Find value on the margins that to be able to do that
00:03
But yeah, I think that you know, you're always trying to be creative and I think there's
00:07
There's room for it this year
00:09
You don't have to be creative. You don't have to find value on the margins. You're the Cubs
00:15
Gathering information. Here's your information Juan Soto was an 8-win player last year
00:21
Exchanging ideas at cocktail parties. Aha. Here's an idea sign the guy that was a 180
00:28
WRC plus at his
00:31
158 for his damn career. He was an 8-win player last year. You're the Cubs
00:37
Here's your margins
00:39
Two things can be true. I'm freaking Soto two things can be true. They can go after Juan Soto and also try to improve
00:47
Around the margins. I remember that time at the winter meetings last year. They wanted to go after show
00:52
Hey, Otani, do you remember that hot like four weeks where we talked about it?
00:56
Tiny was never coming to Chicago
00:59
Talking about they're like, oh show. Hey, Otani
01:01
No, the Cubs are for real making a push for real
01:04
They could have made the best push ever, but I don't think they were in the mindset of deferring money
01:09
I think they were in the market, but you're not that's kind of my point here is that
01:14
You know, they at least flirted with it kind of last year at least let us talk about in a way
01:19
That wasn't unreal. I think because I feel like this is totally out of the realm of what they're gonna gathering information
01:25
Here's information type in Juan Soto fan graphs. Is it fair Dan?
01:31
Go after they can go after Juan Soto, but if they don't get him, they have to have other plans
01:36
That's fine. But do first thing you do. We owe what your plan is. That's the plan
01:40
Get the guy that was an eight win player last year. You want to get better at baseball? It's it's really it's not that hard
01:48
You want to be better? What did I say better players? What did I say? They need?
01:53
Stoppers
01:54
Boppers Juan Soto falls into one of these categories. I think he'd be in the bopper side. He had 41 home runs
02:01
That's all the Yankees needed to get to the World Series
02:04
I thought they were well, it's World Series team before but no apparently they just needed Juan Soto. It was that simple. What?
