00:00I keep thinking about the contract length on Kyle Tucker,

00:04the fact that there have been rumors,

00:07well, maybe they'll get an extension done.

00:08I tend to believe he'll go to market

00:10because there will be a lot of people

00:13that will want one of the top 15 players in the league

00:16and he'll make a lot of money.

00:18And it doesn't seem like the Cubs are ready to go,

00:21here's half a billion dollars right now.

00:23Knowing that you've got him here for a year,

00:25looking at the difference that he makes to your lineup

00:28on a nightly basis,

00:30how much heat he's creating for the rest of your lineup,

00:36I feel like you have to take advantage of it.

00:38And I'm not even saying that I want the Cubs

00:41to make a panic move.

00:44I just think that it would,

00:46I feel like they solidified that this is a team

00:49that feels like they can compete.

00:51Oh, yeah.

00:52Right?

00:52I think they solidified that.

00:54100%.

00:55And I want you to keep going.

00:57Like, just because Justin Steele is hurt

01:00doesn't mean that the season should be punted.

01:04It should be a call to arms,

01:07figuratively and literally,

01:09to get someone in here who's going to step into that.

01:13Cubs fans deserve it.

01:15Like, they deserve the go-for-it year

01:19because they have been here over the last five years

01:23where it's been like half measures

01:25or we're just kind of hoping that everyone outperforms

01:29what they ordinarily are.

01:31You got a dude that's probably a five-and-a-half,

01:35a six-war player out there playing right field for you.

01:39Go.

01:40Like, this is the opportunity.

01:42This is the whole reason that you have the picks that you have.

01:45Go for it.

01:46Go for it.
