“Hopefully at some point, someone else behind me will have an easier time with training methods, with being honest, with being true to who they are or whatever, because I broke down some sort of barrier.”

“Am I perfect? No. Far from it. But that's the same case for everybody.”

“I have no interest in being a reliever. It's not to say I wouldn't do it at some point, but I would have to have a really long time to think about it or if I want to retire.”

“As the players get younger and younger, and the teams value younger players, the players' best years are when they're being paid the least.”

“Everybody is afraid of risk.”

“I grew up in a loving family, but I essentially grew up alone. I had no friends for a while.”

“I really pride myself on not missing starts and being able to take the ball when it's my turn, I want to be able to do my job and take my turn. Especially in the playoffs.”

“Personally, I think fans would rather watch a DH hit than a pitcher hit.”

“I want to win. I want to be happy while doing so.”

“I want to be happy. I want to enjoy playing baseball.”

“If I'm around people I don't know well - if I'm at a bar or I'm hanging out with a group of people I don't know or whatever - I'm quiet. I don't say a lot. I listen. I watch. I observe.”

“I want to be a member of an organization that values me and that I value them.”

“I think it's a fairly well-known thing about me that I'm a big nerd.”

“Cheating is one thing - it's not OK - but at least if you cheat and you come out and you get caught and you're like, 'Look, I did this and it wasn't right. This is why I did it. I'm not going to do it again, I learned my lesson.'”

“Guys that are striking out 200 times, like Joey Gallo - in 1990 he would have hit 75 home runs every year because he's facing guys with an average velocity of 90 miles an hour, good command and O.K. breaking balls.”

“From what I've read, Gen Z largely favors players over teams and that's one of the reasons it's so important to showcase MLB player personalities.”

“Engineers have a certain mindset of how they approach problem solving. That's basically what engineers are: problem solvers. You identify the problem. Then you design a process to solve the problem. Then you execute the process and repeat it over and over until you get it right.”

“Look, I'm not that big.”

“Everyone makes mistakes in the past. I try to learn from them. I try to learn from them as quickly as I possibly can.”

“I have no problem with Gerrit. We had a rocky relationship in college, because he told me that I had no future in baseball and he insulted my work ethic as a freshman. I don't take kindly to those couple things, so we had our issues. And I have, I don't know, those feelings have long since faded.”
