And so, like, that was a piece I thought would come around at the back end.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

But I still am skeptical, I guess, knowing that, you know, Carlos Estevez went on a rehab assignment and that there could be a bonus, too, if he can get his velo back up.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

But I think flood over the last โ€“ so since that April 24th date โ€“

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Their bullpen ERA is 142, which is second best in baseball.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

I think you're asking, like, if that game's tomorrow or just, like, ideally you get to a spot.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

So, I mean, I think eight and nine would be some form of earth second.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

But Avila is a guy I'm interested in, if he could potentially factor into that.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

And then, I mean, the trick question part of this, the trick part of this question is you could have a starter, too, I think, that could be part of that conversation if it's a playoff game.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

So that, like, I don't think Noah Cameron, like, slots super well into the bullpen, and he's obviously your five starter.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

But I think just availability, right?

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Yeah, so I talked to โ€“ I don't want to let you finish, but just to add some context because I was at the stadium yesterday and J.T.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Piccolo mentioned the fact that

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

If his velo's there, that he's been a closer his whole career.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

What you just said was the conclusion that I drew from.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

They're going to try and make him the closer again unless he's throwing like 91 miles an hour in his rehab.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Yeah, I mean, the interesting thing about a trade piece is that

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

It's the one position that everybody's looking for if you're in contention.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Like, everyone could use an extra arm.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

And if it's a closer, for some teams, they can use them in the eighth or seventh inning.

The Program
H3 Sam McDowell

Like, everybody sees value in that because of really since what the Royals did in 14 and 15 and proved that you can use those guys effectively.
