And let's face it, the bar is lower because Anthony Volpe, in the end, turned out to be a disappointment for the Yankees.

You know, the Brewers did some adding pitching depth.

I was most surprised by the Braves.

I thought because, look, if you were looking for a right-handed hitter, if you were looking for a relief pitcher, it was a really thin market.

If you were looking for a starting pitcher, there were a ton of guys out there.

It was like a game of musical chairs among the contenders.

And I thought for sure that both the Braves and the Phillies would bolster their rotation.

And so when we got to the deadline and Trevor Rodgers of the Orioles hadn't been traded yet,

and the Braves hadn't landed him or hadn't landed Brady Singer or one of the guys, Casey Mize or Robbie Ray, that was a surprise to me.

You know, Alex Anthopoulos was the general manager who back in 2021 famously added like four or five outfielders and went on to win the World Series.

I thought he would do more.

It's kind of like a poker game, right?

How many rounds of bidding will you have?

Well, in this case, it felt like that basically the Tigers took the game off the board after one round.

That's the feedback I've gotten from other teams, that there wasn't that circle.

Now, in fairness, the Tigers, and Scott Harris, their head of baseball operations, has been defending his actions in this thing.

In some cases, I think that

What the Tigers did is go to an organization and said, would you give up this prospect?

For example, when they talked to the Yankees, they said, can we talk about George Lombard Jr.?

The Yankees said no, and so the Tigers said, okay, we're going to move on someplace else, effectively.
