Honestly if you're getting Sasaki then lux and Miller for Bichette makes so much more sense than Arenado. Arenado though if they did it and it worked and he was 2021/2022 arenado again it will be WAY more fun
I see everyone calling Teo "greedy" as if they're children who are mad because they can't have the toy they want. But I also do think he's prioritizing the Dodgers. If not, I think another team would've swooped in and snatched him by now.
This pisses me off so much. Do you mean to tell me that we lost a really good pitcher? Because you chose not to pay him for one year. You chose not to offer him the qualifying offer. Like wtf? I don't get emotional. Or upset when players leave. But Walker has been my guy since day, one. This hurts 💔
You did pursue other players like Soto. That was a huge slap in the face to Teoscar Hernandez. And now you want him to just sign???? Sure I hope he signs too. But I understand if he doesn't or especially in a hurry!!!! You don't mistreat players like that!!!!
The Dodgers gave Teo a qualifying offer well before Soto signed and they followed within days of Teo not accepting the qualifying offer with a 3-year offer that has been, and still is, on the table for Teo. The assumption that Teo hasn’t been signed because the Dodgers were “pursuing” Soto is ridiculous because (1) they did give Teo an offer well before Soto signed (actually before they gave Soto an offer) that you apparently are not aware of and (2) “pursuing” Soto certainly didn’t slow down their ability to, not only give offers to Snell, Conforto, Edmun & Treinan, but also sign all 4 players while they were “pursuing” Soto. So why would the Dodgers be able to sign 4 players early if “pursuing” Soto was a drag on their time and attention such that they would ignore and disrespect Teo? I use “pursuing” because, if you think the Dodgers spent any significant time putting together their $600M offer to Soto and wasted time hoping he would accept it, that is not reality. The Dodgers offer to Soto was like performance art, as they never had any intention of signing Soto. The Dodgers made an offer to Soto that was far below the offers from the other teams and they knew it would never be accepted. All the fans in the podcasts worrying about the Dodgers spending big money on Soto were worrying for nothing because they were never going to spend anything on signing Soto. So, why did the Dodgers make such an offer if they knew it wasn’t going to be accepted? Scott Boros is also Snell’s agent and the Dodgers didn’t want Boros to work against them in being able to sign Snell early, so they helped Boros make a market for Soto by throwing their offer in the mix, as it would look conspicuous if one of the biggest money teams didn’t participate in the Soto show. The Dodgers certainly didn’t disrespect Teo. The Dodgers are one of the premier organizations in all of sports and when have you ever heard claims from players about being disrespected. Such a claim is so ludicrous and runs counter to Teo’s own words and tears at the parade about how the Dodgers have treated him and his family since he signed last year and wanting to be a Dodger. If Teo felt disrespected, that would have become known already. The reality is that Teo hasn’t been signed because he is shopping himself to maximize offers he gets, which is what he should do. He should find out and know what his market value is. The Dodgers haven’t given Teo a deadline for a decision, but they aren’t going to compete against their own offer in the meantime. If Teo gets an offer that he would otherwise accept, I’m sure he will circle back with the Dodgers and give them a chance to match it if he really wants to be a Dodger like he has said. For an idea about where the market is the closest comp among recent signings is Christian Walker’s signing with the Astros for 3 years at $20M/year. Both have similar stats and average 3 WAR per season over their careers. The Dodgers gave Teo an offer for 3 years at $25M/year with a signing bonus of $4M and $9M/contract year deferred over 10 years ($27M total deferred). The salary is a bump up from his 2024 salary and is at the high end of what Teo said he’s looking for. The signing bonus and deferred money are both at the same proportion to the bonus and deferrals of his 2024 contract. Teo’s agent has said he is looking for s larger signing bonus (didn’t say how much) and no deferred money. The amount of the signing bonus and deferred money are not insignificant details as they factor into the salary the Dodgers offer. The higher the signing binus and lesser the deferrals, the lower the salary the Dodgers would offer/agree to. For acaignificantly higher signung binus and no deferrals, the Dodgers are probably around $20M for what they would agree to. Big bonus and no deferrals is effectively saying that Teo wants as much of his 3-year contract money in his hands as early as possible, which is unrealistic given that every player on the Dodgers who is worth anything has deferrals in their contract. The market has obviously not given Teo an offer he would accept, but the ball is in his court about whether or not he would accept deferrals or a much lower salary without deferrals. Until Teo decides, this show is at intermission.
