Well, you find out either that day or the next day, right, David? I remember it's really, really fast.

I remember I was obviously in Florida the next day and my agent called me before I actually went into spring training. And he was like, great news. We won, blah, blah, blah. And I'll never forget it because I remember thinking now, wow, I'm a multimillionaire now. I just got four and a half million dollars. I can tell people I'm a multimillionaire. So that was kind of my thought process behind it.

So, yeah, by the time you get back to spring training the next day, you already know that you won and, you know, when you win, it's nice because you can walk around the clubhouse and be like, ah, I just kicked their ass. Yeah, we won. We won. You know, so it's kind of a... And then, you know, you see the front office in the clubhouse the next day and you walk by like, what's up, guys?

It hurts the Yankees and it hurts the other teams too because then the other teams have to negotiate on the behalf of the Yankees. And like, well, the Yankees are just handing money out. Then for the teams like the Marlins, they're trying to save every penny they possibly can. So it creates this kind of distance between teams too.

Well, you get coached up on it by your agents to, you know, how to act, what to do, what not to do. And, you know, you're just super polite when you walk in the room. I don't remember if we shook hands before. We shook hands. I knew we shook hands after with the arbiters. But I remember just, like, you know, trying to give them that, like, you know, cute little smile that I have.

Like, you know, maybe a couple.

I think for me, the reason why there was no sort of animosity or hate, I think obviously I have to give a ton of credit to Dave, even though I don't like to. I'm going to give him a ton of credit. He was so good about coming back on the team plane, hanging out with us, playing poker, having a couple drinks with us on the back of the plane, talking shit, just so much fun just to be around.

And then when it came time to do business, he was completely honest with us, whether we were good or bad. And that is exactly what you want as a player. You don't ever really get that. You don't get the personal, usually, and you don't get the honesty, secondly. And that's what... Made him so amazing.
