Yeah, Snize is, I mean, even just thinking about it, I got a little emotional just because of how honored I am to work alongside of him.

He has a really, really deep understanding of what this environment needs to be a winning one.

He has the content to have our players relaxed and confident, and he has the preparation to make incredible decisions that really puts us in a strong position on a daily basis.

And when I talk about the environment with Snides and the way that he impacts it, it's not just the players.

It's, you know, I hope that each of you feel that as well as you come into the environment.

It's one that people want to be in.

And that's where the growth has happened.

But it had an incredible starting point.

Every situation is different.

Obviously, he has a lot of say in that.

So we're just fortunate to get to the point where we were or where we are today.

Our intention is to be working alongside of John Snyder for a very long time.

Contracts are a negotiation, but our goal and desire is for us to be working together for as long as we can continue to win and make that possible.

Yeah, I mean, like I was saying, as well as I could possibly imagine, he is...

He is truly exceptional at creating an environment that people want to come to work in every single day.

The poise, the positivity that he has and the way that he touches the different members of this organization throughout everything that impacts our environment is as good as it gets.

You know, we're still playing baseball here today.

When we have time, we'd like to use it.

There's always the potential of more information coming into the fold.

A lot of factors and variables.
