Oh, wow.

All right.

Well, we're going to get you a Pirates-colored baseball and boring T-shirt and other gear because you are a member of the Pirates.

Congratulations.

And I also, Ryan, want to proclaim that you – I am stating that you are the baseball isn't boring free agent signing of the offseason.

I'm going to say it.

Yes.

Why is that?

Because we've looked at – this is an exhaustive process.

I look at –

People who I think are going to have great years for a lot of different reasons, right place, right time, right skill set, right personality, may or may not have a baseballs and boring t-shirt, like all these things.

So I just, I just, I got it.

I got the feeling, man.

I got the feeling.

Wow.

Um, so how this, if we could go, I got, I got plenty of, uh, stuff I want to talk to you about, but I do want to jump right into the weird world of free agency.

I know it's, it's a bizarre thing and you've, you've had to Bob and weave your way through a career of DFA and everything else.

But this is, this is the old, other than being in the all-star game, which awesome.

Um,

But other than that, this is a landmark moment where you have earned the right to do that.
