Latest / Bucco Territory: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast / All Quiet in Orlando
Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another episode of Bucco Territory,
- 0:12Speaker 1: presented to you by the Foul Territory Network. I'm your host,
- 0:15Speaker 1: Noah Hiles, and joining me as always are my wonderful
- 0:18Speaker 1: co host Josh Harrison aka j Hay and Platinum Key
- 0:22Speaker 1: aka Mark Fellas. We're recording this on Thursday morning, December eleventh.
- 0:27Speaker 1: The Winter Meetings are officially over, and you know, I'll
- 0:31Speaker 1: let you guys decide. Was it a dud of a
- 0:34Speaker 1: Winter Meetings for the Pittsburgh Pirates. I certainly think so.
- 0:38Speaker 1: I think there was a lot more that kind of
- 0:40Speaker 1: went against them than for them. But we'll open the
- 0:44Speaker 1: discussion there. I want to start with Mark because I
- 0:47Speaker 1: feel like we might have an opposing stance on this.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I walked away from the Winter Meetings
- 0:53Speaker 2: pretty encouraged the Schwerber offer, even though it wasn't enough
- 0:59Speaker 2: to have the mo A a V on an offer
- 1:01Speaker 2: to really be competitive for a free agent of that caliber.
- 1:05Speaker 2: That's that's encouraging. Like Josh said, that's money on the
- 1:08Speaker 2: table that we know is available to be spent this offseason,
- 1:12Speaker 2: and so seeing that how they're going to repurpose that. Uh,
- 1:15Speaker 2: that's that's exciting. And as far as concrete signings, there
- 1:20Speaker 2: were only about like four bats that really went off
- 1:23Speaker 2: the table Alonzo Schwarber, Yastremsky, like Cedric Mullins. So it
- 1:29Speaker 2: was pretty quiet across the league. So if if there
- 1:32Speaker 2: was more activity then and the Pirates didn't do anything,
- 1:35Speaker 2: I would be a little bit more disappointed. But the
- 1:38Speaker 2: fact that it was across the league, uh, not too
- 1:41Speaker 2: much has happened. There's still plenty of opportunity for the
- 1:44Speaker 2: Pirates to improve, So I'm overall encouraged.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Josh, what do you think.
- 1:51Speaker 3: I'll actually piggyback what Mark said as I sit here
- 1:54Speaker 3: and analyze what's happened over you know, the winter meetings,
- 1:58Speaker 3: I said, not a lot of action with position players
- 2:01Speaker 3: and whatnot. But I think looking back on it and
- 2:05Speaker 3: seeing that they actually did go for Schwarber, and actually,
- 2:08Speaker 3: you know, in a case that you would say, we
- 2:12Speaker 3: know that they would have to overpay to land a
- 2:13Speaker 3: guy like that, it was gonna be tough to pry
- 2:16Speaker 3: him away from Philly. But to see that they actually went,
- 2:19Speaker 3: you know, above and beyond what you know anybody was
- 2:22Speaker 3: ever used to, I think that might also you know,
- 2:26Speaker 3: raise an eyebrow say okay, they did try it. But
- 2:28Speaker 3: at the same time, you know, just because you missed
- 2:31Speaker 3: out there, that means you got to pivot somewhere else
- 2:33Speaker 3: and make something makes sense, you know, to continue to
- 2:36Speaker 3: better this team. And you know, the signing of Sodo,
- 2:40Speaker 3: that's a good arm. I played with Soda. That's a
- 2:42Speaker 3: nasty book and arm. So while they weren't able to
- 2:45Speaker 3: land you know, Schwarber, which you know that was gonna
- 2:48Speaker 3: be tough anyway, they were able to sign a guy
- 2:51Speaker 3: like Soto, which so it's not like they left empty handed.
