00:00I have a financial question as well because you guys obviously did a lot of spending with the
00:04extensions that you gave out with the signing of Alex Bregman. You guys poured some money into
00:09this. Does that affect financially where you guys are in terms of the trades that you have to make
00:15or would be desirous of making? In other words, do you have to be more careful because of the money
00:20that you guys already poured into this year's team? I would say first off, we always want to
00:25be smart with our decisions. We want to be profligate by any means. But on the other hand,
00:29Tom, whenever we've needed resources, he's been there for us. So that's just not our
00:33concern. Certainly that doesn't mean we're going to go and add $100 million to our payroll at the
00:39deadline. But I think if there's a good move that's good for our franchise and good for
00:42the current and future state of the Cubs, I think the resources will be there for it.
