But San Diego are in a really tough spot.

He just signed this long-term contract and the sporting director has come out and I respect the transparency, but he's like, hey, he's not in the plans this year.

So if you were... So Cruz Azul has been reported to be interested.

Last I checked with San Diego a week ago or so, there hadn't been any contact from Cruz Azul.

If you're another team that is considering Tricky Lozano, where would you start the bidding, guys?

Because I would say free transfer and we'll cover a million of his salary because we're saving you.

You look at it as a sunk cost.

If we don't take him, you probably have to buy him out or you just have to pay him no matter what.

So we'll give you a million dollars every year and that saves you money.

So I'm very curious to see where this ends up.

My pushback there, I generally agree, and mostly that's correct, but San Diego did just finish first in the West because they nailed their other DP signing on.

And whether or not...

if they don't finish first in the West, I don't want to see people taking like a victory lap.

Like, Oh no, they, they were frauds or they weren't that good because literally any like back-to-back years having 60 plus points, I believe before this year, like maybe one team had done it in like the last 10 or 15 years.

So it's not,

It's not easy to say at the top, like, I think that they were completely for real, but that doesn't mean that they're going to finish first in the West.

There's nothing that I heard that indicated that, even on the Columbus side.

And maybe somebody thought it, and I just haven't heard it.

Like, that's obviously very possible.

But just from my understanding, there was nothing.
