00:00Jed, I just wonder, in light of what's happened in terms of his emergence,
00:03are those talks ongoing?
00:06Are those things you want to revisit?
00:07Or is that something that's tabled until the offseason?
00:11Yeah, I mean, so as far as the report, yeah, we did approach Pete.
00:16I mean, I think we think the world of him.
00:19And there's so many things I like about the way, not only the way he plays the game,
00:23but how he is as a teammate and how he interacts as a young player.
00:26And so, you know, we'd love to sign him long-term.
00:30Obviously, those conversations in season are delicate,
00:33and it's something that, you know, I'm sure at some point we will revisit.
00:38But right now we're just, you know, letting him focus on the season.
00:41And, you know, if there are any conversations, I think we'll just kind of keep those in-house.
00:46You know, frankly, having that get out when it did, it wasn't ideal.
00:51You know, we got through it, but we like to keep those things in-house.
00:55But, yeah, he's been remarkable.
00:58I mean, just such a, you know, such a great start to the season.
01:02And you brought up the leadoff, you know, position.
01:04But just in general, the idea of this, like, right now, I mean,
01:08he's beating you in so many different ways.
01:10His defense is just incredible.
01:13You know, obviously, he can beat you with power right now.
01:15If he hits a single, he can beat you with his legs on the bases.
01:18He just, you know, in a lot of ways, I say this, like, you know,
01:22when Javi was sort of at his sort of prime in, like, 2018 or so,
01:27there's a lot of ways he can help you win a game on a given night.
01:30You know, it might be with his glove.
01:33It might be with, you know, great base running.
01:35It might be with power.
01:36But he does a lot of things on the field that you can't teach,
01:39a lot of things that don't even show up in the box score.
01:42And, yeah, there's a lot of ways he can help you win games,
01:45and he's done that a lot this year.
01:46And, yeah, there's a lot of ways he can help you win games.
