00:00So after dreaming of Corbin Burns, or Max Freed, and conversations about Justin Verlander
00:06and things like that, are they done in terms of rotation?
00:10Justin Steele, Shota Imanaga, Jamison Tyone, Matthew Boyd, and perhaps Javier Assad?
00:16Is that the rotation at this point?
00:19You know, I think, yes, at this point it obviously is, right?
00:22And I don't think they're going out there saying, we have to find another starter.
00:27From what I've gathered over the past 24 hours, that's not what they're doing.
00:31They're not aggressively pursuing more starters with a laser focus on that aspect of the team.
00:39I do think they're looking to improve in any fashion.
00:42So that's just, I mean, that's just what it is right now.
00:47Anything where they see improvement, a possibility for improvement, they'll be aggressive there.
00:54It was kind of interesting.
00:55I was texting with some people and I said, it doesn't sound like there's urgency.
00:59And I got pushback on that.
01:00There is urgency.
01:01They want to improve.
01:03It's just not laser focus on bullpen or finding a left-handed bat.
01:08It's not that.
01:09There's no, it's how can we improve?
01:11How can we get better?
01:12This team has to be better.
01:13They know that.
01:14This isn't the finished product.
01:16I think we're going to hear a lot of trade rumors, especially once Juan Soto signs some
01:21of those bigger names.
01:22You mentioned it.
01:23It is disappointing.
01:24That should be disappointed.
01:25I get it.
01:26They're not in on the big names.
01:29There's no excuse for that.
01:31Yeah, because if it seemed like that, if they wanted to upgrade, I don't know, right field
01:36and left-handed hitting, then Juan Soto would probably take care of that for them.
01:43You're preaching to the choir, Lawrence.
01:44I don't think you'd find many fans that disagree with you.
01:49I think most people agree with that.
01:52I just think the reality is this is how the budget that they have, that they're working
01:58with, I mean, they had with once Cody Bellinger opted in, it was about, you know, like I want
02:06to say like 50 ish million to work with.
02:08And right now, or, you know, 60, let's say 50, 60 million below the first luxury tax
02:13threshold.
02:14Right now they're about 40 million.
