The offensive production of Kyle Tucker and just bringing in Alex Bregman doesn't do that.

They still need more from that right field position.

It doesn't have to be bringing Kyle Tucker back, although that would be fine.

That's still something that they have to do before they break camp.

Well, what if I told you that Matt Shaw's going to play some out there, and he's pressed to the bottom of the roster because they're not going to trade Nico Horner, and that's saying Suzuki's going to play a lot more right, and Mo Baller's going to play a lot of DH.

Matt Shaw is depth now.

He's not somebody you're counting on to be an everyday player.

That is a step forward to me as well.

It is a step forward, but if you're in World Series mode, don't stop now, boys.

And maybe they won't.

But another bat is something they could add along the way very, very easily.

So, like, they're going to be in go-fort mode, and that means every trade deadline.

I want to see them aggressive at every trade deadline.

I want to see them aggressive next offseason.

And you've announced the standard.

You've announced yourself as one of the big boys.

Yeah.

So if you're not going to spend like that at the very, very tippity top, you've at least got a guy now who's going to elevate you, and I want to see you elevate every piece of the roster moving forward.

By the way, Nico told us a couple weeks ago that he's on the whole Bears thing, and so are Jed and Alex Bregman.

Yeah, they really are.
