earlier today Jeff passen dropped a major update on the MLB off season the free AG market and the trade market we are going to dive into everything that he ran through as far as the trade market is concerned and I will give you for the names that he presented or talked about in his article I’ll give you as I see it some of the best fits for for the players at the current moments uh we have certainly seen things change over the last couple of weeks through other trades and free agent signings so we will sort of do a refresh an update over or about teams and players and what makes the most sense at the current at the current time so let’s dive into this thing make sure to leave a like if you enjoy your time here will begin right at the top he defines the trade market temperature as warm this is coming off of a hot couple of days so I’m going to venture a guess that we’ve sort of cooled down slightly because it felt like it was boiling hot a couple of days ago with the Williams trade and the Tucker trade and the Bellinger talk and then eventually the trade so the latest attempted trade we had was this one and Jeff talks about how the Astros in this trade were willing to pay 59 of the remaining $64 million contract which let’s just think about that for a minute that’s incredible I Venture a guess that not too many other teams are interested or willing to do that and that’s certainly going to if you’re the Cardinals really piss you off I got to think now at the same time I would think that Nolan arado and the Cardinals they got to they got to be talking right uh to to to get as far as they did on a potential trade only for Nolan arado to kill it that’s a bad sign that that actually tells me that maybe they’re not talking hey we’re talking with the Astros uh we we’d like to talk with let’s go back to the beginning we’d like to talk with the Astros are you on board or or or maybe okay look you probably don’t want to go through all 30 teams and and do all that though there is a report out there that he has given them a wish list of six teams that report has also been contradicted so where things stand we don’t know but the fact is at some point before it gets close which is what it sounded like it was before it gets close you got to talk to Nolan AR ronado and see if he’s going to give you the okay on an Astros trade but willing to pay 59 of the 64 that is remaining I again don’t think too many teams are going to be interested in that and what does this say for the Astro situation in Alex bregman obviously I’m feeling like we can probably close the door there they have ESO parades in a trade they’re talking about trading for Nolan arado and paying a significant portion of what’s left bregman’s gone guys we got to start thinking about new teams for Alex bregman here we we we can think about Detroit uh we could think about Philly it’s over in Houston let’s keep going here let’s dig into the piece so right off the bat he starts in San Diego AJ PR always willing to consider creative deals could move cronenworth or Louis arise this is a team that is in a pinch when it comes to their financials after Peter Syler passed on and money is it’s different now so San Diego’s got to try to find some money because they have a lot of holes holes in the rotation holes in the bull holds the Outfield it’s everywhere so moving a player like arise or konorth or both or Dylan CE as will get to in a moment could free up money to sign a free agent and if the trade is right maybe bring back a piece so if a rise can turn into two players Crono withth can turn into two uh cease can turn into two or three your team is more whole than it is at the current Uh current time but what about trade partners again like I said we’re going to we’re going to match up these players with some potential teams here three that jump out are maybe the three most obvious and I know there’s Luke rley in Seattle but um this guys there’s a mitch hanar problem in Seattle Mitch hanar I don’t know if he’s good at baseball anymore I think there’s a lot of mariners fans that we tell you he he is I I don’t I don’t know if that’s actually true at at this point and I if I’m Seattle number one one of my primary objectives is improving my team and if if that means that Mitch hanar is going to the bench that’s what I’m doing if I can get Luis arise and I want arise and rley out there I’m sorry Mitch is on the bench unless Mitch is hot so I got to have the Mariners in play I think Arizona would be a perfect fit if you see Christian Walker not return New York Mets would be a fit if we don’t go a Pete Alonzo route and they don’t want to move Mark ventos to first but to hear you hear a lot of what I’m saying here you’re reading in between the lines right as far as the first base Market goes look the Mets could just uh move Vientos over the Seattle Mariners could say in Mitch we trust and that gets us to the Diamondbacks and what if the Diamondbacks bring back Christian Walker we we start looking at a a a marketplace where San Diego is not going to have any takers now konorth can also play second base which comes in handy but at the end of the day that’s kind of thin as well uh we think about some other teams that could wind up in play so San Francisco there is talk that San Francisco in this piece and we’ll talk about it could trade Wade the Rangers could trade low the Cleveland