00:00The Cubs are looking at adding that pitcher that we've been talking about,

00:05and it appears they're getting closer to identifying some of these teams

00:11that are out of it that want to trade.

00:14So I wouldn't be shocked over the next week or 10 days,

00:17much before the trading deadline, maybe as early as this week,

00:21that they make a move for another starting pitcher.

00:25Hold on.

00:26Yeah.

00:26This week, you think the Cubs could make a move?

00:29They could.

00:30They could.

00:30So, Bruce, you come into the show.

00:32You come into the program.

00:33You ask us, what do you want to lead with?

00:36That's what we want to lead with.

00:38Yeah, well, I mean, you know, it's your show.

00:41But you're our guy.

00:42Are we talking maybe a certain former Cy Young winner from Miami,

00:49or is it more likely to be Aaron Savaii?

00:51More likely a guy that we can't all identify that's a good, young veteran pitcher,

00:58and I'm working hard to try to identify that right now.

01:01Bruce, great work.

01:02I think that's very interesting.

01:03Is this a little bit – well, we will let you go,

01:05but is this a little bit earlier than you anticipated?

01:08No.

01:09No, I mean, they're going for it.

01:11They're proactive.

01:12I mean, the other part of that is, you know,

01:15with all due respect to Matt Shaw and how he's playing third base.

01:18Great point.

01:18You know, do you add a right-handed hitting third baseman?

01:23Got to consider it.

01:24And is that a bigger part of a trade?

01:27So those are the things we should keep our eye on.

01:29Great.
