00:00Scooble gets traded to the Dodgers.
00:02I don't really care about the return because the return,
00:05there's three prospects.
00:07Maybe they turn in something, maybe they don't.
00:09It was up to the Tigers to determine whether or not
00:12they were going to get enough back.
00:14They thought they got enough back.
00:15I'm not so sure.
00:17But what it does, it sets up a lineup for the Dodgers
00:21for something we have never seen before.
00:23This is the first time in the history of baseball
00:26that reigning back-to-back winners of both the Cy Young
00:30in the American League and the MVP of a National League
00:34or any league are on the same team.
00:37We've never seen this type of firepower being concentrated
00:41with one team.
00:43It's the first time since 2004 that the reigning MVP
00:47in Cy Young happens to be on the same roster.
00:51The Dodgers now have 50 All-Star Game appearances
00:54on their roster.
00:55They have six seasons for MVPs.
00:58They have four Cy Youngs, and they have 19 Silver Slugger
01:02awards on their roster.
01:05This is the greatest on-paper baseball team
01:09that we have ever seen.
01:11And you might go, Matt, how in the world did the Dodgers
01:14do this?
01:15How were they able to create a roster with this much firepower?
01:21These guys all are top of the line.
01:23They all want to make big money.
01:25They all want to get paid big time.
01:27Well, how did they do it?
01:30Deferred money.
01:31The Dodgers are deferring $1.1 billion.
01:38$1.1 billion.
01:40They're paying Shohei until 2043.
01:43They're paying Mookie Betts until 2044.
01:47They're paying Blake Snell until 2046.
01:52I mean, Scooble is going to sign a monster contract,
01:56and we'll see what Scooble gets paid for until.
01:58Kate Snell.
01:59Kate Snell.
