Roki SASAKI Signs with LA: Is the DODGERS Rotation UNSTOPPABLE?

Been here since the beginning and I am amazed at how much the room has changed. It has gone from practically all Mets fans to predominantly Dodgers.

[@thomasramirez718]

We appreciate that bro, everything attached to the Mets is AMAZING

As a Dodger fan, I thought I was done with this channel after the WS, but you keep getting me back in to listen/watch!

[@Objectivity-w5j]

@EdwardTonai. I feel like you're not here for the baseball commentary 🤔

[@EdwardTonai]

@@Objectivity-w5j I come back whenever they talk about Dodger related things.

[@eddiemurphy5566]

I was waiting for this podcast to drop after hearing the news that Sasaki signed. This is my new go-to baseball podcast as a Dodgers fan, and I've been watching since the Dodgers-Mets series in the playoffs. You two are S-tier baseball journalists, and it keeps us baseball fans coming back for intelligent and insightful commentary from throughout the league. Also, the Mets are the future of NY baseball. The Yankees are old and tired.

[@C_Los808]

With a salary cap would come a salary floor where there would be a minimum spending requirement. Several owners would never go for that. Let’s go Dodgers Nation!

[@FM-ki4dl]

Another Dodgers fan hooked on this podcast😮

[@Seigerootz]

Sasaki is 23 years old but he's got the world view of a 60 year old. His childhood was tragic and he poured his heart and soul into baseball. He truly only cares about being the greatest pitcher he can be and in high school he absolutely shoved. I hope the Dodgers can give him the support he needs beyond just baseball because his struggles in MLB will be like nothing he's experienced in baseball.

[@djhinton79]

As a Mets fan, i ain't mad. I want my get back. Also, ladies keep doing your thing. Have to thank the Dodgers fan for showing them love.

[@alexnhan8527]

The Mets shot their wad on one single selfish player. Good luck with that! Just because you have lots of money doesn't mean you are smart! Talking to you Cohen

[@andrewjones2133]

@@alexnhan8527what are talking about? Every team in the league wanted Juan Soto. Whatever team you are a fan of ended up getting him? You would be happy too. So pipe down son.

[@MartinRodriguez-jn5gw]

Thank you. I will never sick of both of you. I really appreciate how smart both you are. Keep up the great work.

My Favorite Dodgers Podcast!!!

[@JEndless2025]

MLB doesn't need a salary cap as much as it needs a Salary floor. Teams like the Marlins, Pirates, White Soxs are teams that refuse to spend even a fraction of the league average. They have declining fanbases, poor attendance, and not hope in the forseable future. Those teams do a lot more damag to the sport than the Dodgers do. Look at the Dodger's road attendance numbers and this past World Series TV viewership in comparison to prior years. We all hate them but we want to see Ohtani and Company when they come into town. That's good for baseball.

[@cw9599]

It's nice to see a common sense post on You tubeconcerning MLB. All his points were on point, stated facts and made sense. Well done and Thank you!

[@Zero-23]

Agreed!

[@DeanHolmes-i2l]

The Dodgers have a decades long presence in Japan.

[@ebl8037]

Baseball is super unpredictable. You can build the best team on paper but it doesn't mean anything with slumps, injuries and mistakes. But damn the Dodgers look good right now!

[@alexrenteria2127]

Love you ladies and loving the extra innings content. Yes, the Dodgers just got Rouki and the Padres whiffed at the end but that was because there was too much drama, turmoil and uncertainty going on in SD. They have not signed an MLB ready free agent (as of today) and are looking to unload some of their expiring contracts. A young player would not want to start their career there. Thanks for covering this signing and diving in to his story. Many Dodgers a similar sad but inspiring story (ie. Freddie Freeman). Continue the great work and I'll continue to support as an LAD fan 💙

[@Marc21j]

As a dodger fan , I don't think they should create a salary cap. The way things are are working out great

[@anibalnez]

Thank you for the extra inning report, I really appreciate it 🎉 and value your opinion 😊

[@ThunderPants13]

Your show is so fun and entertaining, but what I really like is the fact that you clearly do your homework and really know the details of what you are discussing. Keep up the good work! --Dodgers fan

[@braceyoself_]

Thanks for the great podcasts! Dodger fan here, still riding with you into the new season!

[@markcohen7991]

You guys are great. Love listening to you. Please keep making them. Sasaki joining Otani and Yamamoto just like World Baseball Classic. You're wonderful.

