Like, Daniel Palencia has been up and down for us a lot the last couple years, and for him to come in and just really secure a big spot.

So, yeah, I mean, like, the team we came in to spring with and where we ended, our bullpen was, like, such a cool group of dudes and so low maintenance.

Colin Ray, who is coming back, like,

Pitching out of the pen, starting games, didn't matter.

Like, the most low-maintenance teammate I've ever had.

But, yeah, we need to fill the bullpen.

And I know they've been pretty vocal about trying to upgrade the starting rotation a bit.

But I think it's really exciting that we return such a good position player group.

You look around the field and pretty much every spot's spoken for.

And that's great because we've got some really great offensive players and exciting people and people that fans here in Chicago should feel good about buying their jersey and stuff.

So yeah, maybe add a starting pitcher, beef up the bullpen a little bit.

And our pitching crew does such a great job of identifying who they want and what traits they want that I trust that'll all come together.

Pomerantz came out of a game right after we got him.

We got him in just an upward mobility clause in his contract from Seattle.

One of his first games back, he's standing on the bench, standing on the rail, coming out of an inning.

Yeah.

he's just kind of reflecting and I was just, I'd happened to be next to him.

And he's just like, man, like, don't take this for granted.

Like I was out of baseball.

Like I've been hurt.
