00:00I wrote a story about it. I know you kind of picked through and looked at some stuff.
00:04By the time this podcast runs, I think you'll have your own story talking to
00:07his agent, Scott Forrest, about his arrival. Now that we're a couple days removed from the trade
00:14itself, what have you kind of read into, noticed, felt about how this has played,
00:20obviously, around the industry, about what Tarek himself said today, about what Scott told you,
00:25and how this fit kind of looks as he gets ready to make his Dodger debut on Tuesday?
00:32Yeah, I guess also just seeing all the activity today, you know, take, for example,
00:39just like what the Padres gave up just to add a couple of arms. I guess I'm surprised that nobody
00:45else really kind of stepped up to the plate and at least forced the Dodgers to pay more. I mean,
00:51I'm still kind of in shock at how light they got off, and I know, you know, there are people
00:57that
00:57have prospects. Especially compared, like, you look at, like, the Adley-Rushman trade today to
01:01the Red Sox. Now, granted, he's got, like, a year and a half of control left, but the Red Sox
01:06gave
01:06up, like, three of their top five prospects for a guy who's perennially injured and is, like, a good
01:11but not superstar level player, even when he is on the field. Yeah, you know, and so I, I don't
01:18know,
01:18I guess I was just kind of surprised again, you know, and I know that there are people
01:21who, like, fetishize prospects. I'm not one of them. I think, you know, these are the people
01:30that kind of know the, so to speak, the price of everything, maybe the value of nothing or the
01:36value of winning, at least. So, yeah, I still think this has got to be a smashing success for
01:43the Dodgers, you know, and look, we don't know what's going to happen with Snell, Glass, Snell,
01:49Otani. What we do know is they're going to have a one-two, Yamamoto, Skubal, and that's going to be
01:56a tough pairing, no matter what. No matter what happens after that, you're going to have those
02:01two guys at the top of the rotation. It's going to make it really tough to beat in October.
