EXPLAINED: Elly De La Cruz Potential and Contract

guys Trent actually before today's show we were talking and while the Reds are now eliminated mathematically from the playoffs we've known that for a long time the Dodgers clinched the NL West division and it was funny on the broadcast today You wouldn't be able to tell.

It looks to me like it was any other, you know, end of any other match or, you know, game for them.

Yeah.

How was it after the game? Did they were they excited?

I mean, yeah, they did the celebration thing with the champagne and all that, but it wasn't.

For the Dodgers, they've had more important celebrations and they expect to have more important celebrations.

So this kind of felt like going through the motions.

It was nowhere near like what the Reds were last year, you know, in Milwaukee.

Those things where everybody pops a champagne and does it, they're fun.

But this was as mutative one as I've ever experienced.

And that's because, I mean, let's see.

This is the 13th time in the last 14 years the Dodgers have won the division.

They've been to the playoffs 14 years in a row, or at least 14 years in a row.

So this was like, you know, and you saw it with the Brewers when they beat the Reds in the first game of that series.

And

then again earlier this week with the Dodgers.

A lot of these teams that are going to win the division, they'll do like a little toast for winning, for clinching the playoffs, and then the celebration for the division.

So expect, shoot, we could have one more of those against the Reds because the Braves could clinch their division while the Reds are in Atlanta.

The Cubs can clinch their wild card, their playoff appearance as soon as Saturday.

So that would be against the Reds here in Great American Ballpark.

And then Reds finish with the Blue Jays, who aren't dead yet in the American League, which is just terrible.

So there's still a possibility.

You could have five series in a row against the Reds where a team clinches.

And that's I mean, that tells you how tough that schedule was to finish the season.

But yeah, just kind of crazy that that's a possibility.
