I do still think the cautionary tale is everyone knew when you got this group together that then you needed to surround it by this is when you go out and spend and this is when you bring in those pieces.

And since 2023, the Orioles acquired one year of Corbin Burns.

And now Pete Alonzo, and I think when we look back at what went wrong, I think they've relied too much on it all being carried by this group.

And look, I think everyone's disappointed by the way that Gunnar Henderson has performed this season.

I think that you should expect more.

But they have asked for this group to go from, hey, this is a nice core, to you've got to be the superstars with very little outside help.

And I think that they have let this rebuild process, or whatever you want to call the other end of the rebuild process, I think they've failed to capitalize on it after getting that talent.

They're not out of time yet.

The American League, as you guys know in Kansas City, is not very good.

Everybody's within a couple of games of a playoff spot, but this is kind of a watershed moment for this franchise right now to make sure they stay afloat moving towards July.

Tyler O'Neal.

I mean, yeah, it's a bunch of kind of like marginal moves that they've made.

They didn't do the things they needed to do to truly go all in to surround that young talent.

Yeah, it's set up pretty well for them, other than obviously they've got to make the trip to Brazil, and that's a little bit tough because they don't have a buffer on either, and they're playing regular Sunday games on both sides of that, so that'll hurt, but

I really do think that it sets up quite fairly for the Ravens.

Otherwise, they're back-loaded with a bunch of division games.

But if Lamar Jackson is healthy, and I get that that's something that we say is an if, then this is a division that they should be at the front of.

The Steelers are limited to what they can do with Aaron Rodgers, their quarterback.

The Bengals still don't have a defense or an offensive line.

If Joe Burrow's healthy, which is a far bigger if than if Lamar Jackson is healthy in his career, then obviously they're going to be competitive.
