I think we'll have a better sense of that retrospectively when we look back at spring training and see what actually occurred during the off-season or maybe even opening day and looked at the off-season.
My sense is there is a very large swath of the industry that is very much trying to compete and believes it's in a competitive window, whether it's big market, small market, mid-market.
And so that may provoke a little bit more discussion on these need for need type trades rather than sort of your typical buy sell trades.
And those are fun.
Those need for need trades are kind of fun to execute.
They're fun to work through.
It's more of a puzzle.
And so I do think we've had more dialogue on that type of trade this off season than in the past.
And it could just be we're at a point in the industry
where we've got a lot of teams that are poised to go into next year competing.
Yeah, I think it is something we are exploring.
Those types of deals are also the most challenging to put together.
