As I’ve said before, especially lately — I don’t even know what lately is — the last number of years, the trade deadline has become such a rental market. A lot of times, people don’t have a lot of space and all the rest. This year, we’ve got some space. But you certainly have to take stock of where your team’s at."
If you have a subscription I strongly suggest reading the entire, albeit brief, interview. The tone is interesting but I may be reading too much into it. Especially the portion related to his own contract.

I read that and think he's adding.
He'll add someone who will stay with the team though, not a rental.
