And I think players that value those things as well gravitate towards it.

Just that we agreed to put that on hold during the postseason run, just in light of not wanting it to be a distraction.

But the same things I've said in the past, there's a desire for me to remain here, a desire from Tony and Edward to keep me here.

So I think we'll likely work something out soon.

Gregor?

Mark, I think everyone would agree this is the special group that you guys had this year.

Yeah, I mean, I think I'll answer that maybe universally, but it's a better question for Ross when he's up here in a half hour.

You know, I think you're always...

As you go into an off-season review, you understand that there were some performances that were aberrations maybe, you know, on a good side, some that are where you expect some regression.

But you never go into a planning cycle, which is what Ross is leading our group through right now in the process of leading our group through, without some understanding that you just can't recreate something identical.

You know, you've got to build off of what happened, you know, which is a positive.

Use that as a platform, but know that you have to plan to be better because it won't work exactly the same way next year as it worked this year.

Yeah, I mean, I think that's yet to be determined.

You know, I think that starts with the work that Ross is leading our group through now, which is kind of understanding what potential roster building looks like and where the alternatives lie.

What I think is clear is that, you know, we've had an unprecedented level of support and I don't see that support going backwards at all.

Yeah, I think my comments on Bo are more just appreciation for what he's meant here.

It's more appropriate for Ross to comment on what he'll mean going forward.

As I reflected on his...

ability and toughness and desire to be on the field and the condition he was in during the postseason and his ability to still provide some of the most important lift, you know, in the World Series.

But that was only, you know, the explanation point on what's been an unbelievable career here and the fact I can remember him.