Guardians could trade Naylor and if that happens then and maybe San Diego all of a sudden has some new trade Partners if Nathaniel low goes somewhere for pitching let’s say Nathaniel low goes to Arizona for pitching all of a sudden Texas now steps up and maybe is interested in Lis arise so just right out of the gate there’s three teams we can find a fit and then there’s three teams that are sort of second Domino down teams and that would be San Francisco Texas and Cleveland interesting to watch but as as is now obvious it’s it’s not a clear wide open path the the first base position uh it is as pass and put in this piece it’s kind of muddied those other players that we talked about uh Naylor low and Wade Wade is a tremendous on base guy Naylor brings a ton of pop but he’s going to be a free agent after next year Nathaniel low is a very good hitter I believe if my memory serves me right missed a lot of time last year I don’t know why I’m blanking on that at this moment but Nathaniel low is a good hitter so you’ve got three potential Lefty bats here and I get to I don’t see these guys being you know Domino guys I mean I guess maybe if San Francisco trades Wade then they could be in play for Naylor but I look at these three as as as Forefront guys those teams that you can make an argument make a case that they could take a first baseman right now nailer to the Mets I think Mets fans would be pretty pretty into that uh low to the Mets Lamont Wade would be a great addition to that Seattle lineup that is trying to change their whole hitting approach it’s got to change uh so Lamar Wade would be a great addition there and again if if San Francisco trades Wade then all of a sudden we have a whole bunch of options here maybe they line up with San Diego maybe they line up with Cleveland we’ve got to see some movement here uh to get to get some of these other guys uh headed out the door let’s shift to the Outfield White Sox outfielder Luis Robert or center fielder Luis Robert has owed 50 million this year with a pair of $20 million Club options after that and whether it’s this winter or at the July trade deadline he is widely expected to be dealt out of the gate one of the first the earliest teams as as sort of Luis Robert trade rumors kicked back up with was the Cincinnati Reds I can also find a fit for the Phillies the Dodgers the Astros and the Red Sox Red Sox want to grab a a righty bat I think a a defensive presence in the Outfield would be a plus the Houston Astros just traded Kyle Tucker right now Taylor tramell is listed as a starting right fielder for the Houston Astros the Dodgers if tasar Hernandez does not return this could play the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to make some changes to their lineup this could play and they could keep castios you could have an outfielder an outfield of casianos Robert and Marsh next year and Roos just plays everywhere he’s your fourth outfielder Robert brings similar defense maybe you could argue better defense but has a higher ceiling when it comes to the bat than roas does Luis Roberts got a move and where he goes will be interesting I love Cincinnati getting out there early I also from a fit standpoint would love Cincinnati because I think Terry Fran cona would do wonders with Luis Robert Luis Robert’s got to get out of Chicago get into a new Clubhouse a new scene new scenery new setting all of that Cincy would be great Philly would be great the Dodgers I mean l literally all of these teams would be great fits for Luis Robert and I could see now he’s got to stay healthy uh if but if he’s healthy I see him getting back to the 2023 version with the with with the with the with the big uh personalities leaders in the club houses that we’re talking about here and also the guys steering the ship uh the the the managers of these teams will all I think be great motivators for Luis Robert we also continue on here four teams in search of an outfield bat the Met Starling Marte Cleveland’s Lane Thomas San Francisco’s Mike gky and the angels Taylor board are to be had I would really like for Cleveland to hold on to Lane Thomas am I the only one am I the only one here that that agrees or has a similar sentiment he was so good for them in the postseason and if we’re we’re trading Naylor we got to hold on to somebody right Who the hell’s going to hit for this team if if you trade Naylor and Thomas one of them this has got to be a a one one of these guys situation I mean as it is they they just got rid of the jenez contract they found ton to bail them out of that so we got to get a now we’re going to now we’re going to send these guys out the door too I I would like Thomas to say the Marte one New York Mets this is a smart move they’re willing to pay down his salary to make a trade happen you’ve got Mike yky who’s in the final year of arbitration you got Taylor Ward Taylor Ward is probably of all of these names the most coveted piece for a team to go and grab let’s talk about some fits here I could see look if we’ve got Cincinnati lined up with Luis Roberts I think we could easily pivot to a Taylor Ward as a potential fit here the Philadelphia Phillies could be a fit I Starling Marte would not be the Monumental um onfield upgrade but his presence in the clubhouse in Philly again it it would be a Phillies and Mets trade so that’s difficult but hey look this stuff