I think he could still come to the Cubs.

They were not happy, huh?

Their lives are over if they trade Freddie Peralta.

I love the idea that the Mets spent all the money and have all the –

let me put my air quotes up here, talent, and yet they may be the ones that bail out quickest on this season.

Not only discuss it, but I encourage the Cubs to go out and make a move as soon as possible if they can afford it from a capital standpoint.

When I say capital, I'm talking about prospects.

You need starting pitching, Layla, but it's going to be so much more expensive now because teams can be like, we can wait.

I just go back to last year, Layla, honestly, when they probably could have traded Owen Casey to get Edward Cabrera or as part of a Sandy Alcantara trade, however you want to look at it.

And those are guys who obviously were under contract beyond this year, unlike Freddy Peralta, who's only on the hook for this year.

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder if they believe that they're doing too much too fast because they feel like they have in-house answers for now.

I mean, this goes back to the Lucas Giolito and some other guys that they could have taken a run at.

Let it play out.

There's like, let it play out.

We're in first place.

We'll see what happens.

Just want to remind people, the Brewers did just sweep the Yankees and here they come.

They were trade deadline losers.

I want to know that Jed Hoyer and company learned their lesson from a year ago because they admitted afterwards that the trade deadline wasn't what they thought it was going to be in terms of how hard it was to pry away other teams starting pitchers who could be bonafide helpers to a playoff push.

Toronto last year.
