt, a great dude, a guy that still has
his feet on the ground even with all the success he's had. Great to
see Kevin out here. Big Poppy was out here to see his little brother,
Mookie Betts. They go back to the Boston Red Sox days. David
Ortiz was a big brother to Mookie back then and they have a great relationship
to this day. But also Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez. We're here and
I have different interactions with Alex Rodriguez and a different reality with him than the
perception of him is out there. I know many of you don't lie him.
I understand why. But Alex has always been great to me and gracious,
and I haven't seen him in two or three years, and he went
out of his way to say hello to me, and we had a chance
to catch up. But Derek Jeter, Derek Jeter, I mean, don't
we all put on our pants one leg at a time. I know he
has three thousand hits. I know he's probably the most revered Yankee that's still
alive right now. But Derek Jeter a media type. Now right he's in
the media. I had, you know, I can take rejection, but
I don't like being snubbed and felt like I'm beneath somebody. So I saw
Derek Jeters talking being interviewed by another New York writer. So I made my
way over to that part of the field, which was right in front of
the Yankees dugout, and when Jeter was done with this rider, I said,
excuse me, Derek, I'm David Dodgers Radio. Can I ask you
a couple of questions? And as I'm speaking to him, he's walking towards
going down the steps in the dugout like a safe zone, and I said,
hey, I just want to ask you what your thoughts are about Mookie
Betts playing shortstop? Yeah? Yeah, maybe in three minutes. And then
as he's saying this, one of his two bodyguards steps in between me and
him. Am I going to physically assault Derek Jeter? I was at least
fifteen feet away from him. His reply to me is fine, he didn't
have time. He had to go on live TV. That's fine. Maybe.
And then later, about fifteen minutes after he was off the air,
he's walking back towards the tunnel, has to pass me in front of the
Dodger dugout, and he has three bodyguards and there was no fans in the
stadium. Why do you need three to four bodyguards for Alex Rodriguez, Derek
Jeter, and David Ortiz. We are all working professionals here. It made
no sense to me. Man, New York is different. I'm telling you
it's different. All right, Let's get to some mind numbing trade talk.
The Dodgers have been linked to Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox. Luis
Robert, who only has played one hundred games once in his brief career with
the White Sox. I believe he's been in the league for five years,
four or five years, and he's only played one season where he's played over
one hundred games, and that was last year, and he had a great
year. And talking to guys that were teammates with Luis Robert over the course
of the last week or so, they've told me he's a great guy,
a great teammate, and a great player when he's on the field, which
isn't too often. But the Dodgers have some interest in Luis Robert. The
White Sox are taking the best offers. So if you have a great offer,
the White Sox will take it because they're willing to trade Luis Robert,
and the Dodgers have a wealth of talent in their minor leagues. Luis Robert
could help the offense. I'm not necessarily one of these people that believe they
absolutely need to add in the outfield. They need to add somewhere to lengthen
their lineup, and Louis Robert, if he's healthy, he's a difference maker,
no doubt about it. He has played four games this month after missing
the entire month of May with a hip injury. He has played four games
he has He's three for sixteen with two home runs. So, like I
said, he's a good player when he's on the field. And I know
everybody knows. The Dodgers training staff, strength and conditioning coaches are the best
in baseball, which is true, but they can't do They can't change a
guy. The guy has to want to change to be better to stay on
the field more. And the Dodgers also can manage Luis Robert physically because they
have the depth to be able to play him maybe four or five straight days
and then give him a day off to try to make him last all season
through October. And Luis Robert, by the way, is under contract for
not only the rest of this year, but also next year. Let's go
out to Alejandro, who was at Yankee Stadium tonight. Alejandro, were you
part of that Dodger fan club that marched their way through the streets of the
Bronx to Yankee Stadium? Yes, sir, day we were a pantone two
ninety four. I'm currently on the corner of fifty one and sixth Street getting
some scharmus. You're getting one of that. You get some street meet,
You're getting some street meet right now exactly, Well, what was it like
being on the streets of the Bronx? Did you guys? I saw you
had a police escort? How did uh the Yankee fans treat you? Guys?
It was epic, it was it was exactly. It was exactly how
I thought it was you. It's I tried to explain, but it was.
It was beautiful. All the Dodger fans out here, I understand that.
But how how were you treated in the streets of the Bronx? All
right, Uh, there's a lot of love for the Dodgers out here.
The Yankee fans were respectful. They they left after the Grand Slam, of
course, but nothing but love. I saw that. Yeah, we were
all right. Here's another question, Alejandro. Here's another question, Alejandro.
