Nick Testoni, WBL Radio.

Right here.

This is for you, Pete.

I think it was well documented that you really loved being a New York Met.

Was there a conversation or maybe something in negotiations that you started to really see yourself as a Baltimore Oriole?

Yeah, I mean, for sure.

I think as, like, the free agent process, like, once you...

I mean, once once that kind of starts, you really kind of don't know what's going to happen.

It's kind of like this weird baseball limbo.

But then as you start to sit down and really kind of think about things, you kind of have some time to really reflect.

But then honestly, like as the offseason progressed and.

Realistically, I mean, as we got further along, this partnership has, for me, it just, it was just head and shoulders above everybody else.

Like this park, this city, this team, this organization, everything combined, it just, everything just clicked.

It just, and for me, I think that was absolutely, it was the perfect fit for, not just as a player, but as a, for,

for family life too.

I mean, this is, I mean, there's, I could go up and down a laundry list of things where it's like, there's just so many boxes, like every single box this place checks.

And for us, we're just so pleased.

And for, for this organization to see, see me, um, not just in the now, but in the future, I mean, such a, it's such a blessing and I, I can't wait to play.

Can't wait to perform.

I can't wait to win games.
