Max is a good hitter and has been hitting very well for us all season. He's been hitting all season and is a nice player to have.

We've got him in there and playing outfield because of the way he hits it. He's made the adjustment pretty good even though he has made a few errors. But he's more than made up for any of that with the way he swings the bat.

If we can get healthy, I think we're going to be a pretty solid team.

A two-year extension was not an option for us.

He stepped up and hit some key shots for us. He got the game ball tonight, he has a lot of toughness.

It's very much a shock to us.
