Both more, obviously, with what he's done in AAA.

But with Seabold could be one, but definitely could be multiple innings going forward.

I think, you know, we really liked the swing and miss.

There was a lot of swing and miss in spring training.

And a guy that it was a tough decision to, you know, not carry him when we broke camp.

And then just like what we saw, really, with the stuff and kind of how he was developing.

not developing, but kind of leaning into some of the things we talked about.

So I had the opportunity to get him and figured it made a lot of sense.

Yeah, that was kind of one of them.

And I know that his contract, I think, included an out.

Yeah, he was definitely part of the conversation.

I mean, he was kind of, we'll see, you know, but I think just, you know, not being 100%, you know what I mean, and not wanting to play short, not wanting to, you know, we got a lot of guys banged up, not wanting to have guys, you know, kind of as an emergency only.

So I think just kind of get that calmed down.

There's some other stuff he's grinding through, too, and get a healthy body in here.

Yeah.

I mean, he put together a really good start to the year offensively and, you know, the versatility and the corners and, you know, starting to play some second base.

I think that's all you're asking guys to do with AAA is to kind of force your hand a little bit.

He definitely did that.

And then matter of circumstance with kind of how we are physically made sense to get him here.

Just a shift in approach and kind of really focusing on some breaking balls, especially from right-handed pitchers, kind of going away from them and trying to get those things started a little bit closer to them, something that he did in the offseason, something that he worked on a lot in spring training and has carried it over to the season.
