Aaron Judge

And I spoke to you in the shadow of this 11th century castle.

And you had just learned a bit of history about the building, which I don't know if you'll remember, but you had just learned some of the features of the building, including that just above you were the oldest toilets in London.

Oh, it was, it was brutal.

You know, I'm like, I see a lot of free agents out there.

I see a lot of guys that, you know, like the, the Bellingers, the Grishams, the Goldschmidt's like, yeah, let's sign these guys right now.

And they started adding more pieces, you know, cause I'm seeing other teams around the league get better.

They're making trades, they're signing big prospects or big players.

And, you know, we kind of, we're sitting there for a while, you know, kind of making smaller moves, but, um,

You know, it was tough there in the beginning, but I think once we solidified getting Bellinger back, you know, we got Trent being our center fielder, be our leadoff guy for another year.

Then you had a guy like Goldie, some of the back end, you know, bullpen pieces that we've been doing.

I think we're being a good spot, but early on it was pretty tough to watch.

I'm like, man, we're the New York Yankees.

You know, let's go out there and get the right people, get the right pieces to go out there.

and finish this thing off because we've got a special group of players here.

We've got a good core, a good young core.

So, yeah, it was frustrating, but I think we're right where we need to be.

I love those polls.

It's beyond.

It was brutal.

I see a lot of free agents out there.
