Well they've been considered that for a few years now with only one title in the Covid season, now ALL the pressure is on them, if they don't win it all they immediately become an all time laughing stock. That's a lot of pressure especially with a guy who's never thrown a major league pitch yet being one of the top 2 P;s on the team, Look how last year turned out for the Mets, there was similar talk after they signed Scherzer and Verlander Then poof!! I would hold the "Greatest team" ever talk til people actually see what the team can actually do. They start out slow and people will already start roasting them.
@@pycellesbeard9728 I'd give the Dodgers a little more credit than that. Steve Cohen overpaid two Hall of Fame pitchers who are not in they're prime.

@@robertpalatsky5017I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Kershaw sign on for a last year with the Dodgers to close up shop. That would make the Dodger rotation: Yamamoto, Glasnow, Buehler, Kershaw, Miller.
Kind of a good question just because, what are these guys doing just living at studio? Did videos early in the day and they just stay there waiting for baseball news?😅
The big red machine traded for Foster and added Joe Morgan from Houston super team. The 90’s Braves signed Maddux and Prime Time, traded for Smoltz and crime dog, 09 Yankees for sure were bought as a super team
Great teams on paper don't guarantee anything in baseball. AJ, the 2004 Yankees was a super team. After winning the AL Pennant in 2003, they added AL MVP Alex Rodriguez, All-Star outfielder Gary Sheffield, All-Star pitcher Javier Vazquez and veteran Kenny Lofton to an already stacked roster. They were the clear favorites to win it all, and we all remember what happened in the ALCS.
Brandon Woodruff is next. 2 year deal he rehabs the first year at the facility, then the second year he comes back strong ready to build his value back up for a pay day in 2026. Oh yea also Sasaki if he gets posted early is gonna join the dodgers in 2025. Potential 2025 rotation Shohei, Yamamato, Glasnow, Miller, Sasaki, Woodruff six man rotation and by then Frasso and River Ryan will have MLB experience as well.
1. Were all the acquisitions free agent signings, though? 2. LA is a bigger market. 3. The Marlins didn't have a selfless player like Shohei deferring most of his salary.
@SweetZombiJesus 3 should be worded as "The Marlins had some class and integrity and didn't essentially cheat"👌🏻... not that it matters tho, LA won't win anything except most over blown expectations vs. performance
@@fullcircle8231which part of it was actual cheating? The Dodgers are spending lots of money on carefully scouted talents, of course winning isnt guaranteed but they are giving themselves an excellent chance to do so. How are you so sure it wont work? Or are you commenting emotionally?
The Dodgers have averaged just under 99 wins each of the past 10 full seasons. Those have been some damn good teams, and they have one title during that time. This sounds great but still does not guarantee they will get dominant pitching or win in the playoffs. If I had to pick one team to win the WS I would go with the Dodgers. But I think the odds favor that one of the other 29 teams will wind up winning. Baseball often does not work out as planned. Although this might. Yama has never thrown an MLB inning, let's give a few starts to evaluate.
Yup there's no guarantees. But these are great moves to help finally get over that hurdle, especially 2025 beyond when Ohtani is recovered and Yamamoto adjust.
First superteam? No. Many existed before and many were iterations of a Yankees team in the last 20 years, which made them the villain of baseball since I was a kid. I mean 2005 Yankees had arguably one of the strongest offense ever seen in baseball's modern era: Jason Giambi, A Rod, Derek Jeter, Hideki Matsui, Gary Sheffield, Jorge Posada, and Tino Martinez. On top of this, their ace was Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. They also had HoF Mike Mussina. Nevertheless, it looks like the Dodgers recently have been going this Yankees route by making major acquisitions.
If the dodgers would have somehow been able to acquire Randy in the trade with the rays it would have been a complete dream offseason .. just don’t see why Friedman didn’t include 2 of 3 from busch, Vargas or stone and just get Randy along with glasnow instead.. Busch and Vargas both have no spots on this team and both are still high regarded young talent
And? If a pitcher was coming from the American league to the NL, would you say he has no "NL" experience? All of the dominant pitchers from Japan who have come over young enough have been great, from Darvish, to Tanaka, to Senga. He's faced MLB hitters in Japan.
Been telling people this EXACT line even before we signed shohei. We been playing the long game. As a dodger fan. The embarrassment of getting bounced like we have, FINALLY we said hold our glove we got something for yall
The dude hasn’t thrown a single pitch in the MLB and they’re throwing $300 million his way. Didn’t the Dodgers do signings similar to this before, like Hector Olivera and Alex Guerrero to name a couple who didn’t pan out after making the switch.🤷🏻♂️
Do you honestly think cheating your way to a championship is just as good as earning one? Your comment is the perfect example of everything that's wrong with this country right now!
