Speaker 1: a fight today. Not today. You don't think me and
Speaker 1: Dylan gonna get into it, Fred, as we always do,
Speaker 1: I know, not today. Please, it's a day of celebration.
Speaker 1: Let's bring on Dylan Hernandez. Dylan, Welcome to the Afternoon Show.
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 1: Well, it's our pleasure all right. Now we know you're
Speaker 1: out at the stadium. All right, you want to talk
Speaker 1: about what happened at the stadium, we'll do that and
Speaker 1: then work backwards. What do you think?
Speaker 2: Yeah? It was fun.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I gotta say like for somebody that you know, coming
Speaker 2: from somebody in me that you know usually fights with everything,
Speaker 2: this is pretty special.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I think in a city like Hours that's so geographically vast,
Speaker 2: and you know, fragmented in different ways. It's kind of
Speaker 2: really cool, right to kind of see everybody come together
Speaker 2: in one place, you know, kind of behind one thing,
Speaker 2: you know, in this case the Dodgers, And uh yeah,
Speaker 2: it was just kind of a really fun atmosphere.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I guess if I have I you know what, I
Speaker 2: could find one complaint. The sound was a little too loud.
Speaker 2: You know, they could they could have tuned it down
Speaker 2: a little bit. But besides that, it was.
Speaker 1: A really fun day. Tuned did you down a little
Speaker 1: bit a little?
Speaker 2: I mean it was like loud. It was like you know,
Speaker 2: in the press box, you couldn't talk to your neighbor loud, right.
Speaker 2: I mean there were some you know, some of the
Speaker 2: funners brought there, like little kids there could not have
Speaker 2: been this could not have been good for their developments.
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, somebody suffered.
Speaker 2: Somebody hearing loss today. Somebody suffered hearing I love.
Speaker 1: You, man, This is the day.
Speaker 3: Ain't the day, Dylan? I love you? But the day
Speaker 3: ain't the day for all of that? Hey, jealous listen, man,
Speaker 3: for a guy, for a guy that that that is
Speaker 3: critical and and you you know, you do a lot
Speaker 3: of critical thinking, Dylan, and and and you know you
Speaker 3: do give I will say, you do get propped when
Speaker 3: props are deserved. And but you're you're critical of of
Speaker 3: of of our local teams and from time to time,
Speaker 3: and especially the Dodgers. What did you make first off
Speaker 3: them going all the way and winning it after they
Speaker 3: looked like.
Speaker 1: They were left for dead? And and I can't if
Speaker 1: I go back, I'm.
Speaker 3: Sure there was some some choice words you had there
Speaker 3: in the Padre series, them going all the way to
Speaker 3: win it, and then the job that Dave Roberts did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, and I guess you're gonna
Speaker 2: kind of combine those two things right in that. I
Speaker 2: really thought the turning point obviously was Game four that
Speaker 2: Division series against the Padres. Right, they're down two to one,
Speaker 2: you're thinking things over and they had to run a
Speaker 2: bullpen game and Robins ran it perfectly right, he could
Speaker 2: not right, And it was that was the beginning of
Speaker 2: that thirty three inning scoreless streak. It really just kind
Speaker 2: of turned everything for them, I think, And you know,
Speaker 2: obviously Roberts deserves like a lot of credits for that.
Speaker 3: And where were you, Dylan, real quick? Where were you?
Speaker 3: Where were you on that bullpen game when before that happened?
Speaker 1: Where? Where did you? Where did you land on that game?
Speaker 2: I thought they were dead. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: I thought it was over, you know, And I just
Speaker 2: thought again that the kind of like the lack of
Speaker 2: starting pitching was going to kind of bite them, right,
Speaker 2: and you know that even you know, I thought that
Speaker 2: even if they got past that game. You know, Yamamoto,
Speaker 2: keep in mind, got whacked in game two. You know,
Speaker 2: he was going to write or game one sorry, you know,
Speaker 2: and he was going to come back and pitch that
Speaker 2: fifth game, you know, so you know, if they got there,
Speaker 2: and I wasn't sure how that was going to go.
