and you know we're really excited to also see that bobblehead that comes along with it so you know enough of what i have to say you know we're really excited to have edwin here and we'd like to officially welcome him to the dodgers family

Yeah, I mean, we've obviously checked in from the get-go and then over the last, you know, week or so started to, you know, talk started to intensify and pick up some steam.

So, you know, the opportunity obviously checked in.

Yeah, I mean, we've obviously checked in from the get go and then over the last, you know, week or so started to, you know, talk started to intensify and pick up some some steam.

So, you know, the opportunity to add somebody of this caliber to what's already a really talented bullpen was something that we weren't sure was going to be able to actually come to fruition, but really fired up that it did.

Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously adding an elite closer like Edwin is going to make any bullpen better.

Now it allows, you know, Doc and our coaching staff to kind of put guys into spots leading up to that, knowing that it doesn't really matter who's in the ninth, that we're going to like the matchup.

And also, you know, layering on, he's done this on the biggest stage in the playoffs, like having that confidence as well is something that,

we were looking for and we were really pumped about.

Yeah, I mean, I think obviously adding talent on talent is always exciting to do.

The biggest thing, one of the bigger things with Edwin is just the positivity.

Everything we've heard is like, this guy's just an incredible human being, but also he's going to work his tail off, you know, mentor younger guys, set good habits.

So I think just on top of the player he is, the person fits into the clubhouse culture and is going to make everybody else around him better.

Yep.

Yeah, I have to agree and disagree with you, Dan.

So first of all, the job thing, yeah, I agree.

You have to viciously attack that issue.

You have to apply like crazy.

I did a lot of crazy things to get here, and I can tell that story.

But when it comes to affordability, it's just an objective fact that it's a much different situation than it was when you were, say, my age.
