Speaker 1 (00:00):
So if you're looking for an example of what the
Dodgers could do or Kyle Tucker, look to Alex Bregman
last year with the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hello everybody, and welcome to a brand new live edition
of Dodgers Territory on this Monday, December fifteenth. That is
Clint to see us. I am Alana Rizzo. We are
excited that you are here. We are grateful that you
are here. We have hit fourteen thousand subs. It's something
that we've been trying to get to. Still trying to
get to fifteen k. Guys, we need your help to
get their rates five stars. Like and subscribe to DT
(00:41):
podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your pods, and
certainly on YouTube as well. Happy to have you a
little different type of show today, Clint. We are going
to welcome the newest member of the Dodgers Beat here
to Dodgers' Territory. You know her, of course, Wu does
a tremendous job covering baseball for the Athletics. She was
(01:04):
on Cardinals Territory and now she is on the Dodgers Beat.
Welcome Katie. Great to have you. The Dodgers nation is
very lucky to have you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
How are you so?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I feel lucky to be here. Thanks a lot of thanks.
Good for having me. Yeah, it's a little bit different
from my Cardinal Territory platform for went.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Out, but I am super excited.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's been one whole week on the Dodgers beat and
all they did was go out and sign the best
closer available. So pretty normal standard like go right into
it stuff, I guess for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Yeah, I'm assuming it's got to be real fun having
like I mean, the last couple of years have been
a little tough for the Cardinals, so having big names
the bit, you know, an organization that is always in
the you know, the biggest names and all that kind
of stuff, free agency, it's gonna be a fun time.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
It's been a fun time. We're happy to have you here, guys.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I'll suggest get your questions comments in for Katie and
for us, get those into live chat.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
We're going to have an unofficial uh DT A m
A a little bit later.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Butriz Gang, I think we should dive into the rumor
mill first, because you know, Katie's on her ship and
we're gonna dive into all of that right now.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
So let's get into rumor, has it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Katie hard hitting one?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Everybody wants to know. Is Trek Schooble going to be
in Los Angeles?
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Is that just hot stove chatter? Katie Woo? Is it
just dying down? Is it happening? What say you?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think what's interesting about this particular potential trade package
is not that the Dodgers aren't in it. I think
the Dodgers have well established that they're in for basically anything.
I think why we keep hearing these the Tigers and
the Dodgers connected for school rumors is because Los Angeles
is simply one of the only teams that can pull
off a trade if they want to. And the Dodgers,
as we've seen, will go out and do things simply
(02:57):
because they can. So, when you're looking at the prospect
capital required to trade for school who has just one
year remaining of control before.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
He's a free agent.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The Dodgers have the farm system depth, of course, and
that matters because they also have plenty of depth in
their starting rotation. Not many organizations right now can afford
to trade away from their starting pitching depth, all right,
the Dodgers they can. Then you're looking at what kind
of money would take to keep him, Because this is
my speculation, any team that trades for terg School and
is going to give up that much of a prospect
capital should extend him.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well. I think we've also.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Establish from Dodgers' ownership that spending money is not necessarily
a big deal, So the Dodgers also have the resources
to extend him. I think when there's smoke, there's not
always fire. But here this is something worth watching again
because the Dodgers are one of the only teams that
can actually put off this deal. If the Tigers do
indeed attempt to trade Schoogle.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, it feels like that if they can't get that
extension done, maybe the Dodger package could be a little
bit smaller. It's really hard to see that an extension
being done with the you know, we'll see a Schoogle's
agent there and set to make a lot of money
on the.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Free agent market next off season.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
There's another name that's been kind of in the mix
with this whole thing, Tyler Glassaw, who said on MLB
Network Radio over the weekend that Andrew Friedman told him
he's not going to be traded. Sure, that's probably what
you tell a player when he still has a chance
of pitching for your organization next year. But what can
you tell us about the whole glass now rumor where
to kind of start? And you know, from what you
(04:23):
understand is pretty uh? Is Andrew accurate in Andrew or
in Tyler not being traded?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Sorry? I got a lot of buttons here, distracted, But.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm impressed on the technicals of this podcast because long
time listeners of Cardinal Territory know that I did not
look like this. So you're doing great as far as
I'm concerned. Let's let's talk a little b about Tyler Glass. Now,
I think I've worked on the beat for seven days,
so who am I to say Andrew Friedman isn't truthful
if he's telling Tyler glassaw, he's not going to be traded.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That probably makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Now, things change very frequently in hot Stove season. Negotiations
that were happening a week ago have fallen off the table,
names that weren't discussed previously, or all of a sudden
back in. What's important to remember here as we get
into the thick of postwinter meetings is that this is
an ever evolving situation. I'm not just talking about the Dodgers.
I'm talking about the industry as a whole. So when
you're looking again at Los Angeles and they're pitching depth,
(05:16):
they have arguably probably the best.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Pitching depth in baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know, the Brewers are up there, the Worlds are
up there, but in terms of talent and availability, it's
surprise it's the Dodgers far and away. So if you're
looking to maybe acquire Schoogle, yeah, you'd float around some
guys with like Tyler glassnow that have clear status at
the top of a rotation.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But again, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Really think that that is now that we know what
Andrew Freeman has said, that realistic of a situation is
something that probably could have been talked about, something that
maybe was discussed earlier. But because things are always changing
here and especially with Los Angeles, we'll get into the
stuff with Edmund Diaz things. I'm sure it just things
are going to be thrown out there again because they're
capable of doing it. Just because the team is capable
(05:58):
of doing something doesn't mean they actually will.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You talked about Edwin Dyas, and that was where I
was going next, Katie Andrew Friedman at Edwin Dyas's introduction
the press conference, he kind of gave a small peek
into perhaps what they were looking for in their pursuit
of a beat, adding a position player, he said, someone
that's really good on both sides of the ball. There
are a lot of interesting guys on the free agent
and trade market that we're having a lot of active
(06:22):
conversations on. We feel good about something lining up and
may have to be a little patient. What do you
read from this?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So Andrew Friedman said at the winter meetings with reporters
that he would not rule himself out of signing another
free agent. And when I'm looking at how the Dodgers
are stacking up again, cost is not really that much
of an issue, but the terms of a contract and
the length of the contract, just based on the average
age of the roster comes into play. So every free agent,
like the top free agent that fans want to know
(06:51):
about obviously is Kyle Tucker. We reported under the Athletic
last week that the Dodgers are in on Kyle Tucker.
They're in on everybody, but it would have to be
more of a three to four four year term deal
rather than a six or seven that Tucker's believed to
be coming. And the reason for that is, again because
of the average age of the roster.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Kyle Tucker is approaching his thirties.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You don't want to have him locked down until his
thirty seven thirty eight season because that's what most of
your roster looks like. When you get to that point
of that, you know that timeline. So if you're looking
for an example of what the Dodgers could do for
Kyle Tucker, look to Alex Bregman.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Last year with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Bregman had a six year deal with the Detroit Tigers
on the table, he had a four year deal with
a lower AAV for the Cubs. He took the high
AAV lowest year offer with the Red Sox, and that
as I think a way that the Dodgers could go
to land Kyle Tucker. Now that's on Tucker. If he
wants to take a three or four year deal with
a higher AAV, Dodgers are a place to do that.
