00:03If I were to offer you this, and Cub fans, you're okay with this.
00:08Jackson Wiggins, who is the young fireballing pitcher who everybody wanted and they didn't want to give up.
00:13Keep going.
00:15Owen Casey, who is your lefty right fielder with pop, who apparently everybody wanted and you didn't want to give up.
00:23Keep going.
00:24Matt Shaw, your young third baseman with five to six years of control.
00:31Keep going.
00:31Who can start.
00:32Well, then you'll go to additional young pieces, but those three are the centerpiece of your offer.
00:39And then you see where you have to go.
00:41And then, by the way, as you're team building, you go out and you get yourself a third baseman with some pop like Eugenio Suarez.
00:47Or Alex Bregman.
00:48Well, yeah, Bregman, but I don't know that they're going to go as long as that is going to go.
00:52So you're thinking like a two-year or three-year deal on Suarez?
00:55I bet Suarez you might be able to get for a one-and-one at his age, a one-year with an option, considering what the market's going to be.
01:02And you could pay 25 mil for a third baseman who's capable of hitting 40, 45 homers for you and has dominated at Wrigley every time he's played there.
01:10So you're adding power at third base, even though you're trading away Shaw, and you're adding Scooble.
01:17And then because Scooble's money is manageable, you can go get another starting pitcher, and you should.
01:23I know that Colin Ray just re-upped, but they should go get another one, another free agent righty who can miss some bats.
01:30They need some righties.
01:31I know.
01:31I know.
01:32But that's my starting point for a Scooble deal.
01:35Any Cub fans who don't want to give up that much, I'd be interested.
01:39I think I would be, too, because it's one year, and I know that people love to hump the prospects, big prospect humpers around here.
01:51But that guy is more than a known commodity.
01:55And with the lack of money that he's making, I feel it would be worth it.
02:02And your rotation becomes really fascinating.
02:06Yeah, if you're Boyd and Cade Horton and Justin Steele and Tarek Scooble and Jamison Tyone, that is a serious potential rotation.
