said on this week\u2019s episode of The Post\u2019s \u201cThe Show\u201d podcast with Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman. \u201cA couple weeks later, we saw they were making big-time signings and going after

we got, and we\u2019re here to win, we\u2019re going to do whatever it takes to win, we\u2019re changing the culture here, we\u2019re doing absolutely everything we can, we\u2019re going to sign the right guys, we\u2019re going to build a clubhouse.\u2019 Look at Billy\u2019s history of doing that in Anaheim, when he was there with the Yankees, and you kind of get a feel for what they were doing.
