the nature of how the sport is covered, you know, that people feel like you can always go out and get replacements externally.

You know, the reality is that, you know, we've had discussions with, with teams about, you know, candidly, you know, guys are probably struggling, excuse me, struggling with their teams.

And, you know, there may be a buy low opportunity.

We've had some of those discussions, you know, but the reality is that to go out and get someone that's pitching well,

early in the season.

It's just not realistic.

Look around baseball.

For a team to sell a starting pitcher for prospects in this time of year is just unbelievably unusual.

For the most part, teams would wait to get a higher price if they know they're going to sell, but I think there's a lot of teams right now that just simply don't know.

Think back to

2023, like, we were going to be a seller until about July 20th.

We won 9 out of 10.

And so, you know, teams look at it that way.

And especially in the American League, where in the National League, it looks like it's going to take a fair number of wins to make the postseason.

There's so many good teams in the National League.

I think when you look at the American League, I mean, honestly, there's...

a low win total could very easily sneak into playoffs.

And so with that being the case, if you're five under, six under, eight under right now, you're certainly not feeling like you're out of the race by any means.

And I say that, and I should add, like,

we're five or six games into an NFL season.
