It's been humbling to have multiple teams interested in me and have people talking about my free agency and what I should do.
I talk to everyone, but most of the people I hang out with are Latin.
Obviously, we need to stand in front of a camera and answer questions, but ultimately, I just play baseball. That's what I'm good at; that's what I know.
Obviously, I'm a shortstop at heart. I want to continue to play shortstop.
Do I want to play for a contending team? Yeah. Do I want to go to the playoffs? Yeah. Do I want to win a ring? Of course I do.
I've played third base for a couple years. I did well, and I thought I was an elite player at that position, but at the end of the day, I've been a shortstop my entire life.
Baltimore will always have a piece of my heart.
Huge Kobe fan growing up. My dog's name is Kobe.
Every time you put on an Oriole uniform, it's always a great blessing, and you always want that opportunity to put that on.
It's always worth it when you come out here and put on a uniform and step on that field. It's the best feeling you'll ever have.
Would be a dream to play with family.
Tempers flare at times. That's what good teams do: they react to things and go out there and leave it all on the field.
I'm not going to lie: it's tough. There were a couple of games where you're down, and you're in a really dark place, and you don't know if you're ever going to come out of it. You realize, 'Hey, I'm having a bad day,' but you realize there are people out there having worse days.
You've gotta stay true to yourself, stay who you are.
The biggest thing is, I can never forget where I come from. That's why I wear Miami on my sleeve. I never forget where I grew up.
I'm going to the All-Star Game as an Oriole and as a shortstop. It's just always a blessing. I thank God.
I hustle, I run down the line, I do whatever I can to win ball games. Those are the only things we can control as baseball players.
