00:00Yeah, I mean, it's an extensive list, but they're mostly maybes, right?

00:04Alcantara is the most likely, obviously,

00:06an outstanding pitcher with another year to go after this year

00:09plus the option year, which means really two extra years.

00:13I know the Marlins are saying they're not trading him.

00:15Of course, who believes them? Nobody.

00:17So he's expected to be traded.

00:20It makes no sense that he's on that team.

00:21But beyond that, I mean, let's see what the Astros do.

00:25Fomber Valdez is a free agent after the year.

00:28He's an outstanding pitcher.

00:31Pablo Lopez, the Twins are not off to a good start.

00:34His name was out there.

00:35Luis Castillo, I know the Mariners are saying right now they're not trading him,

00:39but he's been out there in the winter, certainly.

00:42You're right on Bassett.

00:44Gossman also, both Bassett and Gossman are pitching very, very well for the Blue Jays.

00:48I don't think the Blue Jays are going to give up that easily.

00:51So, you know, maybe they will not be dealt, but certainly a possibility.

00:55To me, the Cardinals are not a contender, and I'm not sure why Arenado's still there,

01:00but Sonny Gray, I think he's still there because he doesn't want to leave.

01:04He loves St. Louis.

01:05You know, I don't know what it is.

01:07The Arch, I'm not sure, but he loves it.

01:09Toasted gravioli?

01:12Yeah, maybe.

01:13I don't know.

01:14You know, they do have good Italian food.

01:17Not as good as New York, but good Italian food.

01:19But you're right, Tyler Anderson's another guy, but potentially the Pirates have a couple guys,

01:26Keller, Heaney, but it's not a short list of possibilities.

01:31That said, I would say that Gray and the Blue Jays guys are not that likely,

01:35but certainly Alcantara, Frambo Valdez, Lopez, Castillo.

01:41I mean, it's not a bad list.

01:43The problem is, of course, there's a lot of teams that are pitching even worse than the Cubs.

01:48You know, I mean, the Orioles, obviously, the Yankees are going to need pitching.

01:52We'll see about the Mets.

01:53But, I mean, there are a number of teams that really need pitching.

01:57Among the contenders, basically almost anybody except the Mariners probably will be looking at pitching.