happens right uh they have executed trades together before uh Rivals do trade with each other uh the Dodgers the Pirates here the Pittsburgh Pirates to go and Trade for Tyler Ward or Taylor Ward sorry Taylor Ward to the Pirates would be maybe my favorite of all of these possible moves all of these possible trades yky Boston fans I think there’s a part of you that would really appreciate that but there too many Lefty bats in that Red Sox lineup right now to justify bringing yky over you’d probably like Ward Marte would be great in Boston uh Lane Thomas would be great at Boston we got three righty bats here for Boston to go and get if we’re trying to get right-handed heavy but when we think about partnering up with the trade here the pieces that you’re sending Marte is not going to cost that much uh he’s not that much of an upgrade again at this point in the in the clubhouse his presence there will be f greater than it will on the field uh I know these are all these are backhanded compliments to Starling Marte my apologies I will I will send him a apology card later but you have uh three righty bats here that when you’re thinking about teams that could use that Boston is right at the Forefront Mike gky to the Houston Astros get it done it’s easy it’s obvious I mean he’s not Kyle Tucker he’s not close to Kyle Tucker but he’s a lefty bat with a pop he play right field oh uh there are trades to be had here and I’d like to see them let’s let’s get it moving let’s let’s get one of these guys moving here in the next couple of days um not mentioned in this article as we went through all those Nam that were mentioned here’s a bunch that weren’t nothing about Nick casianos nothing about adolis Garcia despite rumors Mets bats batty and mcneel nothing McNeil looks like he wants to kill me right now and there’s no mention of any Orioles no Mount Castle no Mullins no Hason kirad especially after bringing Tyler O’Neal in I find it interesting that Jeff makes no mention of these four players specifically or any of those three Orioles I wouldn’t be surprised if a trade happens and I sure you on the other side of the screen probably agree that if you were to see any of these four or any of those three Orioles moved you wouldn’t be surprised but I’m assuming or I’m guessing here that it’s just there’s not a lot of uh heat to it right now as far as what Jeff is hearing and that’s really the takeaway um is that maybe there’s just nothing going on uh on that front despite rumors that are swirling around right now let’s switch over to the pitchers here uh the cash of arms who could be on the Move includes Dylan CE Jesus lazardo Eric fetty John Gray and Chris Paddock the winner of the Chris Paddock series I think that fan base is going to be really unhappy especially if your sights are Set uh much higher look uh Dylan ceas this is a unfortunate situation for the San Diego Padres to have to go down this road but they’re not going to be able to afford him I get that but don’t you think you have to at least to start the season with Dylan CE snuff out the trade rumors now tell Dylan you’re here forget all the rest of this noise you’re here trade Louis arise for a pitcher uh keep Dylan CE because if this team is going to compete I think you need Dylan CE if you move him You’ve Got King and Darvish and then a bunch of question marks you got to limit the question marks you need more exclamation points than question marks when you’re putting together your rotation um you would be trading an exclamation for a question mark so I I really would like to see San Diego hold on but there’s obviously a ton of teams that could be in play here lardo’s got to go uh there was some criticism that some trade packages are involving players that are years away from ever having a an impact at the major league level that’s what Miami needs right now cuz Miami and winning next year Miami is winning the year after that it’s why I think they should trade Sandy Al Contra uh because the the dollars that you’re paying him are essentially going towards nothing uh uh literally nothing and and sorry when when the the team is 20 games below 500 sy’s not even going to draw a crowd they’re just going to go do something else it’s it’s Miami there’s a million things to do there so they have to make some changes here um if the Cardinals trade fedy man literally waving the White Flag uh and I’d be surprised if John Gray goes because I feel like there’s depth there that the Rangers get with gray but when we think about the potential teams the fits there’s a lot of them Baltimore Boston Toronto Detroit the Angels the Rangers Braves Cubs meds Giants and this is why you have to dangle the names out there because if this is the market if these are the teams that have a fit that have a need you got to throw the pieces out there because you might get a strong return you might generate a bidding war between the Blue Jays Orioles and Red Sox and all of a sudden you’re able to get a top Orioles Prospect back for Dylan CE if that’s how this thing goes but you got to think the Orioles they need the pitching the Boston Red Sox even after crochet need it the Jays are linked to Corbin Burns so if the Jays are trading for pitching I think we’re talking about lazardo or CE out of this group top of the rotation options uh the Detroit Tigers look the cob deal is nice I would like to see the