You know, I wanna go back to Monday with the trading deadline here.
You know, I mean, so many teams are so close, especially in the American League.
I mean, you- you're, you're as, you're as close as four games out right now for a playoff spot.
It just hasn't been great baseball in the American League, or maybe it's been parity.
Do you think there's gonna be a lot of activity going on on Monday or do you think people are still looking at it, "Hey, we're still in it," you know?

I think that that's obvious.
I think the Blue Jays would be best served at this point to understand that even if they were to make a run, they're not good enough to go as deep as they did last year.

They seem to be acquiring players.
For what?

Dan, my answer?
Yes.
I do think Monday there will be a lot of trades.

Every, oh, it's gonna be a very active deadline.

Good.
It's the- Oof New York mess.
I mean- Oof let's see if David Stern- Brutal survives this thing here.
Absolutely brutal.
The worst team money can buy, part two