(07:46):
If he wants the longevity six seven years, I don't
see LA offering that, and that's again just goes to
what we talked about with the average age of the roster.
That's what Kyle Tucker has earned. To make that decision
as a free agent. But the Dodgers are absolutely in
play here on a contract that's more their term. So
to me, the Alex Bregman contract from last year and
how those deals played out is a pretty good example.
If you're looking to kind of compare these situations, then,
(08:08):
of course, Cody Bellinger a longtime friend, familiar franchise for
the for the Dodgers looking for. You know, we've seen
some reports around the five year mark. I don't see
the Dodgers doing that. I see them maybe looking at
Bellinger for a lower term, you know, two three years,
maybe not to the extent of a potential Kyle Tucker deal,
but a little less than that. I don't see the
Dodgers going out and splurging a Kyle Schwarber esque contract
(08:30):
for Cody Bellinger, you know, like a five year, one
fifty and sixty that I don't see happening. Again, it's
not necessarily because of costs, it's because of age and longevity.
But I would not be surprised at all before you know,
in the next couple of weeks, month or so, that
we're having another massive free agent signing, because that's what
the Dodgers do. And that's what I have to get
used to, because I'm not exactly used to back coming
from Saint Louis.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, I said, they're in on everybody every time. Even
when you don't hear anything, they're probably in on somebody.
The whole Edwin Dias thing definitely came out of nowhere.
Another name the Dodgers have been linked to. Of course,
you did some reporting about this as well. We got
a screen about that Brendan Donovan, somebody who has seems
like he's more likely to go to either Seattle or
(09:12):
the Giants in your opinion right now, in your purview,
in your reporting, what can you tell us about the
Dodgers interest in Brendan Donovan? Is this somebody who does
seem to make you a fair amount of sense for
the team and the positional versatility, understanding how much that
is important to the Dodgers, Because I mean, reading or
hearing and seeing what Andrew said to to Kirsten Watson
(09:33):
last week, it seems like they're not necessarily marrying themselves
to needing an outfielder, even though we believe they need
an outfielder. Maybe there's a chance I can get a
second basement or third base and move move some pieces around,
and that's something Donovan could do.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
He could play everywhere.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
As you know covering him the last few years, what
can you tell us about him and the latest with
that trademarket.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So Brendan Donovan is essentially Tommy Edmond again. And that
was part of the reason why the Cardinals were comp
trading Tommy Edmund to Los Angeles in twenty twenty four
is because they had Brendan Donovan coming up as that
sort of super utility player that the Cardinals are very
very good at drafting and finding. When you're looking at
how Brendan Donnvan fits into the trade market, obviously he's
been one of the most talked about names in this offseason.
(10:15):
We saw the Mariners and the Giants emerge his front runners.
That doesn't mean that he's absolutely going to Seattle or
San Francisco. The Cardinals could still have to keep him
if they don't like the prospect return. But those are
the two that I've really jumped out as really solidfying
themselves and willing to necessarily may not overpay, but pay
more than other organizations are willing to do. Now, how
Brendan Donovan could fit in. Well, that's exactly just picture
(10:36):
what Tommy Edmund does. Tommy Edmond's coming back from.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
An ankle surgery.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The team is optimistic that he will be ready for
opening day, though he'll probably be delayed for spring training
coming back from an ankle injury. Though, especially Tommy's injury history,
I mean, no one is questioning his grit.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I watched him play for five years. He's a baller,
he's a gamer, but you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Might want to take it slow, especially when you have
a lot of other players on the roster that can
go out and fill it. So if you have another
birth time player like Tommy Edmond or like Brendan Donovan,
excuse me, they're so similar.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
That would obviously help the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And Donovan can play all around the diamond short, he
can play second base, both corner outfields, he can play
short stuff, he can play third if necessary. So he's
just kind of one of those pick and plug kind
of players that the Dodgers seem to really do well with. Now,
what I'm looking for, or what the Dodgers are looking
for necessarily in a trade package is cost certainty.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And with Brendan Donovan, you know, that's exactly what you're
going to get.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So you can go out and take a flyer or
take a trade for someone thinking about another left you
with the Cardinals like Lars Newpar. Lars Newpar has a
lot of high upside, but a lot of it is unproven.
Brendan Donovan has been one of the more consistent middle
infielders in the National League for the past two seasons.
He's coming off one of his best seasons of his career.
If you're the Dodgers, you don't need to take a risk.
You're not looking to part with your prospects to take
(11:48):
a risk, like what are you risking for? You are
going to trade for something that you know brings back
a certain level of play and caliber.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And I think that's what made Brendan Donovan so enticing
to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Versatility. That's all the Dodgers look for, or they love
those types of players that can bring six seven, eight
gloves to the yard. All right, Katie, great stuff, so
far much more to come here on Dodger's territory. We're
going to get to know Katie will a little bit better.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
But we're calling this the unofficial dt AMA with Katie
Wu and you've already touched on it there in the
first segment, Katie, but listen, I mean all due respect
to the Cardinals and thing. All teams are big league teams,
but this is kind of a different animal here. When
you're talking about coming to the Dodgers beat, what are
the things you're most looking forward to in you know,
(14:26):
being at Dodger Stadium eighty one times plus, you.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Know, through the World Series and all that kind of stuff.
What excites you the most.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's such a good question, and it's partially I mean,
it's one of the things I considered because.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Leaving Saint Louis was a hard decision.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I know that trajectory of the franchise right now it
does not look amazing, but I really have five incredible
years there with a very professional, stand up organization, and.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Leaving that was hard.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I know the on field product isn't exactly what Cardinals
fans have been used to, but the people in that
organization are our top tier. So leaving a place where
you're comfortable is never easy. But it's all so a
sign that you should probably leave.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
And when I was thinking about what the Cardinals roster
was going to look like over the next couple of
years and what the Dodgers roster looks like right now,
you want to go where the stars are and to
be able to cover in chronicle Shoe Hoo, Tani, Mookie Bets,
Freddie Freeman, Edwin Digaz.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Now you go down the list, a twenty six man
roster full of studs, and there's so much interest in
the Dodgers right now. We probably should have had two
athletic writers on the Dodgers beat for a while. But
the opportunity to be able to sit there and cover,
you know, not just the stars of the game, but
a dynasty in this organization, one of the most influential teams,
not just in baseball but in professional sports, and of
(15:38):
course being from California and being able to come back home,
it just felt like a can't miss situation. And I
have never felt in the middle of December ready for
the baseball season to start.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I've never once experienced that emotion.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But I am really excited for spring training, to be
able to get boots on the ground and I meet
the clubhouse and start doing actual reporting. I got a
little taste of that at the Winter meetings until I
lost my voice.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
That was sick. But I think when you're just.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Looking at the kind of a game that covering the
Dodgers makes you bring every day.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
That's what I'm excited about the most.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
How do I know?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
How do we know that you're not a spy for
the San Francisco Giants and that you're infiltrating the Dodgers
clubhouse and the Dodgers dugout to bring it to your
friends up north?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Missus.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I'm from California, but from northern California.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, you see how I left that out. Okay, Cat's
on the back, all right, fan, Sorry Dodgers fans.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
My family was a little taken aback when I said
what team I was covering. But you know what, I
didn't like the Cardinals growing up either, so and I
think it turned out okay. But I will say it's
it's funny you both know this as soon as you
get into the professional world that none of that matters anymore.