[@studiodsr]

Just change the name to Why Am I A Baseball Fan, guys. Why limit yourself? Better yet, keep this channel and start a new all-teams channel!

[@s.w.6877]

I can’t get enough of this Dodger podcast 💙💙

[@BeginningWrite]

Dodger fan here… fact that our 5th starter can be anyone’s 1st…. Yeah, life is pretty good!

[@Mr.Peck88]

“The thought of Sasaki teaming up with Darvish to take on the rival Dodgers and their own super-powered Japanese tandem was tantalizing.” I saw this in an article today and was reminded of Ashley’s tantalizing vocabulary.

[@seijihokuto640]

Thank u for telling the story about him. Love u guys from Japan.

[@TheLandAndSky]

From Buffalo here, a dodgers and bills fan lol. Love your podcasts this offseason!! Lol at the Toronto comments. 😂

[@275Vet-RLTW]

It's taken the Friedman 14 years to get the dodgers to where they are now, it took off when mookie bets was traded and extended. now I think only the braves are close.

[@cw9599]

It took off when the Guggenheim group took over. ❤

[@jocosus3]

Been waiting to hear your reactions to the Dodgers news. #StayAmazing

[@dylanturek8364]

The problem with MLB isnt a salary cap, it's a salary floor. The smaller market teams you referenced go out of their way to maximize profit without investing into the team. For the pirates or A's, they'd rather hope for a competitive (at best) season with a high enough profit to justify the owner's "investment" than spend all the money they can to try and win it all. That's why we love owners like Steve Cohen and the group that owns the Dodgers: you play to win and fans want to show up for a winning team. It's depressing as hell if the owner of your team owns it to make a profit and couldn't care less about winning. Also, have to add how awesome it is that the best Mets podcast is hosted by two legit friends from upstate NY. Cheers from the only Mets fan in Troy, NY!

[@juliorivera2470]

why am i a dodger fan and i was waiting for ya !? lol love this pod !

[@joycemartin-i9g]

i hope sasaki does great, i hope he wins the cy young. what he went through as a child is so tragic.

[@LetthaWrite1inn]

Paul skenes might be a problem

[@ibestrokin]

The Dodgers win their first full-season World Series since 88' and all of a sudden the MLB needs a salsry cap after a season in which the Dodgers didnt even have the highest payroll 🙄 You know what's really bad for baseball? Billionaire owners that don't do anything to improve their bad teams.

[@AmongUsAcademy]

My favourite Dodger podcast ❤

[@brian0703]

Great show! I am glad that you included the story of Sasaki’s personal tragedy. I will be rooting for him and his success this season…

[@christianreyes9362]

Think about this, out of all the podcasts that covered Sasaki, I bet, this is the only one you heard his back story and tragedy. Great podcast!

[@johnnyj.5265]

I'm a Dodgers fan, but I really enjoy listening to your podcast even when the subject matter is solely about the mets.

[@Macgarvin]

Love this podcast but the fact that we’re going to have to become enemies again in the spring hurts a little 😂. Go Dodgers!!

[@hekman2340]

Dodgers' front office is so good that other teams want them tested for PEDs.

[@mikio6444]

Like the podcast…some really good takes

[@jvitela]

Suggestion: how about launching a 2nd podcast called “Why am I a baseball/MLB fan”? And make it national, with an emphasis on the elite teams and compelling storylines from across MLB (including of course the Mets and Dodgers). It’s time!

[@juliohernandez9372]

NEVER sick of the best baseball podcast!

[@keepitmovin4028]

Great show ladies! 💙

[@dragonerwolf]

Good job deep diving his story. Dodgers were the only team giving him the 6 man rotation. I think other teams shut it down. It maybe something to consider for now on.

[@Bacon_Double_Swiss]

I can't believe I committed so much to a Mets Podcast but you two have good chemistry. I've taking on the Mets as my number 2 team. LAD-NYM NLCS for years to come.

[@calenholden7691]

Ohtani signing is the biggest bargain the Dodgers made, attracting both Japanese audience AND elite players

When you think about it…the Mets were originally born from the Dodgers and Giants leaving NY….Their colors are a combination of Dodger blue and Giants orange …..SO…it makes perfect sense they talk Dodgers and that we love this show🤓😎💙💙💙💙

[@CharlieLucky24]

The reason they don’t have a salary cap is because they would also have to add a salary floor which will force the lower third of owners to spend tens of millions to go above the salary floor. As we can all see, at least 10 teams won’t spend. That will kill the owners vote.

