I've been doing this since I was a kid. I'm always going to play the game with a smile on my face, blowing bubbles, sunflower seeds, whatever it is. That's just who I am.

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.

Obviously, I'm a shortstop at heart. I want to continue to play shortstop.

Obviously, getting traded halfway through the year is always tough. New faces, new teammates, guys you played against but don't know on a personal level.

It's been humbling to have multiple teams interested in me and have people talking about my free agency and what I should do.
