Look at what's happened with Cole Reagan since.
He was injured part of last year.
He's out for the rest of this year after, what, is it nine starts?
Fewer than that, I think, even.
Yeah, and then going to miss half of next year probably.
Seth Lugo has not been the same pitcher since about this time last year for about 12 months.
Those two examples are evidence of the overwhelming, you know, examples of the overwhelming evidence that this is a frequent thing with pitchers, even the pitchers you think are your horses.
And so, like, keeping Michael Walker does not guarantee at all that this is the Michael Walker who's on your roster next year.
And, you know, if you wind up keeping Michael Walker, you could wind up in this exact same conversation that you just said at the onset, nobody's calling about Seth Lugo.
Michael Walker could have that sort of year next year where you say, well, no one's calling about Michael Walker a year from now.
And you and I just, just talked about the fact that I don't think that the roster is ready to be a playoff team in 2027.
And the Royals don't either.
I mean, like I said, at the onset of this, like JJ Pakola mentioned the fact that they think they have work to do with the rotation, the bullpen, but yeah,
Because of that, I mean, you could be looking at a similar season, maybe slightly improved, but a similar spot of probably needing to sell, and maybe Michael Walker is not as expensive a piece as he is right now.
I don't think he's ever going to be more expensive than he is right now as far as what his value is on the market.
There's also not a lot of starters on the market right now.
Yeah.
And I actually think even more so.
It's the fact that if you go for it in 27, how does that affect 28, for example?
I mean.
