00:00So Bruce, let's delve into what you reported on Saturday, and that was that the Yankees and the

00:04Red Sox have shown some interest in Jamison Tyone. And when I asked you if Jamison Tyone will be a

00:09Cub beyond July 30th, you said, not likely. Anything since Saturday developed? Well, the

00:16only thing that gives you hesitation are all the injuries that the Cubs have had to their pitchers.

00:23Right now, they have 10 pitchers on the IL. They're right up there with two other teams in

00:34the most pitchers on the IL. Can you trade a reliable starting pitcher when you have as many

00:42injuries as the Cubs have? Now, if you're trading him, you're trading Tyone, you're going to get

00:49inventory back. People only hear, oh, they're trading him, and that's not good for us. Well,

00:56you're going to trade, you're going to get people back. Obviously, younger people,

01:00maybe more controllable contracts. So you're not just giving a guy like Tyone away if you make the

01:07move. There are some teams out there that really need pitching, including the Red Sox, Yankees,

01:16and Dodgers at this point. So anything much can happen. The Dodgers among those

01:24three teams has the best inventory as far as minor league system goes.
