So he was going to come in, and if he had to play part-time, he was okay with that and was going to be a great teammate.

Obviously, a guy like Mauricio Dubon plays all over the place.

the value there at Jorge Mateo, same thing.

And that was a point of emphasis because if it happens once, once you say, well, it's just, it's just a one-off.

Two years in a row, a lot of position players start going down.

We want it to be deep.

So I don't know where we're going to end up at the end of the year.

I expect us to be competitive, to be good.

You know, look, the expectation here is to make the postseason every single year.

And we got spoiled.

And we did it for my first seven years here.

We didn't get it done in the eighth.

But, you know, hopefully we'll be back on track in year nine and get back to the playoffs.

No doubt.

I've actually brought it up here.

Not a lot of people probably in Atlanta or Georgia are familiar with Aaron Sanchez, but he's a great example, right?

We brought him up.

He got his feet wet.

I was gone after, but the next year he led the league in ERA, I'm pretty sure.

And he did great before getting hurt.
