I would call it interesting.
I would call them roughly a 79 to 83 win team, which is roughly where they are.
And how you get there matters less.
I want to highlight Nick Martinez, and I'll tell you why.
Go take a look at how much he's being paid.
And I believe that he's being paid $13 million by the Tampa Bay Rays.
And I would tell you, given my experience with the Rays' front office, when they choose to pay a pitcher $13 million...
I believe that they know something that I got wrong or my guys didn't see.
And that's not an investment that they throw away.
Like, hey, we need innings.
Let's sign him and give him $13 million.
They don't engage in that sort of behavior because they can't.
And so they had an expectation for him.
And he came in.
And I'm going to draw the comparison to the Marlins in a second.
But look what he's done as a $13 million pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays.
He is leading that staff and leading that team as we sit today to be the best team in the American League in a division that was supposed to be all about everybody but them.
It's amazing.
And it's important to think about that because what happens is that people get hired from that organization.
They go to other organizations.
