... that's a bit annoying, but what kind of deadline do you think it's gonna be? I know it's completely in flux right now because we have so many pivot teams.
At the end, on August 4th, do you think we will have had high, medium, low as far as volume and excitement?
Um, I think that the fact that it is a little bit later gives teams extra games to kind of make a decision on-
... teams that might be, you know, more willing to kind of wait it out and see, the, a reason to say like, "Hey, we need to go for it because we don't know what next season holds for us," right?
Um, so like if you're a team, you know, maybe like Pittsburgh that goes, "Hey, like I don't know what next season's gonna look like.
I have a few prospects in the minors that are interesting, but ultimately, uh, we wanna take a shot here because, you know, as our window continues to stay open we may lose that, one of those seasons next year potentially."
Why not go for this right here? Um, you know, I, I would love to see a team like Milwaukee, even though Milwaukee's come out and said, "Listen, we wanna add, but we don't wanna add payroll," which is insane, which is just saying you don't wanna add.
Like, [laughs] like I just, I, I understand where they're coming from in some respect, but also it's like that's part of the game.
Um, but uh, like I think there are some teams that, like Milwaukee's got a ton of prospects, uh, more than-
... yeah, like more than what they can actually use at the major league level, and at some point, those, you know, prospects like get devalued, you know, because you don't have a spot for him in your major league roster.
I don't think it's gonna be crazy just because I don't know how many teams are actually selling here.