Speaker 2: I thought that even if they got past it, because
Speaker 2: of that over reliance from the bullpen, that at some
Speaker 2: point that the wheels were going to kind of fall off,
Speaker 2: right that how long? How many rounds can you do this?
Speaker 2: You know, if you go into a seven game series
Speaker 2: where they going to be able to last there and
Speaker 2: then into the World series, right, and you know, they
Speaker 2: they kind of did run out of gas almost there
Speaker 2: at the end there. You know, Walker Bueler obviously came
Speaker 2: in to save the day. And I really think, you know,
Speaker 2: and you know, speaking of that Bueler thing, I really
Speaker 2: think that the failures of the last couple of years
Speaker 2: have kind of there's a different resolve now with this team, right,
Speaker 2: you know, I think especially of a guy like Mookie Betts,
Speaker 2: right who you know, again, after game two, I think
Speaker 2: the first two games he did not have a hit,
Speaker 2: you know, so you know, and right, he didn't hit
Speaker 2: the two previous octobers. I was right there at his
Speaker 2: locker asking him like, hey, like is this like is
Speaker 2: this still a thing now?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: And you know, Mookie, now you got to keep in
Speaker 2: mind in that game, to be fair to him, he
Speaker 2: got robbed of a home run by Profar in the corner,
Speaker 2: if you remember, And you know what, he did not
Speaker 2: make any excuses about it, right, He's like, look, it
Speaker 2: wasn't a hit. It doesn't matter that it almost went out.
Speaker 2: It wasn't a hit. I'm not hitting. I have to
Speaker 2: do something. And I really do kind of think that,
Speaker 2: you know, after this team, after kind of hitting rock
Speaker 2: bottom the last couple of years, in a way, you know,
Speaker 2: they they kind of acknowledged. I think there was an
Speaker 2: acknowledgement that, like, you know, you can't run from this, right,
Speaker 2: and when these things happen, these situations come up, you
Speaker 2: need to do something, you need to make it happen.
Speaker 2: I think that's really kind of epitomize that. I think
Speaker 2: you learned. You know a lot of these guys did, right,
Speaker 2: Tommy Edmond. I mean you can kind of go down
Speaker 2: the list. You know, the fact that Otani when he
Speaker 2: came back in that first game after just looked, you know,
Speaker 2: partially just getting his shoulder. You know, he contributed to
Speaker 2: a couple of runs scoring right, he drew that four
Speaker 2: pitch walk at the very beginning of that game in
Speaker 2: Game three of the World Series, you know, and then
Speaker 2: right and then there was a home run right after
Speaker 2: by Freeman, so that was a run he helped move
Speaker 2: a guy over that wound up scoring later on a
Speaker 2: hit by Mets. You know. So those guys just kind
Speaker 2: of making things happen when they had to. And you
Speaker 2: know the way I think they won this, you know,
Speaker 2: this World Series, right especially you look at the Mets series,
Speaker 2: you look at the Yankees series. When those teams made mistakes,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers really kind of like exploited it, right. They
Speaker 2: smelled blood in the water and they went at it right,
Speaker 2: and whereas kind of in the past, and I'm thinking,
Speaker 2: you know, the one mistake that kind of pops into
Speaker 2: my mind is right there was that Mets series again,
Speaker 2: I think in twenty fifteen where Corey seeger forgot to
Speaker 2: cover third base, you know, where they had shifted over
Speaker 2: and stuff. And you know, it was usually the Dodgers
Speaker 2: kind of making these mistakes that would lead to them
Speaker 2: kind of underachieving, Whereas now I feel the Dodgers weren't
Speaker 2: you know, again you look up and down, you look
Speaker 2: around there. You know, outside of Mookie Bets, there really
Speaker 2: isn't a gold Glove caliber defender. Now that said, they
Speaker 2: all play, i think kind of up to their capabilities.
