I'm Daniel Alarcon, and this is my friend. This is much more famous than I am. I wouldn't go that far, but I'm John Green, co-host at the podcast The Away End, with my old friend Daniel. On our podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Movies can make you feel, make you dream. Sometimes they even make you appreciate architecture.

Is there anybody who's been hotter in a doorway than Elizabeth Taylor? That's the kind of analysis you'll find every week on Dear Movies I Love You, the new podcast from the Exactly Right Network. Every Tuesday, we break down the films we're crushing on, from blockbusters to deep cuts. Listen to Dear Movies I Love You on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Danielle Robe, host of Bookmarked, the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week on Bookmarked, we're basically hosting the Ultimate Girls' Night. Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner, Judy Greer, Rita Wilson, and Gauri Rice, and author Laura Dave.

These are the women behind season two of the Apple TV series, The Last Thing He Told Me. We're talking about turning a book into a hit show and what it really takes to bring a story to life. The most important metric for me is, do I want to do I want to? share this book with somebody. That's what creates community, and that's the main thesis of our book club and why we started it was just to connect people together. Listen to the bookmarked by Reese's Book Club podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a group effort. Go back to back to back. That is your resolution for the 2026 calendar year. Three Pete, baby. Welcome to a new episode of Dodgers territory. Happy New Year as we get ready for 2006, Clint Paseas, Alana Rizzo. So happy

that you guys are here. Raised five stars, like and subscribe to Dodgers Territory as we get ready to try to hit 15,000 followers. That's our first goal of the 2020s season, wherever you get your podcast, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, wherever the pods come to you.

Clint, good to see you. Before we get into team stuff, what is, I don't know if you're a resolution guy. What is your New Year's resolution? for 2026. I mean, I'd be stupid to say if it wasn't to probably lose a pound or two that could go a long way for your boy and his health. Whatever, I'll take the lazy cowards way out.

I'm not a big resolutions guy, but I am a big guy and I should resolve to lose a few of those pounds. I want to be creepy skinny like Jonah Hill. You see that? Oh, no, no, no, no. There's a certain point of too much weight loss. That's funny. You're funny.

I'm not a resolution person either. I love, though, all of the ads for the gyms and everything's like popping up all over the screens. And then the first two weeks that the local gym are packed. And then by, you know, January 15th, everyone's like, who cares? I like being fat. I'm good. All right. Good to see you guys.

Thanks for being here. Let's get into Bleeding Blue. Let's do it. We're not going to do resolutions, but we have resolutions for everybody else, don't we, Clint Paseas. I'm going to start this off. And my New Year's resolution for Moogie Betts is as follows. get that back back on track.

We're trying to get Mookie back to where we know he can be offensively. I have no qualms with Mookie's defense, and I certainly have no qualms with his work ethic, his selflessness, his attitude, all of the things. We're looking for a 900 plus OPS, play equality shortstop, Clint, put an end of these questions about the position change. I don't know why they're still happening.

They don't need to be happening. He is fine at shortstop. He is an above average shortstop. Again, the guy coming in from right field, selfless player, gold glove caliber player, three-time World Series MVP. Wait, four-time. Four-time World Series winner champion. So that's my first resolution for Mookie. Just get back to where you know he can be offensively.

Yeah, I mean, that's a great one right there. We saw flashes of it last year. Mookie can be the man once again for this team hoping he can. For me, leading off my part of imagining new. year's resolutions for your World Series champion Dodgers. I got Tayasca Hernandez. Love the dude. Obviously, this was a guy we desperately, we really, really want, I don't know about

desperate. We really wanted back in Dodger Blue. The Dodgers resign him about this time a year ago, but we need out of him. We need Teo to accept a move to left field, be happy about it, and then get back to hitting enough, hitting enough dingers, hitting enough in the clutch, getting on base just enough to make us not care about his defensive shortcomings because that goes a long. way. If you can get the clutch back with Teo, the Dodgers are going to be in a happy place, and fans are going to be real happy about that one. Yeah, I think that we, I think desperate was fair.

I desperately wanted Teo back. I mean, you're leading to charge. I was. I definitely was. Like, let's go. I mean, he was so instrumental, I think, in 2020. We definitely needed him back in 2025, but I'm with you. Let's, let's move to left field. Let's perhaps put Andy Paez in right field. Let's move Tommy Edmund to centerfield or sign a bona fide center fielder. That's still remains to be seen, but I'm with you on that. My next person is somebody that really, there's only one way to go with him and it's up. And that is Tanner Scott. I need Tanner Scott to be the in the conversation for comeback player of the year.

