I do love this deal.

I love the deal ownership going all in.

I just have a little bit of trepidation that I have to talk about.

That's a fair point.

It's not completely equal because you don't know what Bichette would have accepted.

I'd rather have Bregman at five for 175.

It's a fair point.

It's close, though.

Yeah.

I remember last year, you guys had basically two starters down in April.

Pretty quickly, Colin Ray went from bullpen arm to in the rotation.

The closer?

If you're a good player on the Marlins, you should assume at some point in the next two years you're going to end up on the trade market.

Kyle Stowers, your clock is ticking.

I don't look at any Marlins fans right now.

I think in any other organization, not any other organization, but I think in a lot of organizations last year, maybe let's say 20 of 30, he gets a lot of Major League at-bats last year.

He was clearly a guy that was ready for Major League at-bats.

Unfortunately, with the way the Cubs outfield was last year, there wasn't a lot of at-bats to give him.

I agree with you, Dakota.

I watched a lot of Iowa last year, and he was the number one guy that I was like, I think in terms of prospects, he was the one I would want to keep the most.
