So I think we do have options, and we'll continue to explore what might be available from outside the organization as well.

Yeah, I think we're going to do what's best for the organization and our 2026 Major League team, and also what's best for Christian.

And if those overlap, then that's the ideal outcome.

And when they don't, we'll have to figure out how we want to prioritize things.

Yeah, we think that Andrew is an above-average defender at multiple positions.

He's played second base, he's played third base, he's played shortstop.

Also, as a right-handed hitter, he's had some success against lefties in the KOPS over 800 against lefties last year.

And so, again, giving us another option who can play the infield and be in a lineup against left-handed pitching is great.

It's something that is important for us, you know, and he's kind of served that role very, very well in a couple of seasons with the Brewers, you know, and bringing in really good players and having them compete for roster spots and compete for playing time, I think, is the sign of a good team.

Yeah.

So, you know, again, a guy that has has moved around a little bit, I think can play second base, can play third base as a left handed bat, can hit right handed pitching and is coming off a really good season in AAA.

You know, I think he maybe hasn't gotten an extended look in the big leagues and a chance to show just how talented he is.

But if you look at the pedigree and you look at the season that he just had, it's pretty easy to get excited about him.

Sure.

I can appreciate the question.

It's also really difficult to answer before we get going because the way that a pitcher left at the end of the regular season last year might be quite different than how they show up.

Everybody's got development goals and we need to see how those have progressed before making those types of decisions.

We've got to evaluate health and figure out who the five guys are that we're going to put in the rotation to start the season.

I think there are a number of candidates, but until we've had a chance to really evaluate things, I don't want to speak and get too far ahead of ourselves.

Recognizing that tomorrow's the official report date for pitchers and catchers, do you expect any delays from anybody or any injuries that maybe have cropped up since we last talked to you that you're aware of or needing to navigate?
