 Well I think what's there to be done is the life he now leads and you know that's at the field but also and more importantly away from the field the life he's leading you know he he has done enough to earn the opportunity to be here and to compete and to be a part of this team now the proof is in in the daily life that he leads and we're certainly going to do all we can to support him and and help him to become the best version of this of himself possible but you know now now the proof will be in the in the in the days ahead we go next to Lindsay Adler please on you and over the last few days we've heard a number of your players saying pretty candid about things and not to equate them but definitely talking about the mango they're talking about the labor issues so do you think the value is players being more open to an extent about about their perspectives on sport and in their uh and their experiences within it yeah I mean we're probably seeing more of that across the board which which I think is a good thing um you know I I think it's it's it's existed throughout time though in sports you know some people are outspoken about things and you know one of the things we've certainly encouraged our guys that if something you know you're passionate about um you know whether it's you know labor issues whether it's social issues um whatever it may be if something's heavy on your mind and heart and you feel like you want to um speak on that um by all means you have that opportunity you have that platform you have that right and uh I think by and large we're seeing more and more acceptance of that and appreciation of of you know people and athletes and entertainers you know having their opinions and allowing them to be heard uh Brendan cutting please unmute you have the next question Aaron what did you think of seeing Taeyong for the first time against others today yeah um I thought he was good I thought he started out a little bit slow and I really like liked how he finished um I thought his stuff as he got going on got really crisp um I really liked overall you know starting with Jamison really I thought by and large our pitchers threw well but likewise I thought our hitters were really grinding away and and giving really competitive that that so I thought it was a real competitive environment and and you know Jamo I think saw you know seeing Judge and Hicks and Frazier and not not sure who else he saw but guys that obviously really control and know the strike zone and um you know got an early look here in February that against those guys you really got to execute and I thought it was a really good another good step for Jamo and and I really liked how he finished um I thought his stuff really crisp got crisp as he went on Brian hope please unmute you have the next question Aaron we've talked a lot about Domingo from the clubhouse perspective uh from a baseball perspective where do you see him right now where how close is he to the guy you had in September 2019 and what have you seen so far on the field I mean I like what I've seen um you know he's he's throwing a couple bullpens he's been sharp he's been crisp uh you know he's in good shape uh you know he kind of going through our assessments with strength and conditioning and training you know he came in in a good spot in a good shape and and that's what he's demonstrated so far in just his couple of bullpens but you know that's a long time ago you know that's a year and a half ago when he was you know at the top of his game and uh there's nothing that suggests he can't get back to that point to being that kind of player but I would also caution that we're very early in the game as far as you know him working his way back but so far I've liked what I've seen. We go next to Pete Caldera Pete unmute. What do you recall from the time of last October when John Carlos Stanton was on that full season home run tear and what are your thoughts about where he is now as he comes to the camp? I think it was consistent to really I think the last couple of years if you hear my comments and I've always kind of talked about where I think he's gone to as a hitter and as an approach and in his focus and I feel like you know we saw what I what I feel like had he been healthy in 19 and 20 a lot of what we would have seen throughout those seasons. I was obviously really happy for him you know for him to go and produce at such a high level on on a big stage against the best of competition but I really feel like that's what he's capable of and I and I feel like through these injuries I've seen a guy that you know and and I think it's just the evolution and the maturity of a of a great and talented player you know playing in New York I think he's learned how to navigate that and I just think again I think if he can stay healthy he's going to turn in a special season I think he's in a lot of ways a much better hitter than even he was when he when he won his MVP several years ago. Thank you. We can go to Ron Blum. Ron go ahead. Look I think they they're all in that mix you know and I think you can expand the list even more when you talk about Wojcowski and Chesine and you know if we go down that road with the Nick Nelson and there's a number of guys and and you know one of the things I've talked about at the start of this camp is I feel like from a depth standpoint you know our 10 11 or so potential starters I feel like all wouldn't surprise me if if any of them are impacting our club earlier at some point in the season so I'm just looking forward to seeing how it plays out who kind of emerges and maybe declares himself but again I think coming off the last season and with whether it's some of our younger pitchers getting built up whether it's guys returning from injury we're going to need to lean on a number of guys and that's why the depth's important and at this point I feel really good about who could possibly emerge so it'll play itself out and declare itself as we go. You see Hermann has someone who's either a starter or at the alternate site or would you consider him also a possibility? Yeah I think I would say everything's on the table we certainly consider him a starter but again you know we might get a little bit creative too in that first especially the first month of the season where you have a few off days in the first couple of weeks you're trying to build guys up and protect guys especially early in some of the colder weather so you know we could get a little creative with guys but I certainly feel like Domingo is a starter but you know he could be a weapon in a lot of different ways as well. Thank you. Yeah we can go next it's a Sweeney Murdy. Aaron both you and Brian have talked about the impact that the shutdown had on Labor Torres and the shape he came into in the summer camp how does he look now compared to what he looked like last summer? Great he looks great it's you know I don't mean to overstate it but one of the first things I did the other day when when guys went through their physicals and assessments was at the end of the day you know kind of went in and met with you know Eric Cressy and Brett McCabe and Matt Rutledge just to kind of get an idea where we're at and I think they were really really impressed with across the board where guys came in and and Labor certainly fit that bill he's in great shape and you know if you guys get a chance to see him up close he looks good he's moving well and excited to see what he's going to go do for us. Thank you. Meredith Murakovitz please unmute. Aaron Lutoy had a pretty big year last year from a power perspective he spoke earlier about wanting to make some strides defensively this season what type of growth would you like to see from him this season considering the solid year he had a year ago? Yeah I think I think continuing just continuing to get a little bit better at his game and defensively as part of that I feel like even from 19 to last year defensively I felt like he made a lot of strides now where you know we're not even taking a step back but where he got hurt up a little bit last year was you know the foot issue that he was dealing with where it didn't really affect him obviously at the plate it probably did cut down on him in the field a little bit and just his ability to move laterally you know move you know as efficiently as he should so hopefully health and just being in a better place physically heading into the season you'll see a natural uptick on the defensive side just in his agility and his ability to move. Have he looked any different this spring or is it the same as last spring it was just that injury that then you kind of set him back a little bit? Yeah I think similar you know hopefully he's you know improved incrementally and as you continue to work and you know bust it at your craft so he's looked good so far and uh yeah hopefully you know he can stay a lot more healthy and and it improves his agility
