Yes, it does.

And that at the end of the day is what all of this needs to be about.

Love.

Everyone is going to be extraordinarily rich.

This is a game that's bringing in $12, $13, $14 billion a year.

and they need to figure out how to equitably and fairly split that up so all the parties involved not only get enriched, but do what they're supposed to do, which is put on games that we all love.

Right.

Where to?

I don't know at this point, but let's put it this way.

The Detroit Tigers have been the most disappointing team in baseball this year.

It all coincided when Tarek Skubal got hurt.

The reality is they have dug themselves an enormous hole.

And if Tarek Skubal comes back healthy and looks like anything like he normally does, which is the best pitcher in baseball, he will be the headline of the August 3rd trade deadline.

And we will be talking plenty more about him.

Honestly, it could be any of the above.

Can you imagine Scoogle and Skeens in the same rotation?

Pleasure is mine, Jack.

I'm assuming that you, like Soren, want to just trade everyone right now?

Well, I suppose on one hand that all of us who were bullish on the Royals were right that they can compete with the Tigers.

I mean, the Tigers also happen to have the worst record in Major League Baseball right now, and the Royals are only a half game up on them.
