I love talking to him.

Again, great personality.

We like personalities.

All right, we're going to go back-to-back here, and that is with Steven Matz and Nick Martinez.

As we said before, the theme is these guys just joined the Rays, and now we're going to find out exactly how the Rays view them, what they say they should do, and then when they do it, boom, boom.

There it is, the secret sauce.

And, of course, as I say that, as you're going to hear, usually that's just throwing your best pitch in the first pitch strike.

That's it.

But still, I want to hear their journey, their off-seasons, their thoughts, their dreams, their free agencies, their evolutions, all of it.

All right, so I appreciate everybody.

First up is going to be Steven Matz.

And then, then, then, then, our good friend Nick Martinez.

There's no human being on the planet I'd rather be talking to more than Steven Matz right now, so I appreciate it.

How are you?

I'm doing great.

Glad to be in spring training, baseball getting fired back up.

Yeah, let's go.

Let's go for baseball.

Take me a little bit through sort of your offseason, if you can, about how that shook out.

And, you know, every offseason's different.
