I think it is fun when, when both teams are, are competitive and, uh, you know, those were good games.

I thought, you know, Sunday, you know, we got kind of a blowout either way on Friday and Saturday and then a great game on, uh, on Sunday.

So now it was good.

It was good theater and it's a good sort of city to have two good teams.

Well, it was a funny night because we were all at Bub City and after signing John, and John was adamant that Ross would be his personal catcher, and we threw some other ideas at him.

He shot those down quickly, and we had a rebuilding team that had given a guy $155 million to sort of put us to the next level, and so...

we're probably a little bit more willing to, uh, listen to John on this than, uh, than most.

And obviously John has his, has throwing issues.

So feeling comfortable with his catcher was, was that much more important.

So, yeah, we ended up, um, you know, be on the phone directly with, uh, with David that night.

And, um, we got the deal done and I do remember the part of the story I remember for myself as I got to the office the next day.

Um, and, uh,

you know, David agent was, was not happy.

Um, he called me and he's a canal.

He was really upset that we had, um, called David late.

And he kept on saying, you know, we, we didn't have a deal.

He has a deal with, you know, he's where he's going to go to the Padres.

I think we have a deal with him, you know, and it was, uh, definitely not, um, you know, that way you, you do business.

I've never done something like that.

And, uh,