I want Tanner Scott to lead the team in holds, if you will. Tanner Scott is not the closer and he doesn't need to be. Edwin Diaz is the closer and that's okay. But Tanner Scott, I want him to get his confidence back. I want him to be an eighth inning guy that can just pass the baton to Edwin Diaz, post a sub one whip. Get back to why they signed him to begin with. It was a bad year last year.

Yeah. It was a bad year last year. And that's okay. That happens. But let's get back to why we decided to sign him for what we signed him for. Yeah. Tanner, go get your groove back, man. And we are hearing maybe there was, you know, rumors, whispers of some underlying health issues

with him last year. So prime bounceback candidate. Love that with Tanner Scott. A guy I'm looking forward to seeing back on the bump for the Dodgers in 2026. And somebody I'm given a resolution to make a big, big impact for this team. You guys have heard me talk about him a bunch. River Ryan. You guys are also seeing some River Ryan content go around online right now.

I think MLB.com had a spot on him. My our friend Casey Porter. No, it wasn't Casey. Somebody had. I think Tim Rogers had him on his. Dodgers 2080 show as a guest as well. Go check that out. River Ryan. Good dude, hell of a pitcher, but I'm throwing it out there.

I don't even know if he technically can because of like service time. Dude only has four starts under his belt in his career before he went down with Tommy John. But hey, go out there win the comeback player of the year award. Player of the year award might not be technically eligible, but the dude has nasty stuff. And he says it has gotten better through the rehab, through the Tommy John and the Job exercises and all that stuff to strengthen his arm, strength of his forearm, all of that jazz shoulder. I'm expecting big, big stuff out of River Ryan. Whatever role it may be, obviously the Dodgers rotation is stacked, but he could start,

he could relieve, and bro is going to be nasty, looking forward to that. And you like the fact that they could both be comeback player of the year in the conversation for different reasons, right? Tanner Scott, because of production, River Ryan just because of stuff. That would be very, very cool. And also coming back from injury in terms of. River Ryan versus Tanner Scott, which had some injury issues at the end, but that's not, that wasn't his problem.

You know, I had. Yeah, no, for real. Sorry to cut you off on this because I had the thought that we didn't get a lot of love for Emmett Sheen coming back from the surgery. I think even, you know, we probably didn't talk about it enough over the course of the year, how important how instrumental Emmett Sheen was, you know, start to finish or when he came back from his injury and his surgery and kind of plugged into that rotation and just stayed there.

He stayed there over the course of the season while, you know, Snow was down, Glasnow was down at different points. I didn't hear anybody really talking about Emmett Sheehan and him coming back from that surgery, being in that conversation for comeback player in the award. So a comeback player of the year award. So give a little love. I want to make sure we give a little love to Emmett Sheen, which we also did play last season. But I want to make sure we give some more in that regard.

He is my comeback. player of the year for the Dodgers. Okay, fair enough. That's fair. I mean, yeah, I mean, it's a 25-minute show, Clint. We don't have time to talk about everybody all the time. But anyway, my next guy is a guy that we've talked about a ton, and he was the big off-season splash last year for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Blake Snell. I need this man to make 20 starts a year, you know, for this team. I need him to post. I need him not to miss the first two months of the season, which I'm sure he won't. You know, I just want this guy to be a bona fide ace and a rotation full of aces, right?

You have Shohei, you have Yoshinobu Yamamoto. We're going to get to both of them. I need Blake Snell to be that third ace. And I don't even, I'm not even saying that's the order. I just want five aces. We don't have five aces, but we sure as hell have three. So I need Blake Snell to be that guy. And I certainly think that he can do so because he's unbelievably, you know, productive when healthy.

We say that about everybody. but the point is I need him to post every fifth day. Yeah. It's funny that that is kind of the low bar too, saying 20 starts. It's not necessarily an indictment. Not even 30, maybe get the 25 or whatever, but the Dodgers have so much talent. And we'll talk more about that as we get into spring training. They have so much talent.

He doesn't even need to make 25, 30, 33 starts for this team. Give us 20, stay healthy and be that, you know, game one or game two starter for the team in the postseason. I got a guy who's also in the rotation. He's going to be making his first full season or entering his first full season as a pitcher for the Dodgers. That is Shohei Otani. And I'm going to keep this one brief, simple for Shohei, my resolution for him is to just fuck around and go win a Sy Young Award. Why not? He wants that bad.

Obviously, the mantles filled with MVP awards. Why not add a sigh? Yeah. I mean, okay. Sure. Sure, why not? I mean, the dude has three MVPs already. Why not go ahead and add a Sy Young Award. What if he wins the Tsai Young Award in the same season he wins the MVP? Because you know he's going to win MVP again. That would be, that would be pretty impressive.

