Aaron is an absolute professional. He sought me out, wanted to congratulate me personally. We have a long history of competing against one another, a mutual respect. Aaron’s the only one in baseball that can really relate to my job in the sense of either win a World Series championship or you’ve failed and you’re not doing a good job in the respective markets. Dave Roberts said.
