I signed the first contract the White Sox offered me, signed the first contract the Red Sox offered me, got traded here, and it felt like three hours later got offered a contract, and then here we are now.

So I guess I'm just not good at turning stuff down.

It took a lot of work, obviously, from a lot of different people, and I'm thankful for that.

If you'd have told me when I was 21 years old and just got started that this was kind of how it was all going to play out, this is what I dreamed of doing, but you kind of think it would be crazy at the time.

But I'm just very thankful for all the people that got me here.

I know that a lot of people think that this is just something that I was able to do, and I'm the one out there pitching and all that stuff.

There's so many people, so many hands, a lot of voices, and just a lot of people I leaned on to get to this point.

I'm just very, very thankful for them.

Yeah, I think another name comes to mind, too.

Travis texted me this morning.

He's like, you're on the Charlie Morton train already, aren't you?

Yeah.

You know, obviously being, you know, in the same sentence as Randy Johnson is an honor, but, you know, Chuck's as close to that as you can get, and I definitely appreciate that.

So this clubhouse needs a resident old guy, and I'm willing.

I'd like to be that guy for a while.

All right.

All right.

Thanks.
