So it seemed like a good time for us to catch him on the red carpet.

As he gets ready to go into the MLB Awards, before he got there, he was nice enough to stop, answer some questions about how he feels about things, how he feels, what's true, what's not, his approach.

Again, it's going to come no surprise.

Business as usual.

Don't believe everything you hear.

That sort of thing.

But, hey, it's good to talk to Tarek.

Remember, we've had Tarek Khan before, Bobby Dahlbeck teaching him a changeup, and at the end of this, we make it clear, Bobby Dahlbeck is obviously very happy for the guy he taught a changeup to.

So, here you go.

Other than this, have you settled in?

Does it feel like a normal offseason?

Obviously, like you said, you're good at getting rid of the noise.

I mean, a couple of years ago you had to do the same thing in the All-Star game, an All-Star break.

But now you're just settling in.

Like, does it feel like what I'm doing?

Yeah.

Get out of here.

Bobby Dahlbach's proud of you.

Oh, yeah, okay.

All right, a guy who's not necessarily as newsworthy, really not a guy in top of the list in terms of free agent talk, but he is a free agent, and that's Dustin May, a guy he was traded from the Dodgers to the Red Sox.
