00:00I don't think the, the raise once, you know, it's interesting because it's like, it's kind
00:08of showing your hand a little bit. Like once you send away a Rosarita, I think you send
00:14away and an affluent, right? So once you send away those guys, I feel like everyone's on
00:20the market. There's no reason to hold back Yandi or a much more of a parade is if you're
00:27sending away a Rosarita, right? I mean, a Rosarita was kind of, he was, I mean, he was
00:32like the raise poster boy in a lot of ways. Yeah. I mean, since Longoria, I mean, it was
00:41really a Rosarita. Yeah. I, you know, I, I really, you know, in the, in the way that
00:48I was saying how I, I wish all teams were competitive. I wish, you know, the, the raise
00:52having a fire sale, it's, it's not great. I, you know, I, I don't love it. I understand
00:58why they're doing it. The, the Yankees are tough. The Oreos are tough. The Red Sox probably
01:04are better than the raise even, but still it stinks to see the, you know, cause the
01:09raise were good there for a couple of years and now they're going to go into fire sale
01:14mode and the raise are going to become a terrible team again for another, you know, five, six
01:20years. Like, I don't want to see that really. Honestly, I don't not, it's not good for baseball.
01:24It's not good for the raise. But you know, it is what it is. I, but you know, long story
01:30short anyway, yes. Paradis and Yondi are gone. I hopefully actually, you know, Paradis wouldn't
01:38look bad in Pittsburgh. I wouldn't, I wouldn't mind that. You know, the, the stadium isn't
01:45necessarily the best stadium for them, but it's a good bat for the middle of the lineup.
01:50So yeah, Paradis is gone. I actually, I wouldn't be surprised if, when all everything's said
01:57and done, if Taj Bradley is the only one left.