[@delivery_man99]

I would be more comfortable if they weren't injury prone, But the names are legit a top notch lineup.

[@felipegallegos1699]

This dodger podcast is🔥😮‍💨

[@steventogami898]

One YT channel said Roki Sasaki signed with LAD because they would use a 6 pitcher rotation. Less total innings to minimize injury.

[@markcohen7991]

Soto not better than Otani. He got a bunch of money and can't play defense and can't run. You guys are the best.

[@kingloo6407]

scott boris

[@markcohen7991]

@kingloo6407 Scott Boris a greedy master manipulator. He has hurt baseball for all the fans. Soto may never get a World Series in the future.

[@MambaJuan53]

[@-kise-5010]

As much as MLB need salary cap, I think the league needs the salary floor so other teams that dont spend gets competitive.

Let's go Dodgers!!!! Roki to Los Angeles!!! Ladies come to LA too hahaha love your podcast

[@rameybartels6291]

A rotation with ages 19, 19, 29, 39, and 39 would have both a mean and median age of 29. Stats are fun. (Details matter.)

[@Mbro-dq2do]

As a Dodgers fan The NLCS vs Mets last year i found this show. Was very impressed at these girls knowledge and talent. Keep it up superstars. Great channel

[@23skidoo46]

I hear Murakami is Max's replacement at 3rd soon. .:D

[@Badfish277]

A salary cap would just help the owners pocket more of the profits. A salary Floor aka minimum salary should be implemented to force teams to spend more to be competitive

[@GraysonGatsby-z2e]

Best rotation in modern mlb history.

[@mr.buddhawolf5972]

[@ColeBoyCole]

Ladies, you should do an episode on salary cap but you should look at how revenue sharing is done in MLB. Then compare how much teams are getting from revenue sharing compared to how much they are spending on player payroll.

[@islandof1780]

Everyone talking about how "illegal" "unfair" "ridiculous" the Dodgers are and there should be salary caps etc. But no one ever talks about how unfair college football is. It's the same exact thing. Every single year, it's the same teams in college football playoffs or ranked teams. And yes, money is a reason. NIL, top of the line facilities, etc.

[@walterswu]

Look at pitching injuries stats over the last 15 years. There’s zero expectation the pitching staff will stay healthy.

[@Tyjohnston1]

Nice chemistry ❤ you ladies have a nice back in forth.

[@qwa711]

Definitely not sick of you ladies! We'll have a 6 man rotation and it's absurd too, whether it's Kershaw or Gonsolin

[@ramen_noodles4305]

Next Year in the 2026 season the dodgers will have: Snell, Glasnow, Yamamoto, Ohtani, Sasaki, Gonsolin, Stone, Miller, Sheehan, River Ryan, Kyle Hurt, Michael Grove, and Nick Frasso (Top Prospect). They could have a 13 man rotation, more than half of which have all star potential and Glasnow, Yamamoto, Snell, Ohtani, Sasaki, Gonsolin, and Stone could very well have a 2.50 ERA season and compete for a Cy Young award.

[@MaverickTomcat69]

[@jamesbuckley8917]

The way to end teams from buying an all-star team is to limit or eliminate the deferrals.

[@ThunderPants13]

2025 Dodgers potential starting rotation: Yoshinobu Yamamoto Tyler Glasnow Blake Snell Shohei Ohtani Roki Sasaki And that doesn't even include Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, Landon Knack, Emmett Sheehan, Gavin Stone, and possibly Clayton Kershaw, who are all potential starters at some point.

[@ColeBoyCole]

The Phillies saw a chance to add a player that could help them. Plus, if the Phillies help the Dodgers get Roki it makes the Padres less dangerous. Makes it more likely the Padres miss the playoffs opening a spot for the Phillies in the playoffs

[@sebbaslopez1424]

Every year before the season starts for the dodgers there's talk of a 6 man rotation. By may, 2 arms are down by july another arm is out and were having bull pin games 😮 so we'll see how it goes

[@wokeupmens]

Dodgers got another well trained pup. MLB must step in. Unreal; I can't keep buying new jerseys. 😅 Love you gals🔥

[@Badfish277]

All of the teams make tons of money. Teams like the Dodgers decide to invest their earnings on their product. The smaller market teams benefit greatly on teams that spend over the salary threshold because they get to pocket more cash from revenue sharing.
