Sometimes you have a double header or you use your long guy and he's down for three days.

And you need protection if your starter goes short or he gets hit in the ankle in the first inning.

So having guys with options that have some upside and some stuff...

I think, you know, you just you take a shot at those guys, especially in a cash considerations deal.

So you can wait till they go on outright waivers and see if you get the claim or you can jump the line and do a cash deal if the team's willing to do that and ensure you get the player.

So we're aggressive with that.

You do 100 of these, you get one.

You get one Dylan Lee out of these deals, it's a no-brainer, right?

Dylan Lee was released out of minor league spring training from the Marlins at the end of camp.

And obviously he's been a really successful reliever for us and a great success story.

there's plenty of examples across the board of guys that have jumped around and bounced around.

So, you know, you call it churn and so on.

It's worth it.

Again, there's, you could have so many of these and you hit on one guy, it pays for itself a lot of times over.

Good night.

Yeah, I think if you're selective with your core and...

who you're carrying.

Look, you look at the Yankees teams and so on.

But I think it'd be the right players.

And look, you look at the Braves who are on a successful team division.