Speaker 2: They're not going to beat themselves, and that to me
Speaker 2: was kind of like a big difference here, especially against
Speaker 2: the Mets and against the Yankees, where you know, you
Speaker 2: saw the Yankees make it a couple of mistakes and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the Dodgers are down their throats.
Speaker 2: So there's there's definitely like a different steal here now.
Speaker 2: And I do think that this is going to kind
Speaker 2: of carry forward, right because I think, you know, oh,
Speaker 2: Tommy helped bring that Tommy Edmund helped bring that, you know,
Speaker 2: some of the new guys helped bring that. And I
Speaker 2: really think that there's there's a there's definitely a different
Speaker 2: feel around this team than than they had in the past.
Speaker 1: All Right, Dylan, So going forward? Uh, Taylor Hernandez? Do
Speaker 1: they sign him?
Speaker 2: I think they're going to wind up signing him because
Speaker 2: like he just kind of completely gave up his leverage, right,
Speaker 2: I Mean he's he's very open, I want to come back,
Speaker 2: you know, And so my guess is, oh, is that.
Speaker 1: Giving up his leverage? Though? How is that giving up?
Speaker 1: Is that because he says he wants to come back
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers but you want him?
Speaker 2: Oh they're going to right, But now I think the
Speaker 2: Dodgers kind of know that, right And And look, I
Speaker 2: don't mean this is like a like a bad way necessarily.
Speaker 2: I think what what you're able where you're going to
Speaker 2: have probably is he's I'm guessing someone somewhere out there,
Speaker 2: there's going to be a bigger contract for sure.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers have obviously a lot of other salary commitments.
Speaker 2: But now that they know, you know, in a way, okay,
Speaker 2: the other way to look at it is that you've
Speaker 2: kind of opened up like the place to start a
Speaker 2: dialogue right where, you know, Okay, I want to come back.
Speaker 2: I know you probably campaign me as much as like,
Speaker 2: you know, another team can. And my guess is that
Speaker 2: they're going to probably find a middle ground there. You know,
Speaker 2: probably when it's gets signed, it's probably gonna be viewed
Speaker 2: around the industry as being pretty team friendly. But you know, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, how many millions do you need?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: I kind of think back to when Jared Weaver signed
Speaker 2: his extension with the Angels, you know, And I don't
Speaker 2: think Scott Boris's agent was necessarily happy that he kind
Speaker 2: of you know, negotiated that on his own because he
Speaker 2: really wanted to stay there, right, And there are things
Speaker 2: that are kind of worth more than money, And my
Speaker 2: guess is that that's that's where that's going to kind
Speaker 2: of fall there.
Speaker 3: And and and so if there is a debate on
Speaker 3: whether the Dodgers go after Juan Soto uh and signing
Speaker 3: ta Oscar for considerably probably less, uh, you laying on
Speaker 3: the side of signing ta Oscar as opposed to signing
Speaker 3: a Jan.
Speaker 2: Sodo, Yeah, because I think Sodo a is not a
Speaker 2: good defender. You know, he also is better in right
Speaker 2: field than he is in left, So I guess, I mean, theoretically,
Speaker 2: I guess you could move Muki back into the infield.
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure why you would do that, do
Speaker 2: I think Mooki is really like again at an all
Speaker 2: time great, like literally all time top five, if not
Speaker 2: like maybe even the best defensive right field there, like
Speaker 2: ever right he's he's tremendous out there, you know, and
Speaker 2: then as Sodo ages, then you kind of have to
Speaker 2: start looking, Okay, where does he go?
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I've talked to some people around the game who don't
Speaker 2: you know, who think that, like, because of his footwork,
Speaker 2: he can't quite play first base, and then that leaves
Speaker 2: you with two d h's between Soto and Otani. So
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure there's like the fifth there really, right,
Speaker 2: I do think that they'll be kind of around it, obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, to see right if the guy's market creators
Speaker 2: and Dodgers are always very opportunistic in those types of situations.
