Hal on the Gum-chewer: "Every manager, if you look at any five games or seven games or 10 games, is going to make mistakes. Obviously in the postseason, they’re magnified. I’m not saying he makes the right decision every time. I think some of the critique is justified. But overall I think he does his homework quite well, deals with his coaches quite well, and listens to their advice, even in-game, and makes a lot of good decisions.”

Cashman on Hicks: "He’s signed under contract. He’ll come back and try to take and earn a position back and a place that we can count on. He does have the ability; we just weren’t able to tap into it consistently this past year, and I know he was frustrated by that.”

More mush from the mush-master: "We're just going to keep plugging away like we did last year. We improved on defense, we improved in other areas, we're going to have to sit down like we always do and see what areas we need improvement in, who we're going to bring back that was with us this year, who we're not. We've got a couple of young kids, three young kids actually, that we're excited to see more and more of. So, we're just going to work. Unacceptable what happened. No doubt about it."

"The Dodgers potentially have a lot of money coming off the books, including the salaries of free agent Trea Turner; Cody Bellinger, who is arbitration-eligible and made $17 million this year, but they could trade or non-tender him; Justin Turner, who has a club option at $16 million with a $2 million buyout; and Craig Kimbrel, who made $16 million this year. That’s more than enough to land Judge."
