It sure sounded like David Stern said something cooking yesterday when they were introducing

Bo Bichette.

My preference is to add a starting pitcher.

I've been open and honest about that through the entirety of the all season.

And so he has done that by going to the Brewers and getting Freddie Peralta and Tobias

Myers, Sprote and Jet Williams Go, Peralta 29, 17 and 6 last year, 2.70 ERA and durable. 95 starts

over the last three seasons.

In terms of Bichette and his press conference yesterday, here he was, he says the reality

setting in that he's going to be in New York full time, at least for this season.

When I landed, I looked around and saw the city and it hit a little bit different than it does when you come as a road player, you know. I think as a road player, you kind of come and you try to ignore all of it. Yeah. And when I landed, I kind of look around. So just ignore all of it. Yes. Don't take it all in. Don't just stay in your hotel room and don't come out until you play baseball. Well, he actually went on to say now he's taking it all in because it's he's here. Don't take it all in. Well, okay. Don't. Well, he wants to. Here's the manager, Carlos Mendoza. A big, big change in the roster going forward. Definitely different, you know, but exciting at the same time, you know,

appreciation and respect from a lot of the guys that left, but also exciting, you know,

with some of the new ones that we got in here, you know, a lot of gamers as well.

Gamers, that's right. Here was Beset on on playing third base going forward i was open to

doing anything if it felt like the place i needed to be and like i said it it became very clear that

you know i wanted to be a met and then one of his yeah 47 million with two opt-outs why i'd be a met

too i would think so uh in terms of playing with the great Juan Soto.

Special player, an incredible competitor,

someone who has matched pretty much every moment he's been introduced to,

World Series playoffs, things like that.

So to play with one of the best players in baseball,

and there's a few guys on this team, not just one.

But, yeah, I'm just excited to see how these guys can make me better.
