00:00What do you think of the Cubs taking advantage of of the Astros trying to get underneath the CBT?

00:07Well, I think that so a couple things the the the Tucker deal

00:11I thought that worked out really well

00:12And of course then the Presley deal was the second one so it was it was obviously a two-parter if you will

00:18I I like it

00:19It would not surprise me if eventually from Houston side of things that leads to Bregman going back home so to speak

00:24But I think that Presley was an excellent buy low by the Chicago Cubs

00:30I am a big Ryan Presley fan

00:31There are not a lot of pitchers active in the major leagues right now

00:35Who know what it's like to throw the last pitch of a World Series and Ryan Presley does he has been in the middle of?

00:41a lot of different

00:42postseason

00:44Situations he has been in some big moments

00:46There's a reason why when Mark DeRosa had a chance to name anybody as closer any

00:51American-born relief pitcher could have been the closer on Team USA he chose Ryan Presley

00:55It says a lot about the amount of confidence people have in him

00:58I thought last year he handled the the change of role because of Hayter arriving with about as much

01:05Professionalism and grace as you could have expected and now he's right back where he belongs in the ninth inning

01:11He's got Tucker there with him

01:12I just think it was a phenomenal move by the Cubs front office and we'll see if there might be one more move to come

01:18With with Dylan Cease potentially I heard the Cubs on them on him in the last 24 hours here or so

01:24But I think in general the Cubs did a very good job of being opportunistic and making some really smart moves

01:31after the first of the year