Speaker 2: But I kind of think, you know, when you when
Speaker 2: you consider kind of the cost of it, Ernandez I
Speaker 2: actually think probably fits in better with with what they're doing.
Speaker 1: All right, what do you do with Walker Buehler?
Speaker 2: That is going to be that to me is like
Speaker 2: kind of a million dollar question, right, because I think
Speaker 2: they have a lot of guys coming back next year, right,
Speaker 2: and now you could argue, Okay, this is going to
Speaker 2: kind of leave them in the same place they were
Speaker 2: at the beginning of these playoffs, where you know, at
Speaker 2: very least like people were, you know, including myself obviously,
Speaker 2: you know, very uncertain about like okay, how much started pitching?
Speaker 2: Do you actually have left?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Otani?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Because Otani's coming back. You know, Glass now is going
Speaker 2: to come back. You're going to have Yamamoto. You know,
Speaker 2: you're going to have you know, Dustin May and Tony
Speaker 2: Gonsolin and Clayton Kershaw is coming back. I'm sure there
Speaker 2: are a couple of other guys I'm missing here, but
Speaker 2: they're pretty you know, they're gonna have some numbers there, right,
Speaker 2: and I think they're going to probably if if he's
Speaker 2: made available, Roki Sasaki, the twenty two year old kid
Speaker 2: from Japan who like throws out one hundred miles an hour. Right,
Speaker 2: the Dodgers were obvious. I mean, everything's going to be
Speaker 2: after him because he's going to be an amateur play.
Speaker 2: He's going to be classified as an amateur because he's
Speaker 2: under the age of twenty five, so he's basically going
Speaker 2: to play for free. So say you get him, uh now,
Speaker 2: it kind of puts you in a place where you
Speaker 2: start wondering, Okay, well, how much are we willing to
Speaker 2: commit to Walker Buehler when we have all these other arms?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: And I think you know what's interesting is before the
Speaker 2: playoffs even started, I was talking to a scout from
Speaker 2: another organization, and you know, I asked him like, well,
Speaker 2: what do you think of Buehler? And the guy goes, well,
Speaker 2: you know, take a shot at him, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: and I was kind of was asking, well, like how
Speaker 2: much And I'm kind of thinking, honestly, like one year
Speaker 2: eight million or something like that, and he was telling
Speaker 2: me one year fifteen to twenty million. And keep that's
Speaker 2: before the playoffs started, right, so think about how much
Speaker 2: Buehler has increased his value since then. And so to me,
Speaker 2: this isn't even a you know, cause I think, you know,
Speaker 2: in the press box today, some people are kind of
Speaker 2: asking me like, well, do you think the Dodgers make
Speaker 2: them the qualifying offer? They absolutely make them the qualifying offer. Right,
Speaker 2: it's that's one year, twenty one million. It's just that
Speaker 2: I think he's going to decline that. I think there's
Speaker 2: going to be a bigger deal out there. And then
Speaker 2: it kind of comes down to Buehler's priorities, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: like Hernandez, he has said, you know, his preference is
Speaker 2: to come back here.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It will be interesting though, right if one team is
Speaker 2: you know, say the Dodgers offer maybe two years. You
Speaker 2: know when say that, I mean, I really don't. I
Speaker 2: really think it's entirely possible that there was like a
Speaker 2: three four, maybe even a five year dealal out there
Speaker 2: for Bueler, you know, because I think the as bad
Speaker 2: as things were going through a lot of this year,
Speaker 2: I don't think there was any question about his health.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Whenever you talk to scouts, they were all saying, right now,
Speaker 2: it's all mental, it's all mental. And what we saw
Speaker 2: in the playoffs was obviously this guy that kind of
Speaker 2: figured out how to be the pitcher he has to
Speaker 2: be with the stuff that he has right now, you know,
Speaker 2: And I you know, and I go back to the
Speaker 2: Lindor strikeout with the bases loaded, in the NLCS, you know,
