as we understood at Carlos goals
were numerous.
And obviously he wanted to get
paid and to provide for his
family?
S best as he could.
He also wanted to play for a
competitive team.
He wanted to be in a place where
he can play shortstop, for the
foreseeable future, in a place
they're his leadership skills.
I think we're really celebrated
and put in a higher pedestal.
And so I think the Minnesota
twins provided that for him.
We felt that through that
process.
And so I think that's why we
were emboldened to stay in
contact and really never say die
until we saw that this deal was
inked, whether it be here or
elsewhere.
We were with Carlos all of last
year.
We gave him an entrance physical
last season we gave him the
negative physical.
So are doctors were a little bit
more intimately aware of his
health condition.
And then, secondarily
attentively as the third team to
go through this, a pretty
rigorous physical process.
We've got the benefit from some
of the materials that the
previous two teams have found.
And so I think we walked into
our process yesterday, a little
bit more equipped than most with
, with some files and some data
that may be the previous two
teams didn't necessarily have
walking into their physicals