So all right, I see you Shohayotani and I raise you Yoshinobu Yamamoto. And the reason is because he was your Say Young Award winner last year, Clanner, or at least you thought that he could be that caliber of pitcher. He was. Obviously, when you're competing in the same league as Paul It's going to be difficult. And Paul Schoen's was incredibly deserving as well. However, Yoshinovo Yamamoto, like, you know how they say that the Grinch's heart like grows a couple of sizes when he learns how to love? There's another body part on Yoshinobi Yamamoto that grew, okay?

Because this man sacked up for the postseason, sacked up for the postseason. He was so freaking good in the postseason. Again, warming up in the 18th inning of game three, coming out again and just absolutely shoving everything he did in the CS. So you sometimes you tell guys to grow a pair. He did and then it just kept going. So Yoshinova Yamamoto, go out and win a Sayang Award to put on your mantle next to the World Series MVP award. I love that. What is it? Hey, guys, jump on my back. He was like jump on my sack. Okay, maybe that was a bit much. It was a bit much. All right. Riz to I don't think he said that. Well, I mean, he said in Japanese.

But Travis Smith, Travis Smith, one of the trainers was like, you, yeah, he commented on big stones. Big stones on that. Big big stones. The final one to wrap us up, we'll keep it also very simple. And I think it's one, it's for the entire team. This is a group effort. Go back to back to back.

That is your resolution for the 2026 calendar year. Three Pete, baby. Yeah. I mean, I don't think there's anything else you can say. I mean, what else could the resolution be? That's always the goal for the Los Angeles Dodgers when they get to Camelback mid-February is to win the World Series. And they've accomplished that the last two years.

So yes, 2006, that is our resolution for you. We know it is your resolution for yourself. Three-peep, baby, three-peat. All right, guys, those are our resolutions that we are imagining for this team. Still much more to come on Dodgers territory.

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old.

I watched every game, and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player. on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan.

I love this game. I love its history, its hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end

with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Danielle Robe. host of Bookmarked, the podcast by Reese's Book Club. And this week, we are talking about a monster. Or maybe the woman who refused to be one. I'm sitting down with Maggie Jillon Hall to unpack her new film, The Bride. And trust me, this isn't your grandmother's bride of Frankenstein. It's darker,

smarter, sexier, a full reimagining of what happens when the monster gets a voice of her own. What I was more interested in was the monstrousness inside of each of us. You can spend your life running from those things, or you can turn around and shake hands with them. If I'm honest about that, and I tell my story about monsters really dealing in something truthful, and I do it in a way that's pop, that's hot, that's like getting on a roller coaster, will people respond? Listen to Bookmarked, the Reese's Book Club podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I went and sat on the little ottoman in front of him. I was, hi, Dad.

And just when I said that, my mom comes out of the kitchen. She says, I have some cookies and milk. This is his badass convict. Right. Just finished five years. I'm going to have cookies and milk at him all. Yeah. On the senior show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption.

On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trail to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances. The entire season two is now available to binge featuring powerful conversations with the guests like Tiffany Addish, Johnny Knoxville, and more. I'm an alcoholic. and without this trouble, I'm going to die. Open your free IHR radio app. Search the Cito Show and listen now. Yeah, let's start it behind the seams. I got some things I want to talk about.

We are in the new year, and it's time to talk about the team and winning another, you know, title. So anyways, here's the friend of it. That's all we're talking about. Clint, the Dodgers are loaded. They're loaded. Got a lot of talent, superstar talent.

you know, a bunch of dudes that are right at the forefront. I'm going to restart this. They are loaded with superstar talent. You know your show Hey Otanis, your Freddy's, your Yamamoto's, your Muki Betts, the guys that are at the forefront of helping this club win a World Series title in each of the last two years. But they also get there. They get through the postseason. They get to and through the promised land with the under the radar guys.

This is a long walk around too. I want to talk about some of the guys that I'm looking forward to seeing on the team in 2026. We're talking under the radar guys. In 2024, it was Anthony Bonda. He was somebody who kind of showed up out of nowhere more in the vein of a traditional Andrew Friedman. I'm not going to call him a scrap heap signing, but he was somebody that we didn't know who had struggled before. And the Dodgers kind of helped him find something. Andy Pahez was a rookie in 2024 helped his team win a title.

in 2024. And 2025 was Jack Dreyer, a rookie, start to finish, was on this team picking up big innings. Emmett Sheen, we just talked about a little bit ago, coming back from injury, picking up big innings over the course of the season. Will Klein in the same vein of an Anthony Bonda coming up, showing up out of nowhere and having a big hero moment, of course, in that World Series game three. So there are three guys, three under the radar guys that I'm watching.

