<v Speaker 1>Award winner and finally a Dodger. It's been a long

3
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>time coming. Andrew Friedman delivered in twenty twenty four, and

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>look at it and the Dodger blue had Dodger blue jersey. Blake.

5
00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't feel real that you're finally where you should be

6
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and that's in the great city of Los Angeles.

7
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it feels good. It's just I mean, I

8
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>was talking to Halio. It doesn't feel real yet. But

9
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>once we get the spring and it gets going hopefully,

10
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>even you know, as December starts to fade in a

11
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Christmas I feel a little more real. But you know,

12
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.039
<v Speaker 2>wearing the jersey, it's exciting, you know, looking at homes

13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 2>and all that, it's exciting.

14
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I think the house next to me is for sale.

15
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Would you like to invest.

16
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna make sure I live far from you, you know,

17
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 2>far so.

18
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Mika carpool I talked to Boris about it. It's all set.

19
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I'll make sure far away from you, Dave. But

20
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 2>we will get the Korean barbecue. You can bet on that.

21
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Love that, love that, and I love what you said

22
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>during the press conference. How it's investing in people and

23
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 1>people investing in you, and I know that means a lot.

24
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's everything. It's the only way for me to

25
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.920
<v Speaker 2>be as good as I want to be is to

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>have relationships that are really strong.

27
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it feels like people are starting to get

28
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 1>to know who you really are, right. I feel like

29
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I've told you this before. Your baseball, like you is

30
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 1>higher than a lot of people understand. Being able to

31
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>come to the Dodgers and take it to the next level.

32
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>How much was that attractive to you?

33
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I just it's all about creating moments

34
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.840
<v Speaker 2>for the fans, and you know, coming here with sold

35
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 2>out games all the time, watching the fans, it's something

36
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>you want to do. You want to just you want

37
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>to create moments. You want to be able to share

38
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 2>that with as many people as possible, especially because baseball

39
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>is all about entertainment, so and being around fans that

40
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>are fanatic, you know, they go crazy for the game

41
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 2>and it's a passion of mine. So for me to

42
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.519
<v Speaker 2>be able to put all that together, to come here

43
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>to pitch on the biggest stage, it's something that I've

44
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 2>been wanting to do for a long time. And people

45
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>really start to get to know me, you know, playing here.

46
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>One thing that the players on this team respect is

47
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>the wor work ethic, and you have that. I know,

48
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 1>Clayton Krushaw means a lot to you. What's it like

49
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>to finally be teammates with him and pick his brain

50
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and just be in the dugout together.

51
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be a dream come true. Yeah, no,

52
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait. I mean I was telling Andrew, I

53
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.439
<v Speaker 2>need my locker next to his. So, you know, he's

54
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 2>just done so many, you know, amazing things in his career.

55
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>So for me everybody to talk to him, pick his brain,

56
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>learn from all his experience. I'm really excited that just

57
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.879
<v Speaker 2>a player I can continue to grow and develop to

58
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 2>be is is so exciting. And to learn from a

59
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.439
<v Speaker 2>guy like that is I mean, you can't ask for more.

60
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, you became a proud father this year. The

61
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers won the World Series this year. Your birthdays tomorrow.

62
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>It feels like twenty twenty four was a pretty good

63
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 1>year for Blake Snell and a no hitter.

64
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, tomorrow is a good day to start

65
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>getting ready for the next season as a Dodger. You know,

66
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 2>finally official. So I've been working out, you know, free Asia,

67
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:19.639
<v Speaker 2>but now I'm a Dagar might be a little different.

68
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the birthday parties tomorrow.

69
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:25.599
<v Speaker 2>No, no, I.

70
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Was checking, like I didn't get the evite. I'm not

71
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 1>sure if it was.

72
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Seck your email. I never used one, so check yours, Blake.

73
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>This is awesome you being in Los Angeles being a Dodger.

74
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It's always been the perfect fit and I'm glad it

75
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>finally happened. So look forward to it. I'm sticking around

76
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>for one more year, maybe five with you.

77
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got five left, and then we'll see where

78
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>we go after that. Hopefully we get a couple more.

79
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>I like that.

80
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, we got a long ways to go, so

81
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>let's focus on these five year by year, all right?

82
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Love it. Austin Barnes is gonna be so jealousy, he means, Snell,

83
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 1>I'll end that clubhouse together. We'll send it back to you.
