I couldn't sleep knowing I was going to leave my Miami. It's always going to be my home, but it's not the same.

I always knew I could play, but it wasn't likely to happen in Boston. I'm grateful to the Red Sox for trading me and to the Marlins for giving me the chance.

I'm just going to try to hit the ball hard. If it's going out of the park, that'll be OK.

I played because I loved it. It was incredible when they told me they were going to sign me and they were going to give me money.

I'm not going to give the same energy. I am going to give more of myself. If everyone thinks like that, it's going to be something incredible.

I've been playing baseball since I was four. I've got baseball in my blood. I love baseball.

The fans here, they've been unbelievable. You've got to play hard for them.