It was already in the bag from the start, Ohtani didn’t defer all that money for no reason!!!! There’s still more coming Dodgers, this ain’t the end of it!!! I said it at the start when Dodgers signed Ohtani, Dodgers gonna win a few WS!!!!
Shohei and Yamamoto taking their talent to Long Beach. After they win a few World Series for the Dodgers, the Kings will return to the Angels for unfinish business. 🙃
@jcrack175 deferring 95% of a contract until it's ran out is literally just cheating my guy.... that's not a good agent, that's just low integrity. Not that it matters though... LA will get as far as playing Atlanta in any postseason. That'll be a wrap on their season every year🥱🪓
@@fullcircle8231that’s sacrificing yourself for the team little bruh 😂😂😂😂 No one else would have done that except shohei. Tell me another player willing to defer 97% of their contract 😂😂😂😂😂 You’re just angry and butthurt
12 years, $325M for a guy that’s never even played in MLB just sounds stupid. Especially considering the track record of Japanese pitchers becoming injury prone shortly after going to MLB.
Give me a track record of pitchers in this day and age who ARE NOT injury prone. Pitchers are ALL injury prone! Huge gamble for any team signing a pitcher for $20M plus for anything beyond 5yrs. These franchises have already accepted injury as a by-product of the position, they just hope that they don't get a Stephen Strasburg type situation on their hands.
Mets and Yankees needed to bid an offer that LA couldn't match. They made a bad decision. Cohen gave 43M each to 2 aging 40 year old pitchers (Max and Verlander) last year and think 25 year old 3-time CY and MVP in Pacific league Yamamoto is worth less than that? 400M would have sealed the deal and hard for LA to match. Next year Roki Sasaki will join Superteam LA. Dynasty!
@@johnnylopez8862 I love baseball. I’ve been a Dodgers fan since 1981. I’ve seen a’lot of great players in Dodger blue. I remember seeing those Yankee teams and being a little jealous. They just really put it together at the end of the 90’s and they had a great run

@@tarukashao5691 yeah, if Glasnow can stay healthy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a Cy Young candidate by the end of the season. He’s actually a new player.

This is a longer-term move. Not just focusing on 2024. Buehler Ohtani Yamamoto Glasnow Kershaw Miller Urias/May/Gonsolin That is a ridiculous rotation.
Actually now I think the guys pre-recorded this lol. No mention of the other reports that came out tonight or the details of the contract that are already out
Having Ohtani and now Yamamoto on the Dodgers will have Sasaki do everything in his power to push the NPB to post him next year. LA is officially a hot spot for future Japanese players and it's not even close. The Dodgers have all the leverage for the next decade 😂 eat that haters! 🤣💙✌🏽
JFC These guys don't even know what a "Super team" is either, reminds me of all the tools who said the 80's Celtics, Lakers, and Pistons and the 90's Bulls were "Super teams" Sorry but drafting Bird and getting lucky with a trade to get McHale and Parish, or Drafting Magic and Worthy nearly a decade after trading for Kareem is NOT what the term Super team was created for. Those Yankees of the past or the Big Red Machine were hardly super teams, they were organically built.
Give me either giolito & teoscar Or giolito and hader The dodgers have 3 superstars in their prime .. freeman is 33 but just had one of his best years so I think he’s got at least 2 years of elite production left. Mookie is 31 and just had one of his best years, I think he has about 3-4 years of elite production left and ohtani is 29 so he probably has 4-6 years left.. you maximize now because how often will you have 3 of those caliber players on your team at the same time. The dodgers cannot leave the rest of their team looking like it is.. Jason heyward should have no more than an occasional start and pinch hit role.. this idea that he’s our RF because of a bounce back year which was still mediocre if we’re being honest. Lux is our starting SS and just came off a big injury, max muncy hasn’t been that great . Taylor is out LF and we literally don’t have a 3b outside of Vargas .. this team is real too heavy
Shohei is Yoshinobu's "hero". This has been expected by many of Japanese bssrball fans. Like Shohei, Yoshinobu wants to be with a winning team, with a team where he can feel comfortable and fit well.

Stay true. I was a dodger fan through the 90s and early 2000s when we were a joke. I mean, we traded away Mike Piazza at the height of his career. It doesn’t get more painful than that.
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351im a new baseball fan. But was not fond of being an angels fan because how poor of an organisation it has been forever. Im glad im in a situation where i can choose my first and only team to root for my lifetime with the dodgers. They have done great things in the past and now it the present. ohtani is also the reason why i started watching baseball and i love japanese baseball players they are all so humble and respectful.
@@tarukashao5691 welcome! you’ll like the Dodgers; players like Freeman, Betts, and Kershaw are humble and all class.