- 2:53Speaker 3: And uh, you said, repurpose that money that you offer
- 2:55Speaker 3: Schwarber and see what you can land.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Yeah, I can see why there could be optimism as
- 3:01Speaker 1: to seeing that money being available and saying, okay, well, yeah,
- 3:05Speaker 1: they can spend that elsewhere, and fans should certainly hope
- 3:09Speaker 1: they do. My reason why I guess I'm not as
- 3:13Speaker 1: bullish on the Winter Meetings activity is when you look
- 3:17Speaker 1: at the week as a whole, I just feel like
- 3:19Speaker 1: there were a lot more ls than w's here. They
- 3:23Speaker 1: lost Jeremy Blische to another front office. He was a
- 3:26Speaker 1: key member of their pitching group. When you look at
- 3:29Speaker 1: how they've already lost Spencer Horowitz, or not Spencer Horrist,
- 3:32Speaker 1: Justin Horowitz, I should say to the Washington Nationals two
- 3:36Speaker 1: guys who have been now poached to become assistant gms
- 3:38Speaker 1: and other front offices. Those are two of their best
- 3:41Speaker 1: minds in the front offices. So your baseball operation staff
- 3:44Speaker 1: got a little weaker this week. You had an opportunity.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You're the third best odds to get the number one
- 3:50Speaker 1: overall pick in this year's draft. Instead you ended up
- 3:52Speaker 1: getting the number five pick, so that didn't go your way.
- 3:55Speaker 2: And you were the lottery ineligible now for next year too, yes.
- 3:59Speaker 1: And reineligible for twenty twenty six's draft or twenty twenty
- 4:03Speaker 1: sevens draft, so that didn't go your way. You missed
- 4:07Speaker 1: out on Shoreber, which everyone kind of thought, yeah, they
- 4:10Speaker 1: weren't actually going to get him, but you offered him
- 4:14Speaker 1: a higher aav than anyone else and you still didn't
- 4:16Speaker 1: get him. And you didn't really get anyone else. And
- 4:21Speaker 1: while yes, I think there is a strong possibility that
- 4:25Speaker 1: they land at least one name of note as far
- 4:29Speaker 1: as a hitter is concerned, but this would have been
- 4:32Speaker 1: a really good week to do it. This would have
- 4:33Speaker 1: been a really good week to do it. All the
- 4:36Speaker 1: attention was on your franchise and on your organization this week,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and everyone was kind of waiting for you to show
- 4:43Speaker 1: up and do something, and you didn't really do much,
- 4:45Speaker 1: And I think that that is not helping matters. I
- 4:48Speaker 1: think it just puts more pressure on the franchise moving
- 4:52Speaker 1: forward for the rest of this winter. Like I've said
- 4:54Speaker 1: in prior episodes, there's that ticking clock until Pirate Fest
- 4:59Speaker 1: and they be have some moves done by January thirtieth,
- 5:04Speaker 1: and we're a month and a half away from that,
- 5:07Speaker 1: so times ticking, and I'm sure they know that, but
- 5:12Speaker 1: that's kind of how I view it all. So let's
- 5:14Speaker 1: talk a little bit a little bit more about the
- 5:17Speaker 1: hitter market real quick. Like, like Mark pointed out, there's
- 5:21Speaker 1: still a lot to pick from here. I didn't never
- 5:24Speaker 1: really get a sense that they were that involved in
- 5:27Speaker 1: Pete Alonzo and Kyle Schwarber is the Kyle Schwarber thing,
- 5:33Speaker 1: and just Pittsburgh skepticism is gonna be now every time
- 5:37Speaker 1: a player signs elsewhere, they're gonna be like, oh, I
- 5:39Speaker 1: wonder if the Pirates tried with this one, And again
- 5:43Speaker 1: they deserve that criticism because there have been there has
- 5:47Speaker 1: been a lot of noise about how hard they're willing
- 5:50Speaker 1: to try to get these guys. But my point, and
- 5:53Speaker 1: I guess that's why I am a little bit more
- 5:56Speaker 1: pessimistic on the Winter meetings, is you've helped generate that noise,
- 6:01Speaker 1: and so the longer you go without following through, the
- 6:06Speaker 1: more build up there is the frustration and mark you do,
- 6:09Speaker 1: you feel like day will sense that building up pressure.
- 6:14Speaker 2: I mean, you have to, because there was so much
- 6:17Speaker 2: talk all Winter meetings. You know, the Pirates are the
- 6:19Speaker 2: big movers this meetings. They're really talking to everyone. They're
- 6:22Speaker 2: in on all these free agents, they're in on trades,
- 6:24Speaker 2: they're gonna do something, and then nothing, I mean besides Sodo.
