Excellent. Updat onZyhir Hope?
In our generation, that is...🎉
Both you Casey and Austin need to remember Clayton Kershaw is the best dodger pitcher of all time when he does retire
💯 We spoke in depth to that. Possibly my/our favorite Dodger of all time
Clayton Kershaw needs to get his 3000 strikeout to go into the Hall of Fame there's no question let him retire with his destiny
💯
I’m SO PUMPED for this interview. I’m a huge Longhorns fan. I loved watching DC at Texas, I’m so glad he’s in the Dodgers system. I’m pulling for him so hard.
Thanks for the show and some much needed distraction from these catastrophic fires and toxic air quality here in So Cal. I hope they keep Banda and trade Brasier
Hope you're safe, prayers your way!
Great content as always Dodgers need to look to move some 40 man talent for guys drafted in last 2 years. Especially if we can get Sasaki and Scott.
Looks that way if they want to keep adding. It's a real crunch right now
Thanks fellas from Thailand. Saw a sad Gavin on an interview w mlb. He kept a brave face but …. HE said he “ will play anywhere @ the Reds need. Meaning HE at least thinks he’s versatile…. Sorry to see him go.
Trade situations are always interesting for these guys. On one hand, one club wants you, so that's cool, but, then, on the other hand, another club is getting rid of you, so that sucks. I'm sure for Gavin, that, combined with just the uncertainty and constant doubting and negativity he's gotten from Dodgers fans has taken its toll. He'll recharge, and when he gets settled, I think he'll be excited for this new chapter.
watched the playback bc I couldn’t make it in time. it was in the wee hours in the morning in europe haha. anyway u guys like to talk about math and the guys with options on the 40-man roster. I have to ask … for the inactive roster (guys who are on the 40 but not the 26), it also counts guys who are on the short-term IL, no ? at least when the reg season starts the 10-day IL (15 for pitchers) becomes an option right I believe.
Yes, the Dodgers are the master at using 10-15 day IL "Manipulation", combined with the up/down train to create what has been a "quasi" 6-man rotation for a while now. For the Dodgers to maneuver through the injuries of the past they've needed both, and in a way that it's just been incorporated into the roster plans.
"Yamamoto came over and had some success" 😂😂😂😂 Some success. Ok.
What is this in reference to?
@dodgersdaily LOL at the beginning when he was taking about Roki. He said Yamamoto had some success but he said it so casually. Dude was lights out against the best AL team and at the most critical time.
@@joeface03 Yes, in reference to the "plug and play" expectations from Day 1, with either no or a limited adjustment period. Through his first 5 starts, Yamamoto had given up 11 runs in 21 innings, had a great April, good May, and great June, then got hurt. So the statement Austin was making on that situation is 100% accurate, especially considering the context he was speaking to.
@dodgersdaily Dude didn't have a loss in the playoffs and was electric in the Wirld Series. That's objectively not "SOME success", genius. So no. He wasn't correct. Nice try, casual.
Appreciate the fact that you stopped by, gonna say though, this isn't the way we communicate here. Love talking baseball, not in this way though. Hope you keep coming back and we have good productive and fun Dodger Talk but it won't be in the form of this type of typical Social Media type tone. Difference of opinion and respect for those differences in opinion is at the top of the list here at Dodgers Daily, and that will not change or be compromised. Thanks again for checking out the video, I really appreciate it, and I hope you keep coming back. The original point still stands and, as explained per the context that was being used, is still correct.
Regarding Kershaw, he's going to do a one year deal, so I'm ok with hanging on one year too long than hanging it up one year too early. At worst case scenario he moves to the bullpen. And if he gets injured he'll ride the IL and not take up a roster spot. The good thing is the Dodgers are not counting on him to be an important part of this team. If he becomes that its just a bonus. Its ok to take this year by year.
100%...I think most, if not all, Dodgers fans are good with him figuring out his own timeline, because he has meant so much to this organization.
