We would have liked to have done it in 2025, but that's okay. That's our new goal for 2026. Let us get there. So here we have it, Clemphasias.

We made it, my friend. It is the end of 2025. Yeah, the final show of the year, final live stream, final show of season two of Dodgers territory. We appreciate you guys hanging out with us. Today, we're doing something a little bit different. We're talking about the Dodgers, diving into the top storylines. that you and I will be watching heading into the new year. And we're going to do that right now on the big ticket.

All right. So there's still time, Clint, for the Dodgers to make a splash or two before reporting to spring training at Camelback Ranch. And the question remains, sir, how much work, if any, in your opinion, is left for Andrew Friedman and company. The biggest splash, I would say, Edwin Diaz, we got the closer that I wanted. I wanted a closer. Is there more to come in your estimation?

Yeah. I mean, you still got a whole month and change. before, you know, the boys report to pitchers and cats. You said that. It just makes me so excited. We are, you know, the it's back. The bug is back. Pictures and catchers report.

That really, that gets me going right there. But yeah, the biggest storylines we're going to watch is related to that. Are they done? Are they going to add an outfielder? Are they going to add an infielder like we've talked about before pitchers and catchers report? We've talked about maybe there is a need for a center fielder that would kind of move Mandy Pahez to right field to Oscar Hernandez to left field. We've talked about maybe if they don't go that route, adding a plus plus bat to ball kind of left fielder.

Somebody that just has a little bit different, less of a strikeout profile on the team. We've also discussed a lot over the last month the potential of adding a second baseman. Boba Chet really, really stands out for this team. And that would be an option to kind of kick Tommy Edmund out to center field in that outfield mix and all of that. do they go one of those routes? Is it a trade as a free agency? They also have the pieces to like not make another move. I think it would behoove to borrow from Jim Tracy,

behoove the Dodgers to make one more splash before pitchers and catchers report, you know, capitalize on either free agency or, you know, some options out there in the trade market. But that's one of the big storylines. Thoughts on that before we kind of trudge forward. Well, if that's going to be the splash, that would be massive, right? If Boba Shett happens to become a Dodger, my gosh,

that's a massive, massive position player splash to go with the massive message pitching splash in Edwin Diaz. Now let me ask you this then. So if you do get Boba Shitt and that kicks Tommy Edmund out to center field, which I'm fine with that as well, would you take that or would you be not necessarily equally as excited, but still pretty excited and satisfied if they ended up, and it wasn't Boba Shet, but it was Stephen Kwan and like Harrison.

Bader. I don't think they would need both Bader and Kwan. One of the two would be very nice. Between those two, I would definitely lean the Stephen Kwan way. I don't think Cleveland is trading. I mean, they were in the playoffs last year. Like, they're not a terrible team. They could use a closer suddenly over there in Cleveland and probably some more

bullpen help. But they, I don't know, it feels like it's a hard sell. to hard sell of the fan base to trade away, you know, a homegrown star. But if the Dodgers doing that, might as well land, you know, J-Ram at the same time. I'm getting back in the Horsay-Ramara's trade. You are so on him, which I get. I mean, he's a perennial all-star. But let me ask you this.

So if you look at our chat, Dave S-2-0-26. Yeah, Dave S-20206. What about Bo and Bader? I mean, yeah, sure, that would be fine, too. But then what does that mean in terms of, where does Tommy? Edmund fit into that situation? You know, is Bader your bench guy? I mean, is Bader someone that's coming off the bench if you do, in fact, move Tommy Edmund to the outfield?

If you do get Bo Bichette? What do you think about Dave's thought here about Bo and Bader? I just like the name. It sounds like a law firm. Bo and Bader attorney at law. Attorneys at law. I mean, we talked about this like two or three weeks ago. I love these two together.

