“Very thankful for this opportunity to be back where it all started,” he posted to X. “… Let’s Go Pads!!”

He expanded on his feelings in a team-issued news release.

I’m a Padre through and through – from the moment I was drafted by the team until this very day, and I can’t wait to work alongside this talented group and contribute in any way I can to the success of this great organization.”
