They want to see you win.

And I feel like when we win, we win together as like,

the X amount of thousand that are in the crowd.

And then also the 26 on the field, the coaching staff, the head office, like we all went together, which is so cool.

And I feel like it's very rare to have that around the league.

But this fan base is absolutely incredible.

I have nothing but great things to say about them.

Nothing but love for them.

I cherish my shoes and I think a lot of people know that but towards the end of the year I started to give like my shoes away to like these little kids just to like see them smile and make them happy and you know I hope they appreciate it I think they did and I just I want to continue to make them smile whether it's with my gameplay whether it's a little gestures of signing autographs giving away some some apparel

But they are, they are our heartbeat, really.

And I love playing for them and, you know, playing with them on the field.

They're really with us on the field.

The energy they bring, it helps us, you know, create runs, create kind of chaos on the base path.

When you strike a guy out, this whole place is rocking.

It is just unbelievable.

Josh, as you mentioned, being traded midseason can be a little bit hectic.

Why do you think it clicked off as fast as it did for you to kind of settle in here and have it go the way it did down the stretch?

Because it can be kind of a big deal for you to kind of have it go this well, this good to make it to where you're looking so eagerly to come back here and everything.

I think the trust aspect from getting traded, knowing this team wanted me.

They needed me to help them win.
