Experience is super helpful.

So every year I kind of try to grow, you know, 1% better than I was the year before.

I try to learn from my failures and try to capitalize on my successes.

But going into free agency, I think this year was different than many or all the years I've had so far.

I just I told myself I just want to play hard.

I wanted to have fun every single day, leave it out on the field, be the best team that I could.

And I did that every year, but I wanted to emphasize it more this year.

And, you know, God willing, find a home.

And this was the home I found, which is I'm super happy about.

And

Can't wait for opening day.

I wish spring training started tomorrow, to be honest, to see the guys again and the fans.

Yeah, I think experience has taught me a lot.

They taught me how to be a little bit more mature, taught me how to handle pressure a little bit better in big game scenarios, taught me how to kind of keep my heart rate down.

So, yeah.

Josh, you talked about just the importance to you in winning and wanting to run it back.

You know, when you look at this team, you know, you, Julio and Cal are under team control for really the rest of the decade.

The starting rotation is coming back.

Just how exciting is it to not only, like you said, find a home, but know that looking at this roster, this window for this team to win and be competitive is really wide open at this point.

Yeah, it's awesome.
