And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Mr. Ira Weintraub on the other side.

And we are back with our good friend Eric Adelson, EA.

So switching gears over to Major League Baseball.

I have been critical, as have many Tiger fans of Scott Harris, especially of Chris Illich,

for being, you know, miserly being, in the case of Chris Illich, you know, just refusing to spend the coin that it appears as necessary to compete at a World Series level.

And then they go out and they sign the best pitcher available. And then they go out and they sign the best pitcher available,

and then they go out and they bring home one of the all-time greats.

What do you think of the moves that the Tigers made here heading into Spring Train?

Do you think it's enough to put them over the top and what it looks like

is probably going to be the last year of tariff school i mean i'm impressed um i i never would

have thought that uh 2026 would bring the thought that uh um uh scott harris is doing a better job than Brad Holmes.

But right now, there's more competition, I'll say, between those two in terms of who's being

more aggressive and proactive.

I really like it.

I mean, the thing that I really like about A.J AJ Hinch and Chris Fedder and Scott Harris is the understanding that if you're not pitching, you're not winning.

You can have huge bats.

You could have big names, but if you can't pitch, it doesn't matter.

And we find that out every year.

And the Yankees, it seems like the Yankees and the Mets find that out the hard way.

This is a, if nothing else, they've given themselves a chance to go deep into the playoffs

and win it all in a way that they did not have last year.

I hate that Reese Olson is out for the year.
