    I was about as stoked to hear this as I was to hear about Ohtani. 10 years. He wants to retire a Dodger. After a long career. That matters. He's the whole package as far as what a professional baseball player should be. He's all in with the Dodger Way. Which is a real thing. If I had a kid with talent? I'd be holding up Will Smith as someone to emulate.

    Great move! Will Smith is such a pro. $14 M a yr seems cheap, but don't know if he can play catcher 10 more years.

  • @Publiclighthouse
    @Publiclighthouse 10 місяців тому

    I wonder if they’ll experiment with Will playing some 3rd base and, less occasionally, 1st base? He can’t be anymore erratic than Muncy at 3rd and he could spell Freeman on a rare day off. I also wonder how this affects the hotshot prospects like Diego Cartaya and Dalton Rushing? Are they backups? Trade bait? Austin Barnes’s days are numbered.

    Honestly..this is the move this season that makes me the happiest. Such a humble guy..and you can see how respected he is by everyone, especially the pitchers. He was nervous af because he’s so humble. Or shy. Either way. Love the kid. He better be the one to catch for Kersh when his ass gets back. But I understand how much affinity Kersh has for AB.