I want people to keep an eye on. And these are the guys I believe are going to help the Dodgers go forward. win another one in 2026. I'm gonna start us off. Yes, I've talked about this. Before you go, before you go into 2026, I would like to add Alex Fesia and Brent Honeywell to the 202014 in terms of impact, impact guys,

kind of under the radar guys for that club. All right, 2026, you're under the radar guys to look for. Who's your first guy? Leading us off, again, you guys have heard me talk about. You guys have heard me talk about this dude a bunch. Kyle Hurt. He is somebody who is coming back from injury, had the Tommy John surgery, made his debut in 2024.

Only pitched a few games, but the things you saw from him, the future looks bright for the kid. He's got a live arm. He's got that, that Haas mentality. I think I had said at the time a year ago, a year and a half ago, I had said he seems like the type of dude who can show up in the ninth inning. you know, punch out the toughest part of your lineup. And then later that night, you'll see him getting in a bar fight at the local bar

down to Tallahassee or something like that. Dude's a dude. This is, he is straight up a dude. He is a pitcher. He is a hurler. He's got nasty stuff. And he is somebody, again, coming back from surgery, the Dodgers can try to start him. His role for this team.

And in my heart is in the bullpen, back into the bullpen. Could be somebody that could be the heir apparent to a, Blake Trinin, obviously kind of different profile of the stuff and the movement. His is a little more straight as where Blake's is, makes no sense the way his pitches move. But Kyle Hurd, Riz, I'm telling you, this is a kid. Obviously, you didn't, you saw him a little bit. You probably don't know as much about him as I do. That's not on you.

That's on me for knowing way too much about this kid. But just the excitement of the fastball, the breaking stuff, the change up, the kid is going to be good and he is going to find a way into some big inning, some big moments for this team, and up into Dave Roberts' trust tree in 2026. Mark my words. We'll be the year. Kyle. All right. So where then does Kyle hurt rank in terms of your trust tree and your love fest as far as River Ryan? Because River Ryan is your number two dude. We talked about him earlier as well, perhaps comeback player of the year type of situation. But what is his role and why should we be watching out for him.

River Ryan is going to be in a probably unfair position, but his importance to this team is he's going to be a starter. Why he's a starter and Kyle Hurt won't be a starter. That's just what I decided. I have spoken, so make it so. But with River Ryan, obviously, coming back from injury, I already said earlier, the stuff is there. He's nasty.

He's a dude who has a fastball that can touch in the upper 90s, can kind of sit in the upper 90s. The breaking stuff has gotten better. through the injury, through the surgery, through the rehab. But as we know, the Dodgers want to have a six-man rotation. Not everybody stays healthy all throughout the course of a season. So River Ryan is going to be in that all too familiar, all too perhaps unfair. I'm going to call it the Mitch White roll.

He is going to be picking up a lot of frequent flyer miles. But that pitcher, that guy that comes up and down, last year was kind of, especially early in the season, it was a lot of Landon Nack. He saw some Matt Sauer. this raises the floor for the Dodgers when it comes to that seventh, that eighth starter in the starting rotation to that guy who, if Roki Sasaki doesn't work out, and by the way,

we probably should have had Roki Sasaki in our resolutions, but we didn't. So now he's here. Roki, go quiet the haters and show everybody why every team in baseball wanted to sign you. But River Ryan is going to be that guy. He is going to be that break in case. emergency guy. This guy needs a blow. We need a spot starter. Come on up from O KC and try to, you know,

I would not be shocked to see him get 10, 11, 15 starts, really open some eyes and maybe for him, even be a potential like trade candidate or whatever, but I really like River Ryan. I want to, people aren't picking up what I'm throwing down here. I'm buying what you're selling there, but all right. So I feel like Gavin Stone is in the same mold. I feel like you have, when you look at Kyle Hurd, River Ryan, and your third dude, Gavin Stone, I feel like they're, all very similar, not necessarily in terms of stuff, but kind of the same situation that they're in. Yeah. Obviously, this was a dude who was just on an absolute tear in 2024 in the conversation to be an all-star if the Dodgers didn't really have, already have like 14 all-stars on that NL squad

that year. The shoulder gave on him at the worst possible time when also every other starter was going down with injuries and they somehow piecemeal their way to a World Series title in 2024. But Stoner is back. Gavin Stone is back. And when he made his debut in 23, you could see there was still some help needed. There was still some polish needed. He became a polished product in 2024. And now coming back in 26, I'm expecting him to be a guy who is kind of in the same mold that we saw with Emmett Sheen in 2025. plug into the rotation and make it impossible to be removed from the rotation.

