Three two one what’s up gentlemen how you doing good to see y’all FR say hi show Mook I’ll make it look like we’re doing something here you guys say hi in the morning to each other oh yeah morning our lockers are right next to each other who talks the most not

Me he didn’t talk the most but I don’t know I don’t know we we all get there and we just start getting ready and we start going so it’s mostly just hives good mornings and we reconvene when we start going up to the plate together yeah that’s I kind of got the

Feeling that Freddy talks the most he talks I don’t yeah you think Freddy talks the most I don’t think I talk the most do I I don’t know I’ll ask he he’s new so I’ll ask sh who talks the most fredd so let me ask you guys the first

Time you saw sh not Dodger uniform first time ever what were your first impressions I’ll sawry you move the first time I saw sh I think was when he started against us in Anaheim I think wasn’t that the first time and uh yeah I took him deep first time first at

B High Fly ball well hit deep left back back back gone sh Otani say hello to spooky bets it was cool but but it wasn’t it was more like more kind of like a wow type thing and then to see him hitting and pitching Indescribable how great sh

Otani is I was like oh my gosh that’s the stuff you do as a kid yeah and you know like and he’s doing it in the big leagues and that it’s I think even back then all of us were like how is this even possible you know what I mean like

It’s just amazing to watch because he’s doing it at the highest level and pretty much better than everybody else I think that’s the coolest part like how you better than everybody yeah both it’s so when you guys heard the news that sh was going to be a free agent negotiating

With the Dodgers what were your first thoughts Freddy when you heard that the whole thing that week you know um hearing about planes going to Toronto and stuff like that I think we’re all just like you know when he signed with us I think I think I don’t think I lost

A smile for a few days you know it’s it’s just one of those things where we get to have sh on our team and be a part of this organization and you know get to play with show so sh was it always the Dodgers then like they wanted him out of

High school when did it become the Dodgers for you during this whole process so M he becomes a Dodger and a 700 million what were your thoughts when you heard the numbers man when I uh I didn’t know I just said wow that’s all you can really say is wow

I mean there’s I mean he deserves it and there’s no argument to it like there’s nobody like him there’s nobody that provides everything from on the field off the field I mean now he checks all the boxes he deserves one thing he didn’t steal more bases than Freddy

He also missed the month though I think I would have lost okay I want to talk a little hitting watching him take batting practice what did you like what did you take away when you got to see him every day now well it’s completely different from how I would hit batting practice

And I you I don’t know if that was part of rehab or anything like that but he’s launching ball 600 feet okay I just I don’t know how to hit a home run and batting practice I’m just trying to hit soft line drives a short stop cuz that’s

My swing but when he hits fatting practice everyone watches so now that you’re not pitching will your hitting get more attention will that help you so what about the order what do you think is best I mean I want to hit ninth I got you I got you I got you

Whatever doc wants us to do I think if you talk to all three of us we don’t care we just we just want to score the most runs and win the most games right now this is what we’re going to go with and we’ll see how it works who leads in

Home runs this year I don’t hit I I I slap balls I’m stealing all right who leads uh in average who hits the highest this year I would say probably him I don’t know I I would I don’t all right I who leads in doubles this

Year you think he he hit 60 and Freddy Freeman cruises into second another double another deep line drive up the Gap runs scored I think I will win yeah I got I got them too going head to-head on that now RBI Freddy it might be tough

To man i’ be nothing on the table he might hit all the home runs and take all the I got to be on for your home R yeah all right who leads in steals yeah I’m going I think I think mine was a onee Wonder with the three of you in the

Lineup do you guys understand the impact as a fan a couple games this this spring has been really cool like I let off the game with a hit then he hits a double then he hit a homer or he hit a single and it’s like dang we had we had one we

Had one game where he went single single single and it was like boom like that within like five pitch like well this is kind of fun and Freddy a base hit and M is going to come around third and score around second and heading for third is

Otani and one two three bets Otani and Freeman all base hits one- nothing Dodgers last thing if we’re sitting here in October and the Dodgers are chasing down a World Series what will have happened this year I think it’s for all of us Health y we got to stay healthy

That’s the key you know I really hope that happens cuz we we need to get shoh into the playoffs you know yes he hasn’t been in the playoffs well we saw what he can do with WBC oh yeah Otani to Mike Trout trout Straight Out Swinging Otani and Japan celebrate a

World Baseball Classic Championship I think we’ve already seen him play right but I think that’s when we’ll see a different side he’s made for this you know like you saw it during then yeah so now we got to get there you know got to get there we’ll see it’s easy to talk

About but we still got to go do it on the field so that’s the main thing hold on I got one more thing not only did he have a dog nobody knew about then he got married that no one knew about nobody knew about have you guys given him

Advice yet on the on on being I haven’t given advice I just said congratulations I give advice now just say yes h
