Yeah, Ken?

I felt like they were going to get one of those four big free agents that are out there.

I just thought it was going to be by process of elimination, they'd come in at the end and scoop, whether it was like Cody Bellinger.

I thought Bichette would go before Bregman, but we see how that played out.

I'm pleased for the Cubs and the city of Chicago in that you're giving yourself a legitimate chance pre-work stoppage to make a run at a World Series title.

They're not the favorites or anything.

The Dodgers do exist.

They are, of course, a dynasty to be reckoned with.

I'm just saying even getting to the World Series.

But to make a run at it, they can make a more legitimate run than what we saw now when you look at the depth of their pitching staff, the addition of Bregman, and also this idea.

As long as they don't trade Nico Horner.

This idea that they still have maybe a chance to even tweak and add a little bit more between now and, say, the trade deadline.

No, I think that's fair based on how he looked back end of the season facing lefties specifically.

Look, there's still a place for Matt Shaw.

I love the idea of him continuing to develop.

We know what a weird year he had last year, but I still think that he's going to end up being a good player.

It's perfect.

If he's just depth...

for your team if he's coming off the bench or as leila said like if he's just dh that's great great let him learn under alex bregman and then eventually maybe matt shaw can be your starter there too the other thing i don't underestimate too and then i value like i look at as real is the fact that this guy's a winner alex bregman has won and i know we all hate we're all skeptical of the houston astros and all that he's won two world series

Yeah.
