One, are you surprised by the move?

And secondly, I'm wondering what John's reaction to us was pretty straightforward, pretty matter of fact.

I'm wondering if maybe he went in a little deeper with you guys in terms of the decision to DFA Heinemann.

I'm wondering if there's a – we talked about sort of trying to –

trying to figure out how you're going to balance playing time for Brandon Valenzuela with, you know, with Alejandro Kirk and the demands.

And we're trying to figure out how you might – how the Jays may go about doing this.

And I guess – I mean, it seems to me that there's just –

There's a whole bunch of things at work here, right?

As John said, it's not just those two players.

There's George Springer.

At some point, you hope Addison Barger is going to come back, although shy.

I mean, he's not even swinging the bat in anger yet, so I don't know when you expect Addison Barger back.

But I do get the sense that it's not that there are more moves to come, but I think we're going to see the lineup and we're going to see some players' playing time handled a little differently as a result of Brandon Valenzuela.

from our conversation with John, it's pretty clear, Shai, that the organization, that before they brought Max Scherzer in in spring training, there was at least some sort of talk with Max about, look, what

if this doesn't work out, what is the, I'm calling it the exit ramp, the off ramp, whatever you want to call it.

What does this look like?

And John said, you know, we've had that conversation.

He said, as a matter of fact, I kind of, Max being Max, we have that conversation every day.

What does Max have to do to keep his turn in the rotation?

Is it just simply his next start, he's got to go out and perform.
