Alex Anthopoulos

Anytime you'd always like to have that.

So once we got word that, you know, there was a world that we could acquire him, start doing the work on the background, the makeup.

I mean...

We've probably touched base with the Astros, you know, various forums a little bit last summer.

We checked in a little bit and then early in the off season and today it came together.

So, but yeah, he's just a really good, good fit.

And, you know, we were, he was a good fit for all the reasons, his ability on the field, but also what he brings to the team and the clubhouse and his experiences.

Right.

Um, so yeah, it's, it leaves our options open because like you said, he can fit in anywhere and look, you'd like to believe everyone's going to play one 62.

It's other than Matt Olson.

You can't count on anyone doing that.

Um, and that's not a knock.

It's more of a credit to Matt Olson, whatever, seven or 800 games in a row.

So, um,

And the fact that he protects us, so it just gives us, the optionality is through the roof.

But, you know, we'll just see.

And that's, it just, it doesn't close any doors for us, which I think is probably the most important thing.

It allows us to, you know, we like him.

We like the bat, the ball.

We like the energy he brings.
