Dodgers Face Major Shohei Ohtani Pitching Decision

Do you believe that moving forward for the Dodgers with Shohei Ohtani, do you think they're going to make a decision on whether or not they're going to put him on the hill exclusively or put him at the dish exclusively because of these injuries here? You can't have him look like that, Bob, at the plate. I mean, you've got to make a decision here on what you want to do with him. He's becoming an older player, too. The wear and tear, I would think, on him as well, you have to start thinking about with that $70 million investment you make. Well, it would either be at the plate exclusively or do a little of both. Not just pitch exclusively. He loves a hit. That's the bread and butter. He says he wants to continue pitching. I always thought that next year would be his last year of pitching. Maybe it's already done. He loves a hit. He loves the home runs. I think he just pitched because he knew he could do both. Kind of cool for him to dominate both sides. But I think if his pitching days aren't over already, they're pretty close. What's next for the Dodgers, though, as an organization? What does Andrew Friedman have to do, the general manager, president of the organization, in your opinion? Or is it just this, Bob? Let's run it back. I know there's some decisions that are going to be made. They just had a retirement. There's certain guys out there with their contracts that are up. In your opinion, what does Friedman do moving forward? I think they've got to sign Trev Hoskin. Well, you know, I think a lot decided before December 1st, before the lockout hits. We'll see with the Mark Walter investigation and how much money they actually have, but that would make the most sense. And, you know, they already got guys under contract, so you're still bringing back the core. But, you know, we got young guys like Capala, Paez, that sort of thing. I think they're pretty much just running back, you know, to kind of, you know, bring some guys in, probably need some more bullpen arms. we'll see but I think we'll see most of these guys when I come back