(16:53):
And anyway, it makes me feel like, Okay, if I
was still a fan, what would I want? What I
want from my beat reporter, what would I want from
you know, my media coverage. That's the only way I
really think of being a fan anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I even I'll go out and say this.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
When I was living in the Central Coast time I
would come home and if there was a West Coast
game on, I would turn on the Dodgers because they
were the more compelling team to watch.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
So, yes, I grew up a Giants fan.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Dodgers fans. You don't have to worry about it. I
am loyally yours. Well, we all have things.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That we'd like to forget, so hopefully you can accept that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, here's a funny story, though, what is your baseball
So I'm sorry Clinda to talk about what is your
baseball story? Like, how did you become so interested in
the sport and how did it become so ingrained in
your DNA?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, great question.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I grew up and my dad loved baseball, and we
would go and we'd watch either A's or Giants every day,
and it just became away after school, after practice, homework, whatever,
to come home and be able to watch a few
Inians with my dad because I was never allowed to
stay up to watch.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
The whole game. And then in the morning I come down, I.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The box scores in the newspaper, and it was just
like a routine. And when I got older and I
started figuring out what I wanted to be in my career,
I really had no idea but I'd always liked writing
in high school, and I went to Arizona State. They
actually had a sports journalism program, so I thought, you know,
I've watched baseball my whole life.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I love it. I'm obsessed with this, and I was
a good writer in high school.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I wonder if I could combine the two, and right place,
right time, right organization at Arizona State kind of led
me here now, and I still talk to my dad
about baseball every day. He is becoming like a Dodger's encyclopedia,
so much so that when the Dodgers signed Edwin Diaz
at the winter meetings, obviously we're scrambling.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I was like in line to get a coffee, and.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I see like Dodgers to the Dias when it came
out of nowhere, like the whole beat was like, what
is happening? And very rarely does that happen. So I'm scrambling.
We get the story up. Bobby and I are working together.
Two hours later, my dad texted me, I heard Dodgers
sign Dias.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You're in You're in your little way, but you are
invested in this organization now.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
So new way Dodgers always welcoming new fans regardless of
their previous affiliation.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
So I think you are in a.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Prime You are in a perfect position to be accosted
with this question. We've heard over the last couple of
off seasons the Dodgers are ruining baseball.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
What's your take on that narrative. I'm kind of curious.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So when you think about a team spending money and
investing it back into the organization, how that could be bad?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, if the Dodgers are I could get on board
with that narrative, if they were just buying free agents
and like just completely leaving their prospect minor leage system
in the dust.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Not.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
The Dodgers are obviously have a leg up because they're
able to spend. Every owner is able to spend, though, Okay,
this is not like a one off, like the Dodgers
are the only ownership group in baseball that can spend money. Okay,
thirty out of thirty owners can spend money. The Dodgers
just choose to spend it in a wild way, and
that's their right. But they're not just buying free agents. Okay,
when you look at the Dodgers farm system, whether it's
(19:58):
through amateur scout, whether it's through international scouting, whether it's
the prospects that they come out with, professional scouting and trades.
Every single element that they do in terms of building
a backbone for a franchise is top tier organizations are
modeling what the Dodgers are doing in the minor league system.
And while some markets might not be able to compare
to LA or New York spending wise, every market can
(20:21):
invest in fighting the right people in resources to build
a draft and development club like the Dodgers can.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
So no, I don't think they're ruining in baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I actually think that they've set the standard on how
to run a baseball organization outside of the spending, which
is a different category. But when you look at how
they're building their depth. Their entire opening day rotation was
on the injury list last year, and because they had
enough depth and resources in their minor league system, they
were just fine.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Obviously it wasn't I'm not going to diminish it. I'm
sure it was very difficult for Dave Roberts to go
through that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know, Dave, if you're listening to that, I'm not
saying that you have like an easy job with six
starters on the IL, but they had so much depth
in their system to be able to supplement that until
their starters were healthy for his active The Cardinals had
one picture in Tripaa that they felt confident in all season,
so they essentially did a six man rotation and had
no backup, and it led almost exactly to their demise
(21:11):
right now. So, no, the Dodgers are not ruining baseball.
They are setting the standard on how to build a
good sustainable baseball team, even if you can't spend money.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What makes you more excited covering the Dodgers beat or
West Coast Hip hop at Nellie's Gala?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, so I'm still recovering from that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
That that was fun. That was a really fun time
my last weekend in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Nellie does a big, big Saint Louis Guy obviously a
charity gala every year.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I was lucky enough to go. Last year was Neo.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
This year was busta rhymes. A great time, great time.
I already miss it. I can't wait for next year.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh just wait till the Dodgers have their gala. Every year,
you will blow you.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
They haven't done the gala last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What the hell I'll get back to its.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Fleetwood Mac.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We had Fleetwood Mac, we had Maroon five, Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It was Jennifer Lopez. I mean it is.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It is off the chain, all right. Let me ask
you this one more question before we get to Clint.
Big Farah cat Lady tell us.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
About meep Oh my gosh. I love her so much.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
She is actually locked in my bedroom right now because
she will overtake the show. Yeah, I'm a sucker. I
love to rescue animals. I can't keep them, but I
know a lot of Like every time you posted about
a dog, I'm like, should I get that dog?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
For for whatever reason, this tiny little cat that my
mom found in a Sam's Club parking lot was so sweet,
so so like sick, and I was like, I'll take
care of her all, foster her back to life, foster fail.
Immediately fell in love with her. And I don't know
what happened with the sweet part, because she is a demon.
I don't know if like my tendency is like off
on her.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't know, but we're.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Locked in and she's really excited to get out of
to be a back to California five years in Missouri.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
She survived, So back to back to California, we go.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Welcome home, Kitty. What's it called meat Meat?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, that was a nickname that I gave her so
I didn't get too attached. And then I got attached,
and I didn't want to.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Change her name because I didn't want to give her
like an identity crisis. You know.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yeah, that is that is fair.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Usually the nicknames they seem to they seem to stick
a couple of a couple of fun ones for you.
