Heck, is it a team in the American League?

I don't think Tampa's in the business of dealing that kind of echelon to be able to get a rental, and that would be way out of their comfort zone.

But these are kind of crazy times with the unknown.

It's a different trade deadline this year, guys, not knowing we will have a salary cap, we won't have a salary cap, a floor, all those things.

It just changes what that prospect capital and that market price looks like for a guy of Tarek Skubal's capability and what he can do for you in October.

Boy, isn't he the shiny Lamborghini when he's right, man?

It is still the smoothest top-end, high 90s, low 100 that you can get.

It's a borderline for me.

I don't know if it's there.

When he's right, and that's why it's the caveat, when he's right, I don't know if there's a smoother kind of free and easy and big swing and miss capability than what he does.

So if he were averaging 25 starts a year for the last eight years, then yeah, I could get there.

I don't know, man.

For right now, if I had to vote, it would be a no without diving super deep in comparative analysis.

But the injury issues are certainly going to be a strike against him.

Right.

And, again, I think it is a great, great point that let's consider year seven, eight, nine of eligibility, and it's a quote-unquote watered-down ballot.

Yep.

You could definitely see a little campaigning of like, oh, we remember when Jacob DeGrom was, you know, just utterly dominant, sub one for half the year.

Oh, I remember those years.

We haven't seen a guy like that in a long time.