Hi guys great show. 1st the only person who knows where Sasaki is going is Sasaki and according to agent HE won't know till around the 20th. The Dodgers roster, lets start with the pitching, assumptions Kershaw and Sasaki will sign with Kershaw and Ohtani not pitching till mid May this puts Kershaw on the 60 day DL after he signs. Starter locks Yamamoto, Snell, Glasnow Sasaki with Possibly May if not in the Pen and Gonsolin this will be the up down spot in rotation when needed ( Till Kershaw is able to take the spot full time)that's 6 ( note no move will be needed when Ohtani starts pitching as he already on 26 man roster as DH) with Kopech Treinen Phillips Banda Vesia and Braiser the CURRENT locks with probably Grove as the 7th spot which will also serve as the up down spot till Ohtani starts pitching then Dodgers will actually be able to add a 8th reliever Possibly May so again no move would be needed. Position players The whole Key to this is who is playing in CENTER, the Dodgers are very non committal on this and can Kim hit enough to play 2nd My Guess he starts at AAA so with that we have Ohtani Betts Freeman Teoscar Muncy Smith Conforto and Edmans( I have him at 2nd) as locks that's 8 guys on the Bench we have Barnes Rojas the Decisions will be who plays CENTER Outman or Pages or both( I have both as gives thump to the bench ). with the last spot between Taylor and Kim and Kim has options. I did not make assumptions of adding Kiki due to he is horrible in season and Dodgers seem to be trimming the Fat on the Roster( where they can) and did not assume Tanner Scott Either not only not worth 20 million per year but with Dodgers CBT situation it's 42 million per season. Let me know what you think? and of course this is only with no further trades!
Agree about Sasaki and great stuff as always Helen, you rock. Always enjoy reading your comments. If Kershaw and Sasaki sign here are the pitcher locks to be on the 26 man Kershaw, Sasaki, Banda, Brasier, Glasnow, Gonsolin, Kopech, May, Phillips, Snell, Treinen, Vesia, Yamamoto, Ohtani That's all 14 spots, so to add someone like Tanner Scott one of these guys would have to be removed at some point. That leaves no room for the up/down train once Kersh and Othani start back. So, if the Dodgers want Kershaw, Scott, and Sasaki they need to remove 2 pitchers currently on the 26-man roster that doesn't have options. If they don't get Scott they still need to remove 1 for the up/down spot. It's a crazy competitive situation and a great problem to have.
@@dodgersdaily But also be reminded Gonsolin( will be on an innings limit most likely) and Vesia have options to open spots if needed and I don't think they sign Scott with all the pitching they have at a way less price tag. The pen will most likely need 2 guys who can go multiple innings to help with the load till starters build up to hopefully 6 innings on average. With that I also think only Snell and Yamamoto can toss 150 innings so a lot of pitchers will be needed. So maybe a trade is coming maybe involving Braiser and or Banda to clear space. as you know the system has a few good lefties to take Banda's spot. Have a great day
This is a fantastic episode. Thank you, Casey and Austin! Yes, we currently have more pitchers than the maximum allowed on the 26-man roster. As we all know, injuries are inevitable, and there will likely be frequent movements of players between the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Our current roster (including Kershaw, Sasaki, Scott, and Kiké) is so versatile that it can accommodate multiple injuries to both pitchers and position players. Hopefully, enough starting and relief pitchers will remain healthy by the start of the 2025 postseason. If, by some miracle, everyone stays healthy, I would gladly welcome the challenge of deciding who should make the postseason roster!
100% If they get Scott and Sasaki, there will be some interesting decisions for the club to make the math work. Especially when Kershaw gets back. And, also especially if they have any plans of using the guys like Miller, Knack, Casparius, Wrobo, etc...
Shame on ANY Dodgers fan who doesn’t want Clayton Kershaw back
I think we all do Jason, when everything, all parts of the equation, are put together. He's a legend, and someone who is, and will forever be on a pedastal. The only question becomes "Father Time". It slows down for no one. I think he'll make the right decision in those terms.
