You're listening to the best of the odd couple with Chris

Brousso and Rob Parker.

A few days ago, I mean, it stole the show with the $700 million signing of Shohei Otani, going to the L.A. Dodgers.

And then a few days ago.

One of your former coworkers, Chris, broke the story.

Jack Curry, who worked at the New York Times when you did. Did you know Jack at all a little bit? I knew him. I think we might have met, but you know how it is. You didn't cover, right. He's covering baseball. I was covering basketball. Yeah, Jack worked at the time for a long time. He's an analyst at the Yes Network. Yeah. But what he broke was Yoshinobu.

Hope I said it right.

Yamamoto, the pitcher from Japan, of course, Shoah is from Japan.

He signed Rob also with the Dodgers, $325 million over 12 years.

And now the Dodgers, of course,

have those two fantastic players combining them with Mookie Betts

and Freddie Freeman.

I mean, they are the very definition of a super team.

And they did even more.

So, Rob, do you think that you have an interesting take on Yamamoto?

Yamamoto.

And I think this is very interesting. I want to hear your thoughts on this. Chris, I get it if you're the Dodgers. You do whatever you can. You know what I mean? He's available. You go after him. Other teams were going after him, the Yankees, the match to Red Sox. I get it. You know what I mean? And they have money to spend. So I get that.
