Like, there's not a Bellinger-like guy out there, another Tucker guy or Bichette guy.

But Bichette could have been a fallback, but the Mets dumped on it.

And here's the thing.

I think the Mets are going to be in on Bellinger, too.

And so I think the Jays, I'd like to see them pursue Bellinger and see if they can't make a deal there.

He's an outstanding defender in center field.

He can play left field.

He's done a lot of left field as well.

He can play first base and protect you as a left-handed bat there.

And he's got pop.

He can steal a base.

And so he'd fit.

And it would cut into some at-bats for Barger, and I'd rather not do it.

But the idea of getting him and keeping him away from the Yankees for a year, it would be fantastic.

Really good.

And so, you know, I personally think the biggest whiff that the Jays have made this offseason is not getting a closer.

I think that they're a World Series-caliber team in every aspect except the ninth inning.

And I love – listen, Jeff Hoffman's a really good guy, and I think he could be an effective pitcher.

I just want him in the seventh inning or eighth inning.

I don't want him in the ninth.
