The Dodgers added former MLB Network host and play-by-play man Stephen Nelson to the broadcast booth. And no, he won't be replacing Joe Davis. James Outman was looking jacked in an Instagram video. Is he ready to be the main center fielder? Lastly, should the Dodgers be spending now since Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are already locked up and not getting any younger?

We had another Jason Heyward sighting at Dodger Stadium, and he's looking great, which got us wondering about his chances to make the team, so we talk about that. We also talk about Gavin Lux looking to be in great physical condition, Trayce Thompson unexpectedly having a full head of hair, and the importance of neck health for Lux and Chris Taylor. And finally, we talk about Tommy Brown, the youngest position player in MLB history when he debuted for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1944.

Today's episode is all about Shohei Ohtani after a report/thought that he could command $500M as a free agent next winter. Is that a conceivable number for Ohtani? Should the Dodgers be in on him at that price, or will they continue to look for shorter deals with higher AAV? And lastly, will the Dodgers try and trade for Ohtani at the deadline in order to get a leg up on locking him up long-term?

Former Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig agreed to plead guilty to lying to federal investigators, only to later back out. Why did he agree to plead guilty in the first place? And what new evidence led him to change his mind? Jeff Snider did a lot of digging, studying court documents and statements, and even talking to anonymous associates of Puig to try to get to the truth. We maybe didn't get all the way to the truth, but we got closer than we were, including uncovering the identity of "Agent 1," the bookie who placed bets on Puig's behalf. Agent 1's identity is important because what Puig is being charged with is lying about how he knew Agent 1, and as Jeff uncovers in this episode, it's likely he wasn't lying at all.

The Dodgers signed 13 players on the first day of the international signing period, highlighted by Joendry Vargas and Arnaldo Lantigua. Vince reads the scouting reports on the newest signees. Then he looks back at past signing classes to see how the Dodgers have fared internationally. He also updates us on the Dodgers' arbitration situation, which is basically that Tony Gonsolin is the only player that didn't come to an agreement.

No real news came out of Thursday for the Dodgers so Vince does a mailbag episode with questions from listeners. He talks about holiday hats, areas to improve on next offseason if this offseason remains relaxed, and if he'd rather trade Max Muncy or Chris Taylor in the scenario that the Dodgers are adamant about getting under the luxury tax.