What was it like to get How did you guys get a police escort?
Was that NYPD being generous or uh? Did you guys arrange that? I'm
I'm not exactly sure how that happened. We just we were just uh,
everybody was out in the middle of the street just partying it up. And
I guess the NYP had no choice, but just guess for us in Okay,
Yeah, that was pretty fun. Ta Oscar Hernandez, Alejandro, you
feel like a lot of these Dodger fans now are gonna start buying ta Oscar
jerseys. Of course, as soon as I get home, that's first thing
I'm gonna do. Hit up the Camry and then give me one of those
Dodger jerseys. You're sold. You're sold on tail. Huh. No,
I've diden't. I'm not. I haven't been. I've been waiting for him
to give me a really good to buy his jersey. All right, well
he's given you fifteen and forty seven reasons fifteen home runs, forty seven RBIs
Alejandro, that's awesome. You made it out here that you guys really have
a lot of passion for this team, and uh, they would not be
who they are as a duel franchise without the passion of the fans in Los
Angeles. So a salute to you guys. Thank you, Dave Dames,
thank you for all the imploy gus us up to date with all the Dodgers.
My pleasure be safe on the streets of New York tonight. Alejandro.
All right, thank you Dave too. Life all right there, he is,
Alejandro get in some street meet. That's what they call it, when
you go to one of these makeshift stands. They're all over New York.
Our own Dwayne McDonald, he has a great appetite for life. I'm sure
he's tried it a few times. Anyway, the Dodgers beat the Yankees tonight
eleven to three. They beat him last night two to one in eleven innings.
And look, I'm very aware of the fact that the Yankees are without
Juan Soto, who makes this lineup so much more dynamic. But you have
to give the credit to the Dodgers for doing what they were supposed to do
tonight against Nestor Cortes and the rest of that Yankees bullpen. But tonight Aaron
Judge with two home runs in the first two games of this series. Judge
is four for seven with the two home run tonight in three RBIs the rest
of the Yankees lineup in the first two games of this series eleven for eighty
three. That's a one thirty three batting average. So they're not doing much
without Juan Soto offensively. He may be available off the bench tomorrow night on
Sunday Night Baseball. Hey, I mentioned Andy Martino. He's a great writer,
and he has a new book out that's basically the story of Brian Cashman
with the Yankees. It's titled The Yankee Way, The Untold Inside Story of
the Brian Cashman Era. And Andy I have so much respect for him.
He tipped me off that in the book there is a connection between Brian Cashman
and the Dodgers. Here it is, Yeah, how about that? Brian
Cashman told me, and they're reporting for this book that after the two thousand
and five season the Yankees lost to the Angels in the Division Series, Cashman
was leaving the Yankees. He had interest elsewhere, including and most concretely,
from the Dodgers, who he says, offered him a five year contract worth
five million a year. He ended up taking half as much to come back
because of his loyalty to the Steinbrenner family. But at that time he was
so fed up with a micromanaging from George Steinbrenner. There was a shadow front
office of the Yankees operating out of Tampa and signing players that Cashman had nothing
to do with, and then Cashman would get blamed when they wouldn't work out.
So he was like I'm out of here, and he went after the
Dodgers, of course, had moved on from Paul Deep Pedesta. Cashman was
down the tracks with them, according to him, to take that job and
succeed Deep Podesta. That job obviously went to Ned Colletti instead. Cashman went
back to the Yankees after Steinrenner basically offered him for the first time full control
over baseball operations. But yeah, there's a whole alternate history there where he
was running the Dodgers at that time, which would have meant no Joe Tory
because they had had a falling out, No Don Mattingley because maddingly succeeded Tory.
So there's a whole alternate universe that would have happened in Dodger Land.
When you say Brian Cashman was down the road with the Dodgers down the road,
was he enough to get that offer enough to seriously consider it? His
debuty kind of his right hand person here at the time and still is Gene
after him and assistant GM here And she told me they were down the tracks,
so that's how she put it. And you know it's I guess it's
been long enough now, or they're willing to discuss that openly, but I
don't know if he ever got closed to putting pen to paper, but he
was very seriously considered and he had that concrete offer. Andrew Friedman has been
running the Dodgers since twenty fifteen. Cashman obviously knows him well from being with
the Rays. What's the dynamic of their relationship then and now now? A
couple of things there. The Yankees got in the situation by the late twenty
tens where I think it's fair to say that they were, if not trying
to emulate the Rays, really kind of chasing them. They knew that the
Rays were what they consider the smartest front office in the game. And that's
a tradition that started with with Andrew, even though he wasn't necessarily there by
that time. Obviously, the Rays are still in many ways on his in
his program, and the Yankees were. They tried an opener the playoffs and
it didn't work. There was blowback from the players like why are we trying
to be like the Rais. So there's that aspect of the dynamic that originated
with Friedman, and then there's the personal dynamic they had. I didn't put
this in the book, David, I'll tell you when the Dodgers were eliminated
one of the many times from the postseason. I believe this was after the
twenty twenty two season and they were getting beat up in the LA media.
