All the stuff with Bellinger.
This is my fair thing to talk about, Dakota.
This is the WFAN fan theory of if George Steinbrenner was still alive, if George was alive, Kyle Tucker would have been on the Yankees two months ago.
And there's a subset of New Yorkers that genuinely believe that.
Now, whether or not that's actually true, I don't know.
Because some of that Steinbrenner stuff, it was a little overblown.
And you also have to remember, like,
There's a long stretch where the Steinbrenner owns the Yankees, the 80s into the mid-90s, where they're terrible.
My dad's favorite player is Don Mattingly.
Don Mattingly didn't win anything.
Was the captain of the Yankees for 15 years, won nothing.
So...
The Steinbrenner way, you know, he fired Billy Martin five times and then kept reuniting with him.
So, you know, there was also downsides to that as well.
I don't know if the Yankees would have signed Tucker.
The Tucker market is the one I can't figure out.
I have no idea where he's going.
Feels like it's going to be a mystery team to me.