Speaker 2: full camp bas is loaded, he throws a guy a curveball,
Speaker 2: strikes him out, and just go back even a few
Speaker 2: months right when the Texas Rangers came here, there was
Speaker 2: a situation again Gate news, you know, fish ending or something,
Speaker 2: game on the line, two guys on base, Corey Seeger
Speaker 2: at the plate, you know, and Bueler kind of did
Speaker 2: the thing he did, you know, three four years ago,
Speaker 2: which has kind of blow fastball by him. Cory Seger
Speaker 2: sent that into the stand. And so to me, the
Speaker 2: difference between those two pitches right those two at bat
Speaker 2: says really a lot about where locker viewers right now,
Speaker 2: right he you know, the strikeout of Dugal to end
Speaker 2: the game, again, that's a curveball. So this is a
Speaker 2: guy that's really kind of learned to pitch with the
Speaker 2: arsenal that he has right now. You know, obviously you
Speaker 2: don't you don't question the guy's heart. I never you know,
Speaker 2: I never questioned that part of it, you know. So
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be demand out there and
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers are going to kind of have to
Speaker 2: make that's going to be a tough caller it, right,
Speaker 2: that's probably their toughest decision of this winter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, And sometimes you can't measure a guy's
Speaker 3: heart and where he's coming back from and what a
Speaker 3: situation like closing out the World Series does for a
Speaker 3: guy going forward. Okay, Dave Roberts, he is he put
Speaker 3: the rest all the questions about, you know, whether he's
Speaker 3: the guy or not? And does he get the long
Speaker 3: term deal to be the manager of the Dodgers for
Speaker 3: the foreseeable feature.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny, right, I mean, he's been knocked out
Speaker 2: of that Padres thing, now, I you you guys, we've
Speaker 2: had many conversations about this. You know, I'm a Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts guy. I wouldn't have fired him, but there was
Speaker 2: talk right that if he had lost, right, theyve been
Speaker 2: knocked out by the Padres, that that could have been it. Well,
Speaker 2: now he's he's in line for the Hall of Fame now, right,
Speaker 2: I mean he's got two World Series. He will get
Speaker 2: that extension.
Speaker 1: Uh right.
Speaker 2: And by the time you know, you right, you know
Speaker 2: you you're managing the Dodgers. You're gonna win nighty to
Speaker 2: one hundred games a year. You do that for the
Speaker 2: next five years, he's gonna have a nice win total.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not just you know, their guy now,
Speaker 2: he's a Hall of Fame guy now. And so you know,
Speaker 2: you talk about guys whose lives really kind of changed
Speaker 2: in this thing. You know, obviously Walker dealers up there.
Speaker 2: I would even say Freddie Freeman's life has changed in
Speaker 2: a way that he probably doesn't realize yet. But Dave
Speaker 2: Roberts' life has definitely changed. And and you know what,
Speaker 2: you see it too when when he addresses the crowd now, right,
Speaker 2: I mean I think like last year, remember he was
Speaker 2: making pitching changes, the crowd of the home crowd was
Speaker 2: booing him, you know, now right they close out the
Speaker 2: end off CS. You know, he goes out there and
Speaker 2: and you know they're all right, you know, everybody's cheering
Speaker 2: him now, you know, the fans and the fact the
Speaker 2: way the fans are reacting to him, reacted to him
Speaker 2: has completely changed. Yeah, he's going to manage here now
Speaker 2: as long as he wants. You know, I think he's
Speaker 2: always kind of wanted to be you know, kind of
Speaker 2: the dis Generation's Tomula Sorda, and he's definitely going to
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to do that, all right.
Speaker 1: Dylan as always we appreciate it. Thank you for the.
Speaker 2: Time, No, thank you guys for me on.
Speaker 1: All right, there goes our good friend, uh, Dylan Hernandez
Speaker 1: at the times. And let's face it, you might say
Speaker 1: he's critical. All this might suggest he's very fair. You know,
Speaker 1: he's he's one way or the other. And he calls
Speaker 1: him the way he sees him.
