in my career, we ended up signing a player directly.
You know, he kind of agreed to that deal with us.
Uh, the agent was upset.
Obviously we ended up ironing out that deal.
Um, you know, Ryan Glykowski and I ironed out that deal the next day.
Um, and it's funny because I always think about like, certainly that is not how you sign players.

But if we're honest, like, I think David, I think that was a fairly good life decision for David.
You know, playing here for two years, winning a World Series, ends up on Dancing with the Stars.
The Cubs have certainly, I think it was any money he might have left on the table in our contract, I think he's made up for by now.
No, I haven't heard the exact way they tell the story, but it was a fun night.
I think that we were in great spirits.
I think we were so excited to add John to the mix.
I mean, I think we forget...
It's not easy to sign that kind of free agent when you just won 74 games.
You know, we were...
elated that he was you know coming our direction um we had a really fun night obviously dio and i knew john so well from our boston days so um and we know his agents incredibly well so i don't know exactly how he told the story but in my recollection it was a super fun night we had rossi on the phone a bunch of different times uh that night from from pub city and uh
My recollection was getting yelled at by the agent the next morning.
I'm sure that's accurate.
It's a lot of people have very fuzzy recollection, both time and beers that night.
