Yeah, I think, you know, for me...

I like signing early.

I like getting that out of the way and kind of getting your life to where you want to go.

And when the Rays were interested, I was super excited for the reputation they have.

And to get a chance to start again was pretty exciting for me.

I think it's in the back of my mind, but I think ultimately, you know, you're just kind of in the moment trying to just help the team win at the time and just kind of do it what they ask.

So I think starting is always, you know, just because I did that for the bulk of my career, I think it's something I've always enjoyed.

wanted to get back to, but in the moment you're just, you know, you got to be ready every day to go.

So it wasn't too much in my mind.

Yeah, definitely.

You know, I think...

You know, especially with kind of their track record of starting pitchers who are a little bit later in their career.

You know, I've heard great things about Kyle Snyder, and all that's really been validated so far in camp.
