Jerry Coleman with the Bay, 100.7.

To answer your question, we don't have particular constraints.

We're going to try to get the best players we can.

Mike is leading that effort and has already talked about a number of possibilities with us.

But I want to just talk about our new manager.

Mike interviewed a number of people, so did I. And from the beginning, when we were talking to people, people said, well, this person you're interviewing is good, but if you can get Craig, you'll really be fortunate.

Everybody kept saying, he's the guy you should get.

You may not be lucky enough to get him, but if you can get him, that's the guy you want.

So when we talked to him, we realized why everybody said that.

He's very impressive.

Despite his accent, we think he can learn how to speak Baltimoreese.

And we also thought he had, by far, the cutest two-year-old daughter in Major League Baseball.

And she's here, and the star of the show.

And great sons as well.

So we're really excited to have him here.

If you read about his background, he's been a leader everywhere he's ever been.

People always say he's a take-charge person who has made every organization he's been at better because he was there.

So we were thrilled when he agreed to accept the offer, and we're looking forward to many, many years with him and us.

We are now gonna spend a lot of time seeing what is out there and what other players we can bring to the team and strengthen the team.

Last year we had a lot of injuries.
