See, there's the comment.

It should happen regardless.

It is the last dance with Terek Scouble.

You have a need at starting pitching.

Yet every time there's a report, whether it was Gialito, Bassett, now Framber Valdez,

who by the way I don't like, but whatever, every time there's a caveat if they win the arbitration they want to go get

these people ken rosenthal that's the audio we just played is even saying if they lose the

arbitration they're not going to make any additions how can $13 million be a consideration in your true

world series window? We have possibly no 2007. I'm sorry, but like I can't help but think

if you have an owner who's truly driven by winning it all, That 13, that's not even a rounding error.

It's a stick of gum.

No, Mike, the $13 million, it makes you feel like they didn't want to spend it regardless

because it's $13 million.

Now, if people are going to get mad at you for saying that, then here's what I need from you.

Tell me how Rico's opinion there or mine is unreasonable,

or that the conclusions we're arriving at are somehow

Zaputo film tinfoil conspiracy theory.

We're not saying go out and spend 40, 50, 60 million dollars,

13 million. And you spent at 15 on a pitcher who never pitched for you

last year. It's, it's, that that's the part I can't work around. It's like you're holding everybody

hostage and we're all waiting to see what happens with arbitration for a guy that it never shouldn't gotten this far in arbitration with. But again, it never should have got this far because he should have been traded. Right. Then you could have run your off. Now, according to these reports, then you could have run your offseason any which way you wanted to. Yeah. The $32 million, you could have gone out and signed to Giolito, signed to Suarez. You could have signed multiple players. Look, it's not that they haven't spent. This is the other misnomer. I don't agree with the way they've spent. I have a right to that opinion. This isn't North Korea. They've spent some. They're firmly middle of the pack in MLB.

Do I wish they'd go a little further while they have scoble?
