But think about where we were a year ago, where those conversations were starting to bubble up of.

Could the Cubs extend Pete Crow Armstrong?

And remember last year, I'm like, you don't really have to.

And at that point, Pete hadn't proved anything yet, right?

And then we see the second half where the numbers dropped off dramatically.

And then going into this year,

The Cubs, big expectations, but you expect Pete and they expect Pete to be a big part of it.

And you're like, you know what?

If we're going all in or the Cubs version of all in and you make the moves they made and bring Bregman in and you look at their roster after the 2026 season where they have money freed up and you're like, okay.
