My intention is to return. That decision rests with the Marlins. They haven't said anything specific, and I haven't asked.

We have no intention of interfering with the government's decision, or to bring about any political implications. We are merely trying to help people who are in distress.

Nah, he won't be back (for next year's exhibition). We didn't get him out last year; we couldn't get him out this year.
