Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

There was no news for the Dodgers on Monday but there was a rumor from Sunday about the team being interested in bringing back Ryan Brasier. Should he be considered for the bullpen? There may be some other factors that can determine Brasier's future in LA. Also, we answered a question about the state of the bullpen, about Mookie Betts' move to second base, and about the 'Ohtani Effect' that could happen at Dodger Stadium this coming season.

We got some Dodgers news on Sunday night that the Dodgers have agreed to a deal with Teoscar Hernández. The deal is reportedly for one year and $23.5M with some deferrals. Hernández has been someone the Dodgers have been linked to all offseason. What does he bring to the Dodgers? What are some concerns? Also, with the position player group seemingly set, are there any moves we could see happening? Lastly, the 40-man roster is full so there's definitely some action coming. Could it be a big deal?

Today's episode is a mailbag episode with a lot of good questions about a few topics. Do the Dodgers need a closer and if so, who would be the best one to get on the free agent or trade market? Also, shortstop is a topic of questioning with Gavin Lux returning from injury and if he would be available in any trades. Lux's spot in the batting order is another question. Lastly, how would we define success for the Dodgers over the next 10 years in terms of number of championships. How many would be satisfactory?

The Dodgers completed a trade, sending Bryan Hudson to the Brewers in exchange for 2023 draftee Justin Chambers and a PTBNL or cash. Chambers is coming off Tommy John surgery but could become the next "steal" the Dodgers get in a trade. Is it too early to think that? Also, MLB.com released their power rankings and the Dodgers were No. 2 behind the Atlanta Braves. How do we feel about that, and does it really matter? Lastly, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com has Walker Buehler as his Cy Young pick for 2024. Can Buehler pitch enough to warrant the award?

The Dodgers reportedly are hiring Yoshinobu Yamamoto's trainer from Japan, Osamu Yada. Is this something to make Yamamoto more comfortable or are the Dodgers considering some of his practices for their own pitchers? Also, the Dodgers still need another outfielder and the guys look at two potential trade options in Anthony Santander and Lane Thomas. Do any of those two stand out more than the other, and what would it cost to trade for them?

The Dodgers were linked to left-handed starting pitcher Shota Imanaga over the weekend. Does he fit in the rotation, and should the Dodgers pursue him? Also, it appears the Red Sox are looking to shed some payroll. Do they have any one on their roster that would help the Dodgers? Kenley Jansen and Trevor Story would be two that sort of fit the mold. Lastly, Yasiel Puig is tearing it up in the Venezuelan winter league. Is he someone the Dodgers should look into for a potential roster spot?

There was no real news in the Dodgers or baseball world so it's a mailbag episode. There was questions about James Outman's status being untouchable, what roster moves the Dodgers still need to make, and if they should let some of the young talent take a bigger role. Other questions included a six-man rotation, a package for Randy Arozarena and more.

The Dodgers officially announced the signing of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and hosted his introductory press conference at Dodger Stadium. It was a last-minute affair that still produced a strong media turnout. Jeff and Vince talk about their first impressions of Yamamoto, and break down what he said about joining the Dodgers and why Los Angeles was the right place for him. Also, Stan Kasten, Brandon Gomes and Dave Roberts spoke about the possibility of continuing to improve the team, and why the expectations for the 2024 Dodgers aren't any different from the teams of years past.

Are the Dodgers looking into a trade for Emmanuel Clase and Shane Bieber from the Cleveland Guardians? There was an unverified rumor out there but it was definitely worth a discussion because it makes sense. It doesn't appear Yoshinobu Yamamoto's press conference will be on Wednesday. Is there a reason for the hold up? Lastly, Joe Kelly's wife got a Porsche from Shohei Ohtani for the No. 17. What would you ask for in return for a jersey number?
