00:00How would you prioritize starting pitcher, relief pitcher, bat?

00:07Starting pitcher, yeah, I think the same thing that they think.

00:10But as we said before, let's say last week, good luck with that.

00:14You know, this is, you know, the Joe Ryan thing a week ago,

00:17everyone was talking about Joe Ryan and, you know,

00:20Joe Ryan was psyched for the trade deadline.

00:22Well, I'd be shocked if Joe Ryan got dealt.

00:25And that leads you to a bunch of the Reynolds.

00:27And I heard you guys talking about Charlie Morton.

00:30And, you know, I think Charlie Morton is just sort of like a name that is just,

00:34I don't think, put it this way, if they got Charlie Morton,

00:37I would have a hard time believing that would be the only pitcher that they've got.

00:41So the name that has come up recently that's interesting to me is Dylan Cease.

00:46Dylan Cease, you remember, two years ago was the be-all end-all at the trade deadline.

00:51His ERA hasn't been great this year.

00:53But if you look at it, it's really been, you know, a four-star stretch that hasn't been good.

00:58The last couple have been pretty good.

01:01And, you know, and I like Dylan Cease.

01:03Like, if you said to me, you've got Dylan Cease on a rental, that's an upgrade.

01:08That's a guy we all said, you've got to get a guy who can pitch in the playoffs.

01:12I would have no problem throwing Dylan Cease out in a playoff game.

01:15But there's a bunch of guys.

01:16There's a long list of these guys.

01:18And so I think that starting pitching number one,

01:21and then the relief pitching, you know,

01:23to help with what's going on in the back of the bullpen is number two.
