I mean, obviously, everyone was just looking to get out in 2012.
Yeah.
And you, by the way, I think maybe it was the last time you were on the podcast.
I don't know.
It was after the Houston no-hitter.
You told this great story about how you –
Carl Crawford didn't want to go because he had to pay the taxes.
No, he wanted to go.
He wanted to go, and I had a no-trade clause.
Oh, he said he would pay your taxes, right?
Yeah, because I just we were just playing a joke.
I mean, I had already told Ben Sherrington that we were good.
But I said, hey, let me just let me play this little joke.
It was me, Adrian Gonzalez, playing a little joke on Carl because Carl's like, man, let's get up out of here.
And I'm like, I don't know, man, the taxes.
He goes, I'll pay your taxes.
So I sat down with Ben earlier this season, and one of the other stories he had from that was they had to literally get Carl off the operating table.
He had just had Tommy John.
They had to wait for him to come out of anesthesia.
Oh gosh.
