West Coast Bias: Dodgers Early Spring Training Takeaways With Bill Plunkett

No, no, no.

And, and so I think having, and I, and I think it's just important to emphasize that because also the Dodgers have obviously have something in the works for the future.

Cause they don't just look at this off season, next off season, however many, you know, they look several ahead to kind of see how they can, you know, you've taught, you've heard Andrew Friedman talk about it, going and getting X player to make it work with what they're looking at.

And so, so I, you know,

Again, looking to the future, that's that.

But I think for 2026, you know, I think I'd be foolish to think that Mookie isn't going to, you know, kind of do the thing.

But here's the interesting thing, because you have Otani, who's a unicorn, you know, two-way player.

He also does that for the pitching rotation.

You know, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, I honestly think, is going to be a Cy Young contender.

Again, just...

And I think the reason it's going to be casually is because Otani really does set those standards for himself.

West Coast Bias: Dodgers Early Spring Training Takeaways With Bill Plunkett

I think it'll be a healthy competition between Yoshi and Otani, but nonetheless, it's not a great, it's not a bad place to be in when you have two contending pitchers for the Cy Young on one roster.

Right.

So I wanted to ask you about the rotation.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Early Spring Training Takeaways With Bill Plunkett

We talked about Gavin maybe getting in there for the season to start as well.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
West Coast Bias: Dodgers Early Spring Training Takeaways With Bill Plunkett

Rotation-wise, do you think that this rotation, and obviously the other big thing too is everyone's healthy.

West Coast Bias: Dodgers Early Spring Training Takeaways With Bill Plunkett

As far as we kind of know, everyone's healthy, Glass now included.
