Yeah, I don't think it will fully sink in until...

I'm probably done playing.

I try to live in the moment.

Obviously, when you win an award like that, it's special, but my goal is to win a championship, and that's more important than any individual award I can win, but it's an honor for sure.

I want to downplay it, but I'm not satisfied yet with anything I've accomplished in my career.

Did you talk to Garrett Crochet yesterday after the vote came out?

No, I need to, though.

I need to, though.

Just congratulate him on the birth of the daughter, yeah, girl.

And just check in and see how...

the girls doing and how mom mom's doing so um i need to though there's a guy like that push you like just seeing what he does every five days push you knowing that there's that level of elite in the league yeah i mean yes and no obviously he's a great player um

one of the game's best pitchers you know and his stuff is you could argue it's the best in the game um but at the same time like i'm not competing against him you know i'm focused on the detroit tigers and trying to win baseball games and um i don't really care what award you win as if you know you win the last game of the year in the world series so um

But, yeah, it's great to have other really good pitchers.

He's a really good dude, too, obviously, and getting to know him a little bit.

So he had a hell of a year, too.

A hell of a year.

With me?

Yeah.

No, I don't have, that's not my role.

I play, I'm a player.