If there is like a 1A version of a Dodgers off season would be adding Bo Bichette and an outfetchette and an outfielder, like a Jaron Duran or a Stephen Kwan or Kyle Tucker or something like that. Cody Bellinger. That would be the 1A, the 1B would be this one because Harrison Bader can

scratch that itch we've talked about with center field. He can play left field. And I think the best version of this team does not have Tommy Edmund playing every day. Maybe I wouldn't call it. You were big on him when they signed him. even though he was coming off all those injuries and we were just kind of waiting to see

what he was going to give us. Why do you say that? Why do you like him more as maybe a platoon guy, a bench guy? I mean, I think that's his best role. He's, he's come up. Listen, I love Tommy Edmund. He's had some very big moments for this team. Maybe an ankle was bugging him a lot, but he seems to be a little bit inconsistent.

I don't think he's going to be that big time power bat that we saw like early last year, early or early this year, early 2025 in April where we're like, oh, crap, this dude, kind of has a little bit of sock. Maybe the Dodgers, you know, if Fleeceman strikes again, as it were, with that five-year extension with Tommy Edmund. But in some sort of platoon role, kind of settling into taking a step back into more of a Chris Taylor role, I think that could be best for Tommy Edmund. Doesn't mean he's playing, not playing every day.

I guess I should restate it. It would be more, he's going to play some center. He's going to play some second. He's going to play short. He's going to play left. Mix him around, kick him around everywhere. and that also lets him, you know, opens up a door, opens up an opportunity for Harrison Bader

to get some reps in centerfield and left field and all that stuff as well. But you do whatever you can to maximize that outfield while still adding Boba Shett again. That's my perfect offseason. I'm going to go that hard in the paint. I doubt it. But I also doubted Edwin Diaz and then that happened.

Well, that wasn't even being talked about as much as we know that. Bo Bouchette was going to be talked about. We knew that Boba Shep was going to be on the minds of many, if not all 30, even though not all 30, would go for it. But, okay, let me ask you this. So Dave is an agreement saying that Edwin basically, or excuse me, Tommy Edmund, it's basically like a Swiss Army knife, a super utility guy, if you will.

There's some folks on here, Clint, that don't want Harrison Vader. Smurphy 24, saying if you want Bader, you might as well bring back 0-4-2. Literally no difference. It's O for Ford. O-forto, yeah. Oh, for Ford. Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense for Conforto.

I don't agree with that. I think Harrison Vader has more, more to give, I guess, than Michael. I didn't play more outfield spots than Michael Conforto, and I think, offensively, he'll definitely be better. I will say I did kind of look more at Harrison Bader's career and the numbers, and they're not phenomenal for sure. It's not, you know, it's not Kyle. He's not Kyle Tucker.

He's not Cody Bellinger. He doesn't cost you or Kyle Tucker is going to cost you either. You don't need a Kyle Tucker. You don't need a Cody Bellinger. You don't need to spend a bazillion dollars. I mean, if Cody thinks he's getting 400, he's smoking something and it's not marijuana. And if, you know, I just don't think the 325 or 400 or whatever it is for Kyle Tucker is going to be. Yeah.

That's not sensible either. Yeah. To add a Bichette and a Bader. And I didn't expect us to devolve too much into this again, which I love. I love this conversation. I think it's, again, it gets the juices flowing for the 2026 season and knowing that there still is potentially some big offseason moves, some big offseason change ahead that does excite me. But the thing is, again, they don't need to make a move, but we've talked about it already. I think heading into the season with your left field, let's say right now, your left field and your second base being, you know, Hesong Kim,

and Tommy Edmund and Ryan Ward and Alex Call, as of right now, on the 40-man roster, I think you can do a little bit better. I definitely think you, I know you can do a little bit better, especially with a team that's making all this cash. They just, what, dropped like $90 million off the payroll with all the, you know,

Kershaw retiring and other people moving on and all that kind of stuff. They got the money, take advantage, capitalize on this opportunity. We don't even know if Bichette's really available to the Dodgers, but. Well, I mean, I think to Ron. I was going to have the first right or refusal, right? If Toronto brings him back, my guess is he's going to want to be like Vlad and finish his career there. But if Toronto's not willing to give him the bag, like they gave Vlad the bag, then he has the right as a free agent. I believe all of them do to test it out.

