So I remember talking late, he was about to sign with Baltimore, but by that time we had acquired Zobris, traded Starland to kind of free up the spot and free up some of the money.
Um, we obviously had signed Jay Hay and you know, my job as a GM, like, you know, you have a super talented team.
I thought part of my job is
Think through every way a team that's talented enough on paper to go in 95 to 100 wins.
Think of every way, everything that could come up that could get in the way of that happening.
What are like the six things that could happen where we're not like deep enough, we don't have enough redundancy.
Well, that's what you got to do because it's such a pet peeve where like you have a bad year
you had a lot of injuries the end of the year like well you know we had those injuries it was a bad you know you're going to have injuries right you're going to have injuries every year so you have to build depth so we're like look dex on a one-year deal if chance that he would come back is a total no-brainer because now all of a sudden you know you can have decks and center jay plays right you've got now solaire and schwarber and we can rotate and
get guys enough at bats.
But if someone goes down, now we're totally covered.
And sure enough, first week of the season, Schwarber ends up going down.
But Dex was just, it was like too good to be true to get him back on a one year.
And it was like, it was meant to be.
It was like the icing on the cake, honestly, to already an amazing off season of bringing in
Lackey, Jay Hay, and Zobrist.
And he left money on the table to come back and he wanted to be part of it.
You know, he had such a good time.
That's where you get rewarded for... For the culture and what you create.
When you have a great culture as you guys created in the clubhouse, like, first of all,
Word spreads in the big, the players talk all the time.
