It's a good problem to have.

Oh, 100%.

Obviously, lefty-righty, you have Bush leading off or Nico leading off or you leading off.

It's a fun, like you said, very good problem to have.

And I was – I think Tom texted us, and that's the first I saw of it, and I was pumped.

Yeah.

I mean, it's the move I said I wanted all offseason.

And it was no knock on Matt Shaw, but it was one where if there was an open spot that kind of could be filled, it was at third base with Bregman.

And bringing him in, like you said, with the lineup depth and being able to switch the matchups around, I mean, I think he slots in perfectly to the two-hole, but he could also be three-hole, five-hole.

He's someone you can really put anywhere.

And we were talking a little bit ago about his numbers.

He strikes out at 12%.

And I think the two things, like,

There's reports that the Red Sox offered like five for 165 and then Bregman wanting a full no trade in his contract.

It's like that proves to me that like he wanted to be in Chicago.

Like that's who he wanted to go to all along.

I know the Cubs were talking to him last year before he signed with the Red Sox.

And it's just cool to be like you get the guy, your team gets the deal done for a guy that wants to be there and a guy that like your team can really use.

And like we said, makes your lineup disgusting.

Not a lot of downside to that move.