- 6:29Speaker 2: And that's a little frustrating when you're coming off an
- 6:33Speaker 2: off season where you made the Spencer Horwitz trade and
- 6:36Speaker 2: then nothing again, and so it kind of felt like
- 6:39Speaker 2: that you made the Justinson Garcia deal and signed the
- 6:44Speaker 2: lefty picture, nothing's changed from last offseason yet, and so
- 6:49Speaker 2: I feel like that apprehension from all these just pitiful
- 6:53Speaker 2: off seasons the last few years is starting to bleed
- 6:56Speaker 2: over and you're gonna get a little worried as a fan, say,
- 6:59Speaker 2: are we actually going to do something? This is feeling
- 7:02Speaker 2: pretty similar to what we've always done. Where's the where's
- 7:06Speaker 2: the new move this year? And so it would have
- 7:07Speaker 2: been nice to have that walking out of the winter meetings.
- 7:11Speaker 2: But I mean it still can happen. I'm still optimistic
- 7:14Speaker 2: that this is a different offseason.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I just wanted to add something to that to what
- 7:21Speaker 3: both of y'all said.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Definitely, Noah, you.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Spoke on they pretty much have themselves to blame, and
- 7:29Speaker 3: Mark I don't want I don't want to correct you
- 7:31Speaker 3: when you say the past few years, because honestly, it's
- 7:35Speaker 3: been more than the past few years. So when you
- 7:38Speaker 3: look at what they offer Swarber and what they want
- 7:41Speaker 3: to do with these free agentsy yes, it is nice
- 7:43Speaker 3: to see that they offered them even above you know,
- 7:46Speaker 3: what market value was, But as you said, they've you know,
- 7:49Speaker 3: put this on themselves for repeated, you know, years of
- 7:52Speaker 3: not doing anything. So it doesn't make people, Oh, you
- 7:55Speaker 3: might be offering the most money, but you know what,
- 7:58Speaker 3: you're still not necessarily to win. So if there's anybody
- 8:02Speaker 3: to blame, as you said, look in the mirror.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Well, and that's I was thinking about this last night too,
- 8:07Speaker 1: where if they do strike out on all these guys,
- 8:10Speaker 1: which there's a chance that happens, you know, sometimes they're
- 8:14Speaker 1: if there are like six players of a certain caliber
- 8:17Speaker 1: that are available, and three of them go into free
- 8:21Speaker 1: agency just absolutely predetermined I'm not playing in Pittsburgh and
- 8:25Speaker 1: the other three just get a better opportunity elsewhere. They're
- 8:30Speaker 1: gonna sit here and say, oh, well, we tried our best,
- 8:33Speaker 1: and that might actually be true, right, they might have
- 8:36Speaker 1: actually given an honest effort, And I guess the rebuttal
- 8:38Speaker 1: would be, well, yeah, if you tried this hard and
- 8:42Speaker 1: the last five six offseasons, you probably wouldn't be in
- 8:46Speaker 1: a position where it's boom or bust. You waited for
- 8:49Speaker 1: the last day until prom to ask someone to prom
- 8:53Speaker 1: and most people have dates and some people have already
- 8:55Speaker 1: decided they don't want to go with you. Yeah, so
- 8:59Speaker 1: that's that's kind of situation you put yourself in when Okay,
- 9:02Speaker 1: now you're doing this, but why has it taken so
- 9:05Speaker 1: long for you to behave in such a manner? You know,
- 9:08Speaker 1: like the quote unquote rebuild is in year seven now,
- 9:12Speaker 1: so like these are moves that probably should have been
- 9:17Speaker 1: attempted years ago. So that's why there is such a
- 9:21Speaker 1: lack of patience. Like what Josh mentioned is fans have
- 9:25Speaker 1: been waiting, probably even prior to this last regime for
- 9:29Speaker 1: this type of move to be made, and they don't
- 9:32Speaker 1: care about how close you are and how you're actually trying.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Now it's like, okay, well these people. You're telling these
- 9:37Speaker 1: people how hard you're trying, and these people have been
- 9:39Speaker 1: waiting for you to try for fifteen years.