Let me ask you this. Do you think the Dodgers are done adding to the bullpen? That's a great question. You know, we've had some dialogue this offseason before the winter meetings, before the Edwin Diaz signing. where we knew they wanted to add a top, a high leverage, right-handed reliever to the back end of the bullpen. Did not think it was going to be Edwin Diaz.

Just said that a little bit ago. It was. That is massive. That should kind of be their checklist because they have a bunch of really, really good arms. We'll show off a screen a little bit about some of the bullpen arms that are around. Actually, I'll just throw it up right now.

This isn't all of them. This does not have Kyle Hurt. This does not have River Ryan in the mix. You don't know quite what ends up happening with Emmett Sheehan along the way because they are going to need to feel the starting rotation of but only six players. But it feels like they should and could be done after Diaz and, you know, at most wait until. And you still don't know what I understand they want Roki Sasaki to be a starter, but you don't know how that's going to know. So does that mean that he ends up in the bullpen? There's a lot of question marks, but they definitely have the arms to move around.

And to your point, we don't know what's going to happen with River Ryan and Kyle Hurts and the types of things. But I'd be fine if they didn't add anything to the bullpen because you figure Evan Phillips is coming back at some point. Is bruised our graderol? Is bruised our grader all got to make some sort of appearance and make some sort of impact for this club, you know, down and down the line? I mean, we haven't seen much of him in the last two plus years, guys. So anyway, I don't think they would have a need to add anybody else in the bull. If they need anything in my opinion, we've talked about this at nausea. I mean, honestly, it's because this off-season, there's just nothing going on for God's sake.

So we keep having to regurgitate the same stuff. But it's still on the minds of Dodgers fans. It's like, what is this roster going to look like? Not only just come spring training, which is about six weeks away, which is awesome, but also, what is this club going to look like come opening day, which is, you know, we're less than 90 days away or whatever from opening day. So it would be cool. I mean, another shock, and you mentioned this, and by the way, guys, Clint does such a great

job putting together our rundowns on a on a show basis. So I appreciate all the effort he does for it. But, you know, well, they shocked the baseball world with Terrick Scouble. I don't think so. I would think that the Tigers would be really flipping stupid to A, not extend him now, but B, to let him go. I think that's really, really dumb on their part when they were a pretty damn good baseball team last year. And I hope, you know, I think they're only going to get better. So would it shocked the baseball world? Yes, it would. Are they going to do it? I don't think so. Yeah, same. I was looking. Scouble was on his social media, kind of making a Detroit world tour,

popping his head in at different events and sporting events and game. Yeah, and he said, like, I think the comment or the description on his post was like Detroit over everybody else. Like, they're doing a little bit of damage control, probably over those rumors. But yeah, for Detroit, another team that made the postseason to trade away like your ace, even though ostensibly you could say it makes a team better, adding two high-quality arms versus one insanely elite arm. They could use some more starting pitching help because it's what, him, Jack Flaherty, and then I don't know the Detroit Tigers.

I'm sorry, that is the length of my knowledge of the Detroit Tigers. But yeah, I don't know. I will chug a beer on the stream if the Dodgers. Somehow land Terrick Scoobel. That's it. Just a barrier. You're going to be checking more than that. I mean, I mean, they have a decent.

They have a decent lineup. They have a decent. I mean, they're not the daughters. Not many teams are. But I mean, Casey Myers is in that rotation. There's some other guys in there that are not elite, elite, elite, but enough to not, in my opinion, trade Terrick Scouble. I mean, they have a good, you know, bullpen guy and Kyle Finnegan.

