 OK, everybody, we have Aaron Boone here. Who would like to ask the first question? Anybody have a question for Aaron Boone? Marley Rivera, go ahead. Hi, Aaron. Thank you so much for taking the time. Just wondering if you could give us an update on Judge, please. So the plan is for him to play tonight. They're out there stretching now and going through the pre-game routine, obviously. So I want to make sure he gets through that fine and then hopefully be good to go tonight. How did that decision come about, Aaron? I think we looked at it as yesterday. He was pretty much almost there. Had a good day of work yesterday, obviously. And then just making sure he came in with the necessary improvements. And then, again, making sure he gets through the pre-game stuff fine, but feel like he should be good to go. Thank you. Sweetie Murdy. Hey, Aaron. A couple of your pitchers have talked about Sam Braind. And I'm wondering, without any minor league teams to bounce around from, what has he specifically been working on while you're here? And what will his role be in the season going forward? Well, yeah. I mean, Sam's been incredibly valuable as far as just as a pitching coach. And certainly his understanding of the tools available to us now and how we evaluate pitchers and to be able to teach and communicate, he's been really valuable to our organization since coming on. He'll be down in Scranton once we start to send guys out. And he'll be essentially the pitching coach down there and kind of getting guys ready. And obviously, we're going to have guys down there that are very much still in their developmental phases, big prospects for us. So it's going to be a critical time for them over these next couple of months, whether it's getting them ready to contribute here at some point this season. But if not, their development heading into the winter. Meredith, go ahead and unmute. You have the next question. Aaron, I believe Jonathan Loisiga is going today. Do you still view him as a starting option? Or do you expect him to play more of a reliever role, knowing that the season is now different? Yeah. Look, he could certainly play both of those roles. I see him more initially in some kind of reliever role, but certainly a guy that's capable of giving us some length. But I'm really excited about where he's at right now and feel like he's going to play a very important role for us this year. And that could be everything from an important high leverage inning to a three-inning stent to an opener role to even the possibility of being a starter. So I don't want to put a limit on him of what he's capable of doing, because I think his ceiling is so high. And I do feel like he's made tremendous strides with us the last couple of years, but even this spring and where he's at right now. You mentioned being excited about where he's at. What excites you about it? What's different about his stuff that looks better? I think he's just continued to clean up and tighten up his delivery, his mechanics, his timing when he's getting his body in position and arms in position and things like that. He's just a little bit more of a polished pitcher. He's obviously gained valuable experience for us the last couple of years. He's pitched in some big spots. He's pitched in the postseason. And I feel like from a maturity standpoint, he's ready to take that next step as well. And any time you have the kind of stuff that he has, it lends itself to a high ceiling. And I believe he's going to take a big step for us this year and, again, play an important role for us. And what do you hope to see from Paxton? How far will you push him today? We'll see. Pray in that 70 range, 65, 70, 70. Probably wouldn't get him up to 75. But just the things he's been working on to see it now in live game, I think it's another important step for him, obviously, in building towards the start of the season. But I know he has been pleased, but we have been pleased with just since having his surgery, just the whole process has really gone well from his rehab to even before we left in spring training 1.0. He was already starting to play catch and felt like he was in a really good spot before he headed home. And he was able to get a lot of quality work in while he was in Wisconsin and has come in here ready to go. Brian Hope, go ahead. Hey, Aaron. I just wanted to follow up on Paxton. This is his first time in an intrasquad game. Did you have to go a little slower with him, be more cautious because of the surgery? No, no. He threw actually on our off day when we had the rain. So he came in and that was his throw day. But so it just kind of timed up that he couldn't throw in a game because of that. So no, it had nothing to do. He came in as pretty much as far along as anyone. If you start counting days, I think he could go for that second game in Washington. Have you thought that far ahead? Would he be your number two starter? Yes. That's the plan. Yes. Do you have the rest of the rotation? Cole's going to go first. Thank you. You're welcome. George King, go ahead. Tanaka was back on the field again today, growing agility drills. Are you pointing to a specific date when he'll get on the mound? And what do you think of how he's done so far? Yeah, tomorrow. So the plan will be for him to throw a bullpen tomorrow. And yes, pleased with where he is, again, going back to obviously a very scary moment. I think the fact that he has essentially not had any symptoms, but every step of the way as we've ramped up his workload, he's responded well. So we still tread cautiously any time you're dealing with something like this. But we continue to be encouraged with how he's feeling. And I feel like he's in a good place. And we're letting him drive that a little bit, too, to make sure he's ready from his own standpoint and his own psyche to get back on. And tomorrow will be another important day as he gets back on the mound. Too early to point towards live hitters game? I mean, if things go well, we'd hope that he'd be able to see live hitters before opening day. Obviously, he'd want to get a couple bullpens in and then face live hitters. So I really don't want to get too far out ahead of this. First things first, tomorrow is a bullpen. And hopefully, he responds well to that. And then we can take that next step. Ron Blum, go ahead. Hey, Aaron, as you look ahead to next week, at what point do you start to think that Lamehu and Chapman would not be there for the start of the season if they don't get back on the field by such and such day? Not there yet. I don't know if I've set a date on it. Because first things first is getting them negative and back. And when that happens, we'll make an evaluation of where we think they are and what's the best course moving forward. But I haven't let myself look at a date like, oh, we need them in by here. I just haven't gone there yet. Thank you. Aaron, thank you for the time. We appreciate it. We're still working on that.
