Is that all?

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

And I think the other part of this is we knew when he was promoted from AA to AAA that it was only a matter of time before we would see him this season.

I did not think it was going to happen on this June the 9th against the absolute hardest part of their schedule when you consider Braves, Dodgers, Yankees, take your pick.

I...

I think that the Sox think that they want to put the word out there.

What else do you call this if not that?

Yeah, when you're talking about back-to-back series against the two teams with the best run differential far and away in all of baseball, the Braves and Dodgers, cool.

But that's it.

That shows you how they feel about this season for them.

I'm like, hey, if the calendar hits July, cool.

My expectations are keep doing what you're doing, keep working your ABs if you're a guy like, for example, Tristan Peters, Colson Montgomery, that type of thing.

I have no massive expectations.

Well, somebody's got expectations calling him up at this time and throwing him into the fieriest of fires.

Here's the... Not to be confused with Mike Fires.

I mean, that seems to be the goal, right?

And then for everybody asking, could the Sox be buyers at the trade deadline?

Well, they're already going to promote their own players, which is like getting prospects or like making a roster move.

It is, but like getting some sort of free agency move or a trade.

So this is as important when you can call up your own players, when you can get your own guys back from injury, for example, that's the real riches, the riches.
