I appreciate what the players did. It's a lot of wins. There have been a lot of great players that I've managed. Wonderful organizations that I've worked for. I want to thank all the players. They're the ones that get it done, I don't. |
I can't talk about it. |
I didn't have a particularly good year for Jack. I held out that spring and missed most of spring training, and it cost me. I don't think Jack was totally enthralled with my performance. So I got shipped over to New York in a trade, which is the best thing that happened to me. |

I had a front-view seat of this. And yeah, there were some words exchanged. But I certainly didn't see any bumping or cap brimming or spraying. ... I think I had a better view than anybody. I was right there. |
