John, last year, throughout the year, you talked about how you were really comfortable in your role.

Yeah.

Like the first time as a manager.

Is that even built throughout the playoffs last year and coming into this year?

Are you kind of in the same spot?

shift the conversation for a moment.

Are there any further roster decisions that you can disclose to us today?

Basically one bullpen spot and one position player.

surprised you down here?

Were you saying either, man, I wasn't expecting that or, man, that's not what I was expecting.

So is it fair to assume that Lukey has made the team?

And Sanchez.

Have you talked to Spencer?

It's just like some of those guys, it's either they're in Toronto or Buffalo.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, the bow one, relatively straightforward, just based on talent and health, and felt like he was in a good enough position to help our team and make us better.

Ty's been working tirelessly since his injury.

He's gotten back to an incredible position physically, has looked really good in all of his live at bats, and is a good matchup against this team.

And that contributed to the decision to keep the extra pitcher off.
