Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring.

Here's your host, Rob Radford.

Congrats.

Thank you.

You said a couple of weeks ago you'd like to retire brave.

Did you have any clue that this was in the works at the time or did it kind of materialize after that?

AAV-wise, this is the biggest number Alex has given.

Just what does that mean to you as far as how he values you?

Nice to know.

I'm sure you got a nice response in the clubhouse from guys or as they learn, they'll congratulate you.

But knowing that you're going to be with that group and some of these young pitchers to help them continue to develop.

How comforting is it to have a deal just knowing we don't know how things are going to look next year?

Now let's go back to when you got drafted.

How nice is it to know that at 37 years old, you know, you still have the ability to draw these kind of contracts?

You watched Randy Johnson pitch into his later years, and you always wanted to be like him.

Does it kind of make it even more proud that you're doing this?

Yeah, there should be some passion.

This doesn't have to be boring, boring, boring.

It's Mookie Betts.

It's Daniel Bard.
