So you would expect that there would be some more homers, but not this many more. matched

So I expect he'll be better going forward just because it's fairly unsustainable that that many of his fly balls are going to turn into homers. matched

But clearly this isn't like somebody who's going to be in the top three or even four of your rotation. matched

I mean, this is going to be the back end of the rotation. matched

We'll see if Shane Bieber and Max Scherzer are still around going forward. matched

And somebody who's serviceable, somebody who can five and dive for you, somebody who will take the ball every five days, somebody who can. matched

kitchen sink his way through a lineup a couple of times um like i said the stuff just is not the same as it's been for him earlier in his career so he's having to get hitters out differently now and just mix and match a lot more and really like lean into the depth of his arsenal a lot more his fastball usage this year is as low it's as it's been since like very early in his career and that just speaks to the way that he's had to lean more on matched

the sweeper to righties and the change up in the curve ball to lefties and trying to cut the ball a little bit and sink it a little bit and just do some different things to move off the barrel of bats. matched

Clearly it hasn't been that successful considering the home run issues, but I think you trust that, you know, Sam green and Pete Walker and Luke Hoey and everybody in the blue Jays pitching department can hopefully help him get a bit more out of himself over these final two months. matched

And perhaps most importantly for the blue Jays, just, matched

eat some innings without Kevin Gossman going out there every five days, giving you six or seven. matched

Well, this is a point in the deadline process where the Blue Jays can really use the clock to their advantage because the Blue Jays don't have to do anything. matched

This isn't like an everything must go or just getting rid of guys for the sake of getting rid of guys deadline. matched

If the Blue Jays end up holding a couple of their expiring contract veterans, it's not the worst thing in the world, particularly if you don't love the return on them. matched

Yeah. matched

I think that if you're the Blue Jays right now, and you already have, express to buyers, hey, here's the frameworks that we're looking for. matched

Here's what it would take to make this deal happen. matched

Like literally right now, if you're willing to do that, we'll do that right now. matched

And it's going to be a very high ask and teams probably won't do it. matched

And then you just let the clock work to your advantage. matched