Detroit Tigers at a real significant high level performing piece here to pair with ter scoble the Angels they’re trying to be aggressive the Rangers could use an upgrade interesting we have John Gray here and we have the I have the Rangers on here because the Rangers this is more about not the depth which is what a guy like Paddock might provide you uh the Rangers are here because we’re talking about the ace level stuff the guys that can uh be at the top of the rotation the one the two and that’s where CE and lazardo live Braves maybe AA goes for ceas gets him this off seon the Cubs have been linked to zardo though as of recording there was a report that I just saw an MLB trade rumors that maybe that talk is cooling after 24 hours ago was it Bruce LaVine was it 24 or 48 hours ago saying that that they were close and they were working hard towards a deal obviously Miami must want a lot they may be trying to get a similar package to what the white socks got for crochet which they’re not gonna get it’s just not gonna happen right now there’s not as many years of control wait no no I think we’re we’re right on with the same number of years of control but what we have is Jesus lazardo that is coming off of injury sort of throwing some uh some some doubt into the equation hurting his value uh just a little bit there Mets Mets fans I know you’re frustrated after that Griffin canning signing uh Griffin canning is obviously a long shot uh to be a regular in that rotation if he does end up a regular there it’s because he earned it he’s pitching well otherwise he’s going to be coming out of the bullpen he’ll be uh stepping up with if there’s injury you cannot find yourself in a situation where you don’t have enough pitching look at what the Dodgers are going through seemingly every single year they got like two rotations worth of starting pitchers that are on the iil and the Mets got a taste of some of that last year with the injuries that they dealt with with kodai SGA so you’ve got to you got to have lots of options uh so the Mets could be in play the Giants could certainly be in play as well lot of teams a lot of teams here for specifically losardo and CE but then additionally Paddock Fetti and uh and gray if gray goes I can’t see gray going uh let’s move on to the Luis Castillo portion some of the biggest names bandied about come with complications three time All-Star Luis Castillo has been dangled but SE by Seattle in multiple scenario but wields a no trade clause from some of the stuff I’ve heard I also think one of the complications might be that Seattle is trying to get more back than Luis Castillo is worth and if you’re in the early days of a trade negotiation this is what you got to do right you ask for this up here but in the back of your mind this this right here would be acceptable you’ve got to be careful here uh we there was a Castile for cus trade that’s not going to happen that’s too much value coming your way yes Luis Castillo’s $24 million for a couple the years and considering what other starting pitchers are going for that looks kind of like a bargain but you’re not going to be able to spend him for a position player with just as many or more years of control um at less at far less money so be careful because the other thing is you are for for what you’re looking to get back and who your trade Partners could be you don’t have in my opinion an endless supply a lot of a lot of teams can send you prospects um and and if and that’s that’s not really what you want let’s get the teams up that that could be the fits here so Baltimore Baltimore is a team that lines up where they could send you Ryan Mount Castle that is a piece maybe there’s a hon kirad available here here I think you may have to actually add something to it if you are Seattle to get hon kirad in a deal though hon kirad I hate to use that Expendable word but I mean after the Tyler O’Neal Edition maybe he is uh you’ve got Boston could be in play but the fit this is a trade partner fit uh issue here Tristan Cass or a package issue Boston is is more uh set up to send you prospects than they are major league ready guys well a Bru doesn’t really fit what you’re looking for uh Tristan casus is the value in my opinion is too high for a straightup trade uh the Toronto Blue Jays can you pull off a deal with the Blue Jays I don’t think you would be getting the impactful bats in return the Detroit Tigers same thing they could send you prospects uh the Chicago Cubs at this point they could send you prospects you’re not going to get a big league uh Talent at this point from the Chicago Cubs but the Cubs need the pitching the Mets need the pitching the giant need the pitching can we do is there a Wade and Castillo centered trade I think there could be but some of these trade Partners what we’re looking for is the need from the team Baltimore Boston Toronto Detroit Chicago the Mets the Giants all looking for a starting pitcher of Luis Castillo’s caliber but not all of them can send in return what Seattle’s looking for we have to keep an eye on that next up we’ve got Carlos kareah brought up in this article and there have been some rumors about Carlos kareah but he’s talking about how Carlos C’s name has been banded about but the complication here is the 128 million ode over the last four years of his deal the fits for him nobody literally nobody I looked