      And Guggenheim for opening up the wallet and allowing Andrew Friedman and the front office to do their thing and put a great team together every year. It's awesome to see it as a fan of the team.

    4:26 This is why we love Andrew Friedman and this ownership group. We thank you! I hope they understand how much it means to consider us the fans and the love we have for this team. By being willing to put out a winning product for us to enjoy. This creates a matching synergy between fans, ownership, and the players.

    There's a reason the Dodgers are good every single year, and yes, money is a big factor, but it all starts with quality people at the top, like our ownership and Andrew. It is not easy to win at the length the Dodgers have... I don't care how much money you have! I have full confidence in anything Andrew does! We are so lucky to have him and the ownership!

      Only if it's a 1/1 or 2/1 deal. But if Hernandez wants a 3 or 3/1 deal, I think Friedman might take the comp pick.

      This front office knows what they’re doing, Fans need to just shut up and CHEER! and let them do their jobs, They’ve earned that and if Teo wants too much, IDC how much he cries I cheer for the front of the jerseys not the BACKS

    The audacity of the question about "ruining baseball" by spending ownership's money on the betterment of the team. Did anyone ask Jerry Jones about ruining football? Having the most well know team but the performance of that team for fans stinks like garbage. In today's competitive sport, the one willing to spend on the right people wins. Every sport is like that. Would you race in the F1 series with a rally car?

    I love these answers. It's not "trust us, we're trying." Or making any sort of excuses. He says it. The fans put pressure on the team to win and now. The players expect to win and now. And the owners expect to win and now. And so that front office feels that pressure. They've promised owners, fans, and players that they will win. And they're proving that commitment everyday. Best front office in the league. And a role model of how to be a professional.

    I hope they continue to be aggressive, because the infield needs upgrading. They need more contact over power hitters who can play defense and run the bases. Kim and Hoerner would be ideal and would keep Betts in RF. Fortifying the bullpen with sugano and Romano for me, would be the play and a lefty corner OF to platoon with pages, like winker or Yoshida. My dream, however unlikely, would be to replace Muncy at third with someone like Royce Lewis. And then cross your fingers with sasaki. It sounds like a lot of changes, but rival teams are going to level up plus, they will treat every series like the playoffs. So, reloading and not just tweaking the lineup would be the reasonable move.

      Kim would be ideal, completely agree. I was looking at the stats of the other Kim (Hy-Seong) who's beeing posted from KBP and are really appealing, and he can also play in LF. One of my high hopes would be K. Tucker (the only astro I could stomach) but that's a long shot....maybe if they keep Bregman...

    If you were moving to an area with much higher income taxes, why would you not want deferrals? Snell will pay no state income tax on his $52 million signing bonus, because he lives in Washington state, which has no personal income tax, and then, assuming he remains in Washington when the contract ends, there will be no state income tax on all of the deferred payments. For context, the top tax rate in California is nearly 15%. All the chatter about deferrals is, as Friedman said, a lazy narrative.

    Bring Soto home Friedman! We will deal with 2040 when it gets here. Take advantage of these stars while they are still in their prime. Our outfield right now does not look good. Taylor, Outman, Pages. Soto is 400 times better than Teoscar. Clear upgrade. Let’s become a dynasty, leave sentiment out the window. Outfield is our only hole on the roster so we can definitely splurge for Soto. Plus we getting Roki for league minimum soon. More incentive to give Soto what he wants

    • @rayf5228

    • @Rase23
      @Rase23 13 годин тому +1

      would rather have Teoscar for a fraction of the price and have someone in the dugout who knows how to hype up the team and make it a good team chemistry.

    • @hepatitiscyalater7269
      @hepatitiscyalater7269 12 годин тому +1

      @@Rase23Teoscar is good and I would like a reunion if they can’t get Soto but Soto is clearly a better player. Even on defense Soto statistically is better. If a player like Soto wants to be a dodger you have no other choice but to sign him. Even if it means a fan favorite and good player like Teoscar most likely won’t be back. Not saying I wouldn’t want Teo back. I only prefer Soto over him. We really only need outfielders right now. So the argument about “spreading the money” is kinda not relevant. Especially since Roki Sasaki is potentially coming for league minimum. The dodgers have the luxury of not having so many holes on the team, to the point where they can splurge on Soto

      @@livinb450Then so be it. Passing on Soto just to get Teoscar and Adames is like passing on a mansion in favor of two studio apartments. Adames has a lot of concerns. His defense declined, he has a lot of James Outman in his offensive profile. Inconsistent as well. Teoscar is good but he is older and Soto is superior. But if they don’t get Soto Teo is clearly the best option for outfield. Not a fan of Adames

    Glasnow was a terrible trade. Should have committed with Burnes was a lot cheaper and no history of TJ. Always felt the midsize signings KC made were very underrated. I would rather have proper pitchers that can last than dazzling stuff.
