Locked On Dodgers – Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers had six players named as Silver Slugger finalists in seven spots. How many actually have a chance to win the award? We take a look. Mookie Betts practiced with the Memphis Tigers men's basketball team and it appears that not everyone was thrilled about it (**cough Dave Vassegh cough**). Lastly, is Brusdar Graterol more of a trade candidate or a closer candidate for the Dodgers?

Tyler Anderson was one of the best starters in the National League this year; will he be back with the Dodgers next year? Jeff is here to talk about that, along with a really cool story about how Clayton Kershaw came to wear number 22 with the Dodgers, inspired by the birthday of the guy who gave the number to him. And finally, we talk about Willy Adames, a possibility to be Los Angeles's shortstop in 2023 that we might not have thought as much about.

With Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge about to hit free agency, the Dodgers are one of the teams being linked to him. A recent report suggested that Mookie Betts could be moved from right field to second base to make room for Judge. Jeff is here to discuss whether that's actually likely. Also, an analysis looked at how, when, and why Cody Bellinger stopped being a great hitter, and the results might surprise you. And finally, David Vassegh and Jerry Hairston Jr. have an interesting, easy answer for why the Dodgers lost in the NLDS, which is probably a little too easy.

With Julio Urías' free agency coming and Walker Buehler coming after that, should the Dodgers make a concerted effort to lock them down with extensions? There are pros and cons for both player and team in doing so, so Vince takes a look at that. Lastly, Justin Turner put out an Instagram post apologizing and thanking the fans for 2022. It may help some of those who wanted players to be more remorseful for losing.

Should the Dodgers consider trading Will Smith? It wasn't an actual rumor but a thought from Alden Gonzalez of ESPN and the guys talk about the idea of trading the Dodgers star catcher. Kenley Jansen "spoke" to TMZ and it led to talk of a reunion with the Dodgers so the guys also get into that. Lastly, the World Series is set with the Phillies taking on the Astros and some thoughts on the matchup are shared by Jeff and Vince.

Justin Turner has a team option worth $16M for 2023 and it's fair to question if they should bring him back. Jeff breaks down the fit and if the Dodgers should pick up the option. The Dodgers had two Gold Glove finalists and that sounds about right. Lastly, there's lingering rumors that the Dodgers may be interested in pursuing Aaron Judge. Is that something they should do?

The Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw both have decisions to make this offseason. Kershaw has to decide what he wants to do in 2023, and the Dodgers have to decide how much time they want to give him to make that decision. Also, should the Dodgers focus a bit more on personalities when bringing in players? Lastly, should the Dodgers consider different types of players when it comes to rounding out a roster?

Dodgers president of baseball ops Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes had their annual end-of-season press conference on Tuesday, answering questions about Dave Roberts, Clayton Kershaw, and Cody Bellinger, among other things. In other news, NFL Network's Rich Eisen spouted some nonsense about Dave Roberts. Jeff is here to talk about all of that, and then to dig into the lousy NLDS umpiring and why MLB refuses to get that right.

Today's episode focuses on Game 4 and the many decisions made in that game by Dave Roberts and the coaching staff. There was the decision on the lineup going into the game -- should Joey Gallo been given a chance? There was the decision to pull Tyler Anderson after just five innings. And lastly, there was the many bullpen decisions made the rest of the game and in that fateful 7th inning.

The Dodgers lost in four games in the NLDS to the San Diego Padres and their 111-win season is over. It was a sad way to go out and there's a lot of reasons and things to talk about on why that happened. This episode is just Jeff and Vince going through the emotions of the Dodgers season being over.

Tony Gonsolin will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS on Friday night in San Diego. Blake Snell will go for the Padres. We also now know who the starting nine will be for L.A., if not the batting order. Jeff is here to talk about the decision to start Gonsolin and hold Tyler Anderson back for Game 4, along with some thoughts on Blake Snell's last time facing the Dodgers in the postseason and the game plan to beat Snell and the Padres in Game 3. We spend a little time making fun of Jurickson Profar's terrible, awful, embarrassing strikeout against Clayton Kershaw, and finally we wrap up with some thoughts about the FS1 broadcast team overall, and specifically in their utter lack of curiosity on Max Muncy's weird single in Game 2.

It was a frustrating night for the Dodgers and the offense on Wednesday night. They were able to chase Yu Darvish before six innings but were unable to get that big hit to get them tied or take a lead. Clayton Kershaw's night was just ok and the bullpen after wasn't as lights out as the night before; however, there were some standouts. There was an interesting decision to pinch-hit with Austin Barnes in a key situation so the guys talk about that decision as well. Now the series heads to San Diego and we will see Tony Gonsolin on the mound in Game 3.

The Dodgers took Game 1 of the NLDS thanks to some early offense and some late relief from the bullpen. Julio Urías had an ok start but the bullpen backed him up and shut things down for four innings. Offensively, the Dodgers knocked out Mike Clevinger early with five runs and that was all they needed.