They just got Kelly Jansson, you know, say what you want. I mean, Reese Olson, Drew. Anderson, that's part of their rotation as well. So there you have. Again, not guys, not names that were like superstar names and I understand that. But I think they would be absolutely idiotic to trade terrorist Google. That is neither here nor there. I don't say, I don't think the rumors officially have died out because who knows. Who knows what Andrew Friedman got going on under his two lane sleeve there, if you will. Much more to come on Dodgers territory. But Clinton, I definitely want to talk about the store more storylines to come but we want you to consider supporting our

show with some sweet d t-tie year visit the dodgers territory shop pick yourself up a t-shirt a hoodie a mug a duffel bag whatever your heart desires look good for the new year while directly supporting us at the ft network look good when you go to the gym uh and when you sign up for that new gym membership and then quit it two weeks later because you know we're all going to do that because that's what we do at this time of year right dodgers territory shop dot com you can scan that QR code all of the things We're talking here. That was Storyline 1. I'm calling that all Storyline 1.

That was Storyline 1. That's fair. That's fair. We got off tangents a little bit, but that's okay. Storyline 2, Clint Piscius, as you so well planned here, how will the front office manage the 40-man roster? If you look at the 40-man roster right now, it breaks down to 24 pitchers. Of course, that includes starters and relievers, obvi, 15 position players.

And then a guy by the name of Shohei Otani, who doesn't take up either spot. He takes up both of them. So how does this look to you? Okay? Because they don't have anywhere to go right now. If they were to sign some more folks, some of these lists, some of these names are coming off of the list, which I think brings you to your next point of who is, I'm not saying not valuable guys. I'm saying dispensable to either a, free up some space for us to make it a better better. better picture for the roster and B,

give these guys some opportunities to play more someplace else. Yeah, I mean, we'll get into the DFA guys for a second. That is a lot of bodies. That is absolutely a lot of, well, this 40 is 40 human men that occupy the 40 men roster. I'll put the thing back up on the screen there. Like you said, if the Dodgers, our whole first segment of the show is talking about, are they done? Are they going to make additions?

Well, you can't make additions without at least one subtraction. And that is just the world that we live in here. That could be in a trade or that DFA route that you're mentioning. We'll reiterate. We are not saying that we want these guys gone. We are just saying that they are either a surplus or, like you said, better serve with an opportunity elsewhere. These are, what is that? Five dudes at least.

There's probably one more in there. I mean, I could have made the argument to have Will Klein highlight. lighted on this list. But of the names, no disrespect to any of them. Anthony Bonda, Paul Gervais, Bobby Miller, Estuary, Ruiz, and Michael Ciani, and Outfield Day. This picked up a couple of weeks ago.

If they needed immediate spot, Ruiz is probably the first guy getting DFA'd, but if you need a bunch of roster space, those are the guys that are probably first on the chopping block. You know, that's one of the things I'm watching. If they are

going to add a position, player, if they're going to add another pitcher, they're going to need to create space. If they go that route, it is what it is. But they have a lot of bodies. You know, I think, again, I'll reiterate, I think they could stand pat and it not be the worst situation. There's a lot of surplus for sure on the roster. There's redundancy on the roster.

And I'm saying it like in the best way possible. Again, no disrespect to these people. There are 12, there are 12 starting pitching options heading into spring training. as it stands right now. You guys see him on the screen. Yes, not everybody is going to break camp as a starter. Ben Casparis, Justin Rebleski, and Kyle Hurt probably will and need to be in the bullpen. But Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Shohei Otane, Tyler Glasnow, Amichian, Gavin Stone, Roki Sasaki, and then River Ryan. Those are the guys that are going to be right at the top of that starting rotation and in that conversation. And, you know, those final three, that's going to be

a fun competition coming out of spring training, particularly with Sasaki, you know, River Ryan and then Sheen and Gavin Stone coming back from the shoulder surgery. That's another big storyline as well. How do they come back? Yeah, I know. That's it. And you know, we're going to talk more about this too. I don't think we made as much noise as we probably could have talking about certain guys that were, you know, under the radar for the team last year and in 2022. So we'll talk about that a little bit more in our next show. But I think that we have an opportunity to start this season with a roster that's pretty