Here from the chat Maddie Man five Dodge and Justin
Lamas Yamas asking what's the deferral situation if you're covering
the Dodgers, obviously there needs to be deferrals in your contract.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Joke.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, no, that's pretty funny. That actually my editor.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Someone emailed my editor that like, did you give Katie
deferrals in her contract? A very sad Cardinals fan who
thought it was hilarious. So, no deferrals in my contract. Guys,
you're here for the long one.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Hopefully.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
We also got Don kim Is a happy subscriber from
the Athletic or of the Athletic and asking, outside of
covering the Dodgers, what are the things you're most looking
forward to getting ingrained into la?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, so outside right now it is seven degrees. Yesterday
was it was three degrees. That's a singular digit. That's
not a real temperature. So being able to go outside
is something that I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Seeing. The ocean would be nice right now.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I got like the river, so that's cool. But yeah,
definitely I thought I was a seasons girl.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm not. I'm not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I need seventy degrees every day, sand walks outside, sunshine.
I don't think it's like the first sunny day in
like ten days here and it's still twenty degrees, So
that would be it.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
The weather.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
That Hollywood lifestyle there it is.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
The aj Perzinski, our pal of the foul Territory Network,
kid's calling me Hollywood woo, and I'm like, ay.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Don't start with me. There is no Hollywood life style here. Okay,
I'm a ball rid.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Well if he was doing that better, wouldn't it just
be like holl well come on now, exactly a better
be better.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
There's a couple of things in here though that justin
Yamas continues to say that I'm like, no, I'm not.
First of all, yes, everyone, I understand, I was born
and raised in Colorado. Colorado doesn't have a rivalry with anybody,
so stop.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
It, Okay, Rocky Stile.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Northern California and southern California have a rivalry. The Giants
and the.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Dodgers have a rivalry. Colorado doesn't have a rivalry with anybody,
So save it all. Right, there you have it. I
don't know there was something else in here that I
was looking at.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
The well, why you find it a lot? I have
another one. So you grew up, we'll say nor Cal.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I'm just gonna say that maybe probably potentially rooting for
not the Dodgers. What was like a favorite kind of
memory of Dodgers Giants rivalry or early on.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh man, my my aunt had season tickets for a
long time, and I can I can't remember how many
Giants Sawder's games we go to.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And I'm not gonna say that beat l A was chanted. Okay,
you know it was passionate. If there's anything I can understand,
it's a passionate fan. And I think it was just
that peak rivalry.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I was lucky to grow up in Sorry Dodgers fans,
plug your ears. Like I was in high school for
twenty ten, twenty twelve, twenty fourteen, So the Giants dynasty
was like.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Wow, your baby compressed.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I know, but it was the best five year run
as a fan that I could remember because it was
each each year that they did it, it was in
a different way, and I just I can empathize with
fans now with their dynasty. Don't ever let anyone.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Take that away from you, because winning in baseball is fleeting.
It might not feel that way in LA right now,
it probably won't for a while, but I still now,
you know, ten years later, think back to that insane
run that the Giants went on, and it just solidified
why baseball is the best word.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
All right, one question for me and then I'm done.
A favorite player out of Arizona State Barry Bonds, Andre Ethier,
Dustin Pedroia or Austin Barnes.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I'm sorry, I have to go Barry Bonds. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. But fun fact about Barry Bonds.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I was hiking in the murd Headlands like eight years ago,
and I was lost, and my friend, who knows nothing
about sports, flagged down a biker while I was walking
the other way, trying to find any any kind of map,
and this biker was very fit, very athletics, super nice.
I remember looking ahead, like, oh, he has a really
nice smile, and I'm walking up more and more and
he waves and says goodbye, and it was Barry Bonds.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And I was like, and.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
My friend had no idea who she was talking to.
And I was like, you just haves Berry Bonds for
directions and she was like, yeah, who, Like who's that?
And I was like, oh, oh my gosh, So shout
out Barry Bonds, because I might still be stuck in
the mud headlands if he did not help us, help
my poor friend and I off the mountain.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
That's that's pretty great. What are the chances of that?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I was so mad.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, we're happy you're here.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
We're happy you're bringing your baseball fandom to cover the
Dodgers in a way that hopefully the fans appreciate. Obviously,
Faby and our dad does a fantastic job, and we're
looking forward to a different approach, different perspective, and you
guys also collaborating. I will flip you the bird. Great
name in the chats is welcome to the family. Katie
gave us that super chat Phil as well, saying, you know,
(28:15):
it's gold welcoming you to this team. A lot of
love for Katie Woo and the chat, and we're excited
to have you on. Have you around here. Of course
in some capacity we'll figure out what that all.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Looks like moving forward. Yes, for today, we appreciate you
hanging out with us. Katie.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
You got it. Guys, thanks so much for having me.
I'll see you both very soon.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Dodger fans, I'm really excited to get to know you
and hopefully morning soon.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Give her a follow on the social media. She breaks
things as well. She's like like many mini mini Ken Rosenthal,
but not.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Really I want to be junior.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Appreciate it, Katie, that's a lot of fun, a lot
of what do you say we tell people about a doggo,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Great, Katie, you're moving to southern California. Havanah needs a home.
Havanah went on a trial adoption with another one of
our Guidry's guardian foundation alone unfortunately didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
The resident dog not.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Super psyched about having a younger puppy around.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Havannah is just really energetic.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
She's a great dog, but she's a puppy, so she
has a lot of energy.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Can you please share her? She needs an adopter.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
She's a great girl, she's healthy, spade, leash trained, great trained,
potty trained, all of the trained. But she just needs
a forever home. She'd be great in a solo dog home.
She'd also be great with another dog that likes to
play that matches her energy levels. So please, if you
have any questions about Havannah, hit me up on social
or check out Gidri's guardian dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Okay, this is tough, Clint. We you and I were
talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It earlier before the show started about how to handle
our thought for the road, and I'm just simply gonna
say that my heart and my thoughts and prayers are
with the family and friends. The closest connection to Rob
and Michelle Reiner obviously, baseball lost a huge baseball fan,
uh the Dodgers with this on X Earlier, the Dodgers
expressed our deep sorrow and share our condolences over the
(30:17):
passing of longtime fan Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner,
who allegedly killed yesterday evening by allegedly one of their sons.
Nick Reiner, this is obviously a tragedy for that family,
for those closest to him.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
He was a huge baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Born in New York, was always at games, had a
lot of different baseball references and innuendos, and all of
a lot of his work.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
On the big and small screen.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And his son, his other son, Jake, is also a
big LA Dodgers fan, does some stuff on the Dodgers beat.
Their daughter romy We feel for her as well. Just
our thoughts and prayers to those closest to him the
baseball world and in the in the world of cinema,
lost lost a giant.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean devastating news.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
And and the more you keep, you know, reading the story,
the more that keeps coming out.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
It's just it's it's awful. It's awful.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Uh yeah, I'm not gonna add too much more.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
You said it all there, thoughts, love, all of that
kind of stuff. Hug your loved ones. Friends.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, man, it's a it's a crazy story. It keeps unfolding.
Thanks you guys for watching us here today again.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Be good to Katie, follow her on social'll be nice
and have a good.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Rest of your week. Clinton and I are back on Thursday.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I had texted the Big Boss, Andrew Friedman to see
if he'll join us. So far, I haven't heard because
that's that's how much clouds I have.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
So we'll see you guys on Thursday, regular time. Go Dodgers.
