Talkin’ Blue: DodgerFest Reactions, WBC Drama, Kershaw’s NBC Deal + Roster Shuffle | Episode 7

A LOT happened around the Dodgers, and Cody and Vince break it all down in this new episode of Talkin’ Blue. We start with DodgerFest, reacting to the vibes, surprises, and what stood out most from the weekend. Did the event meet expectations, and what moments actually mattered? Then we get into the World Baseball Classic conversation as Edwin Díaz commits to Team Puerto Rico, joining Dodgers stars like Ohtani, Yamamoto, Will Smith, and Kim. Díaz’s history makes this especially notable after his devastating 2023 WBC injury that cost him an entire MLB season. That leads into the growing issue of WBC insurance problems, with players like Miguel Rojas speaking out, and reminders of Clayton Kershaw’s 2023 situation that forced him to back out. Is Team Puerto Rico facing more behind-the-scenes drama? We also cover a wild roster shuffle: • The Dodgers reclaim Mike Siani off waivers after yet another journey around the league • Andy Ibáñez is DFA’d after signing earlier this offseason. What does this move signal? Plus, more Dodgers notes: • Ryder Ryan signs a minor league deal with a Spring Training invite • Cole Irvin joins on a minor league contract • And the big question: when does Kiké Hernández sign? To close it out, we react to the surprising news that Clayton Kershaw is joining NBC Sports, stepping into broadcasting as NBC takes over Sunday Night Baseball and marquee MLB games starting in 2026. Tap in for all of it. Dodgers season is getting closer, and the news is heating up. Like, comment, and subscribe for weekly Dodgers talk with Cody and Vince. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
