00:00I just don't think it's time yet. I don't think it's time for a quote-unquote the big splash.

00:04I don't think they're there yet. I think if they go all in on some, unless something fell on their

00:09lap, it's just it's they're not there yet. I'm completely content with them figuring it out with

00:15the guys that they have, with the manager that they have, and the opportunities against the

00:19teams. I am 100% fine with it. That's what I think they should do. Well it's going to turn into

00:24Cora was the big expenditure, as we thought whenever we talked about it, whenever Alex Cora

00:30signed, and we were here saying, all right, is this their way of saying, hey, here's our big

01:17confirm that they're going to, like almost like it's like a luxury item. Listen, we have extra

01:21money. We have the motivation. We're really good. We're, you know, we're not the Red Sox. Like the

01:26Red Sox, there's no way they're going to sit there and just overpay for when they think they have a

01:31chance. They're a scrappy team. They still have some issues. It's not time yet. It's going to be

01:35free agency in 2024 is when they're going to make a move, and then possibly trade deadline 2025.

01:43Maybe.