Speaker 6 (31:51):
Bye,
So if you're looking for an example of what the
Dodgers could do or Kyle Tucker, look to Alex Bregman
last year with the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hello everybody, and welcome to a brand new live edition
of Dodgers Territory on this Monday, December fifteenth. That is
Clint to see us. I am Alana Rizzo. We are
excited that you are here. We are grateful that you
are here. We have hit fourteen thousand subs. It's something
that we've been trying to get to. Still trying to
get to fifteen k. Guys, we need your help to
get their rates five stars. Like and subscribe to DT
(00:41):
podcast on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your pods, and
certainly on YouTube as well. Happy to have you a
little different type of show today, Clint. We are going
to welcome the newest member of the Dodgers Beat here
to Dodgers' Territory. You know her, of course, Wu does
a tremendous job covering baseball for the Athletics. She was
(01:04):
on Cardinals Territory and now she is on the Dodgers Beat.
Welcome Katie. Great to have you. The Dodgers nation is
very lucky to have you.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
How are you so?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I feel lucky to be here. Thanks a lot of thanks.
Good for having me. Yeah, it's a little bit different
from my Cardinal Territory platform for went.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Out, but I am super excited.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's been one whole week on the Dodgers beat and
all they did was go out and sign the best
closer available. So pretty normal standard like go right into
it stuff, I guess for the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
Yeah, I'm assuming it's got to be real fun having
like I mean, the last couple of years have been
a little tough for the Cardinals, so having big names
the bit, you know, an organization that is always in
the you know, the biggest names and all that kind
of stuff, free agency, it's gonna be a fun time.
Speaker 6 (01:48):
It's been a fun time. We're happy to have you here, guys.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
I'll suggest get your questions comments in for Katie and
for us, get those into live chat.
Speaker 6 (01:56):
We're going to have an unofficial uh DT A m
A a little bit later.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Butriz Gang, I think we should dive into the rumor
mill first, because you know, Katie's on her ship and
we're gonna dive into all of that right now.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
So let's get into rumor, has it?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Katie hard hitting one?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Everybody wants to know. Is Trek Schooble going to be
in Los Angeles?
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Is that just hot stove chatter? Katie Woo? Is it
just dying down? Is it happening? What say you?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I think what's interesting about this particular potential trade package
is not that the Dodgers aren't in it. I think
the Dodgers have well established that they're in for basically anything.
I think why we keep hearing these the Tigers and
the Dodgers connected for school rumors is because Los Angeles
is simply one of the only teams that can pull
off a trade if they want to. And the Dodgers,
as we've seen, will go out and do things simply
(02:57):
because they can. So, when you're looking at the prospect
capital required to trade for school who has just one
year remaining of control before.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
He's a free agent.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
The Dodgers have the farm system depth, of course, and
that matters because they also have plenty of depth in
their starting rotation. Not many organizations right now can afford
to trade away from their starting pitching depth, all right,
the Dodgers they can. Then you're looking at what kind
of money would take to keep him, Because this is
my speculation, any team that trades for terg School and
is going to give up that much of a prospect
capital should extend him.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Well. I think we've also.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Establish from Dodgers' ownership that spending money is not necessarily
a big deal, So the Dodgers also have the resources
to extend him. I think when there's smoke, there's not
always fire. But here this is something worth watching again
because the Dodgers are one of the only teams that
can actually put off this deal. If the Tigers do
indeed attempt to trade Schoogle.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Yeah, it feels like that if they can't get that
extension done, maybe the Dodger package could be a little
bit smaller. It's really hard to see that an extension
being done with the you know, we'll see a Schoogle's
agent there and set to make a lot of money
on the.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
Free agent market next off season.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
There's another name that's been kind of in the mix
with this whole thing, Tyler Glassaw, who said on MLB
Network Radio over the weekend that Andrew Friedman told him
he's not going to be traded. Sure, that's probably what
you tell a player when he still has a chance
of pitching for your organization next year. But what can
you tell us about the whole glass now rumor where
to kind of start? And you know, from what you
(04:23):
understand is pretty uh? Is Andrew accurate in Andrew or
in Tyler not being traded?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Sorry? I got a lot of buttons here, distracted, But.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm impressed on the technicals of this podcast because long
time listeners of Cardinal Territory know that I did not
look like this. So you're doing great as far as
I'm concerned. Let's let's talk a little b about Tyler Glass. Now,
I think I've worked on the beat for seven days,
so who am I to say Andrew Friedman isn't truthful
if he's telling Tyler glassaw, he's not going to be traded.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
That probably makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Now, things change very frequently in hot Stove season. Negotiations
that were happening a week ago have fallen off the table,
names that weren't discussed previously, or all of a sudden
back in. What's important to remember here as we get
into the thick of postwinter meetings is that this is
an ever evolving situation. I'm not just talking about the Dodgers.
I'm talking about the industry as a whole. So when
you're looking again at Los Angeles and they're pitching depth,
(05:16):
they have arguably probably the best.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Pitching depth in baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know, the Brewers are up there, the Worlds are
up there, but in terms of talent and availability, it's
surprise it's the Dodgers far and away. So if you're
looking to maybe acquire Schoogle, yeah, you'd float around some
guys with like Tyler glassnow that have clear status at
the top of a rotation.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
But again, I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Really think that that is now that we know what
Andrew Freeman has said, that realistic of a situation is
something that probably could have been talked about, something that
maybe was discussed earlier. But because things are always changing
here and especially with Los Angeles, we'll get into the
stuff with Edmund Diaz things. I'm sure it just things
are going to be thrown out there again because they're
capable of doing it. Just because the team is capable
(05:58):
of doing something doesn't mean they actually will.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You talked about Edwin Dyas, and that was where I
was going next, Katie Andrew Friedman at Edwin Dyas's introduction
the press conference, he kind of gave a small peek
into perhaps what they were looking for in their pursuit
of a beat, adding a position player, he said, someone
that's really good on both sides of the ball. There
are a lot of interesting guys on the free agent
and trade market that we're having a lot of active
(06:22):
conversations on. We feel good about something lining up and
may have to be a little patient. What do you
read from this?
Speaker 1 (06:31):
So Andrew Friedman said at the winter meetings with reporters
that he would not rule himself out of signing another
free agent. And when I'm looking at how the Dodgers
are stacking up again, cost is not really that much
of an issue, but the terms of a contract and
the length of the contract, just based on the average
age of the roster comes into play. So every free agent,
like the top free agent that fans want to know
(06:51):
about obviously is Kyle Tucker. We reported under the Athletic
last week that the Dodgers are in on Kyle Tucker.
