But for a front office, for the decision makers,

to go through this is i'm fascinated to get your perspective of this because there is a discipline there is rotting out the market we are i think every year it gets more and more uncharted territory when it comes to patience i think this year even more than last year but you lived that life i think jd right right right perfect example we finished him till february or something right

And so you think, and maybe you can offer insight to this, but you think that you're like, okay, we're pretty sure we know what this market is.

And we're willing to wait this out.

It must be a really, really hard thing for a front office to gauge and do.

It's really hard.

Did you, were you pretty confident that, I don't even remember whatever teams might have been involved, but were you pretty confident?

Hey, listen, and I don't know what Scott was, Scott Boris was talking about, but what do you remember about the competition for JD Martinez?

And also it's a great point by you because you landed, I remember the press conference at spring training.

Okay.

If you don't get him, that looks like a totally different team.

It just does.

So what do you remember about that?

It worked out pretty well.

It's just amazing to think about what that wouldn't be like.

And it's funny you said that about Dave.

I always thought that because I would imagine that that, without looking into it, that was the longest Dave Dombrowski has ever awaited

in... We'll see if they end up signing Bichette.

The last thing is one of the more interesting teams of how they're approaching things is the old team, the Mets.

And so...