Speaker 3: I think the walk he doesn't waiver, he's not going
Speaker 3: to straddle defense. That's that's Dylan, and that's what we
Speaker 3: love about him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and look the two questions, all right, Hernandez
Speaker 1: and Walker bueller, what do you do? Right? What do
Speaker 1: you do? What do you do? I mean, what do
Speaker 1: you do? Freddie?
Speaker 3: What do you you got a first lesson? Let's take
Speaker 3: ta Oscar. I mean, he's gonna probably he's gonna probably
Speaker 3: warrant some some attractions from some other teams to go
Speaker 3: sign him to a long term deal with some good
Speaker 3: money behind it. All right, you know what, Rodney, he's
Speaker 3: made a sense to wait, wait, wait, yeah, on the
Speaker 3: other side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's just do this on the other side, because
Speaker 1: we've got to get into it. Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1: Let's do it. Before Dylan spoke, I thought I'd do
Speaker 1: one thing. Now after hearing Dylan, I might do another. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: let's get to it. Oh yeah, oh yeah, what a
Speaker 1: great day. What a great day.
Speaker 3: Great a great day, spending it with you in the
Speaker 3: afternoons as you drive home, as you drive from Dodger

Speaker 1: Crisis are not tomorrow's. That's how G money rolls, Rodney.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, baby, that's it.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about t Oscar and Walker Bueler when we
Speaker 1: get back. Let's do it. Oh yeah, what a celebration day.
Speaker 3: You know they were playing at the parade and the
Speaker 3: event at Dodger Stadium back how about uh, how about
Speaker 3: so hey speaking in English? That banking the Dodger fans.
Speaker 3: That was great, right, Yeah, top of the hours, we
Speaker 3: can speak English, right. You know what we're going to
Speaker 3: do at the top of the hour, because we haven't
Speaker 3: done it for everybody that did not have an opportunity
Speaker 3: to hear it today or if you'd like to relive it,
Speaker 3: We're gonna play highlights, play highlights from what happened on
Speaker 3: stage when we come back at the top of the hour.
Speaker 3: So that'll be cool looking forward to that.
Speaker 1: Okay. You asked the question to Oscar Hernandez Walker Buehler
Speaker 1: and wondered what I would do if I were the
Speaker 1: Dodgers before we talked to Dylan Hernandez, I would have said,
Speaker 1: sign them both, and let's not even have another conversation.
Speaker 1: That's done in my mind, that's done to the Oscar
Speaker 1: has said he is indicated he wants to really be here.
Speaker 1: So Dodgers might think they can get a little hometown discount,
Speaker 1: but you know, you're still gonna have to pay the
Speaker 1: guy twenty five million dollars a year. So it comes
Speaker 1: down to how many years you're gonna have to pay
Speaker 1: him for. You have to pay him for four years,
Speaker 1: I'm in.
Speaker 3: How old do we know how old is Taioscar Off
Speaker 3: the top of our head, we know.
Speaker 1: He's thirty two, thirty two, thirty thirty two, thirty two. Okay,
Speaker 1: so give him four years, three year deal, three or
Speaker 1: four year deal, right, we can do that. Yeah, that's done, Walker,
Speaker 1: buell Or, I'm saying, resign him. But then when you
Speaker 1: heard Dylan Hernandez and you really started to think about
Speaker 1: the pitching situation. To me, it comes down to this,
Speaker 1: and I want him to stay. But how many years?
Speaker 1: How many years? And how old is Walker? Now we're
Speaker 1: checking it right now. He's got to be thirty, right,
Speaker 1: he's got to be thirty. Yeah, so right around there,
Speaker 1: I think if he bites it two years, would you
Speaker 1: give it to him at twenty five year? It's not
Speaker 1: my money. I'm just throwing money around like it's water here,
Speaker 1: but your money. Yeah, like it's my money, but you
Speaker 1: know it's not so I can toss all the money
Speaker 1: around here. Would you give him two years? I would?
