Things happen and the picture changes.

The one thing that the Dodgers do have is depth.

If things aren't going great in the first couple months, well, here come Brock Stewart and Evan Phillips to reinforce and bounce a couple other guys out of the way.

Ben Kasperius, Justin Robleski, on and on.

Yeah, they have a lot of options.

You know, not as weird as I thought it would be.

His locker right by the door that goes to the weight room is now Blake Snell's.

Well, Clayton was never at his locker very much.

And neither is Blake Snell this spring.

So it's just the usual empty locker.

I think, you know, for fans, it may be more emotional.

But I think we were kind of prepared for this.

You saw how it was coming.

You know, Clayton had his physical issues the last couple of springs and was not even around that much.

So it was like we kind of he he was nice enough to kind of ease us into it.

But it is definitely the end of an era.

This is a Hall of Fame first ballot guy.

I think he will be around more than you realize because he's doing the NBC broadcasting.

And I think he's going to be terrific at it as long as he lets himself be terrific at it.

You know, a lot of times retired players censor themselves too much and they become bland and don't add a lot.
