"Showing interest" is light years from actually being serious about signing one of them. I'm interested in hitting the lottery, or having Katy Perry show up at my front door...that doesn't mean that it's gonna happen.
Defense? We don't give a **** about defense. We'll just hit the crap outta the ball and score more runs...uh, we've got a great pitching staff and we'll shut the other teams down...uh, our pen is awesome and...oh hell, we're toast.