- 9:42Speaker 2: Yeah, So crippling your biggest free agent offer and it's
- 9:45Speaker 2: still not enough, that's yeah, it's tough.
- 9:49Speaker 1: It's telling, right. But on a positive note here, the
- 9:54Speaker 1: one signing they did get done was Gregory Soto. Josh,
- 9:57Speaker 1: you said you played with him. Give us a scouting
- 9:59Speaker 1: report on the new lefty and the Pirates bullpen.
- 10:02Speaker 4: I played it.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Played with him on two separate occasions in Detroit twenty
- 10:06Speaker 3: eighteen and then recently twenty twenty three with the Phillies.
- 10:11Speaker 4: Nasty arm from the left side.
- 10:15Speaker 3: And obviously not the same guy that he was in
- 10:17Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, has turned into like one of the better
- 10:21Speaker 3: back back into the bullpen arms you know in the league,
- 10:24Speaker 3: especially from the left side, and I think he's gonna
- 10:27Speaker 3: be a good compliment to that bullpen. You need somebody
- 10:31Speaker 3: that's not only been around, but somebody that's had success.
- 10:35Speaker 3: And I want to say he's been a two time
- 10:36Speaker 3: All Star and it's like a left handed arm that's
- 10:40Speaker 3: ninety eight and above with some sink, nice little sharp slider.
- 10:44Speaker 3: And one thing that I know that he's gotten a
- 10:47Speaker 3: lot better at, just from when I played with him
- 10:49Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen is his control.
- 10:51Speaker 4: That was one of his major things.
- 10:53Speaker 3: But once he got around and knowing that he could
- 10:55Speaker 3: just let his fastball his sinker kind of play, that's
- 10:58Speaker 3: when you saw him have a lot of success.
- 11:00Speaker 4: So I think it's a good signing for the Pirates.
- 11:01Speaker 4: That's gonna help with that bull fan.
- 11:04Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it seems like these are the type
- 11:05Speaker 1: of guys too that the Pirates have got the most
- 11:09Speaker 1: out of right but these these left I mean lefties
- 11:12Speaker 1: seem to place well in panc Park and they find
- 11:16Speaker 1: these guys. This current regime has found a lot of
- 11:18Speaker 1: guys who have nasty stuff and they hone it in
- 11:22Speaker 1: and get the most out of it. So I think
- 11:23Speaker 1: this is a this is a good investment. I don't
- 11:26Speaker 1: expect him to be an All Star in Pittsburgh, but
- 11:28Speaker 1: I also don't expect him to be a liability. I
- 11:31Speaker 1: think they got a solid eighth inning guy they got there.
- 11:34Speaker 1: They have their top right handed leverage guy already with
- 11:38Speaker 1: Dennis Santana. Now they have their top left handed leverage
- 11:42Speaker 1: arm as well. Mark you your thoughts on the Soto edition.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. There was only one left in
- 11:49Speaker 2: the bullpen. I think it's Sisk and so you needed
- 11:52Speaker 2: depth at that position. And I feel like, so there
- 11:55Speaker 2: is a guy that the Pirates can put into their
- 11:58Speaker 2: system and really improve. The sinker that he throws about
- 12:02Speaker 2: like fifty nine percent of the time just hasn't been
- 12:06Speaker 2: as effective. I think he had guys like hitting like
- 12:10Speaker 2: three fourteen against it last year, but his his slider
- 12:14Speaker 2: is absolutely nasty. That's just put away pitch. So yeah,
- 12:19Speaker 2: I mean there's a lot of things that the Pirates'
- 12:21Speaker 2: pitching staff can take and retool with him and make
- 12:24Speaker 2: him even better. It's a position in need. I'm glad
- 12:28Speaker 2: we got that done early.
- 12:29Speaker 1: So all right, fellas looking ahead, a couple of weeks
- 12:34Speaker 1: remain or three weeks I should say, remain until the
- 12:37Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty five. Do the Pirates get a
- 12:41Speaker 1: deal done between now and the new year? And if so,
- 12:47Speaker 1: who are they signing?
- 12:50Speaker 2: All Right, I'll jump. I think the Ryan O'Hearn makes
- 12:55Speaker 2: a ton of sense, especially now that we've seen the
- 13:01Speaker 2: Schwarber signing. Uh, Michael Schremsky's gone, Cedric Mullins is gone.
