So they've gone out and they've done what they've done and they've signed a lot of really good players and they have a lot of money in the books, obviously.

And I think it just shows that, you know,

It takes that level of commitment to players from a monetary standpoint to fill your clubhouse with talent.

But at the same time, we have a lot of talent in this clubhouse, too.

And it's important to understand that the clubhouse is sacred as it is.

You have to protect it.

So regardless of how much money is in it or not, at the end of the day, we've got to go out there and win.

So I'm excited.

It's a great test at all times.

And yeah, I've never been in this division, obviously, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.

Yeah, I don't know.

I think, yeah, I just really enjoy the buildup, the anticipation.

I enjoy doing the small little things that kind of prepare you for a season.

Yeah, it's my 10th spring training.

So I think the biggest change, I guess, is kind of like my timeline.

I've always done a really good job of being ready for day one of spring training and just realizing how long the season is and really kind of shaving off the stuff that I don't necessarily need to do.

I'm on a daily basis to prepare.

I think from then to now, I'm doing a lot more focused and intentional work that gets me ready to go out there and be the best player.

Whereas when I was younger, man, I was in there at 6 a.m.

before the sun was up and trying to get in before, you know, older guys were there and the culture changed a little bit.