@ I still think when healthy he is our best regular season pitcher. The PS has been a different story. But I want to see him get at least another 2 or 3 PS starts
Good discussion tonight. The 40 man and 26 man roster crunch combined with the option years thinning on Pages and Outman really makes me think that the Dodgers need to get real and DFA Chris Taylor. The probability that he a) rebounds to the point where his contract could be traded or b) makes an impact on the team is exceedingly low in my view. The odds of either or both James Outman and Andy Pages on the same criteria are much higher. If Outman can play at a solid 2.0 WAR level with good defense, speed, power and yes some strikeouts he will have lots of value as a CF with 4+ years of control. I think James is capable of doing much more and repeating his 4.0 WAR season but I also think the odds of him playing at an above average ML level are not that low. Likewise, I think the likelihood is that Pages is better in 2025 than he was in '24. Pages had a wRC+ of 100 last year. I'll take the over in 2025. CT3 has had a wRC+ under 100 in two of the last 3 seasons with K rates in excess of 30%. The club is willing to bury the 2024 ROY runner up after 100 PAs with admittedly crappy results but also give Taylor 250 PAs. I'm sorry but the priorities are wrong and for as many excellent and smart decisions the Dodgers make this is part of their blindspot of not moving on from mid-tier veterans. Rant over. Thanks again for a great show.
10000000000%...Spot on! At the very least, getting Outman back to league average helps the Dodgers both on the field and by increasing his value. That's why I like to go through these types of "in the weeds" discussions on the 40 and 26 crunch, because that's the only way to show how guys like him are needed for flexibility. Well done Jay, and totally agree about the blindspot. If a veteran doesn't perform, so be it, but if it's a rookie, then, for some reason it becomes this "untrustable" situation. It's a byproduct of being in "win now" mode, which is good, but I think you can have at least a little of both.
@@JayO-wx3ej I would like to see Outman get another shot. Pages will be better if he gets playing time, if it’s once or twice a week I would expect regression instead of progression for him.
Thanks Casey & Austin. Couldn’t join live, family time… I followed along on Fangraphs, so many great problems to have. At least we will know about Sasaki by Month’s end. I wonder if the Dodgers don’t get Sasaki and Flaherty considered a short term deal would the Dodgers go that route? I prefer to use Miller and give him another shot. It does seem like the last two years we’ve had pitchers not be ready for a few weeks at the start of the season other than The TJ guys. Stock up, we always seem to need them. Thanks again, hoping for Tanner Scott & Sasaki soon!
Great stream Casey and Austin, always bringing something new to the Dodgers conversation. Love hearing both your perspective to all things Blue.
You rock! Glad you like it.
Thanks Casey and Austin
Always appreciated Craig!
Casey that complete BS about the Lux situation, the Dodgers had no patience with him? He was a starter for 3 years, enough of that. He's a bust, one of the biggest bust ever, couldn't fill Corey's shoes.
This comment,, and all the others of similar tone over the years is why I'm so excited for Gavin Lux and his new opportunity he is going to get. I'm very thankful not to have to read these types of comments anymore.
@@dodgersdailyyou missed the point, you said the dodgers fan weren't patient with him? It's been 3 years!!! I hope he does well in Cincinnati, he won't be missed.
Not by you, that's your right.
Hi Casey glad you feeling better. I think Dodgers signed Kim to be a replacement for Taylor or Kiki. Gomes and Roberts were non committal about who playing Center field I think this means they would like Edmans at 2nd( as he won a gold glove their with St. Louis) and either Outman, Pages Platoon or a trade to cover center. I also think that the draft pick the obtained in the Lux trade will be traded to someone else to get what they want Center fielder or Reliever. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks Helen, these are incredible thoughts, enjoyed reading them very much What the Dodgers have done, and just did with the Lux trade, is create quite a bit of flexibility. Lux was tied to 1 position, 2nd base, and that wasn't changing. Kim, Edman, Mookie, Rojas, Taylor, then, if they get Kike, all get play several positions The Dodgers love that flexibility, now they can look at several different options and settle on the best one.
Another great show !!! Thank you Casey.
You rock, thanks for all the support
I applaud your effort to speak Spanish 👏 And your English ain't bad either ! lol #GoDodgers
Bwahahahaha....Can't take yourself too seriously, lol
Thank you Casey for your great analysis and breakdown of the return on the Lux trade and you reading in 'Spanish' really made my day : )
Haha...Can't take yourself too seriously. I butchered pretty good. Thanks for the great words, can't wait for Spring Training.
