Which of these teams would you be like floored if they do nothing?

The Dodgers, the Dodgers to me, it's the Dodgers.

And I think honestly Houston, I think might be second for me on that list.

I would say the biggest guys left that are like, are absolutely getting traded.

Are Eric Fetty gone for sure, Jack Flaherty gone for sure.

Tanner Scott gone for sure.

Honestly, those are the three I am 100% certain of that I feel like are fairly impactful.

I, I just crochet.

I'm not going to believe it until I see it.

I certainly don't think it's gonna happen.

Tommy Pham, he's getting to is gone.

I know Tom Pham's awesome.

I so sorry, this is I I there's other players here that I'm confident are gonna trade in but as like like headline that is a real acquisition.

Flaherty Fetty Scott feel like the three big ones left for me.

But what, what do you think here is a theory with zero information?

Ok.

I think we've gone too far in the other direction on crochet.

I think that the report that came out about how he wants the extension and how teams are more cautious to trade for him.

Like he still could very well get traded.

Like I agree.

I agree and I think warm up into the not gonna get traded bucket and I think the Dodgers could just be like, eh, screw it.

I totally agree with that.

And I think that right.

Crochet and Robert are the ones to watch.

That could be, that would be both not stunning but would be like, oh, wow, like, ok, that's that.

Now we're seeing like the, the likelihood of the best possible prospect to get traded is going to involve probably one of those two guys getting moved.

The one that I'm super interested in, we've heard just no buzz about is Brandon Lao.

Like Brandon Lao.

I think he has a team option for $13 million.

I need another hobby.

The rays are certainly not picking that up.

10.5 10.5.

He's been great.

The Rays don't pay guys $10.5 million.

They just don't really do that.

They don't have, they're gonna be paying their payroll is gonna be like 50 million after all these other trades.

So I'm not saying it's a guarantee but like, I don't know, it's like, dude, he bangs, I think I, I'm all in on Brendan Lau.

He, he, whenever he's played, he has been good.

He's dealt with some injuries, but when he's on the field, he's a real impact guy.
