Carter Hawkins, Cubs general manager, joining us here live from Gallagher Way here on Rahimi Harris and Grody.

You mentioned the draft is coming up, and

We've been all trying to figure out what are all these teams going to do as things kind of change.

NIL money is involved.

A lot of things are different now.

I am curious about the track record that you guys have, though.

Specifically, when you talk about post the fifth round, the draft spending changes and you guys have spent very little on pitchers.

Is that a strategic choice year over year, or is that something that you guys have just kind of been stuck with once you get to that point of the draft?

How do you guys see that as an organization?

Yeah, I mean, if you look at the cumulative amount of money we spend on pitchers, it's pretty average.

Now we haven't done as well with drafting pitchers as we have as drafting position players in the aggregate yet.

You know, there's still a lot of stories that have yet to be fully told.

But that's definitely a focus for ours is how can we be better at selecting not just position players but also pitchers and how can we be better at developing those players as well.

It's really a team effort.

If you don't select well and you develop well, it doesn't matter.

If you don't develop well and you select well, it doesn't matter.

You've got to have both of those things working together.

So that's been a big focus of ours and certainly an area that we have room to improve.

But in terms of a strategy, our strategy is really just try to get the most wins out of the draft and

Oftentimes, that ends up being a position player.
