00:00Find value on the margins that to be able to do that

00:03But yeah, I think that you know, you're always trying to be creative and I think there's

00:07There's room for it this year

00:09You don't have to be creative. You don't have to find value on the margins. You're the Cubs

00:15Gathering information. Here's your information Juan Soto was an 8-win player last year

00:21Exchanging ideas at cocktail parties. Aha. Here's an idea sign the guy that was a 180

00:28WRC plus at his

00:31158 for his damn career. He was an 8-win player last year. You're the Cubs

00:37Here's your margins

00:39Two things can be true. I'm freaking Soto two things can be true. They can go after Juan Soto and also try to improve

00:47Around the margins. I remember that time at the winter meetings last year. They wanted to go after show

01:19That wasn't unreal. I think because I feel like this is totally out of the realm of what they're gonna gathering information

01:25Here's information type in Juan Soto fan graphs. Is it fair Dan?

01:31Go after they can go after Juan Soto, but if they don't get him, they have to have other plans

01:36That's fine. But do first thing you do. We owe what your plan is. That's the plan

01:40Get the guy that was an eight win player last year. You want to get better at baseball? It's it's really it's not that hard

01:48You want to be better? What did I say better players? What did I say? They need?

01:53Stoppers

01:54Boppers Juan Soto falls into one of these categories. I think he'd be in the bopper side. He had 41 home runs

02:01That's all the Yankees needed to get to the World Series

02:04I thought they were well, it's World Series team before but no apparently they just needed Juan Soto. It was that simple. What?
