 Derek, when you found out the Yankees were interested this offseason, what made that opportunity appealing for you? Well, putting on the pinstripes has always been a goal of mine I think for for any aspiring baseball player and it's no different for me at 31 years old and and You know been playing Pro Bowl for 11 years when The Yankees came calling. It was just it was a no-brainer for me I've always wanted this opportunity and you know We have we have conversations in years past but to to have this opportunity now I wanted to jump at it. I mean the reputation The New York Yankees and the will and the desire to win and win a World Series every single year is something that You know, I wanted at this part of my career and I'm happy to be here Jamison Tyone said when he first put on that uniform he took a selfie sent it to some family members Was it a special moment for you when you first put on the uniform? Yeah, well today. I'll officially put it on for the first time and I was a little bummed because I saw the boys wearing the full pinstripes yesterday and I think that was like a one-time deal in spring and we're wearing the blue tops today But nonetheless to just to don the Yankees logo and be out here with the guys is a blessing in itself But it is special when you see that jersey hanging in your locker. It's it's a feeling that I've always wanted it and now I have it. Do you ever think about how your swing might play at Yankee Stadium? Absolutely a lot of people remind me of have reminded me of that over the years a lot of people in baseball I've always expressed that I'd look good in the Yankee uniform or I obviously would you know Hopefully hit well in that ballpark with left-handed power and with the fans and the energy that that Yankees You know organization and all the fan base provides I mean, I'm glad that we're gonna have fans this year and I'm hoping to to electrify You know that park in some sense was John Carlo Stanton one of those guys that said hey, you'll look good in pinstripes now I know you guys spent a lot of time together with the Marlin. Yeah big G And that's we we laughed about it You know we work out some in the offseason in Miami together and we obviously maintain contact We had great years together in Miami So to be back on the field and be in the same clubhouse with each other is cool You get to know so many people in the game and played you know ten plus years and but G is special and You know, I'm very happy that I get to see his face every day
