and the opposing manager is going to be like, I don't want to pitch to that guy because all he does is hit line drives.

So I think that Billy Bean, he became one of the first general managers to just have the attitude of, you know what, F it.

I just want to get

the best players in return, and if I happen to make a trade with a division rival, and I make that rival, and if I get the players I want, and at the same time, make that rival weaker by taking prospects from them, I'll do that.

And I'll be open-minded with that.

Teams are more and more willing to do that.

Now, there are some special cases...

Like when Mason Miller was rumored about a couple weeks ago, you knew there was no chance the Padres would trade him to the Dodgers.

Right.

You know, there's always a little prickly thing between the Orioles and the Yankees and the Yankees, the Red Sox, a little bit between the Yankees and the Mets.

But generally speaking, you're right.

Teams, you know, in the past didn't trade in the division.

Now they do.

You know, and one thing, look, it's so funny because the response to the trade, in terms of prospect value, people around the sport are like, oh, my God, the Red Sox overpaid, right?

They gave up all these prospects to get Adley Rutschman, and I get that.

And the Orioles can say, hey, we got better in the future.

But good Lord, at some point, can the future be now for the Orioles who tanked four seasons to be in this position?

I was getting text messages, I'm sure you were too, from friends who are Orioles fans, and they're heartbroken.

And yeah, you might have gotten a guy in Class A or Double A that looks really promising today.

But Adley Rutschman was brought up to be the leader of the next generation, and now he's gone.