dang set already, you know? And I think that's okay. And again, I was blown away by the Edwin Diaz situation. There's some topics or some comments here in our chat about the red slacks are we're inquiring about. Tyler Glasnow. I don't think that Tyler Gladnow is somebody that the daughters are willing to move. Yeah. So the truth seeker, Doc R.B. Thanks for the $10 super chat. We appreciate it. I guys. Hope you had a good X-Mess. We did. Hearing Boston has inquired about Glasnow. Yeah, right. She and for Duran, which is interesting. I think that's interesting, actually. She and for Duran is interesting. You think Friedman trades, or they sign for agent outfield along with Bo and or Akamoto. So. I don't know the Akamoto one. I don't know what I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think it's, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I think it's. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't that it's Akamoto actually. Going back to that, I'll circle back on that in a second. So Sheehan for Duran is interesting to me because Emmett Sheehan I think has a lot of upside. But

Emmett Sheehan doesn't really have a spot in this rotation. Emmett Sheehan would absolutely have a spot in the Boston rotation. They are struggling to find anybody besides obviously now they have Sunny Gray, but he's not really a number two. And that's what he's going to be for Boston because they have Garrett Crochet as their ace, and then they have Sunny Gray. And then they don't have Lucas Goli-O anymore. Brian Bayo is still on, you know, he's still coming up, but he's not necessarily the answer. They have a lot of young arms and a lot of unproven talent in that starting rotation. So that's an interesting, because the Dodgers need an outfielder, right? That can, a good defensive outfielder. That kind of fills that need. Emmett Sheehan, that would give him more

playing time. I could see that happen over a Tyler Glassnow trade. Yeah, you got a trade from an area of surplus. Again, they have, I'll throw it back on the screen. You got a lot of starting pitching options there. Tyler Glassnow, you know, he signed an extension here. He was told by Andrew Friedman that he is not going anywhere. Arguably, Emmett Sheen has more value between the two just because he is still cheap. He is young. He is under

team control coming off of a pretty dang good season. Underrated season by the way, coming back from Tommy John. If Boston was open to that, a one for one deal or if it's, you know, Sheehan and, you know, one more of those

guys, hey, Bobby Miller getting a change of scenery there or something like that. Mixing Anthony Bonda, you get a veteran lefty reliever added to that Boston mix. to get Jaron Duran. Somebody can play left field, who can play center field, has a bunch of speed, a good amount of pop. That would be another, I mean, I've loved Jaron Duran for a long time.

Use your assets. They need to use their assets. And then that helps with that stacked 40-man roster issue, like we said, heading into this. You got to clear the space. Trading is probably the best route. And Jaron's a gamer. I like him a lot. He's a ball player.

He's a gritty guy. He's great in the clubhouse. I've heard some rumors that he's not a team player. That's absolute BS. He's a good, good clubhouse guy. His teammates love him. They love playing for him. They love being around him.

So I would absolutely welcome him into the Dodgers Clubhouse anytime. And I think what the truth seeker was talking about was Kazuma Okamoto, who is a Japanese infielder that apparently Clinton, drawing some significant interest from multiple teams.

labeled even as a perfect fit for a certain clubs. I don't know that the Dodgers are one of those perfect fits for him. But the guy is he's like the next big thing, right? Or one of the next big things, I should say, coming out of Japan 32 batting average last season. We'll see. There were original reports that said he wasn't going to sign with a major league baseball team in December,

which is almost over. So we'll see what happens in terms of the posting and the availability, but that's who he was talking about Okamoto. So there you have that. Again, this is all, it's fun to spitball. It's fun to, you know, of course, kick the tires on everybody because it's fun to spend other people's money. And the Dodgers don't have a significant amount of holes.

