Pete Alonso

Because there was that deadline.

It's hard because –

There are certain personalities that people will point at as being negative in one clubhouse, but they're in another clubhouse.

It could be well-received.

I think of Tommy Canely as a rookie in Colorado.

It was disruptive, and people weren't a fan of how he blended in.

But then when I went to the Yankees, which is a much more, you would think, more corporate environment, he was completely embraced and loved and a part of the fabric of it.

So it's like...

You know, there's a little bit of alchemy here, you know, to try to make it work.

But you've got to get to know your guys.

I mean, yeah, it's a little bit tricky when you're signing them and you do as much background information as you can.

You go and try to talk to them and all this and that.

But, again, you don't have to be the nicest guy in the world to be a great baseball player, you know, at all, and to help winning.

And I've heard people tell me, you know what a great teammate is?

A great teammate is 300 with 35 home runs and 130 RBIs.

Yeah.

But that being said, by the way, there's no excuse.

You know, but that, all that being said, there's no excuse to not understand your, your clubhouse dynamic as it currently exists.

And then to be able to realize when it's,

headed in a bad direction for one reason or another.
