Dodgers Eye Small Changes as Mets Loom for Tarik Skubal

Arash, we'll ask you, you think there's going to be big changes, small changes, no changes with this Dodger franchise and what they're going to do moving forward? Yeah, I really think small changes, Dan. I think, you know, the big superstars of this team are going to come back next season. You're going to have, you know, Otani, Yamamoto, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Max Muncy, you go down the list. What they do lose is these clubhouse guys, which is why I think that they're not going to be as good moving forward they are older they were already the oldest team in the league but when you lose a Miguel Rojas, when you lose a Kike Hernandez those are the clubhouse guys that's the glue of the team those are the voices when you're down you know 3-1 in a series that gets to get the guys together and so both of those guys are going to be gone Miguel Rojas is retiring, TK's considering it. He may go to another team. The superstars will remain, but the glue guys, the guys who really made this such a championship team these last two years, they will miss those guys for sure. It's the greatest era of Dodger baseball in the franchise's history, going all the way back to Brooklyn, too. Scooble, do you think they are the frontrunners to get him and bring him back? I know the Padre name was brought up. The Mets, obviously, will be in that conversation, too. Do you still think, though, that the Dodgers are the leader in the clubhouse on this guy? They are. I think if the Mets want him, they will get him, though. I think the Dodgers will make a very competitive offer for Terrence Schuble. I think if that is the contract they would like to get done before this work stoppage. But if the Mets swoop in and they're like, this is the guy that we want, I don't think the Dodgers are going to go crazy. They're not going to exceed a crazy figure. They have a number in mind, short-term contract. They will have a competitive offer, but something tells me, Dan, that Terry Stubble will be on the New York Mets next season.
