Blue a shoe.

All right.

So let's reset everything.

Tigers from the clouds.

Just, I think it's a moment we've all waited for.

If you've questioned Chris Illich and Scott Harris in the front office and their sincerity

and really trying to win, last night is the move you waited for.

And whether you like Valdez or love him, I leave that to you. When you go out and you make a major push and you pay a guy

in AAV a $38 million a year and you lost the arbitration to scuba, payroll sitting in or around

$200 million, job well done because now we get

to take it serious now we don't have to act like you're trying to steal something or fake your

way through it you've added arguably the top one two in the a l uh i have immense respect for it. That's no small thing.

Now, just remember, though, yesterday RICO and I were talking, and I told you, I'll never

root for a team in an arbitration to somehow demean their player. The money's there. That

reporting from Ken Rosenthal and others, well, if they lose the arbitration, they won't be able to get a pitcher. Boulder Dash. And the Tigers went out and showed you the money was there. There's had to be a will to match it. So this is they're all in. Sure, can we have a conversation? And Rico's made several good points about, yeah, there were other ways they could have done this. This was kind of a circuitous route, but the result's the result. I think you have every right to talk World Series. You now have one of the best rotations in the AL, and you get one last go around with Terrick Scouble. That's all I wanted. Sure, would I rather have had Bo Bichette? Yes.

Well, guess what?

This isn't a movie.

I can't change it around.

I'll take what I can get.

So we started with that.

The other one.

NBA trade deadline.
