"The last two seasons changed my career. I came here looking for a chance to contribute. What I found was an organization that challenged me, trusted me, and pushed me to be better every day. Because of that, I played the best baseball of my life - and I was fortunate enough to be part of two World Series championships along the way."
"To my teammates - thank you for the work, the preparation, the accountability, and the bond we built in that clubhouse. The standard in that room matters, and I'm proud to have been part of it. To the coaches, staff, and everyone behind the scenes - thank you for the belief and the support that allowed me to grow. And to Dodger fans - running out to that mound at Dodger Stadium is something I'll never take for granted."