The fact that Teoscer isn't signed yet seems like he wasn't originally part of the Dodgers long term plans and after his spectacular year it changed things for them, otherwise he would have been inked to a deal along time ago.
You make it sound like the Dodgers are the sole decision makers regarding signing a player. They can’t command Teo to accept their offer. The Dodgers put an offer in front of Teo shortly after the Series ended. Si, Teo has been sitting in an offer for a fair amount of time. The salary was a bump up from what they paid him last year with signing bonus and deferred money proportional to what was in his contract for last season. Teo chose not to accept that and his agent said he was looking for a big signing bonus (didn’t specify a number) and no deferals, which are not insignificant details because they drive the amount of salary the Dodgers would offer. Teo decided to shop himself and apparently he hasn’t gotten an offer on terms he would otherwise accept. If Teo wants to be a Dodger as much as he says he does, I’m sure he will circle back and give the Dodgers an opportunity to match that offer, if there is one. In the meantime, the Dodgers are not going to compete against their own offer, especially when it is the same structure Teo accepted last year with a salary bump that puts that offer at the very top of the salary range he said he’s looking for. But for Teo to think the Dodgers will go to no deferrals without lowering the salary is delusional, especially when every player on the Dodgers who is worth anything have deferrals in their contract.
Losing buehler is only worth it if we sign Roki, buehler has potential to reach his ceiling again but with the high chance of reinjury and a little older now. Roki is younger with a ceiling that is even or for sure higher than buehlers ever was.
yankees dont have 27 ws titles because they can pitch. Hitting wins ws, as we saw last year, give up 5 runs score 7. you win. Get hitters and lots of it. Clutch hitters and playoff October hitters. that's what wins. that the formula
Before conforto got hurt his numbers were like teo but less ks and more walks 80/150 vs 50/180-200. Teo wants all his money now which is he really going to spend it all? Why not get paid bobby Bonilla style the rest of your life?
If TeOcar Hernandez leaves 🍃 😢 put Mookie Betts Bloody Back in Right field!!! He is a Gold Glove ✨️ Right fielder!!! Either sign a Experienced Replacement or put Mookie Betts back in Right ✅️ 🤔 👀
Yeah with 3 MVP / Hall of Famers, it is a 1-year plig & play player who is the engine that drives this team. Right. I bet you had never heard of Teoscar Hernandez before the Dodgers signed him.
Andrew Friedman doesn't learn we lost Cory seager because of his bad negotiation skills now we are going to lose teoscar Hernandez because he doesn't want to sign him for three years dodgers should let Friedman go and get another job
Check out the movie 🎬 The Scout 🏆 with Brendan Frasier. It's really a depiction of Ohtani! Steve Nebraska is basically Ohtani who can pitch and hit at a high level but has Mental Health problems!
Yankees fans want revenge after a few Dodger players made those comments. They woke up a sleeping giant now. That was a huge mistake. A few Padres players fired LA up to win a title , but then a few Dodger players did the exact same thing and WORSE by going after the Yankees and kicking them when they were down after you won . And now you won't hear the end of it for years and years. They're going to steadily apply the pressure until the Dodgers are bursting at the seams. Well. I don't know why you did that? Big mistake. I know I mentioned you should be in a relatively honest relationship with the world and entire universe basically. But saying things like the Yankees pooped down their leg is waaaaaaaaay out of line!
