I did get some pushback on that when I asked around, but, but certainly there was some people that are like, yeah, I think that's a fair way to look at it.

And, and I think that's, you know, you, you have a winning season.

You don't have a lame duck head of baseball operations.

Should that always impact the players on the field?

Maybe not, but they're aware of what's going on, and Jet's been around for a long time.

So it definitely has a feeling of we know what direction we're headed.

This is working.

We can make this a winning culture and get back to the top of the mountain.

Obviously, there's the big bad Dodgers to worry about, but this is one of the teams, a handful of teams that people look at and say they can contend with the Dodgers.

Yeah, I mean, I think for me, what I learned was this was, are they like the prime players, like the Dodgers or the Mets?

No, but they had more money.

They were able to act on their plan A strategy.

and really go after the free agents that they wanted, they're not going to go and get Dylan Cease for $210 million.

They weren't going to do that.

That would have thrown off their plan.

It would have been really tough to build the team.

They went into the offseason looking...

We need two free agents, or we need two pitchers, two starting pitchers.

We need to rebuild a bullpen, and we need a bat.

That's a lot to fill.