But I do love the, I would be totally fine with Emmett Sheehan to give him more opportunities, man. If Emmett Shee could pitch every fifth day, good for him. And to get Jaron Duran, and maybe that solves the, maybe that solves the outfield issue a little bit. I don't know. G.I. is not a big fan of trading for a platoon bat, which, Jared Duran, I understand, like, if the Dodgers desperately, desperately needed Emmett Sheehan, yeah, I would not want to make that trade.

But you have Gavin Stone coming back. Certainly, Stoner is a question mark coming off of the shoulder surgery. That is something we'll talk more about as we get closer to spring training. But that is an area of concern coming back from shoulder injury. But she's not going to make the Dodger starting a rotation, GI. So at this point. I best, he's going to be a sixth guy. At this point, isn't it fair to say it's kind of Emmett's spot to lose?

As the fifth starter? Fifth or sixth starter. They're going to try everything they can. Roki will be in that starting rotation. Doesn't necessarily mean he breaks, you know, camp with the team. Likely, maybe potentially does, but they want to, they want him to be a starting pitcher. So that really just makes one spot. Gavin Stone was having an all-star campaign, you know, in 2024 before the shoulder gave on him.

Amichita is happy, healthy, and two-time, well, I guess technically not two-time. Well, anyways, he's coming off of a World Series championship season was really good in the starting rotation. It gives to me, like right now, the point I'm getting to is that he's kind of earned that spot and he's healthy. Tell me your rotation right now. Who's your race? Who's the opening day started?

Well, that would be Yoshi for sure. I'll put this up because I pretty much gave it away here on the left side of the screen. Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Shohei Otani, Tyler, Glas. now Emmett She and Gavin Stone. I don't have Roki Sasaki in my starting rotation. If I had my say about it, which I don't. But the Dodgers

will have Roki Sasaki in that starting rotation to open the season or in a starting role to open the season, whether it's with the big leagues or at the AAA level, which I think they would have that would be a tough pill to swallow. But it's, yeah,

that competition is, injuries aside, that competition has come down to, you know two guys for one spot stone she and or maybe they hold stone back as far as i've heard he's had a full like healthy and and full uh off season workload so he should be ready to go for for uh you know spring training but yeah those are the things to watch gang again and these are all good things um that that are fun to talk about and i'm okay with it i think before we move on here i need to uh tell Riano Keeves, number one. I was waiting for it.

He could go somewhere. Listen, Rihano Keeves. Martin Wallin is not overrated. You Rihanna Keeves are overrated. All right, guys. Appreciate the conversation, as always. We'd love hearing what you guys have to say. Again, we're not experts, but we pretend like we are on television, which is what we're

doing right now. So, all right, let's wrap things up. Let's get to last looks. All right, guys. So this is Peyton. I have introduced you to her before. This little lady was living in a house. Unfortunately, her owner passed away,

and then the owner's husband was going to take her to a high-kill shelter. So we took her under our family at Gidre's Guardian Foundation five months ago in July, actually, July 27th. She needs an adopter. She is super sweet. She's nine-month-old pity mix, or excuse me, nine-year-old pity mix. She's very, very sweet, very gentle. Just needs a couple of walks a day. She's not high maintenance.

She's probably best in a home with no other dogs or at least dogs her size. No, you know, no little dogs or timid dogs or other senior dogs. She just likes her piece, but she's a sweetheart. If you're interested in learning more about Peyton, she's being fostered in the Santa Clarita area. But a forever home is what she needs. So there you have that, Clint. Go help out Peyton. about the dogs.

The guy goes to the giddries guardian.org. Get yourself a dog for the new year, as long as you're a responsible pet owner. Correct. Don't get a dog as a gift. Don't be the Kardashians for the love of God. I mean, you could just, I really want that to be like a license plate frame.

Don't be the Kardashians. Live by that life. They do do the opposite. Anyway, moving on. Well, I mean, they do make a lot of money. That's not my thought for the road. Yeah. Yeah, just because you're loaded doesn't mean you're a good person.

Anyway, that's also not my thought for the road. road. My thought for the road, Clint, is that this baseball offseason has been so boring. It's been a little bit of a challenge for sure.
