I keep thinking about the contract length on Kyle Tucker,
00:04
the fact that there have been rumors,
00:07
well, maybe they'll get an extension done.
00:08
I tend to believe he'll go to market
00:10
because there will be a lot of people
00:13
that will want one of the top 15 players in the league
00:16
and he'll make a lot of money.
00:18
And it doesn't seem like the Cubs are ready to go,
00:21
here's half a billion dollars right now.
00:23
Knowing that you've got him here for a year,
00:25
looking at the difference that he makes to your lineup
00:28
on a nightly basis,
00:30
how much heat he's creating for the rest of your lineup,
00:36
I feel like you have to take advantage of it.
00:38
And I'm not even saying that I want the Cubs
00:41
to make a panic move.
00:44
I just think that it would,
00:46
I feel like they solidified that this is a team
00:49
that feels like they can compete.
00:51
Oh, yeah.
00:52
Right?
00:52
I think they solidified that.
00:54
100%.
00:55
And I want you to keep going.
00:57
Like, just because Justin Steele is hurt
01:00
doesn't mean that the season should be punted.
01:04
It should be a call to arms,
01:07
figuratively and literally,
01:09
to get someone in here who's going to step into that.
01:13
Cubs fans deserve it.
01:15
Like, they deserve the go-for-it year
01:19
because they have been here over the last five years
01:23
where it's been like half measures
01:25
or we're just kind of hoping that everyone outperforms
01:29
what they ordinarily are.
01:31
You got a dude that's probably a five-and-a-half,
01:35
a six-war player out there playing right field for you.
01:39
Go.
01:40
Like, this is the opportunity.
01:42
This is the whole reason that you have the picks that you have.
01:45
Go for it.
01:46
Go for it.
