Is it working?

Am I getting, you know, I don't want to say complaints because it's a professional environment.

I don't think that they're out there, you know,

You're talking badly behind each other's back, but you got to get a read on it because, yeah, you're not going to send around, you know, anonymous pull on it and have the have the players.

And I know you're not saying that, but, you know, you got to you got to make that call.

And you've got to as the front office and the coaching staff, you've got to make that best determination based on how you think those interactions go.

Everybody in the clubhouse gets like a Google form.

For roster building by, yeah, why not?

Anonymous polling.

Someone should give it a shot.

Maybe, yeah, maybe not this 2026 Blue Jays, but I would love to see that.

I would say Cease is possibly closest based on John Schneider saying there's a chance it could be one and done.

And clearly he has the biggest impact potential.

We've seen that already in the first couple months of the season, fully expect him to be an impact starting pitcher going forward.

So ideal world, he doesn't need too much time.

The hamstring responds well to the agility exercises, the bullpen sessions, and then he's back within, you know,

10 days, let's say.

And whether it's a start, whether it's two starts, not too far off.

Then behind that, I think Scherzer will go start by start.

We were talking to him as, you know, when I say we, you, myself, a couple others in the media were talking to him in the Blue Jays clubhouse here in Atlanta the other day.
