And we brought him in, like, contract year.
He's going to, like, be all into it and put up big numbers.

It was like, shit, Dex is gonna, he's gonna get like a deal deal here.
And so, you know, we thought, you know, we had targeted like Jaehae, we needed the right fielder.
And it was, we would just assume like Dex is gonna get like more years than we're comfortable with.

I'm like, hey, Casey, just stay in touch.

And it became clear, like it was just one of those off season where it hadn't lined up for him.
