 Michael Duarte tweeted this. Multiple sources have told me that the Dodgers have checked in on the availability of Bryce Harper. Nats are still undecided on if they want to sell, but if they do, LA is a likely destination. Now, fascinating on a couple levels, because for teams even to make the call to check in to me is amazing at this point. Mike Rizzo even said we'll see where we are here in these next couple series. Is this even realistic at all in your world? Well, is it possible? Well, sure, you wouldn't be doing your job as a general manager or as an opposing organization if you didn't check in and just say, hey, look, Mike speaking to Washington. If you are thinking about moving Bryce Harper, don't be afraid to give us a ring because we are interested. That's basically the tenor of that conversation. The reality is that the nationals, they win again tonight, okay? They've got two more games with the Marlins. They can't pack it in. They just can't. They're chasing the Braves and the Phillies. The Braves and the Phillies, it's not the Dodgers, it's not the Cubs, it's not an experienced ball club. And who knows where those teams are gonna go? If, if, and I say if, it ain't happening, but if Harper were to be moved, yes, the Dodgers are a destination. The Cleveland Indians would be a destination. And I was told tonight, the other place, the Oakland A's would be a possibility. And when you kind of couple all that together with the, you know, look at Billy Bean making a splash, I mean, that would be something. But Bryce isn't going anywhere, so we can get on to the next segment, right? You know, I agree with you. There's six games out after the wins. And I think with, with Harper being potentially as last year there, you have to go for it. You absolutely have to go for it if you're Washington, especially considering who's in front of you. But you bring up something there. Billy Bean, you said earlier in the show, the big splash, that type of trade. If it's not Harper, do you fully expect him to go and get a monster type player here? Do you see that? Well, I don't know that there's another monster type. Maybe not like that. I mean, maybe you could do like an Adam Jones. I mean, that may make some sense. Look at, I think Billy will make another move. I don't think there's any question. I think maybe you've got to look at the starting staff, see where you can add right there. You know, I'm not really sure if, and again, it may not happen in these next few days. Because remember, remember when Justin Verlander was acquired last year? It was August 31st. So there's still time, but look at getting back to the nationals and get, they're still in this thing. I still believe they're going to win the division. I do believe that. I just think, I agree. I think we all just thought they'd be up by 15 by now. Right, right. And they're down six still. They're just making it more fun. Yeah. Excuse me. Brett Phillips removed from his minor league game tonight. So trade on the line. Sir, you're going to come on out of the game. That's the deal with that, and the Brewers getting out of that game. I'm curious though. So with that being said, maybe there is a trade on the horizon, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow. Do the Brewers have to match move from move here with the Cubs? I mean, we just saw the Cubs get Hamels yesterday. I mean, is it okay? Your move now it's ours type of thing? Well, it's not, you just have to make a move. Based on what happened last year when you had that huge lead, the Cubs go out and acquire a container, and then boom, they just start to run away with it. You don't do anything up to this point this year. I mean, you know, Soria, that's right. But you haven't really done anything impactful. You've got to send a message to the guys in the clubhouse. I mean, I remember a trade deadline time when I was playing with the Dodgers, and you want some backing from your front office. You feel like, look, we've put ourselves in a position. Can you help a brother out, right? Just give us somebody to walk through that door. And right now, the Brewers had such a great first half, and they played, you know, at one point, they had the best record in the National League. They've got to get something. They were in the Machado sweepstakes, so it's like, yes, yet, oh, we didn't get them. And that takes a lot out of you, especially as a player, because you get to a certain point and you're just like, man, we're doing everything we can. I think the Brewers will make a move. I think it'll be a combo deal. You can either go to Minnesota, you go Dozier and maybe Gibson, or you go to Baltimore. You get Scope and maybe Gosmin. And you can take those pieces that you were gonna go get Machado with. You still got them. Use them. Dozier's gotta go somewhere, right? I mean, he's a piece that, he's walking at the end of the year, they're not gonna sign. He's gotta help somebody at Dozier. Well, you just don't know what the asking price is, but at some point, like I said, Milwaukee, the National League is so wide open. I'd say, look, the Cubs getting Hamels at that. That helps a bit. Obviously, Machado going to the Dodgers. That separates them a little bit, but there is no clear cut team in the National League. And so this is a time for any team in the National League to strike because you have an opportunity to get to the World Series. It's not like you're sitting in the American League where you go like, geez, I got the Red Sox and the Astros and the Yankees and the Indians. You know, I mean, any team you could make a case for in the National League. Well, we'll see. It seems like maybe a trade could be a minute for the Brewers, but we'll keep tabs on that.
