I don't think that a small market team, even if they're in the position of making the playoffs, would make that kind of move.
But I heard from the beginning of the year, wouldn't it be unbelievable, and I think this ship may have passed, but what would be the prospects of Pittsburgh getting Schuble with Skeens
and being relevant in the postseason.
Try to get through those two monsters in the postseason.
All of a sudden, you've got a team that's marginal to all of a sudden, they are very dangerous.
Again, I don't think that's going to happen, but if I was a Pittsburgh Pirate fan, I would be like, man, let's put all our chips in to do that and try to make something happen.
But I think for the most part, it's going to be somebody who has the ability, I think, unless they're just willing to give up a bunch of prospects for a two-month player,
which is tough to do, I think the big market teams actually have the best play.
Yes, but it's warped and it's insane.
The reason I say that is it's the reward system that players are chasing.
It's because what clubs want is not sustainable.
It's just not.
Nobody has survived it.
We might have one freak, one Nolan Ryan in a generation.
I always use this example.
Nolan Ryan was a freak, right?
You can't even come close to saying there were five other Nolan Ryans while Nolan Ryan pitched.
We have 25 Nolan Ryans now.
That's not genetically possible.
That's a manufactured against the odds.