@@dodgersdaily True true. Thanks for all your great Dodgers content and for your passion for this ball club. The Dodgers are a fascinating organization
Dodgers Daily w Casey is the best. Insight and backgrounds are awesome.
You rock Samuel, can't tell you how much I appreciate those awesome words.
Hey Casey thanks for doing the show after working games last night hopefully you’re not dragging today at work😊. I’m going to miss Lux but it’s good for him even though he may not think so. A question, how much more International Pool money do the Dodgers have now for Sasaki than they had before the trade? Thanks.
Teams with a Competitive Balance Round A Pick are given $5.4 Million instead of the minimum of $4.75 Million, so I assume that's how much the Dodgers are getting with this pick. Of course, that's dependent on all the finer details we don't know all of, but, that's the number that will be negotiated.
@ Thanks Casey. One thing most people aren’t mentioning about Sasaki is that the Dodgers have been monitoring him and pursuing him for years building an arms length relationship with him, that really means something to him. The Dodgers did the same thing with Ohtani, if the NL had the DH then I think it’s the Dodgers not the Angels. The West coast means something too for Japanese players.
The Mets are going to be the Dodgers closest rival.
You're probably right Mike
Who will the Dodgers cut, when the Dodgers add Roki Sasaki?
This move moved the 40-man down to 39, so no one, at this point, would have to be removed to add Sasaki.
All the Lux, and Taylor haters one down, and 1 remains. Which Dodgers player will hate on next
I can think of two other players that could have been cleared of the 40 man roster. Taylor and Barnes. I hate this move. Gavin Lux is way more valuable. Watch Lux become an All-Star infielder for the Reds.
Scott wants 4/80
Which is why I wanted Devin Williams. Cheaper for this year, no long terms commitment for a bullpen piece, and it would have combined this deal with Lux.
@@dodgersdailyyeah Williams would of been great for lux but that’s way gone. He’s nasty. Scott is trying to pull of a hader. I don’t think they will go that much especially with all the guys coming back. Roki going to be here soon with all that drama in San Diego
Resigning blake was the reliever if not Scott and throw in may with his nasty stuff
Great move.
Agreed
i know this outs me as an old fart but i can remember dodgers having another top prospect shortstop who struggled with the weight of expectations but went on to a rather terrific career as 2B elsewhere: jose offerman. i don't see any reason lux cannot do that. but then i also don't see how you can not root for lux. he seems like such a nice kid who tries so darn hard. he also echoed what you said about being mid-recovery to start the season when he chatted with mookie after the parade. the old adage for ACL has always been that you *can* come back and play at 12 months but you really aren't BACK until 18. this has always been true with football and basketball as well. hell, acuna was not the same his first season back. lux is going to do succeed. i believe in that kid. i legit do not understand why the rockies don't just grab kike. if kike gets 500 ABs in coors, he's putting up 30+ homeruns (especially with his vision supposedly fixed). the ball *sounds* different coming off his bat and that would play insanely well in that park.
Thanks Casey
Loved Lux, but him being traded is good news for Alex Freeland. Lux has a career .709 OPS in 1300 AB's. That is a low floor for AF to meet offensively with average to plus defense at SS. He surged offensively at AAA over the last couple weeks of the season and should be ready for a MLB opportunity by mid-season.
Bad trade. Lux has alot of upside
Opens up the door better for Scott, Sasaki or anyone else the Dodgers deem worth rostering. Plus it gives them extra International Bonus Pool money on top of the roster flexibility. To me it was Chess
I wanted Lux traded if Arenado would come to LA and Muncy would move to 2B but for what we got and what’s worse, to be replaced by Kim??? Please!!! I don’t like this trade but hey that’s just my opinion. Casey, well neither one of us was right… Arenado did not come to LA but Lux is not our everyday 2B that you thought he would be. 🤷🏻♀️
I've been outspoken from basically day 1 of the off season that the Dodgers would and should trade Lux, for several reasons Ive explained on multiple shows. And that, the Mookie to SS thing was, at least partly, to increase the trade value of Lux. My fear for him was that the Dodgers made him a bench player or depth piece, so I've been on the " Trade Lux Train & Move Mookie to 2B" the entire off season. This was a great deal and a win/win for both sides.
