00:00So, he gives you some veteran depth in the lineup at three different spots in the order,

00:08potentially.

00:09And I think that the way that he finished last season, he was hot.

00:12And I know he's 40.

00:13I'm not going to get too carried away with what to expect from somebody at this stage

00:16of his career.

00:18But it's a modest investment, relatively modest.

00:21And it's a guy that is a winner.

00:23A good clubhouse guy.

00:24He comes to the Cubs.

00:26This is his leadership depth.

00:29Fourth team in four years.

00:31Leadership depth.

00:32Yeah.

00:33Well, you need leadership depth.

00:34You need a council.

00:35Or a committee.

00:36Do the Cubs have eight captains?

00:37I thought they had a council.

00:38They do.

00:39But they don't have...

00:40Their council is the highest paid manager in baseball.

00:42They don't have Theo to council.

00:44No, they don't have Theo.

00:45You'll never have another Theo.

00:47Never.

00:48Boy.

00:49That was good to get the rundown of Theo's involvement in Boston.

00:51I enjoyed that.

00:52I enjoyed it.

00:54That's a happy story.

00:55I also think it's a happy story if he's got a share of the Fenway group.

01:01Woo.

01:02That's fine.

01:03That's what...

01:04They really should have offered him here.

01:07Yeah.

01:08What's in it?

01:09What's in it?

01:10They could only offer part of the Cubs.

01:11They couldn't offer anything else.

01:13He probably is in it for Liverpool.

01:15Justin Turner, in his final 216 plate appearances in 2024, slash line 306, 394, 454.

01:24Wow.

01:26That's pretty good.

01:27That's better than I would have thought.

01:28Do you know what?

01:29Bregman's slash line and his slash...

01:30I mean, just saying.

01:31I don't.

01:32We should count that.

01:33There's a homework assignment for myself.

01:34I don't.

01:35I'm going to get Bregman.

01:36Do that tonight.

01:37Do that tonight.

01:38Dustin, are you pleased with the depth now?

01:39It's better.

01:40Here's the key part.

01:42It's not protection for Matt Shaw.

01:44He's not a third base.

01:45You don't want...

01:46You may as well have Ron Coomer, and I love the Coombe dog, and he'll be here Friday.

01:49You may as well have Ron come out and play third base if you're going to have 40-year-old

01:53Justin Turner play third base.