through all 29 other teams and I didn’t see anybody that either needed a short stop or had the the financial flexibility when you think about the teams that had the biggest payroll reductions year-over-year we’ve got the Mets the Yankees the wh Sox the Giants Boston St Louis Washington Oakland Miami LA and Detroit a lot of those teams have already started investing money a lot of those teams already have a short stop none of those teams that have the most money coming off the books year-over-year have a need for Carlos kareah there’s no trade partner out here for the Minnesota Twins to get rid of kareah and his salary there could be for Byron buckon though I don’t know if twins fans or the twins we even want to go down that road but all of a sudden if you are talking about an outfield player uh and the $15 million that is going to buckton all of a sudden you can put together a trade package AG so if Minnesota gets to a point where they’re trying to shed some salary it’s probably not this guy it might be buckton or is it this guy Pablo Lopez the twins have been listening to Lopez according to passen and if free agent pitching prices remain stratospheric perhaps they’ll go beyond the listening stage if it cost if it is costing too much for Jack flare Corbin Burns any of the other remaining pitchers that are out there Minnesota and Pablo Lopez maybe they become an attractive option similar to the Luis Castillo situation it’s just Lopez is a little bit younger Lopez his salary just took a major bump and this is the problem for the twins last year was 8.2 million this year it’s going to be 21.7 8.2 21.7 it’s not really working for Minnesota and it’s 21.7 for the next three years for Minnesota that’s tough but if youram team like the New York Mets you can do that 3 years 21.7 that fits sort of the the the the mo the the mentality that they’ve been going with with starting pitching three years 21.7 you can do that if you’re the Mets uh that’s I feel like that’s like the very top of the threshold in terms of years uh that they’re willing to to to give out to pitching at this point so there’s definitely some some fits here for the uh for Pablo Lopez uh there’s the Mets the Giants would be a fit the Cubs the Rangers the Angels the blue jads the Red Sox the Orioles it’s a similar cast we remov the Tigers from our last Conversation Piece because it’s a division rival we’ll just remove them because I think they’d be less likely and we’ll add some West teams in teams that we weren’t discussing with Luis Castillo the angels and the Rangers could step up as potential trade partners with the twins think about if you’re the Toronto Blue Jays and you can’t get Corbin Burns to take your money because Corbin Burns is concerned about the future of the team well guess what the Minnesota Twins don’t care at all about the future of the Toronto Blue Jays and while Pablo Lopez mites too bad the package works for us you’re headed north of the border that may be what Toronto has to do if they want to go and get that pitcher Luis Castillo can say no to the Toronto Blue Jays Pablo Lopez to my understanding I don’t believe there is a full trade clause Pablo Lopez I don’t believe that’s a no that would be a no he would be on the move so other names two specifically that appear to be going nowhere from Jeff passon Philly is steadfast in its contention that Alec bow isn’t going anywhere despite all of the rumors and we have a near lock to not be moved is left-hander framber Valdez Houston told opposing Executives they plan to keep him after the Tucker Trade It was kind of Tucker of aldez so that makes all the sense in the world you you trade one of those pieces and if bregman does not take your money and return I think that’s let’s see how the pitching pans out for Houston this year if they need him they may be able to resign him next year I could see it especially if bregman doesn’t take the money and Tucker’s gone maybe they give the money to framber Valdez and the last name brought up in Jeff passon article was Vladimir Guerrero Jr the biggest name missing from the list Toronto Blue Jays Vlad Guerrero Jr the blue jays entered this winner intending to spend and while they won’t spread out the 700 million they were willing to give to stto on a group of lesser players moving Guerrero is a last resort what what have I been saying the Blue Jays just like last year after Otani after stto that money does not exist for everybody else it’s that one player if Toronto struggles Jeff continues and doesn’t foresee resigning Guerrero he’ll become the prize of the July deadline and fire up the official trade rumors right now so we had over the last couple of days Mike Rodriguez uh Carlos bayera and Mike Rodriguez tweeting out that vlat had declined in extension we have not heard that from uh from from anybody uh Jeff pass marosi Rosenthal uh haven’t heard that we had heard from alen Gonzalez that the Blue Jays and vlat were nowhere close on an extension but that’s outside of Hector Gomez Carlos berer and Mike Rodriguez that’s all we’ve heard about vlat and extension talk with the Toronto Blue Jays but again recently we heard that he vlat had declined a uh extension over 340 million Hector Gomez added a timeline to that saying that it was before the Mets signed sto so guys if you stick with me long enough this stuff connects uh was talking about how the