And I had to go into the Brewers locker room afterward in their clubhouse.

Happy Milwaukee people.

The reason I say that is because if these guys just play to the back of their baseball cards, according to last season,

With Alex Bregman being healthy enough to play, let's say, 150 instead of the 117 he played last year, that's a 30 home run season for him.

Yeah.

You can make the argument that this team will be the best since that World Series team because they just have more guys.

Remember, Seiya Suzuki has not stepped on the field, and we don't expect him to be on the field for another week or so.

Seiya's offense would have helped yesterday.

anybody's offense would have helped on a day where you get four hits total.

But I think overall, to look at this team and understand what the weakest points of this team are and to be encouraged by the weak points, if you will, and that's, to me, Matt Shaw and Moises Ballesteros so far, but I expect those guys to hit.

Your guy.

There's another piece of this contract that reminded me of the one Ian Happ signed when it came to the loyalty that the Cubs gave Ian Happ and just the vote of confidence.

And that was the no trade clause.

And that was also brought up.

And we understand that Jed Hoyer said that that was part of the reason this deal got done.

I thought that that was significant to bring up as well.

No, I was just going to say, if you think that he wasn't going to get a no trade clause, you don't know what you're talking about.

Because we were like, oh, you got a no trade clause?

I was like, yeah, because in free agency, that's what they're going against is what happens at the end of the season.

If you don't sign him to an extension, he's going to get the no trade clause.
