00:00Uh, I think what we did last week was in fairness, look, we overreacted or we focused on the
00:08wrong part of what Jed Hoyer had to say.
00:10That's fair because his words told us one thing or were interpreted one way, but his
00:14actions have said another.
00:16So when he said on Monday that the Cubs were not going to do anything to add to 2024, we
00:21ran with that as we typically can.
00:24Media does these things and then we're guilty as charged.
00:26But we thought that that meant, okay, there's basically waving the white flag on the season.
00:33Adding two players, Nate Pearson and Isak Paredes to this roster makes them better now
00:40and later.
00:41So they're buyers more than sellers.
00:43They're opportunists and they took advantage.