Still hurts. It starts to feel corporate. You spend years following these guys through the system and you watch them fail and succeed elsewhere. But, all the feelings aside, I want Gavin to succeed in a big way and will stand for him everytime he comes home. 😂
100%...I've had to come to grips with that, and it's not hard, because I root for the individual. So, whether they're with us or not, seeing them get their best shot at the MLB is what I enjoy seeing the most. The situations that frustrate me are the Hunter Feduccia situations, where there's no good plan to give him a chance to maximize his own personal window to the MLB.
Coach I believe Paiges has the ability to hit 30 homers but if they platoon him I believe it will hindered him. Lux may be competing with Matt McClain a really good player unless he goes to third. I feel bad for Lux and this isn't good for Friedland who I feel can be a great shortstop. Anyway coach your happy so I hope everything will turn out.
Matt McClain was moved to CF in the AFL, so Lux has a runway at 2B in CIN.
Pages 100% has the ability to hit 30 HRs. I just wonder if he'll ever be given the runway it would take to do that in this "win-now" window for the Dodgers
This bench is weak. Rojas can't be expected to repeat last year. Kim has no power and it will take time to accumulate. Taylor looks washed up and Barnes despite a good last year is no one to depend on. Maybe this is a roster move. The good young players will never get a chance so why will more prospects be exciting. Lux was good the second half. The other Kim was better. Not happy about this coach
Agreed!
Let’s not forget the strikeout kings, Outman and CT3. - They should have been traded before Lux.
Understood, but it puts the roster at 39, which opens the door wide open for someone like Tanner Scott. And then, it gives the Dodgers extra International Bonus Pool money, and that opens the door wider for Sasaki. So, think of it in terms of being Lux for Scott and Sasaki, plus a Top 40 pick and a guy that have been scouting for 5+ years. That, in essence, is what happened.
Thank you for the insights. I feel much better about the trade for both the Dodgers and Lux.
Awesome, appreciate your great support
I think a great positive for Lux is he's going to be playing up the middle with Elly De La Cruz who is my favorite player in baseball. He has an opportunity to dazzle with Elly! Good luck Luxy.
Great Point, totally agree
I'm very sad about losing Lux. Gavin still has a lot of upside.
💯 I think this is great for both sides though
Thank you, Casey, for this fantastic breakdown. A roster spot is a rare commodity for the Dodgers, and hopefully, this trade signals that Scott will be signed at a reasonable price within the next 48 hours. Thank you, Lux, for all the incredible years-wishing him the best of luck and continued success in Cincinnati. I believe the Dodgers are looking to build a highly versatile 26-man and 40-man roster capable of withstanding injuries at any position. Last year’s experience has undoubtedly taught the Dodgers to prioritize versatility above all else.
This is 💯 spot on William
Very curious about roster changes with Lux going to the Reds. Who will cover 2nd? Are we looking at a CF, SS, 2B super platoon? I think Kim will be trial and error for the first season. This opens a roster spot...for sasaki or a bullpen arm. Kersh and kike are waiting on 60 IL openings...BUT what happens at the end of that 60 day period. Unless there's 2 injuries to cycle through they'll have to make a cut. *cough* (Taylor)
It’s pronounced Heh-sung, not Hey-sung
u see this move affecting kike re-signing ?
I will be talking about this on the show today (starting at around 2:15 pacific), but I think Kike's re-signing could depend on what they do with CT3. If he stays, Kike would have to either take Lux's spot or the Pages/Kim/Outman spot. It's very crowded. However, there is no doubt what he can do in clutch moments, so I expect them to try to find a way to bring him back.
Kim will learn that in this team, a walk is as good as a base hit in the bottom of the order
Agreed, he'll definitely learn the value of a walk.
Thanks Casey
I like lux b`etter than anyone you can name on the roster to play 2b. He is a terrific hitter when healthy and an excellent defender
He is very talented and had a great 2nd half as he got more and more healthy. Excited to see him continue to made positive strides forward.
