00:00that chris young knows and thinks himself that this group is not going to get it done
00:22offensively to go along with this amazing starting staff and that a move is going to
00:27have to be made well yeah you know he's always said uh this is a you know results oriented business
00:34and you know at the end of the day i think and that applies in one way to hey it doesn't matter
00:40what the names are in the back i mean if you're not producing you're not producing and uh now that
00:45means something different for everyone right if ezekiel duran's not producing after a few weeks
00:49that's gonna you know be a little bit treated a little bit differently than if you know marcus
00:53simeon isn't producing after you know a month and a half uh and and their business reasons as to why
00:59there's track record reasons as to why but at the end of the day uh yeah i mean i think chris young
01:04right now if the trade deadline was approaching at the end of this month then yeah i think you would
01:09see them try to to get a bat or two or uh you know someone that's going to try and you know change the
01:16calculus of of this lineup uh so yeah there's no doubt about it now there is the financial component
01:21because uh if if ownership is firm on staying below the first luxury tax apron then anyone that
01:30they acquire in a trade they've got to make sure that you know financially they're still in in a
01:34position to do that to stay below if that is a mandate now if they're willing to go above that
01:40first apron all right that could change things a little bit so um there are some obstacles you know
01:45in place financially uh it doesn't mean that there aren't guys out there who are cheap or maybe some
01:51some money that can be exchanged but uh that is that is one challenge it's it's not that the
01:56rangers don't have the you know the resources to make acquisitions it's just a matter of you know
02:00what what is the money mandate for this front office what are and are they not allowed to do
02:06from a financial standpoint uh in in trying to add talent to this roster
02:10from a financial standpoint uh in the right to the right to the right to the right to the right to the
