Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

I think what I would have said, which is still true, is that we like the players that we got back.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But at the same time, we have to always be willing to make moves that maybe are uncomfortable, but give us a better chance of

of winning now and in the future.

So I think, yeah, I probably would have been surprised because I would have said, you know, we think that Kyle Harrison is a very good major league starter.

And we think that, you know, James Tibbs is an exciting prospect.

And we think that Jordan Hicks can, you know, pitch at the back end of a game out of the bullpen.

But at the same time, if you would have said, but, you know, if you believe that there were opportunities to improve your team, would you pursue them?

I would have said absolutely.

Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

No, at this point, you know, really nothing to share, but I anticipate being able to talk about that in the next day or two.

So I think, you know, I think there's a,

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

There's an improved balance in terms of right-handed, left-handed skew.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

I think that we've got some optionable depth that insulates us against injury or if players don't perform to the level that

we are anticipating.

But I'll also say that we're never, I don't think you're ever going to find someone who sits in this chair who says, you know, if there's an opportunity to get better, we're going to ignore it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

So we'll always be open-minded.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

We'll always be willing to listen.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

But at the same time, you know, we do feel good about the group that we've got coming into camp.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
Presser: Craig Breslow On Trade For Caleb Durbin

We'll continue to look.

And if there is that opportunity to improve that group, I think we will take advantage of it.
