What exactly that's going to look like is probably going to have to wait until we watch the rest of the offseason unfold.

But certainly his ability to play corner outfield is a help.

We may ask Jeff to play some first base, depending on how the the offseason pans out.

I talked to Jeff.

So I think when you're in the moment in going through a playoff push, you're you're focused on the day to day.

You're focused on trying to do everything you can to win that day.

And there's there's offseason preparation going on.

But there's probably not that time for for real reflection.

on how the team is performing at that moment.

So I think once we got into the off season and had the time to fully reflect on our team is when I became convinced that we weren't just going to run it back, that we were going to make some changes.

You're never sure which changes are actually going to occur, which changes are actually going to be possible.

And that's still the case as we move forward.

I don't know what the next transaction is right now, but I know we're going to keep going in the offseason.

I'm very confident we're going to have a productive offseason.

But we clearly we've got Juan.

We're very excited.