Speaker 1: But two years at what though? Two years at what?
Speaker 1: Two years at top of the market, two years, two
Speaker 1: years at what whatever the market would be for two
Speaker 1: years at that point, so you know, don't talk about
Speaker 1: another Japanese pitcher, young kid coming out that they might
Speaker 1: have interest in. I don't know what he he goes.
Speaker 1: Four comes down to how many years you want to
Speaker 1: sign the picture for. I think the thing I learned
Speaker 1: through this, and you have Yamamoto for the next twenty
Speaker 1: seven years. No more long term deals for pictures. The
Speaker 1: tops on you, I'd say tops, I'd say three two three,
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. No, I think.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I think for a picture. Look,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do a picture for ten years. No, but
Speaker 3: but I think you know, a six year deal, seven
Speaker 3: year deal for a picture, you do it a young pitcher,
Speaker 3: a pitcher in his prime. Absolutely, I do that.
Speaker 1: Well, they did it for Yamoto, Yeah that they did
Speaker 1: it for Yamamoto, and I think that'll probably be the
Speaker 1: last one of those. What a glass Now sign? He
Speaker 1: signed like a six year deal, didn't he? Or what
Speaker 1: did he did? Three year? Five years deal? Glass Now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think it was five?
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, glass Now signed for five.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah. Cole signed five.
Speaker 5: I believe that was for eight or nine.
Speaker 1: I think it was nine, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't do the ten twelve year deal for a picture,
Speaker 3: no more. But I definitely would like in that six
Speaker 3: have an eight range. I'm okay with that, would you really?
Speaker 3: I don't think I did. Yeah, I don't think I
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. It depends what it is like.
Speaker 5: You can't give that the beaut of the guy's had
Speaker 5: two Tommy John surgeries. That's not a smart enough Yeah.
Speaker 5: He just turned thirty last month, by.
Speaker 1: The way, Okay, so give him three years. The problem
Speaker 1: is what if he can make you know, somebody gives
Speaker 1: him a five year deal. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: do that, knowing you okay, all right, would you give
Speaker 1: Blake Snell a five year deal? No? I wouldn't, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know you love him, you want to marry him.
Speaker 1: You love him, now, stop it, stop it stop. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I did that.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you're a guy like if your deals,
Speaker 5: you are marrying him in a sense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you like him a lot. No, I
Speaker 1: would know. But where where where does Walker line? Is
Speaker 1: he thirty? He is exactly thirty three years? Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, I I could commit five years to him, which
Speaker 3: I'd commit five years to Walker Buler absolutely. First of all,
Speaker 3: he gave you what he gave you already so there's
Speaker 3: something there. There's something there, and then you got to figure, okay,
Speaker 3: he can give me. You know, he's had the two
Speaker 3: Tommy Johns. That's why you can't give him longer than five.
Speaker 3: But I do a five year deal with Walker Buler, Absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 3: I would, you know, as long as he's not gonna
Speaker 3: break the bank, which I don't think anybody else out
Speaker 3: there is gonna go crazy on him as much as
Speaker 3: the Dodgers. But I'd be I'd be reasonable and go
Speaker 3: fair with him and go get him and lock him
Speaker 3: up for five years given, because you know, when he's
Speaker 3: when he's good, there's not many people can touch him.
Speaker 3: And he's talented and got to compete, as Ned like
Speaker 3: to say, and he rolled with you, he got you there,
Speaker 3: and he wanted the ball. So I'm going for Walker, Butley,
Speaker 3: he's one of ours. He's one of ours, all right.
Speaker 1: When we come back, as we continue on this afternoon,
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you hear what happened on stage if
Speaker 1: you if you didn't have an opportunity to hear it.
Speaker 1: Kevin has put it together. It's great. And then later
Speaker 1: in the hour, Net Colletti will join the show