They're in on everybody, but it would have to be
more of a three to four four year term deal
rather than a six or seven that Tucker's believed to
be coming. And the reason for that is, again because
of the average age of the roster.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Kyle Tucker is approaching his thirties.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
You don't want to have him locked down until his
thirty seven thirty eight season because that's what most of
your roster looks like. When you get to that point
of that, you know that timeline. So if you're looking
for an example of what the Dodgers could do for
Kyle Tucker, look to Alex Bregman.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Last year with the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Bregman had a six year deal with the Detroit Tigers
on the table, he had a four year deal with
a lower AAV for the Cubs. He took the high
AAV lowest year offer with the Red Sox, and that
as I think a way that the Dodgers could go
to land Kyle Tucker. Now that's on Tucker. If he
wants to take a three or four year deal with
a higher AAV, Dodgers are a place to do that.
(07:46):
If he wants the longevity six seven years, I don't
see LA offering that, and that's again just goes to
what we talked about with the average age of the roster.
That's what Kyle Tucker has earned. To make that decision
as a free agent. But the Dodgers are absolutely in
play here on a contract that's more their term. So
to me, the Alex Bregman contract from last year and
how those deals played out is a pretty good example.
If you're looking to kind of compare these situations, then,
(08:08):
of course, Cody Bellinger a longtime friend, familiar franchise for
the for the Dodgers looking for. You know, we've seen
some reports around the five year mark. I don't see
the Dodgers doing that. I see them maybe looking at
Bellinger for a lower term, you know, two three years,
maybe not to the extent of a potential Kyle Tucker deal,
but a little less than that. I don't see the
Dodgers going out and splurging a Kyle Schwarber esque contract
(08:30):
for Cody Bellinger, you know, like a five year, one
fifty and sixty that I don't see happening. Again, it's
not necessarily because of costs, it's because of age and longevity.
But I would not be surprised at all before you know,
in the next couple of weeks, month or so, that
we're having another massive free agent signing, because that's what
the Dodgers do. And that's what I have to get
used to, because I'm not exactly used to back coming
from Saint Louis.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, I said, they're in on everybody every time. Even
when you don't hear anything, they're probably in on somebody.
The whole Edwin Dias thing definitely came out of nowhere.
Another name the Dodgers have been linked to. Of course,
you did some reporting about this as well. We got
a screen about that Brendan Donovan, somebody who has seems
like he's more likely to go to either Seattle or
(09:12):
the Giants in your opinion right now, in your purview,
in your reporting, what can you tell us about the
Dodgers interest in Brendan Donovan? Is this somebody who does
seem to make you a fair amount of sense for
the team and the positional versatility, understanding how much that
is important to the Dodgers, Because I mean, reading or
hearing and seeing what Andrew said to to Kirsten Watson
(09:33):
last week, it seems like they're not necessarily marrying themselves
to needing an outfielder, even though we believe they need
an outfielder. Maybe there's a chance I can get a
second basement or third base and move move some pieces around,
and that's something Donovan could do.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
He could play everywhere.
Speaker 5 (09:47):
As you know covering him the last few years, what
can you tell us about him and the latest with
that trademarket.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
So Brendan Donovan is essentially Tommy Edmond again. And that
was part of the reason why the Cardinals were comp
trading Tommy Edmund to Los Angeles in twenty twenty four
is because they had Brendan Donovan coming up as that
sort of super utility player that the Cardinals are very
very good at drafting and finding. When you're looking at
how Brendan Donnvan fits into the trade market, obviously he's
been one of the most talked about names in this offseason.
(10:15):
We saw the Mariners and the Giants emerge his front runners.
That doesn't mean that he's absolutely going to Seattle or
San Francisco. The Cardinals could still have to keep him
if they don't like the prospect return. But those are
the two that I've really jumped out as really solidfying
themselves and willing to necessarily may not overpay, but pay
more than other organizations are willing to do. Now, how
Brendan Donovan could fit in. Well, that's exactly just picture
(10:36):
what Tommy Edmund does. Tommy Edmond's coming back from.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
An ankle surgery.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
The team is optimistic that he will be ready for
opening day, though he'll probably be delayed for spring training
coming back from an ankle injury. Though, especially Tommy's injury history,
I mean, no one is questioning his grit.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
I watched him play for five years. He's a baller,
he's a gamer, but you.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Might want to take it slow, especially when you have
a lot of other players on the roster that can
go out and fill it. So if you have another
birth time player like Tommy Edmond or like Brendan Donovan,
excuse me, they're so similar.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
That would obviously help the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
And Donovan can play all around the diamond short, he
can play second base, both corner outfields, he can play
short stuff, he can play third if necessary. So he's
just kind of one of those pick and plug kind
of players that the Dodgers seem to really do well with. Now,
what I'm looking for, or what the Dodgers are looking
for necessarily in a trade package is cost certainty.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
And with Brendan Donovan, you know, that's exactly what you're
going to get.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So you can go out and take a flyer or
take a trade for someone thinking about another left you
with the Cardinals like Lars Newpar. Lars Newpar has a
lot of high upside, but a lot of it is unproven.
Brendan Donovan has been one of the more consistent middle
infielders in the National League for the past two seasons.
He's coming off one of his best seasons of his career.
If you're the Dodgers, you don't need to take a risk.
You're not looking to part with your prospects to take
(11:48):
a risk, like what are you risking for? You are
going to trade for something that you know brings back
a certain level of play and caliber.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
And I think that's what made Brendan Donovan so enticing
to the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Versatility. That's all the Dodgers look for, or they love
those types of players that can bring six seven, eight
gloves to the yard. All right, Katie, great stuff, so
far much more to come here on Dodger's territory. We're
going to get to know Katie will a little bit better.

I guess we can say.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
But we're calling this the unofficial dt AMA with Katie
Wu and you've already touched on it there in the
first segment, Katie, but listen, I mean all due respect
to the Cardinals and thing. All teams are big league teams,
but this is kind of a different animal here. When
you're talking about coming to the Dodgers beat, what are
the things you're most looking forward to in you know,
(14:26):
being at Dodger Stadium eighty one times plus, you.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Know, through the World Series and all that kind of stuff.
What excites you the most.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's such a good question, and it's partially I mean,
it's one of the things I considered because.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Leaving Saint Louis was a hard decision.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
I know that trajectory of the franchise right now it
does not look amazing, but I really have five incredible
years there with a very professional, stand up organization, and.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Leaving that was hard.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I know the on field product isn't exactly what Cardinals
fans have been used to, but the people in that
organization are our top tier. So leaving a place where
you're comfortable is never easy. But it's all so a
sign that you should probably leave.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
And when I was thinking about what the Cardinals roster
was going to look like over the next couple of
years and what the Dodgers roster looks like right now,
you want to go where the stars are and to
be able to cover in chronicle Shoe Hoo, Tani, Mookie Bets,
Freddie Freeman, Edwin Digaz.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Now you go down the list, a twenty six man
roster full of studs, and there's so much interest in
the Dodgers right now. We probably should have had two
athletic writers on the Dodgers beat for a while. But
the opportunity to be able to sit there and cover,
you know, not just the stars of the game, but
a dynasty in this organization, one of the most influential teams,
not just in baseball but in professional sports, and of
(15:38):
course being from California and being able to come back home,
it just felt like a can't miss situation. And I
have never felt in the middle of December ready for
the baseball season to start.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I've never once experienced that emotion.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
But I am really excited for spring training, to be
able to get boots on the ground and I meet
the clubhouse and start doing actual reporting. I got a
little taste of that at the Winter meetings until I
lost my voice.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
That was sick. But I think when you're just.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Looking at the kind of a game that covering the
Dodgers makes you bring every day.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
That's what I'm excited about the most.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
How do I know?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
How do we know that you're not a spy for
the San Francisco Giants and that you're infiltrating the Dodgers
clubhouse and the Dodgers dugout to bring it to your
friends up north?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Missus.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I'm from California, but from northern California.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, you see how I left that out. Okay, Cat's
on the back, all right, fan, Sorry Dodgers fans.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
My family was a little taken aback when I said
what team I was covering. But you know what, I
didn't like the Cardinals growing up either, so and I
think it turned out okay. But I will say it's
it's funny you both know this as soon as you
get into the professional world that none of that matters anymore.
