[@larrytrujillo7293]

Bringing in Kirby to LA is huge! Congratulations Kirby and LA! Been praying and bad mouthing mgmt. for years to focus on pitching instead of relying solely on the farm system. So excited for the season! Go Blue!!! 💙💙

[@littlesame]

Welcome to our Dodgers

[@Dakers11-pl8qj]

Welcome home, to the Dodgers Kirby. This is where you grew up.

[@miketaylor7023]

Yates is a fine pitcher.

[@MaiMaiYa-8]

Awesome 🎉

[@LoveSunflowerz332]

Welcome Kirby repeat !

[@TheSmarq17]

As dominating as Gagne was 20 years or so ago, he was only 1 arm. This bullpen literally has several Gagnes! Treinen, Scott, Phillips, Kopech, Vesia, possibly May or Miller and now Yates. All have closer-level stuff and attitudes. This could be the greatest group of arms in the history of the game. Literally all can be lights out. Fingers crossed. #BigBlueWreckingCrew

[@MYSONMYBUDDY]

From highlights of last year, I have no idea how he got guys out with a 94 mph fastball, but that splitter had to have something to do with it. Hope he has a third pitch & most of all good luck & stay healthy!

[@brandohernandez9991]

His a legend he want to win multiple championships his hungry. Let’s go!

[@JackGeezy]

He wants to win too.

[@shaneynereneyne4493]

Now we need Kershaw!!!!

[@TheSmarq17]

Patience.

[@Caitlyn-h4d]

My favorite unlce Kirby on to 38 not 39😢❤

[@theophilussparks5839]

D@@@mmm !! this is getting ridiculous..lets go dodgers !!!

[@larrytrujillo7293]

I wouldn't say ridiculous. Is it the fault of the Dodgers to have free agents want to come to LA?! It's amazing to have this roster!! LFG Blue!! 💙💙

[@drewrockwell8000]

seems very down to earth will be very good for them will be interesting if they resign him I think they will if he does good like he did last year with rangers

[@bigkahuna8557]

Cheehoo! Hawaiian! 🤙🏽

[@DoGuov]

I mean it's cool. But surprised to see a Kirby Yates intro press conference. It's a 1 year deal. Teoscar didn't get one last season and I thought it was because it was only a 1 year deal. He looked excited to finally get his own one a few weeks ago.

[@AndreP1524]

So what shit yall always gotta complain and be negative about some shit, Just enjoy this amazing roster that got put together, And get ready for this DYNASTY run for god sakes 🤦

[@DoGuov]

@AndreP1524 you saw complaining from that? More curiosity than complaining for sure.

[@jttt8344]

did he pass the physical exam thing

[@larrytrujillo7293]

Most likely considering the announcement he's committed to LA pending a physical was weeks ago and the actual signing now since then.

[@josecalibecerra]

Yes they wouldn’t have a press conference without it lol

[@HistorysTimeTunnel88]

dude looks like Connor mcgreger

[@normlee6566]

It is telling where a free agent stands on the tier of importance. Sasaki, Ohtani, and Yamamoto got the full treatment: walter, Friedman, gomes, and Roberts were at his introductory news conference. Snell and Scott were flanked by Friedman and Gomes. Kirby gets only Gomes. On a personal side, it's nice to have a Hawaii guy on the Dodgers.

[@AndreP1524]

🤦 another one with NEGATIVE energy so what who’s there, He’s here he will be a HUGE part and that’s all that matters, Good lord you fans like to bicker and point negative things out

[@cosmicatma17]

Sounds like someone’s bitter about us taking away the Rangers closer who was supposed to be this year’s Cubs closer until the Dodgers broke the stalemate between the teams

[@drewrockwell8000]

@@cosmicatma17 Dodgers are best ran organization right now. Money is just making them unstoppable coming from a Yankees fan. You should enjoy it don't let people be negative.

[@normlee6566]

@@cosmicatma17 Idiot. I'm a Dodgers fan since the O'Mallys. Unlike you, I am not a homer fan who get triggered at every comment he wants to take as a slight. It's just a fact: you can tell the weight of a signing based on who shows up at the intro news conference.

[@normlee6566]

@AndreP1524 You really are just one of those homers who is looking for an excuse to be triggered. I just stated a fact: the more significant the signing, the higher executives show up for the introductory news conference. Take a Xanax, man.