Toronto Blue Jays should be trying to extend Vladimir Guerrero Jr as part of their pursuit to ju stto I mean if they’re trying to get an extension done with vlat while they’re doing the sto thing it’s because they’re trying to get stto anyway I’ll move on so this is interesting right the Toronto Blue Jays if we are if we are turning down or if he is turning down in extension that sort of sets the bar at what he will make in free agency cuz it’s at this point it’s too late if you’re the Toronto Blue Chase he’s not going to resign he’s not going to sign an extension he’s not going to do that maybe they can resign him in uh in November December of next year but they are not going to get an extension done the rest of this year and and and through the rest of the spring this going to happen so what Toronto does it will happen rather quickly if we are at the end of May and the Toronto Blue Jays are just hovering around 500 maybe they’re five games below 500 we will be back referencing this line from the Jeff passing piece as we go in full Vladimir Guerrero Jr trade watch teams that could trade for vlat I got four teams that sort of jumped out teams that would probably have to pursue him because they might feel like they would be a long shot to land him uh in the off season so whether you’re trading for him now or you’re trading for him in July if the angels are contending and we are in July sure throw them in there but I would expect Arizona San Francisco in Seattle to be in the mix when we get to July all four teams could trade for him now that’s that’s another thing if you’re Toronto if you do if if he has said no to an extension if you trade him now there’s more there’s more teams that could be in on him and especially if there are some teams feeling the pinch of losing out on wano the the Yankees have moved on but I mean Philadelphia would Philadelphia consider it um Bryce Harper right now the thought is he stays at first base but if you could get vlat would you put vlat would you put Bryce Harper back in the Outfield would you let vlat try to play Third and move Alec bow would Alec bow be the trade back to Toronto a piece that comes back bow is at third base for Toronto vlat is at third base for Philly vlat last year the Blue Jays worked him at third base a little bit that’s where he came up as a third baseman they moved him to first base I’m sure Philly fans right now are cringing at the thought of Vladimir Guerrero Jr playing Third Base um just a thought team that were in the WTO conversation anyway uh Boston would Boston do it Toronto would you do casus for vlat I don’t think well what no I don’t think I don’t think Boston would do that let’s just kill that right there but these teams teams that could be at with a considered a long shot to sign him in free agency could try to strike and grab him now now we have to also mention two teams that are always linked to top players right the Mets and the Dodgers would they at all get involved in a Vladimir Guerrero Jr sweep sticks for the Dodgers we’ll go there first you can’t Freddy Freeman is your first baseman showy Otani has to be your DH so again unless Vladimir Guerrero Jr can play Third Base and you feel confident about that there is really no opening for a Dodgers vlat trade and it’ll also complicate things next winter when your Building Together his free agent Market if you don’t include the Dodgers which is a very reasonable likelihood again just because Freeman’s your first baseman and Otani is your DH if vlat is out here playing third base for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2025 and shows that he can do it then add the Dodgers uh a seat at the table for vlat in the off season or maybe even at the trade deadline the New York Mets the New York Mets in my opinion would be the favorites to sign Vladimir Guerrero Jr in free agency so with that in mind why would you trade for something you can just go sign in a couple of months keep the prospects go sign him next year unless you think that he is the missing piece to a World Series run now in which case I think you have to wait until you get to uh to to July to pull the trigger on this because at that point the asking price maybe comes sound a hair I think the New York Mets sit out the trade sweep stakes and really eye the free agency side of things when it comes to Vladimir Guerrero Jr but the Mets are my favorite to wind up with vlat uh as their first baseman in 2026 that is from Jeff passen the trade market update things have sort of cooled down a little bit but uh it could pick back up uh the snap of a f finger uh at any moment so we’ll keep an eye on all of this leave your comments Down Below on any of the pieces that we covered in this one that is important to you any trade fits that you think maybe I missed on uh that I didn’t think of leave those comments down below that’s it for me everybody we’re over a half an hour I tried to keep it under a half an hour but uh there was a lot to say so uh thank you all for hanging with me for this long and for those of you that made it all the way to the end you know the deal I salute you does amazing things for the algorithm so thank you guys for making it to the last few seconds here all right guys I am out of here make sure to hit the like on the way out and remember if it’s low let it go if it’s High Let It Fly I’ll catch you next time
