Swapping some talent around the field and taking on some money after doing a forecast of free agency. Walt and I went back and forth on this for quite a while before settling here and shoutout to him for the good chats!

Walt will confirm as soon as he gets thru the traffic in Queens.

Confirmed.

I don't think I'll ever field the same team in consecutive years until I win a chip.

I figured it was time to shuffle things around and with Alonso staying until his retirement, Nolan was likeliest to go.

Getting Springer and Sonny for Nolan and Cole was a solid redistribution of production and made it easier for me to let go of Oscar's control going forward hoping Ronny can provide some of that for me in a year or two.

Good working with Matt on this for quite a while and I'm thankful for his patience and persistence...good luck brother.
