I'll just say this as far as Darvish.
00:05
You know, if you get yourself into a playoff run and you're you Darvish and you are somewhere
00:10
in this world and you are dealing with a family issue, that's what they're calling it.
00:14
The rumors have been that somebody in his family is very ill and that he's home being
00:18
with his family member.
00:19
If that's the case, super honorable.
00:22
The other part of it is to leave the team and be willing to say, I'm not, I'm not going
00:27
to be here.
00:28
I'm not going to be performing.
00:29
I'm dealing with my own personal issue and I'm not going to be paid during this time.
00:32
Also a very honorable thing by Darvish.
00:35
But at some point, if you are very much live in this playoff race and I don't mean to sound
00:42
insensitive in the slightest bit, but at some point, but don't you want to come back?
00:48
I mean, don't you want to be part of this and don't you want to help?
00:51
But the question though, it becomes this, you know, if, if let's just say this, let's
00:54
say he's home.
00:56
Let's say he's in Japan and if the rumors are true, brother has cancer.
01:01
And let's say he's, he's there and he's, he's with family.
01:04
Is he working out?
01:05
Is he staying in shape?
01:06
Is he throwing the ball?
01:07
I think that's the point.
01:08
Could he possibly contribute this year?
01:09
I think that, I think the San Diego Padres, AJ Preller being the guy I'm talking to must
01:13
operate on the fact that he is not coming back with like at what point will they close
01:19
the door on that?
01:20
Because I think that I don't know, I don't know when, but I'm saying right now, four
01:24
hours before the trade deadline, you Darvish is not coming back.
01:27
That's the way I'm thinking.
01:28
If I'm AJ Preller, I think that's what you have to think.
01:31
You have to.
01:32
Yeah.
01:33
You can't assume that he's going to come back.
01:34
Cause even if he said, if he called you next week and he said, Hey, I'm ready to come back
01:36
and be like, okay, well we'll probably need you to get back into shape over the course
01:39
of the next one.
01:40
A program.
01:41
Yeah.
01:42
Yeah.
01:43
I mean, it's going to take a while.
01:44
And then when he comes back, what do you get?
01:45
Who knows?
01:46
Right.
01:47
Yeah.