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351 can't wait to learn more about the rest of the team. i already watched some podcast interviews of Glasnow. the dude is so chill an relaxed :D also have been following yamamoto in the japanese league. To think it was possible to sign ohtani and him while renewing Tyler Glasnow contract is just magical. Hope he can have great year with no injuries
@@tarukashao5691 yeah, if Glasnow can stay healthy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a Cy Young candidate by the end of the season. He’s actually a new player. The Dodgers just traded for him from the Rays. Are you familiar with Hideo Nomo? He was the first modern Japanese player to play in the mlb during the 90s and he played for the Dodgers. The dude was a huge celebrity in LA back then and even won Rookie of the year.
No surprise. They are closer to Japan.
Hell yeah, Todd Frazier coming with the positive energy. I forgive you for getting extra rest and beating Joc in the home run derby. 😂 Just messing, lets go!!!
They still need more pitching tho Othani won’t pitch till 2025 .. so 1.yamamoto 2. Glassnow 3 buhler that’s it
I would be VERY happy if LA won the next 10 World Series. Baseball is better when the Dodgers rule the game. Bleed blue.
97' Marlins like Sabbath said
It's ok yankees fan .now we get Corbin burnes ? or Dylan cease ? bullpen joradn hicks ? Maybe Jordan monty ?
Lol dodgers not done lol
@@BobSmith-qh1ej I'm yankees fan it's ok maybe, now yankees get Corbin burnes or Dylan cease? Maybe Blake snell?
I want Snell and Hader.
@@diamonddoggspuppy7755 I hope so ?
Guy with the yellow hat is so mad… 😂
🙏 every mlb teams we are back
New York just got Toronto’ed
If he were to defer his money they probably could be able to get burnes.
The thing is Freidmen was playing chest and he just checkmate everyone…. This is not checkers
@jonahahumada1257 checkmated everyone? My child... the dodgers spent a billion this off-season and still play second fiddle to Atlanta in the NL💀🤣. You don't gotta cheat and circumvent the salary cap when you can sign your entire core for less than half what they're worth on the open market🤷🏻♂️👌🏻
@@fullcircle8231 cheat are you kidding me why cause nobody defers that’s up to players not just a office stop crying cause we actually have the revenue and TV deals to do moves like this didn’t hear anything last year when we didn’t pick up anybody stop crying your not gonna do nothing stop laughing I didn’t see you at WS last year so shhhhh be ready for opening day n come with no excuses
The dodgers fan is coming home
Dodgers not a super team yet. Dodgers pitching is still bad. Buehler, Gonsolin, Kershaw, not coming back until July.
This is a longer-term move. Not just focusing on 2024.
Buehler
Ohtani
Yamamoto
Glasnow
Kershaw
Miller
Urias/May/Gonsolin
That is a ridiculous rotation.
I can name a few super teams and they are all the dodgers
93 Bluejays?
I wondered who was going to go live at 11:30pm on a Thursday
Actually now I think the guys pre-recorded this lol. No mention of the other reports that came out tonight or the details of the contract that are already out
Having Ohtani and now Yamamoto on the Dodgers will have Sasaki do everything in his power to push the NPB to post him next year. LA is officially a hot spot for future Japanese players and it's not even close. The Dodgers have all the leverage for the next decade 😂 eat that haters! 🤣💙✌🏽
Agree. Sasaki had already shown his intention to be posted next year. Murakami, an infielder, is another great player to watch get posted soon.
The World Series is now for the Dodgers to lose.
When are the Dodgers just joining the Japanese league
Sound like you’re butthurt 😂
JFC These guys don't even know what a "Super team" is either, reminds me of all the tools who said the 80's Celtics, Lakers, and Pistons and the 90's Bulls were "Super teams" Sorry but drafting Bird and getting lucky with a trade to get McHale and Parish, or Drafting Magic and Worthy nearly a decade after trading for Kareem is NOT what the term Super team was created for. Those Yankees of the past or the Big Red Machine were hardly super teams, they were organically built.
12 years?? Wow
I'm really happy they screwed the Nets and Yankees. Now Robetts better not screw it up
Dodger Stadium will be sold out every night it’s the like the showtime lakers of the 80’s
Give me either giolito & teoscar
Or giolito and hader
The dodgers have 3 superstars in their prime .. freeman is 33 but just had one of his best years so I think he’s got at least 2 years of elite production left. Mookie is 31 and just had one of his best years, I think he has about 3-4 years of elite production left and ohtani is 29 so he probably has 4-6 years left.. you maximize now because how often will you have 3 of those caliber players on your team at the same time. The dodgers cannot leave the rest of their team looking like it is.. Jason heyward should have no more than an occasional start and pinch hit role.. this idea that he’s our RF because of a bounce back year which was still mediocre if we’re being honest. Lux is our starting SS and just came off a big injury, max muncy hasn’t been that great . Taylor is out LF and we literally don’t have a 3b outside of Vargas .. this team is real too heavy
I am so happy this is just great news
Samurai Japan LA Branch.
Otani bought the Dodgers.
Not seeing this anywhere
It’s everywhere
