And then Vlad was, I think, $500 million.

Yeah, so that's got to be right over there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

Yeah, it's crazy.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

Yep.

So six, we got the Phillies.

We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

The tricky part I always run into the Phillies is they're always good in the regular season.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

I think the part that their fans and I think just overall baseball fans, or maybe just me, have noticed is it's just like –

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

For whatever reason, they just haven't built it up enough to beat the Dodgers, and maybe that's just kind of just circumstance and when you run into them.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

But it feels like every time they're always like, ah, let's get some fresh blood in here, and then they go into the offseason.

I think the main adjustments they made, at least offensively, was switching out Kepler, who somehow was on steroids despite having a terrible freaking season.

And then Nick Castellanos, who obviously that ended crazy with the article and everything, and then now he's on the Padres.

And they brought in Adolis Garcia and Justin Crawford, I imagine, will take their spots in the lineup this year.

So you got Adolis Garcia, who you're banking on a bounce back and what he was when they won the World Series.

Obviously, Justin Crawford, I don't think he's much of a power guy, but he'll definitely put the ball in play, or at least that's what he's done in the minors.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

So...

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

You got that on the offense, but you bring back Schwarber, you bring back Real Muntos, you mainly keep it the same from your main core guys.

And then bullpen-wise, the main adjustment they really made there was swapping out Strom, bringing in Brad Keller.

Baseball Isn’t Boring

And then from the rotation, they bring in Andrew Painter.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
We Are Ranking The 10 Best Teams In Baseball

So they've extended pretty much everybody in the rotation.

Dave Dabrowski was like, I know we have Christopher Sanchez under contract, but we're going to give him another extension.
