I spent the whole night thinking of when I went into that building, what was I going to encounter. I think people are hopeful. There were some very sad faces in there, which I found very humbling.

I'm hoping to learn more about San Antonio, so I've invited the mayor, the county judge, some commissioners and the district attorney to come and join us here until we get to know each other and find out more about each other.

Let me say this about the stadium There has been very little progress towards a new stadium. And, I was thinking the other day, reflecting back on the last four years, if any of the thousands of fans -- good fans -- who were on that World Series parade route were in touch with their elected officials and expressed their desire to keep the team in South Florida, and keep it going, it probably would have been done by now. I'm very surprised that it hasn't been done by now, especially with our contribution. That's really all I want to say about it. We have options, and we're looking at all our options right now.

Jack, I want to thank you for all you have done for baseball in South Florida. You've been a winner everywhere you've gone. I'm glad you decided to win a championship with us and all of South Florida. We all look forward to the next chapter. ... Jack's many years of front-office experience will complement what I consider to be one of the best baseball operations in all the game.
