we always say at the GM meetings or whatever, Hey GM, what do you think that the off season is going to look like?

Right.

Yeah.

I mean, and you get these answers.

Oh, I think it's going to be like, we just don't know.

And this Brandon, I feel like this off season was even more different than last off season.

I think it's,

I think it's dragged out more.

I mean, you tell me if I'm wrong.

Because you're in the middle of it.

You're in the middle of conversations about how agents are approaching, how players are approaching, how other teams are approaching trades, all of that.

But one of the quotes that you had when you were on with us before, and I love it, and I've cited it a million times about, you know, we do our best to make sure that we don't have to get desperate and pay three times, three X at the trade deadline.

We're doing our best to do that.

It's hard to do, but we're doing our best to do that.

So you go in the offseason with all the plans, and then you hit, wait a second, this offseason looks a little bit different.

How has this, that's my very long-winded way of asking you, how has this offseason looked differently?

How has it felt differently?

I mean, a lot of people are sitting in your seat through every team.

That's the thing about how this has evolved in baseball with offseason.

The patience part of it is just nuts.
