 Eric Boland has the first question. Eric, if you can unmute, you can ask Guardia a question. Brett, I hope you and your family are well first and foremost. Just a general question about yesterday and what happened with Maasek. Can you just kind of describe what your thoughts were seeing that and then just sort of the impact that it had on the rest of the day? The team, you guys, just obviously were overwhelmingly concerned with what happened. Yeah, I mean, obviously, first and foremost, just a very scary incident that unfortunately is something when we're doing the things that we're doing is tough to avoid. And, you know, just immediately your thoughts go out to him and your concern for him. And, you know, we've seen him here today walking around acting like his normal self. So I'm hoping that he's in the clear and, you know, really just a really scary moment. Thanks, Eric. We'll go to Pete Caldera. Pete, you can unmute and ask Guardia a question. Hey, Guardia, how are you? What's up, Pete? How are you? Just curious about what that three month interim was for you like at home and how much baseball activity you were able to do during that period? It was definitely different being at home in the spring time for the first time and in 15 years it was it was definitely an adjustment. But I have two small kids and it was it was good to be able to spend some time with them and watch my youngest played a little bit of baseball here recently and just, you know, help them with their e-learning towards the end of the spring semester after I got back home from Tampa and really just spend a lot of time at home with my family, a lot of time up at my farm and helping my dad and my uncle out a little bit and just really, you know, kind of unplugging and getting away and being around as few people as possible to be honest. So, yeah, I mean, I was able to, you know, continue to stay in shape and work out at my house and, you know, hit and throw and, you know, obviously excited to be back. Thank you. Take the next question from Dan Martin. Dan, you can unmute and ask a question. Hey, Brett, how are you? Hey, good, Dan, how are you? I'm good. Just what was your thought process going into this? Some of your teammates you talked about yesterday who were very young and whole about it, but other people, as you know, around the league had some hesitation about whether they wanted to play. Just what's your feeling going into this spring training 2.0 and just what do you guys have to deal with to stay safe? Yeah, I mean, for me, you know, for myself and my family and to some of the other guys that I've talked to, we're just trying to take things one day at a time, really. And, you know, not have too grand of expectations and not really, I think we're all kind of just going into this with, you know, wait and see how it all plays out. But, you know, so far being back here over the last few days, it definitely has a different feel to it. But I think anywhere across the, whether it be city or state or world right now has a little different feel to it. So I think that, you know, it's just one of those things where we have to be responsible, keep our masks on when we're indoors. Obviously, you know, trying, you know, physically distance from each other as much as possible, which is hard for us because we've been apart for so long that all we want to do is sit around a table and have a cup of coffee and talk and catch up. So it's definitely got a different feel to it. But I think for the guys that are in the room, you know, we have to be 100% committed and 100% all in and do our best and do our part to, you know, not just stay safe ourselves but to keep those around us safe, too. Thanks. Brian Hoke, Brian, if you can unmute, you can ask a question. Hey, Brett. Hey, Brian, how are you? How are you? Good. You've been around the Yankees longer than anybody on this team. You've seen a lot, but nothing like this. What have the first few workouts been like for you and what makes you think that this is gonna work? Well, the first few workouts have been pretty normal other than seeing guys with masks on, you know, your coaches out there on the field and it's got a little different look to it and a little different feel to it. But, you know, for the most part, it's the same group of guys, you know, same coaching staff. And I think that, you know, with how quickly things kind of guys disperse during the middle of spring training, I think it's, you know, everybody's happy to be back together and excited to try and get this thing going. So, you know, like I said, it's just gonna be up to everyone involved, not just the players but all the other staff at the field and our families at home to be as smart as possible and, you know, hopefully all this works out. Thank you. Yep. Sweeney, Sweeney, if you can unmute, you can ask Guardia a question. Brian's got fans in the background. There you go. Guardia, you hear me okay? Yes, Sweeney, how are you? Good, buddy. Hey, Garrett Cole was talking to me today about a group text that he was having with you guys. I'm just wondering like what you've been able to learn about him personality-wise, how you've tried to engage him since he's new and trying to be part of his team is difficult at this time when everybody's apart and what it's gonna be like to have him, taking the mound maybe 12 times in 60 games for you? Yeah, well, I mean, obviously we're excited about having him be part of the squad. I mean, we all know what he's capable of doing out there on the mound every five days. You know, just in spring training, it was really, I thought he did a great job of getting to know guys early on and really interacting with everybody in a positive way. You know, really kind of taking it on himself to be one of the leaders and not just of the team but of that pitching staff and I think he's a guy that he's easy to like and he fits right in and like I said, we're happy to have him, obviously. You know, it's a different time right now for him. He just had his first child just a few days ago and I can't imagine going into all this with the big expectations that he has and I know it's a different time for him as