(16:53):
And anyway, it makes me feel like, Okay, if I
was still a fan, what would I want? What I
want from my beat reporter, what would I want from
you know, my media coverage. That's the only way I
really think of being a fan anymore.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I even I'll go out and say this.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
When I was living in the Central Coast time I
would come home and if there was a West Coast
game on, I would turn on the Dodgers because they
were the more compelling team to watch.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
So, yes, I grew up a Giants fan.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Dodgers fans. You don't have to worry about it. I
am loyally yours. Well, we all have things.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
That we'd like to forget, so hopefully you can accept that.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Well, here's a funny story, though, what is your baseball
So I'm sorry Clinda to talk about what is your
baseball story? Like, how did you become so interested in
the sport and how did it become so ingrained in
your DNA?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Yeah, great question.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
I grew up and my dad loved baseball, and we
would go and we'd watch either A's or Giants every day,
and it just became away after school, after practice, homework, whatever,
to come home and be able to watch a few
Inians with my dad because I was never allowed to
stay up to watch.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
The whole game. And then in the morning I come down, I.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
The box scores in the newspaper, and it was just
like a routine. And when I got older and I
started figuring out what I wanted to be in my career,
I really had no idea but I'd always liked writing
in high school, and I went to Arizona State. They
actually had a sports journalism program, so I thought, you know,
I've watched baseball my whole life.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
I love it. I'm obsessed with this, and I was
a good writer in high school.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I wonder if I could combine the two, and right place,
right time, right organization at Arizona State kind of led
me here now, and I still talk to my dad
about baseball every day. He is becoming like a Dodger's encyclopedia,
so much so that when the Dodgers signed Edwin Diaz
at the winter meetings, obviously we're scrambling.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
I was like in line to get a coffee, and.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I see like Dodgers to the Dias when it came
out of nowhere, like the whole beat was like, what
is happening? And very rarely does that happen. So I'm scrambling.
We get the story up. Bobby and I are working together.
Two hours later, my dad texted me, I heard Dodgers
sign Dias.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
There we go.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
You're in You're in your little way, but you are
invested in this organization now.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
So new way Dodgers always welcoming new fans regardless of
their previous affiliation.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
So I think you are in a.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
Prime You are in a perfect position to be accosted
with this question. We've heard over the last couple of
off seasons the Dodgers are ruining baseball.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
What's your take on that narrative. I'm kind of curious.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
So when you think about a team spending money and
investing it back into the organization, how that could be bad?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah, if the Dodgers are I could get on board
with that narrative, if they were just buying free agents
and like just completely leaving their prospect minor leage system
in the dust.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Not.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
The Dodgers are obviously have a leg up because they're
able to spend. Every owner is able to spend, though, Okay,
this is not like a one off, like the Dodgers
are the only ownership group in baseball that can spend money. Okay,
thirty out of thirty owners can spend money. The Dodgers
just choose to spend it in a wild way, and
that's their right. But they're not just buying free agents. Okay,
when you look at the Dodgers farm system, whether it's
(19:58):
through amateur scout, whether it's through international scouting, whether it's
the prospects that they come out with, professional scouting and trades.
Every single element that they do in terms of building
a backbone for a franchise is top tier organizations are
modeling what the Dodgers are doing in the minor league system.
And while some markets might not be able to compare
to LA or New York spending wise, every market can
(20:21):
invest in fighting the right people in resources to build
a draft and development club like the Dodgers can.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
So no, I don't think they're ruining in baseball.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
I actually think that they've set the standard on how
to run a baseball organization outside of the spending, which
is a different category. But when you look at how
they're building their depth. Their entire opening day rotation was
on the injury list last year, and because they had
enough depth and resources in their minor league system, they
were just fine.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Obviously it wasn't I'm not going to diminish it. I'm
sure it was very difficult for Dave Roberts to go
through that.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
You know, Dave, if you're listening to that, I'm not
saying that you have like an easy job with six
starters on the IL, but they had so much depth
in their system to be able to supplement that until
their starters were healthy for his active The Cardinals had
one picture in Tripaa that they felt confident in all season,
so they essentially did a six man rotation and had
no backup, and it led almost exactly to their demise
(21:11):
right now. So, no, the Dodgers are not ruining baseball.
They are setting the standard on how to build a
good sustainable baseball team, even if you can't spend money.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
What makes you more excited covering the Dodgers beat or
West Coast Hip hop at Nellie's Gala?
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, so I'm still recovering from that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
That that was fun. That was a really fun time
my last weekend in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Nellie does a big, big Saint Louis Guy obviously a
charity gala every year.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I was lucky enough to go. Last year was Neo.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
This year was busta rhymes. A great time, great time.
I already miss it. I can't wait for next year.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Oh just wait till the Dodgers have their gala. Every year,
you will blow you.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
They haven't done the gala last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What the hell I'll get back to its.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Fleetwood Mac.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
We had Fleetwood Mac, we had Maroon five, Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
It was Jennifer Lopez. I mean it is.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It is off the chain, all right. Let me ask
you this one more question before we get to Clint.
Big Farah cat Lady tell us.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
About meep Oh my gosh. I love her so much.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
She is actually locked in my bedroom right now because
she will overtake the show. Yeah, I'm a sucker. I
love to rescue animals. I can't keep them, but I
know a lot of Like every time you posted about
a dog, I'm like, should I get that dog?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
For for whatever reason, this tiny little cat that my
mom found in a Sam's Club parking lot was so sweet,
so so like sick, and I was like, I'll take
care of her all, foster her back to life, foster fail.
Immediately fell in love with her. And I don't know
what happened with the sweet part, because she is a demon.
I don't know if like my tendency is like off
on her.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
I don't know, but we're.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Locked in and she's really excited to get out of
to be a back to California five years in Missouri.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
She survived, So back to back to California, we go.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Welcome home, Kitty. What's it called meat Meat?
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, that was a nickname that I gave her so
I didn't get too attached. And then I got attached,
and I didn't want to.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Change her name because I didn't want to give her
like an identity crisis. You know.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Yeah, that is that is fair.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Usually the nicknames they seem to they seem to stick
a couple of a couple of fun ones for you.
