So I think it's gonna be business as usual.

You will see those bullpen games because you're

trying to still piece some stuff together.

You've got two back from over a year off of work.

So why put them in a bad spot again when you're looking at 2026 being right around the corner.

But it just feels like a little more return to normalcy here.

Um, you know, I I think it was a little bit just because you got into a habit of not wanting to categorize what was going to occur.

It was very clear that this is not an anthopolis-style situation where everybody was coming up and immediately getting extended.

But for Basayo, I would also insert the fact that it's not, you know, a lot of people go, Well, what does this mean for Adley?

Samuel is not Adley.

He's looking at a pretty even split of DH first base.

and catcher rather than being a primary at one set position.

And so I think when you target that flexibility overall.

And and I have to say this too, knowing how impactful that contract is for the Basal family.

He's got a brother who's also an affiliated ball at a lower level.

And that's going to make his life a lot easier.

He's setting his brother up for success because now he has the access to resources to advance him as an athlete.

We know it's not easy before you make it to the big leagues.

Um, and so I think that was definitely a you know motivator for him.

This is life-changing.
