HUGE Dodgers Winter Meetings Update: Shohei Ohtani Decisions, Teoscar Hernandez Rumors and Roki Sasaki WBC | Episode 389

We are live from the Bleed Los Podcast as Drea, Anthony and Cody get you ready for the start of the Winter Meetings. The Dodgers enter the week with major decisions ahead and we break down what the team needs and what we want to see happen. We react to the Hall of Fame results where Jeff Kent finally gets in, but Fernando Valenzuela is left out again. He will not be eligible again until 2031 and Dodgers fans are frustrated. We discuss why Fernando continues to be overlooked. Teoscar Hernandez’s name keeps popping up in trade conversations. Reporters Fabian Ardaya, Katie Woo and Bob Nightingale have all mentioned him. Does a trade make sense? Would the Dodgers really do it? If so, who replaces him? We also react to Dave Roberts saying Teoscar is the everyday right fielder “right now” and Brandon Gomes pushing back on the rumors. Free agent notes: The Dodgers likely aren’t favorites for Cody Bellinger, Edwin Diaz or Kyle Tucker. Instead they prefer Harrison Bader and Robert Suarez. Smart moves or settling? We give our thoughts. Internationally, we discuss the biggest storyline of them all: Shohei Ohtani’s role with Team Japan at the World Baseball Classic. Will he play? Will he pitch? What does this mean for the Dodgers heading into 2026? We react to Dave Roberts’ comments and what they signal. Roki Sasaki’s appearance on Japan’s preliminary WBC roster adds even more intrigue, and we break down what that might look like for him. Plus, we share our conversation with Tommy Edman from this weekend’s meet and greet. He updated us on his ankle, talked about team chemistry and reflected on helping Clayton Kershaw close out his final season. Join us live and drop your questions in the chat.