【Mr.Andrew Friedman.】 【Mr. Brandon Gomes.】 【Dodgers front staff.】 Please make the contract with Teoscar.🟦🟦🟦🖊️ Roberts, Betts, and Shohei play baseball with him. Teoscar's contract strengthens the unity of the Dodgers' fielders. 🟦🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏 The Dodgers were able to win because they were members of the 2024 fielders.🏅 Don't destroy it yourself. 🔥💣️💥💥💥💥 ⇩ The enemies teams will be happy.
You forget that it is the Dodgers management that you cite who put the team together, so they are bit in the business if destroying anything, especially given a long record over the last 13 years of putting winning teams on the field year after year. Second, the idea that any single player is responsible for “the unity of the fielders” is not the reality of the mindset and work ethic of the professional athletes you mentioned. Do you really think Mookie. Freddie or Shohei played better because Teo was throwing seeds in their faces and that those players would perform worse next year if Teo isn’t there to throw seeds in their faces? These players are future Hall of Famers who have been successful on different teams and different circumstances and will continue to be successful regardless who else is on the team. The Dodgers are the best organization in MLB and this team is where players want to be because they jniw every year they will be in the playoffs. No single player either makes the Dodgers the premier irganization that it is and the Dodgers won’t fall apart if Teo doesn’t comeback. Lastly, the assumption is that because Teo hit 33 HRs and had 99 RBIs last year he will do that next year and beyond, which may be a realistic if you are taljung about Mookie, Dresdie ir Shohei, but iver Teo’s career that has not been the case. There is a reason thr Didgers had Teo in a 1-year contract as he had a down year in 2023 with Seattle and his time with the Bkue Jays was up & down. So, Teo career performance shows that performance in 2024 isn’t a guaranty that 2025 will be the same.
If the Dodgers get CHEAP with TeOcar and he walks, fans will Riot and Boycott spending money going to the games and stay home 🏡 and watch for CHEAP!!! FANS CAN GET CHEAP AS WELL!!!!!!!!!
Please keep the Raiders out of this Dodger heads lol complete opposite organizations Dodgers vs Raiders as opposite as good is to bad, very bad I might add! We can all be thankful to have owners and a front office as good as the Dodgers!
Luis Robert Jr is injury prone!!!! He is a HARD PASS FOR ME MAN!!! Just Resign TeOcar OR PUNT and put Andy Pages in Right field and go with God!!! Dodgers better 😤 give Dalton Rushing a Huge RUN WAY NEXT SEASON 😤 😒 🙄
Merry Christmas and go Dodgers
I would think that it would be worth it to the Dodgers to pay a little extra just to keep the winning formula going
TeOcar Hernandez Back in Dodgers Blue 💙 would be a Great Christmas 🎄 Present 🎁
Best Dodger podcast around…..with that being said it’s December and they still have the old intro.
Just give Teo what he wants!!!!
Seiya Suzuki got a raw deal by the Cubs. First, the Cubs GM lied about the weather patterns in Chicago being similar to where Suzuki grew up in Japan. Now, he’s being minimized in his ability to contribute inthe Cubs roster.
I don't know about other aspects, but surely he could have done his own research on the weather?
Teo and Roki are all fan's want for Christmas ❤
Exactly 💯 Right Especially the TeOcar Hernandez part!
Are you aware that Roki can’t sign a deal until the second half of January. So he won’t be anybody’s Christmas present.
Honestly if you're getting Sasaki then lux and Miller for Bichette makes so much more sense than Arenado. Arenado though if they did it and it worked and he was 2021/2022 arenado again it will be WAY more fun

There's absolutely no reason to listen to Teoscar Hernandez possibly going elsewhere! Sign him already and stop the nonsense!
The draft picks and international pool money is holding up many free agents. Don’t you think?

Let both Hernandez walk. This lineup needs a mix of youth, lest they all grow old together and need a major rebuild in 8 to 10 years.
