Host (Bradfo)

And also with everything else when it comes to baseball.

So now I talk to Chris about the –

The journey that he had last year with the Blue Jays.

So I made mention of something he said to me in the playoffs in Toronto about how really, unless you make it to the ultimate, which is the World Series, sort of a sad trombone.

And you don't know exactly what you have until you have it.

You don't know exactly how this journey, how impactful it is.

till you go through it.

You don't know exactly what makes it work until you go through it.

Well, he answers all these questions.

It's just really good to talk to Chris.

And immediately after Chris, I'm going to talk to Zach Eflin, another guy who's making this Baltimore clubhouse really, really, really interesting and solid and also a good roster, by the way.

But first, okay, before we get to Zach, here is my one-on-one with Chris Best, my latest one-on-one with Chris Best.

there's no human being i'd rather be talking to more than chris bassett once again appreciate it i remember talking to you at the postseason and one of the things that stuck with me through watching throughout the whole thing was that listen unless you get to where you at the end it's going to feel hollow um having gone through it how does it feel like how did that the process feel compared to what you thought it would be like um but

What did you learn, this is a cliche question, but what did you learn having gone through that?

Um, more obviously more now than ever.

Maybe a little weird question, but when it ends, you go into off-season, you're a free agent.

Looking at teams, did that change how maybe you thought you would look at teams a year before?

Does that make sense?

Having seen what it takes, what type of team can do that, you say, okay, this is the type of team that can do that, sign me up.

When did you realize all the things that you said with the Blue Jays last year?