Here from the chat Maddie Man five Dodge and Justin
Lamas Yamas asking what's the deferral situation if you're covering
the Dodgers, obviously there needs to be deferrals in your contract.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Joke.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, no, that's pretty funny. That actually my editor.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Someone emailed my editor that like, did you give Katie
deferrals in her contract? A very sad Cardinals fan who
thought it was hilarious. So, no deferrals in my contract. Guys,
you're here for the long one.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Hopefully.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
We also got Don kim Is a happy subscriber from
the Athletic or of the Athletic and asking, outside of
covering the Dodgers, what are the things you're most looking
forward to getting ingrained into la?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, so outside right now it is seven degrees. Yesterday
was it was three degrees. That's a singular digit. That's
not a real temperature. So being able to go outside
is something that I'm looking forward to.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Seeing. The ocean would be nice right now.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I got like the river, so that's cool. But yeah,
definitely I thought I was a seasons girl.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I'm not. I'm not at all.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I need seventy degrees every day, sand walks outside, sunshine.
I don't think it's like the first sunny day in
like ten days here and it's still twenty degrees, So
that would be it.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
The weather.
Speaker 6 (24:42):
That Hollywood lifestyle there it is.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
The aj Perzinski, our pal of the foul Territory Network,
kid's calling me Hollywood woo, and I'm like, ay.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Don't start with me. There is no Hollywood life style here. Okay,
I'm a ball rid.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Well if he was doing that better, wouldn't it just
be like holl well come on now, exactly a better
be better.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
There's a couple of things in here though that justin
Yamas continues to say that I'm like, no, I'm not.
First of all, yes, everyone, I understand, I was born
and raised in Colorado. Colorado doesn't have a rivalry with anybody,
so stop.
Speaker 6 (25:16):
It, Okay, Rocky Stile.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Northern California and southern California have a rivalry. The Giants
and the.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
Dodgers have a rivalry. Colorado doesn't have a rivalry with anybody,
So save it all. Right, there you have it. I
don't know there was something else in here that I
was looking at.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
The well, why you find it a lot? I have
another one. So you grew up, we'll say nor Cal.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
I'm just gonna say that maybe probably potentially rooting for
not the Dodgers. What was like a favorite kind of
memory of Dodgers Giants rivalry or early on.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
In your life.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh man, my my aunt had season tickets for a
long time, and I can I can't remember how many
Giants Sawder's games we go to.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
And I'm not gonna say that beat l A was chanted. Okay,
you know it was passionate. If there's anything I can understand,
it's a passionate fan. And I think it was just
that peak rivalry.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I was lucky to grow up in Sorry Dodgers fans,
plug your ears. Like I was in high school for
twenty ten, twenty twelve, twenty fourteen, So the Giants dynasty
was like.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Wow, your baby compressed.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I know, but it was the best five year run
as a fan that I could remember because it was
each each year that they did it, it was in
a different way, and I just I can empathize with
fans now with their dynasty. Don't ever let anyone.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
Take that away from you, because winning in baseball is fleeting.
It might not feel that way in LA right now,
it probably won't for a while, but I still now,
you know, ten years later, think back to that insane
run that the Giants went on, and it just solidified
why baseball is the best word.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
All right, one question for me and then I'm done.
A favorite player out of Arizona State Barry Bonds, Andre Ethier,
Dustin Pedroia or Austin Barnes.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
I'm sorry, I have to go Barry Bonds. I'm sorry,
I'm sorry. But fun fact about Barry Bonds.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
I was hiking in the murd Headlands like eight years ago,
and I was lost, and my friend, who knows nothing
about sports, flagged down a biker while I was walking
the other way, trying to find any any kind of map,
and this biker was very fit, very athletics, super nice.
I remember looking ahead, like, oh, he has a really
nice smile, and I'm walking up more and more and
he waves and says goodbye, and it was Barry Bonds.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And I was like, and.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
My friend had no idea who she was talking to.
And I was like, you just haves Berry Bonds for
directions and she was like, yeah, who, Like who's that?
And I was like, oh, oh my gosh, So shout
out Barry Bonds, because I might still be stuck in
the mud headlands if he did not help us, help
my poor friend and I off the mountain.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
That's that's pretty great. What are the chances of that?
Speaker 4 (27:51):
I was so mad.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
Well, we're happy you're here.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
We're happy you're bringing your baseball fandom to cover the
Dodgers in a way that hopefully the fans appreciate. Obviously,
Faby and our dad does a fantastic job, and we're
looking forward to a different approach, different perspective, and you
guys also collaborating. I will flip you the bird. Great
name in the chats is welcome to the family. Katie
gave us that super chat Phil as well, saying, you know,
(28:15):
it's gold welcoming you to this team. A lot of
love for Katie Woo and the chat, and we're excited
to have you on. Have you around here. Of course
in some capacity we'll figure out what that all.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
Looks like moving forward. Yes, for today, we appreciate you
hanging out with us. Katie.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
You got it. Guys, thanks so much for having me.
I'll see you both very soon.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Dodger fans, I'm really excited to get to know you
and hopefully morning soon.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
Give her a follow on the social media. She breaks
things as well. She's like like many mini mini Ken Rosenthal,
but not.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Really I want to be junior.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Appreciate it, Katie, that's a lot of fun, a lot
of what do you say we tell people about a doggo,
let's do it.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Great, Katie, you're moving to southern California. Havanah needs a home.
Havanah went on a trial adoption with another one of
our Guidry's guardian foundation alone unfortunately didn't work out.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
The resident dog not.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Super psyched about having a younger puppy around.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Havannah is just really energetic.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
She's a great dog, but she's a puppy, so she
has a lot of energy.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Can you please share her? She needs an adopter.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
She's a great girl, she's healthy, spade, leash trained, great trained,
potty trained, all of the trained. But she just needs
a forever home. She'd be great in a solo dog home.
She'd also be great with another dog that likes to
play that matches her energy levels. So please, if you
have any questions about Havannah, hit me up on social
or check out Gidri's guardian dot org.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Okay, this is tough, Clint. We you and I were
talking about.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
It earlier before the show started about how to handle
our thought for the road, and I'm just simply gonna
say that my heart and my thoughts and prayers are
with the family and friends. The closest connection to Rob
and Michelle Reiner obviously, baseball lost a huge baseball fan,
uh the Dodgers with this on X Earlier, the Dodgers
expressed our deep sorrow and share our condolences over the
(30:17):
passing of longtime fan Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner,
who allegedly killed yesterday evening by allegedly one of their sons.
Nick Reiner, this is obviously a tragedy for that family,
for those closest to him.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
He was a huge baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Born in New York, was always at games, had a
lot of different baseball references and innuendos, and all of
a lot of his work.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
On the big and small screen.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And his son, his other son, Jake, is also a
big LA Dodgers fan, does some stuff on the Dodgers beat.
Their daughter romy We feel for her as well. Just
our thoughts and prayers to those closest to him the
baseball world and in the in the world of cinema,
lost lost a giant.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah, absolutely, I mean devastating news.
Speaker 5 (31:09):
