That is a great question.

I think it's going to give some scary insight into my brain.

But, you know, people have said, oh, it must be easier with all the resources.

You know, when I was with the Rays, when I was now with the Dodgers, the day-to-day is no different.

Whatever you're given –

Whatever rules you're operating in, whatever payroll budget you have,

the players you have and trying to do everything you can to make them the best versions of themselves, all of that is the exact same.

And winning and winning the last game of the season, you know, just to give you some insight, my first year as GM was 2006.

With the Devil Rays, knew we were terrible.

We finished with the worst record in baseball.

And at the end of that year, Terry Ryan, the longtime GM of the Minnesota Twins, steps down.

And he said, you know, I had just gotten to a point where the losses were killing me and the wins weren't really gratifying.

They weren't as fulfilling.

And I was like, man, I am in trouble.

This is my first year.

I knew we were going to lose 100 games, and I'm already there.

I mean, so much of it falls out of what's going on.

So, I mean, I've gotten good at enjoying after the 24 World Series.

I mean, I'd say, look, every step along the way, when we...

win the division or clinch a playoff spot, we have fun that night.