We won't say names, Dylan Hernandez, but there was a lot of criticism
out there about Freeman and could he get them to the next level even though
they had won that one COVID World Series. Cashman reached out to Freedman and
said, hey, man, I know what this is like. They're killing
me here every year or two. The media sometimes doesn't understand how hard it
is just to be in the dance every year. So they have a certain
camaraderie of having that in common. And it is very similar here in New
York, where the Yankees are in it every single year, or close to
in it every single year. Just like the Dodgers. Their fans are getting
more and more frustrated. They haven't been able to get over that hump and
win a World Series since two thousand and nine. The Dodgers dig it over
that hump in twenty twenty. But still Cashman has reassured Freeman at times.
He's told me like I get it man. This is tough. We get
beat up, but don't worry. You're good at your job. That kind
of thing. Andy Martine is joining us. Is the author of this great
new book you can find anywhere, The Yankee Way, the Brian Cashman Story.
And Cashman has been in charge of the Yankees for over twenty years now.
Andy Andrew Friedman has been in charge of the Dodgers going on ten plus
years. If you hear about manager's voices just kind of being drowned out over
time, why has it worked for so long for Brian Cashman? And do
you believe Andrew Friedman can have the same type of tenure lengthwise with the Dodgers.
Yeah, that's an interesting framing because it has been a while now for
Freedman too, And it's clearly you can see with the Yankees the benefits of
continuity and the reason why Cashman, I don't think has gotten stale here.
He manages up to ownership well, but he also manages down well. People
here in this organization and baseball operations really do feel fiercely loyal to him,
and he's well liked. And that's in that balance and that era of trying
to balance the scouting and the analytics and all the things that are difficult organizations.
People like Cashman here not always players. He's very blunted with players and
is not afraid to pick a fight with one when he feels it's best for
the organization. But he's well liked among the people who work for him,
and I think that's what's helped, and that continuity helps them have traditions in
baseball operations that are in play all the time. They're not redoing it every
couple of years with a new GM or a new administration. Whether or not
Friedman can have that, certainly, you could probably speak to the internal dynamics
with the Dodgers better than I could. But from my vantage point, the
success that they're having year in and year out is what an ownership group wants.
Fans understandably want more championships for both of these teams, but if you're
hiring somebody to run your baseball operations, you want someone who's going to have
you in or near that position every single year, year in, year out.
That's what's good for fancy, for revenue, for ratings, and just
for overall success. So I can imagine that Freedman has done the job that
he was hired to do. I know ownership has said recently that they want
to win World Series more regularly in LA, but similar to Cashman, he's
got them in that position every year. So it would seem from the distance
that I'm at to make no sense to think about moving on from that.
There he is. Andy Martino. The new book The Yankee Way, the
untold inside story of the Brian Cashman era here with the Yankees, and it's
a great Father's Day gift if anybody is a Yankees fan or a baseball fan.
I strongly recommend that book, and obviously Andy mcculli's biography on Clayton Kershaw,
the last of his kind. But how about that story from Andy Martino.
Brian Cashman almost ran the Dodgers after the two thousand and five season before
they hired Ned Coletti. And if they do that, because of the fractured
relationship between cash and Tory, Joe Tory never would have managed the Dodgers either.
Very interesting and by the way, like I brought up to Andy Martino,
Andrew Friedman is on his way to running the Dodgers for twenty years because
remember that clause in the Otani contract. If Andrew Friedman leaves or if Mark
Walter sells the team in the next five years, show hey, Otani can
become a free agent. So we're talking about what twenty twenty nine. And
Andrew Friedman's first year with the Dodgers was in twenty fifteen, so he's on
the same path of being in charge of the Dodgers for just as long,
if not longer, than Brian Cashman has been with the Yankees. So very
interesting story there, and interesting about the dynamic and relationship between Brian Cashman and
Andrew Friedman. That'll do it for us tonight on Dodger Talk Tomorrow, Tyler
Glass now will be on the mound for the Dodgers, going up against Luis
Hill, who brings the heat. Marongo Casino. Dodgers on deck will be
