The Red Sox are spending money.

So how is it that the Dodgers are the ones that are breaking kind of all of this and that they're the reason that we have to go into a lockout?

I mean, to use an example, Nolan Arenado added the Arizona Diamondbacks to his non-trade list.

And he's been nothing but complimentary about how that organization is run.

I believe he lives in Phoenix.

I may be wrong, but I believe he lives there.

So for him, it's home.

But it's one of those where sometimes you have to kind of be unconventional in certain ways and you make the deal work, right?

Yeah.

The Cardinals were going to move on from Nolan for all intents and purposes.

They wanted to find a way out.

The player made it easier to kind of make it happen because they have that no trade clause.

But I will say, to your point, if the Pirates want to keep Paul Skeens...

if the Dodgers come a calling, cause obviously when that dude goes to free agency, he's going to go to free agency.

He'd be foolish not to, and to see kind of what the market is going to dictate what he gets.

But it's one of those where like, if the Dodgers come a calling, if the Yankees come a calling, and let's just say for all intents and purposes, the Red Sox come a calling.

Cause if the Red Sox don't come a calling, that's a bigger problem.

But those were the three blue bloods of the sport.

Right.
