00:00What's your best guess for the opening day infield?
00:04What would be starting?
00:05Without a trade or with a trade?
00:09I mean, let's do both.
00:10I mean, I guess you could say what it would be right now versus what you think it could be.
00:13Yeah, they could.
00:14I think what they...
00:15They could do.
00:15I know that they want to play Marcelo Meyer at third, right?
00:18But you could platoon Romy...
00:20Gonzalez and Marcelo at second.
00:22You could do that and figure out third.
00:23That might be the case.
00:25The Gino Suarez thing, man.
00:26Like, I get it.
00:27He hits home runs.
00:29But if...
00:30If you're going to go down this run prevention route, that's not the guy to get.
00:34And I'll say it.
00:35Again, we're tying ourselves into not trying to figure out what is left.
00:40Brennan Donovan, not a great fit, will cost you a lot.
00:44Nico Horner...
00:45Fine.
00:45One year, though, will cost you a lot.
00:48Well, a ton.
00:49I'll come back...
00:50I look at Matt Shaw, this kid from the Cubs, the pride of Northfield, Mount Hermon.
00:55And had a great second half last year.
00:5724 years old.
00:59Doesn't have a...
01:00Logical place to play in the Cubs.
01:01Yes.
01:02Will he cost a Peyton Tolley or a Conley...
01:05Early level guy?
01:06Yeah, probably.
01:07But if you're talking about a right-handed power...
01:10hitting third baseman who can field the ball, that's the type of guy you've got to get.
01:14Wow, he's going to...
01:15He's going to cost that?
01:17Yeah.
01:18Yeah, he's...
01:18Listen, the Cubs...
01:20As much as he doesn't have a place to play right now, Nico Horner's a free agent after next year.
01:25So, it's like, you've got to...
01:26You're going to have to fill in that gap and, by the way...
01:30He was a first-round pick, a top prospect, a guy who in the second half...
01:35of last year actually showed why he's a first-round pick and a top prospect.
01:39He...
01:40He can be a valuable, valuable guy.
01:42But yeah, to answer your question, that's probably what it would cost.
01:45He...