well but good to see him back here yesterday and look forward to playing behind him every few days. Thank you. Thanks, Winnie. I see Meredith has joined. Meredith, if you can unmute, take a couple of questions from Guardi for Guardi. Thanks for doing this. I just wanted to ask you from a hitting perspective, defensive perspective, what do you view as some of the biggest challenges and trying to get game ready in three weeks? I think physically just guys knowing their bodies staying within themselves and not trying to do too much too early, obviously. Those three weeks, so I guess it's gonna be less than three weeks from now but you know, they're gonna fly by obviously and we need to make the most out of this time and be as smart as possible and you know, I think that our coaching staff does a good job of keeping us organized and moving at a swift pace and having a good plan and getting guys in and out and being able to get our work in as much work in as in a short amount of time as possible. So you know, again, I think we just take things one day at a time and be as safe as possible and you know, be respectful of others and I think that you know, if we keep our space and do that, hopefully we'll be able to play the whole season. Take the next question from Marley Rivera. Marley, please unmute. Hi Fred, I hope you're well and it's good to see you. I hope you and your family are well. Fred, you guys were very close obviously to making the World Series last year with a team that was really injured, right? Like record setting injury team, you were still a great team and got very far. This year you came into spring training as the prohibitive favorite after having signed Garrett Cole. How do you see the New York Yankees in a 60 gang season? Well, I mean, I don't think a whole lot has changed you know, since we left spring training other than the fact that, you know, hopefully a couple of the guys that maybe we're going to start the season on the injured list, I think are healthy now. So for us, you know, I think we look better now than we did a few months ago, but as we saw last year and as we saw yesterday with that scary incident with Masa, a lot of things can change in a hurry. So you know, we just have to do our part, like I said, to make sure our bodies are ready for this season in a short amount of time. And you know, obviously love the guys that we have, love the team that we have and feel great about our chances. So you know, we're excited to, you know, hopefully get these next few weeks by us without any incident and get the season started. And you know, it's been a long time coming, but we're looking forward to it. Thanks very much. We'll take a few more. Guardi's going to take the field for stretch shortly. So we'll get to a couple more and let him go. Jake, Siner, AP, if you can unmute, you can ask Guardi a question. Hey, Fred, can you see how it all plays out? Are you not necessarily 100%? No, I am personally 100% committed. I don't think that I would be here if I wasn't. Obviously that's a, you know, a conversation that I've had with my wife and with my family over the last few weeks and few months through all this. And you know, I think that, you know, I'm obviously me being here, you know, kind of speaks for itself. And then I'm committed to doing everything I can and doing my part to try and make this work and, you know, be here for my teammates. And as I said, I think we've got a great group of guys and a really good chance to do some special things on the field this year. And I look forward to being a part of that. You know, I just think that, you know, there's obviously a lot of uncertainty with where things are right now. And, you know, not for myself personally, but just as a whole. I mean, I think a lot of things are going to have to go right for all this to work. And I'm optimistic, but I'm also, you know, cautious and a little hesitant at the same time. So, yeah, just take things one day at a time. Enjoy everything that comes along with this. And like I said, we'll see what happens. We'll take a final two. Bob Clapis, you can unmute and ask a question. Hear me? Yeah, Bob, how are you? I'm good, thank you. I'm just wondering what your impressions are working out in empty stadium like this. And during the regular season, it's going to be even quieter and there's sort of a music background. Do you think you'll have any trouble finding that adrenaline, getting that scene sort of juiced with virtually total silence? It'll definitely be different. It's not something I've done. I've played my whole career with the Yankees and I'm fortunate that no matter where we play, we have a lot of fans and usually the atmosphere is really, really good. So it'll definitely be different. I don't know that I worry about getting motivated or finding that motivation because I feel like I've always been pretty self-motivated, but I'll definitely miss the fans and miss our Yankee fans, not just at home here in the Bronx, but on the road. Hopefully we don't have to play too many games without them. Hopefully as the season goes on, we can play in front of fans again, but I think that's a little ways away. So that's why I just say take things one day at a time and hope that we do get that opportunity at some point this year. Last question, John Schwartz. Yankees Magazine, John, if you can unmute. Hello. We can hear you. Hey, John, how are you? I'm good. How are you, Brad? Good. Just you mentioned guys being a little bit healthier. Obviously when you guys left camp, the entire outfield pretty much besides you, what, there's some question marks there. What have you seen already from, you know, whether it's Aaron or Aaron and G that has you excited about, you know, the field with them? Guys look good. I mean, they really do. Obviously us outfielders were usually grouped together. So I see a lot of those guys and, you know, everybody here seems healthy and seems ready for the season to start. Obviously, you know, two and a half weeks or whatever to knock off a little bit of rust, but those guys seem healthy and ready to go. And obviously, you know, we'll be excited to get them back in the lineup together.