- 13:06Speaker 2: So I feel like a hearn fits a lot of
- 13:09Speaker 2: what the need is, and we've mentioned him. He's a
- 13:12Speaker 2: guy the Pirates can afford. So I think that makes
- 13:16Speaker 2: a lot of sense just to get that done early.
- 13:19Speaker 2: But I don't know what the timeline looks like, so
- 13:22Speaker 2: we'll see when that happens.
- 13:25Speaker 3: But I mean, I agree pressure they definitely feel it
- 13:32Speaker 3: to say three weeks from now something. I said something
- 13:35Speaker 3: was gonna happen to Winter meetings and it didn't, so
- 13:38Speaker 3: I don't want to say something will. But I say,
- 13:42Speaker 3: let's let's give the fans, give the people what they
- 13:45Speaker 3: want sometime around Christmas or going into the New year.
- 13:47Speaker 3: And uh, I'm gonna go since they missed out on
- 13:50Speaker 3: Schwarber and trying to pivot and find different, you know,
- 13:53Speaker 3: ways to fill that void, I'm gonna go with the
- 13:56Speaker 3: want Mona more.
- 13:58Speaker 4: How do you say?
- 13:59Speaker 5: You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know if I threw
- 14:05Speaker 5: them out there, one of y'all be able to help me.
- 14:07Speaker 5: So I'm gonna go a little dark horse right there
- 14:10Speaker 5: and pull that one out of you know, left field
- 14:13Speaker 5: per se to say I love it.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes so much time. I think they could
- 14:19Speaker 1: very well sign one of those guys. I think those
- 14:22Speaker 1: guys have a higher likelihood of signing in the new year.
- 14:26Speaker 1: I just think they're on a different calendar.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Actually, with the posting system, they have to sign by
- 14:33Speaker 2: a certain date, So I think Murk Homie is like
- 14:37Speaker 2: December twenty third or something. Okay, I think it might
- 14:42Speaker 2: be like January third or something around there, because there's
- 14:46Speaker 2: only like a specific time after they're posted.
- 14:48Speaker 1: So well, in that case, then I'm gonna say Okamoto
- 14:52Speaker 1: because it still fits my narrative.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:54Speaker 1: And then, but in all seriousness, I think I think
- 15:00Speaker 1: they do get a signing done. I'm going to say,
- 15:02Speaker 1: Jorgey Polonko on Christmas.
- 15:03Speaker 4: Eve, Oh you went to the date?
- 15:07Speaker 1: Yes. I just think like, as a writer, like what
- 15:10Speaker 1: would be the more inconvenient days everything, and have to
- 15:14Speaker 1: write about it and react to it because I think
- 15:17Speaker 1: didn't they trade Josh Bell around Christmas time? I know
- 15:22Speaker 1: you Yeah, I know you weren't.
- 15:24Speaker 4: That's why I was with the Nationals. No, I was
- 15:27Speaker 4: with the Nationals.
- 15:29Speaker 3: That's because he texted me like, so I think it
- 15:32Speaker 3: was Christmas Eve. Now that you mentioned it, it's so fun. Dang,
- 15:37Speaker 3: that must have given you PTSD.
- 15:39Speaker 1: No oh, I mean, that's just what happens. I mean,
- 15:42Speaker 1: like in every team that I've covered, there's always like
- 15:46Speaker 1: stuff that happens on a holiday. Like even like pitt
- 15:49Speaker 1: had a four star kid commit one time on Christmas
- 15:52Speaker 1: Day and we're just like, what can't you just open
- 15:54Speaker 1: your presence? You're sixteen, you know, like why are you
- 15:57Speaker 1: doing this today? But yeah, so I'm gonna say, I mean,
- 16:02Speaker 1: now I don't have to write about it, so this
- 16:04Speaker 1: is great. So yeah, I'll say. You know what I'm
- 16:05Speaker 1: gonna say Christmas Day seven am, Christmas Mornings or a
- 16:12Speaker 1: Pittsburgh media members day.
