Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington react to the news that the Los Angeles Dodgers are signing two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell. To Rob, this is a huge indicator that the Dodgers have officially taken over the mantle as the "evil empire" of the MLB. Kelvin, on the other hand, isn't quite there yet.

Rob Parker: "This is a public service announcement to MLB America: you should hate the Los Angeles Dodgers if you're a baseball fan! 'Cause you hated the New York Yankees when they were the evil empire! Everybody around baseball America cried like babies when George Steinbrenner had the big purse! When he was spending the big bucks and signing people and making trades and doing whatever it cost [to win]. Don't let the Dodgers off the hook now that they're the new version of the evil empire!... Last offseason they spent a billion dollars for two players!... You can't embrace this! You must dislike the Dodgers moving forward -- I don't care where you are!"

Kelvin Washington: "People won't hate them the way they hate the Yankees... They haven't won enough! People think of them as chokers. They have to win more before they're the new evil empire."