Stone, again, was a big part, a big part of this team's plan and success. And now he's going to somehow have to squeeze his way in to being either the five or the six guy in the rotation. But Stone coming back from injury, that is huge for this team. And that is three names. Everybody knows them. But names you need to be watching in 26. What about Bruzdar? What are we doing with him?

This was a little bit of an honorable mention. I initially was going to have this list be longer, but Bruzdar coming back. You know, it's wild. Riz, we've pretty much, this team has been kind of pretty much without Brousdarder all for the last two seasons. In 24, he made it, I think he appeared in like seven games. He did ultimately get into and onto the postseason roster and pitching meaningful games for the team down the strats. So down the stretch gave his shoulder along the way to make that happen. And then, of course, just it was fall start after fall start last year.

This is the year we need bruisedar back. We need the bazooka back. He's just, he, the most effortless 101 coming out of the back end of the bullpen. Like, imagine that dude being in last year's bullpen in the postseason. Seriously. Imagine that dude being in this year's bullpen with Edwin Diaz. Edwin Diaz, Bruzdar, Gratterol. you really need a bounce back, by the way, from a Blake Trinon.

And then you already mentioned Tanner Scott in there, Alex Vessia, another season coming back for him. Yeah, Anthony Bonda, Jack Dreyer, this bullpen. And this was kind of why, you know, the Dodgers seemed almost resigned, heading into the winter meetings up until like, oh, crap, Edwin Diaz seems real. This is why the Dodgers seemed almost resigned to not having a big, flashy, splashy offseason was they knew they had. They knew they had all these dudes. They understand the talent that they have in that bullpen. Yeah, they're not household names.

They're not the sexiest names. But usually with a good bullpen, it's not a bunch of superstar crazy names. It's just, it's a bunch of guys being dudes. And we've seen this team be successful doing that in the past. It's the bullpen dogs. It's the bullpen dogs. Can I pet that, though? Can I pet that dog?

No, but we can introduce you. to one. Yeah, let's do that now. But anyways, there's my list. Those are the guys you're watching. Now you're going to watch this dog. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fult and our Stars. And now, I guess also is the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist. And John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.

For us, soccer, football, is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, it's hope, it's heartbreak, and above all, it's beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer, is the most important. Listen to the away end with Daniel Auerkone and John Green on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Well, I guess these dogs. Oh, the dogs. Let us introduce you to Lady and do not let her resting bitchface fool you. She's actually very, very sweet and very happy. She just happens to have a natural downturn to her face like I do. So everyone thinks I'm mad. Everyone says I have RBF. It is what it is.

Lady is a three-year-old Sharpay and cane Corso Mix. She's great with other dogs. She is spayed. She is potty trained. She's crate trained. She's super sweet, super loving, vaccinated, chipped, all the things. She is being fostered in England, California. And she is ready for an adopter.

So please, if you're interested in learning more about lady and her resting bitch face, please reach out to gidreysgarden.org and learn more about her. We appreciate it very, very, very much. Nothing going on for all Dodgers with Clint Paseas tonight, right? Figure not. So thought for the road, we have a new member of our team joining us, Clint. Yeah, excited to make it official here. But as expected, as people were also clamoring for when they saw she was moving to the Dodger beat for the athletic.

Katie Wu will officially be a regular, a third here on Dodgers territory. Excited for that. Katie, obviously, big addition. to the program. It's going to mean a lot more content for everybody out there. We're going to add another show on the channel during the season as well. We could rotate hosts and all that kind of stuff. And Riz, we don't have to carry the load of everything anymore.

Yeah, it would be great to have Katie because she's literally there every day. She is the Dodgers beat reporter in addition to Fabian Ardia, who is still there. So the Dodgers have two beat reporters for the athletic. And Katie is going to bring all of the insight, the clubhouse access, the dugout access, everything that's going on. She's going to bring it to Clint and I on this show. So that's going to be much more access for you guys. She's going to hopefully join Clint and I for our show next Thursday, the 8th. And then I think Clint and Katie will be doing it together without me on the 12th. And then like he said, we're just going to rotate all of us in. Sometimes it's three. Sometimes it's two of us. But the point is it's more access. She's phenomenal at her job. And we're super psyched to welcome Katie Wu to the Dodgers. territory family. Hit that thumbs up for Katie joining the show, guys. You guys are going to love her.

We're going to love her on the show for sure. Hit that thumbs up if you're already doing it for this video here on the YouTube. Subscribe to the channel. We would appreciate it, as Riz said earlier.
