Main motivation was to a choir,
Robbie Ray who was a guy.
We had interest in the ideal of
a number two starter who had a
different style than Logan Webb
complimented him.
Well, I mean, he is a power
lefty who, you know, misses a
lot of that.
You know, before this injury
actually had a really good track
record of durability.
So we figured he would be back
something around the second half
as we look at our pitching staff
, you know, try to evaluate how
to organize the staff before
those two guys get back.
I mean, it's gonna probably an
area we continue to look to add
by either free agency or trade.
We've talked about how good we
feel about our pitching
pipeline.
The next wave of guys we have
coming kind of creating
opportunities for those guys.
It might be earlier rather than
later, obviously with this move
and as it stands now, I think we
like our outfield group.
We'd be fine going into the year
with it.
A lot of things still on the
table there, obviously, with
Mitch being traded, you know,
that's a power bat that you're
taking out of the equation.
But guys, like, you know, Ramos
is certainly a guy who could
provide that if he's able to win
a spot in our outfield, we
expect more power from Matos as
he gets used to major league
pitching.
And he's a guy who's exhibited
power in the past, but it could
certainly come from outside the
organization.
He does have doubt.
And if, if that's the case, I'm
sure we'll have further
conversations.
But, you know, there, there's
sort of plenty of room given
what he's got left on his
contract for him to pitch.
Well, and, you know, opt to
those last two years.
