It also interesting is going to be Tampa and the Blue Jays here as the Blue Jays boy, they
just they're hitting woes continue.
They are just not a very good offensive team right now.
Jack's going for the raise here.
They'll open up with Fisher and then they'll give way to to a bulk guy.
But the bottom line is you have to score in order to win games.
The Blue Jays have not been doing that.
And you and I talked yesterday.
Keep hearing Springer's name coming up.
The Rays are absolutely making it known that they are there on the market and maybe on
the prowl for for making a little bit of a push here at the trade deadline.
Blue Jays sellers raise buyers.
You still think they're correct?
Toronto.
But obviously, I think Tampa Bay is a buyer at this point.
And Joe, it's a stat.
I mean, think about a team that went to the World Series, Joe, the Toronto Blue Jays.
How did they get there last year?
Of course, they pitched well and Dylan Seas did a good job or is doing a good job for
them now.
Trae Savage in the postseason, Joe, the Toronto Blue Jays are last in runs in Major League
Baseball.
He's last.
I mean, that that I mean, I never in a million years would have thought that they have the
worst offense essentially in the game.
And so, Joe, when they look in the mirror, can you fix that now in August with one or
two players?
Probably not.
So I'm trending to believe that if this continues, maybe the Blue Jays next week just decide
to punt and let it go.
And by the way, I think that's probably a question that comes up for a lot of people
is that like have teams decided what they're going to do?
The answer is no.
Now, do I think by this time next week, teams will at least know what they want to do?
I think so.
But things are just so tight.
I don't think anybody's fully decided going into this weekend and maybe even early next
week.
But yes, I think a week from today, next Wednesday, yeah, you got to kind of have a clue as to
which direction you're going to go.
And that's when you start to see maybe some of the trades come in.
But I don't anticipate anything happening, by the way, over the next week.
