And the way to think about it is the, your farm system is money in the bank and it allows you to either, you know, spend it on your own house, submit it on other things, buy whatever it is that you need.
Like that's why you have a farm system.
And that's,
The Blue Jays did not have that in the way that they needed to over the past few years, and that limited them.
Now the farm system is better, and so they have more options.
But the fact that the pipeline is also a little bit stronger, it also gives them a bit more freedom to spend from it too because you don't want to choke off your pipeline because that is a big reason why.
The Blue Jays scrambled for pitching in 23 and 24 and had the collapse that they did in 24 because they weren't able to backfill.
And you look at this year,
you know, the Blue Jays' plan A has not worked this year, right?
Like, they are plan B, C, D that's gotten them to this point, and that's because they've had contributions from the farm system.
And so...
off wasn't plan A?
Right, right.
I mean, if you just think about where the money that they've spent, it was on Santander and Andres Jimenez, and Hoffman's obviously been a big part of the bullpen, but those were two prime guys who were supposed to
really impact the position player court didn't happen.
But so long-winded way to get to, yes, the pitching development has been very important.
They're producing more pitchers.
They're doing more with the pitchers that they have.
And if you kind of looked at the Baseball America mid-season update of their top 30, 16 of the 30 prospects on that list were pitchers.
And one thing that you see every year at trade deadline time, pitching is good currency.