- 16:14Speaker 6: That will that will be my prediction on I saw
- 16:19Speaker 6: is that he really wants to win, and so he's
- 16:23Speaker 6: apprehensive about the Pirates specifically because of that He's always.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Won in his career and wants to play for a
- 16:29Speaker 2: winner and continue to do that, which I love. I
- 16:33Speaker 2: love that mindset, but I don't know, Josh, what are
- 16:36Speaker 2: your thoughts on that. Do you think that could be overcome?
- 16:40Speaker 3: Well, I don't think he's wrong in saying what he
- 16:42Speaker 3: wants to say, because I mean, when you've had a
- 16:45Speaker 3: taste of the postseason as much as he has, you know,
- 16:49Speaker 3: money doesn't necessarily mean you know, I can make a
- 16:52Speaker 3: little bit less and make sure I'm gonna go to
- 16:54Speaker 3: the playoffs. But at the same time, it could be
- 16:56Speaker 3: a factor to say, Okay, come up a little bit more.
- 16:59Speaker 3: But at the same time, it puts Pittsburgh in a
- 17:01Speaker 3: situation say, Okay, if we want to sign these guys,
- 17:05Speaker 3: we have to make this place look, you.
- 17:07Speaker 4: Know, like a place people want to come. Yeah.
- 17:10Speaker 3: And so what you're finding out right now is guys like, Okay,
- 17:13Speaker 3: they're offering money, but what has changed. So hopefully that
- 17:17Speaker 3: trend starts to change, and I think you can overcome
- 17:19Speaker 3: that by putting some winning baseball together.
- 17:22Speaker 1: I totally think that that report was his camp saying,
- 17:27Speaker 1: all right, the Pirates are our highest bidder. Yeah, they're
- 17:30Speaker 1: clearly the most interested. Let's see how much money we
- 17:33Speaker 1: can really get out of them. Because if it's close
- 17:35Speaker 1: at all, he'll go somewhere else. But he's like, if
- 17:38Speaker 1: you guys really overpay, I'll play for you, but I
- 17:41Speaker 1: am going to make it seem like I don't want
- 17:43Speaker 1: to play for you. That way, you have to keep
- 17:45Speaker 1: increasing your offer to a point where it's something I
- 17:48Speaker 1: can't refuse. I just think that's a total leverage tactic.
- 17:51Speaker 1: I do think that, Yeah. I mean, I think if
- 17:54Speaker 1: you don't want to play for a winning baseball team,
- 17:56Speaker 1: you shouldn't be playing Major League baseball. Right If the
- 17:59Speaker 1: only thing you care about as a paycheck, like, get
- 18:02Speaker 1: out of the sport. But I do think that, Yeah,
- 18:05Speaker 1: Like I think that one. I think you can be
- 18:09Speaker 1: sold on the idea that the Pirates are only a
- 18:11Speaker 1: couple hitters away. And if you're a guy like Jorge Polanco,
- 18:14Speaker 1: who has been a difference maker and everywhere he's played,
- 18:19Speaker 1: he can you can convince yourself that, yeah, my addition
- 18:22Speaker 1: will not only make this current roster better, but it
- 18:25Speaker 1: will it will be a selling point to other guys
- 18:28Speaker 1: who will want to come here and add to the nucleus.
- 18:31Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he's totally his agencies totally look
- 18:33Speaker 1: at it and be like the Pirates are by far
- 18:36Speaker 1: the most interested team, and we're going to put it
- 18:39Speaker 1: out there being like, you know, I don't know, maybe
- 18:42Speaker 1: I'm interested, maybe I'm not. Yeah, And we're going to
- 18:44Speaker 1: try to get every dime out of him. And that's
- 18:47Speaker 1: smart business in my.
- 18:48Speaker 3: Opinion, oh for sure, because hey, we aren't trying to win,
- 18:51Speaker 3: so we'll bump it up like show, like all those things.
- 18:54Speaker 4: But at the same time still might not be enough.
- 18:57Speaker 4: You know, he might be saying I want to see.
- 18:58Speaker 3: More, but moll tell But I'm not opposed to that.
- 19:02Speaker 3: I like the idea because that's as part of being
- 19:06Speaker 3: a you know, free agent. You know, you're gonna talk
- 19:08Speaker 3: to different teams and you know, see what's gonna be
- 19:11Speaker 3: best fit. And Pirates they got some coming in three
