And we are back folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA online at the

Big 1050.com.

Whenever I'm in studio with my man, Matt and Ms. Misler, the vibe is always, look, we talk

everything with the, there's an inherent Tigers vibe in the studio when Ms. and I are together.

This is my tiger's brother at arms, if you will.

The old English D.

Yeah, the Old English D.

That Old English D just shines brighter when it's Sam and me.

Yeah, doesn't the vibe just flow through us together, Ms.

The Detroit orange just flows a little bit brighter. It just does. It just feels a little bit better. It just does, man, because... You just feel the vibe a little better, man. You know, you and I, we just, we just, we just, we just, we pumps through our veins, man. Indeed, it does. And so I'm always, every time I see you, I don't know if you get tired of it, but you're the only one I can bounce tiger stuff off of. The only time I get tired of it, Sam, is when I'm just going, I don't know, my backside it is about trying to come up with something like this, man. Like, who are we going to get, miss? Who are we going to get? I don't know, but it inches right now, man.

It just, I don't know.

It just, everything about it just kind of hurts.

And that question, it really boils down to who are you willing to give up?

Who are you willing to give up when it comes to your farm system?

The tigers, by most accounts, have the best farm system in all of baseball.

And they aren't looking to change that assessment that, uh, that assessment by, you know, uprooting that,

by, you know, by gutting that here at the deadline.

You're trying to trade all your guys to make a run.

You want to be judicious.

You want to be selective, right? You know, you know you need some

pieces, but you aren't trying to mortgage the future for the present. Right. So can you achieve

both goals, maintaining that best firm system status while also making a run.
