And frankly, what every Major League Baseball team that's out here investing in its team is trying to do.

And that's win it all.

Not just go to the playoffs, but win it all.

But the tone of Alex Bregman in his even introductory press conference was very different than the first time we heard from Ryan Presley, the first time we heard from Kyle Tucker.

Frankly, it reminded me a little bit, but it went over the top.

Because I remember when Dansby Swanson was brought in as a free agent with the Cubs.

This was more similar to that, but still dissimilar in that Alex Bregman was letting you know from jump, I am here to elevate every single player around me.

I'm not just here to play third base and get at bats and try to put up a five-plus war.

No, no, no.

We have to make sure everybody on this team gets better than they were last year.

It's kind of crazy that he not only requests all the information, he takes it in.

But then, according to Bruce and others, when he gets to spring training, he immediately starts applying it to individuals and letting them know, here are your tells.

Here's what I am seeing.

How can I help you?

What do you need?

It's going to be interesting to see how he infiltrates is the wrong word.

I don't feel like he's assimilating to the Cubs.

I feel like the Cubs are assimilating to him.

I guess.

Oh, I wish I remembered what it was.
