Our guys still have a couple of trades in the works.

Kirby's too good a guy to have something like this (stroke) happen.

I was against him going into it. I said, 'You can never make it (an Oscar).' I've been in and out of the pictures business for a number of years, and you don't just make one picture and hope you can get anything done with it. But that's quite an achievement. He fooled me.

It was tough, but you've got to pay what the market is. It wasn't easy because this sort of thing really isn't our policy. But there's an exception to every rule, and Santana is exceptional. We couldn't afford to lose him.

I never get nervous. Baseball consists of two things: hitting and pitching, and we've got both.

This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere.
