Play, how close, first of all, do you feel after your outing?
Yeah, I feel good.
It was good to, just to be in a game and, you know, feel the, feel the competition.
It's been a while, so just being back out there and, just getting to throw all the pitches and just, you know, be out on a baseball field was a lot of fun.
You obviously know the situation here with the trade deadline.
Just wondering how you're viewing things right now and, and if you have any expectations of what's gonna happen in the next couple of weeks.
Yeah, I mean, it's, I, I don't know.
You know, I think that's, the big thing is we'll see where it goes, you know?
I, I don't, there's a lot gonna happen.
There's, a lot of different scenarios.
And so to me, say, you know, what I think is gonna happen, I, I don't think anybody really knows right now.
You know, it, it does feel like, you know, the team's gonna make some moves.
What those are really necessarily, you know, we don't really know yet.
So, you know, for me, I'm just, I'm glad to be on a mound again and, really close to, game action here in the big leagues, and I'm really excited about that right now.
Expressed that you'd be open to a extension.
From your, from what you've heard from your, where, did those talks go anywhere with the Mets?
Was that, is it ongoing?
Yeah, I don't think there's been, you know, at least kinda how I feel, I don't think there's been, you know, a ton there.
I think it's just, you know, one of those situations where, like I said, there's a few different scenarios that the, the team can go, and, you know, I think it's, it really boils down to, you know, what the, what the team thinks is, is best for, the organization, you know, now long-term.
And so, yeah, I mean, it's, a few different scenarios, and I think there's some things that just have to unfold before they really know more.
