"We lost Cruz and Markakis -- that's two big holes. I texted Cruz the other day. I said, 'Congratulations, man. You deserve it. I'm glad you did the best for you and your family. I'm going to miss you. I'm going to miss all that damn food you bring in. But I'm not going to miss all the 35 people you bring in every damn day [to the clubhouse]. I'm not going to miss that. I'm not going to miss your dad and uncle sleeping on the couches. I'm not going to miss that.' But, seriously, I'm happy for him. But this game has turned into a business. And with all the sabermetrics and all the statisticians and with all that going on, I think they are really using that as a platform for a lot of contracts. I'm locked in, so I don't know what free agency feels like. But when you break it down and see how it all works, how the process works out, sometimes it's the hardest decision in the league.
