So I appreciate it.

And we have more and more gifts in and other things that you can spread the word.

Anyway, congratulations.

I know that people have said this to you before.

congratulations a lot of great stuff in terms of getting this contract extension just if you can just sort of take me through the process because I remember standing here we talked about you were almost like thinking about retirement like if you weren't right it remember that and now like take me through how this happened you know the part for the progression of it and you're just your mindset throughout the process

Before you go on, I want to know what his face looked like.

Like, his reaction to this.

Like, when he says, he comes back and says, are you serious?

I'm like, okay, sure, I'll call my agent.

I mean, this is a wild story to me.

close was that so when you go say okay talk to my agent was that like it literally we talked about 24 hours that this got done or 48 hours uh the conversation yeah but not not like the logistics i would say the logistics of it were probably about a week and a half or something like that week week and a half somewhere around there

Well, that was the thing is like I almost expected this to be like I don't know I don't even know like Christmas like for this time.

We've barely here and All of this is happening here.

Yeah It's it's it's wild because you go back to your other extensions I can think of the one with the Red Sox and then the one of the Braves.

I mean the end of these are Not anything like this.

And by the way, I have a contract extension.

When you think back to when you arrived in spring training,

Like you said, you wanted to play.

When you get to Smith Train, you knew you wanted to play.

You knew you wanted to play for the Braves.
