Now, sure.

So ownership might come to you and have, you know, they're going to tell you what payroll is and things like that.

And they might tell you, look, we're a little bit concerned with this or that or the other thing.

But generally speaking, I think when you have too many layers, in my experience, I don't think it works well.

So

I'm big on the reporting structure.

I'm that way with this organization here.

I'm very clear.

People have clear lines, clear roof.

I don't like overlap.

I think, look, we all collaborate, right?

You ask someone's opinion, you're collaborating, right?

No one makes trades decisions, moving guys up and down without collaborating.

So I think collaborating is the most BS word in sports.

Everyone ends up throwing it around all over the place.

And I think it's an excuse in my opinion to,

to not take accountability and no one take accountability for what's going on.

So the manager of a team each night, he's collaborating.

He's got all this.

He's got the bullpen coach, the catching coach, the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the bench coach.
