0:01.9

Just kind of putting a bow on the trade deadline.

0:04.5

And I, there's been no yelling, screaming, anything like that for me because they've told

0:09.6

you who they are, what they are and what they want to be.

0:13.2

And look, they want to be good.

0:15.9

They want to get as many bites at the apple as they can.

0:19.5

But they're not going to do all-in stuff.

0:24.3

And look, no one with a brain was suggesting trading any of your top three, four prospects.

0:29.5

It just doesn't add up.
