The Los Angeles Dodgers have been accused of buying championships, much like the Yankees of the late 90’s, a team that was dubbed the “Evil Empire.” But Dan doesn’t think there is the same hate and vitriol surrounding these Dodgers, a team that’s filled with beloved players and good guys.
Dan Patrick: “I don’t know if they’re rooting for the Blue Jays or rooting against the Dodgers but, you know, have the Dodgers graduated to the ‘Evil Empire?’ Do you dislike the Dodgers? Like, I don’t think (Shohei) Ohtani has graduated to that where now you don’t like him or now you root against him because it’s still a great story and you’re seeing something you’ve never seen before, but Freddie Freeman? Clayton Kershaw? Dave Roberts? Mookie Betts? Those aren’t guys that you root against.”
