And so we'll we'll be we'll be creative.

We'll be open minded about the best way to do that.

It's never comfortable to trade starting pitching just because I think we've all seen how quickly depth can become depleted.

But I also think it would be foolish to ignore that we have built up some depth over the last year or so.

And there are guys who have contributed toward the end of the season.

Harrison, totally early.

Obviously, guys that come to mind.

Dobbins a little bit earlier before the injury.

And I think there's another group that's coming, you know, Perales and some of the guys that we drafted recently.

But nobody will sit in this chair and say they have enough starting pitching.

You know, our job is to continue to develop that and, you know, to try and

create this internal pipeline and understand who are the guys that we need to be cornerstones of this team and who potentially are pitchers that we could use in trades to address other needs on the roster.

Sure.

I don't think there's a need.

I've used this line before, but I'm not sure that having too many good players is actually a problem.

Those things tend to take care of themselves.

You know, we talked about the outfield surplus that we had right up until Roman and Willie were both on the IL, you know, and all of a sudden we were kind of piecing together and mixing and matching lineups.

So, you know, I think the flexibility to rotate guys through the three outfield spots to potentially use the DH spot to keep guys fresh, I think that's an advantage for us, you know, to have four outfielders that have the talent and ability to play every day.

Now, I also would say that if there are opportunities to leverage areas of depth and maybe outfield is one, maybe some of the starting pitching that we just talked about is another to address other areas of need on the roster, then we'll have to consider doing that.

Sure.
