TEXAS DON WAKAMATSU:

On his takeaway from the season as a whole:

“The experience that the young guys gained. It’s invaluable that we had that many guys, (Isiah) Kiner-Falefa, (Ronald) Guzman, , (Nomar) Mazara. You go down the list, (Juriskson) Profar, had a breakout year. That’s what you look at in situations, especially as bad as the season went, but you look at the positive that they gained some valuable experience going in to play as a group next year. The other thing that really suck out in the last couple weeks is the development of these young pithcers. To be able to put them in situations where we normally wouldn’t, later in ballgames. The (Connor) Sadzeck’s, the (C.D.) Pelham’s, guys like that. To be able to put them in the 8th and 7th inning in pressure situations before the year finished. The young starting pitching did an outstanding job going down the stretch, so there was a lot of valuable experience gained.”

On how he reflects on Adrian Beltre’s career and his time with Texas:

“I’ve been real fortunate. This is the second time I’ve had the chance to manage him. The other thing is, that people don’t realize, especially the last couple games, the one at home and the one here where we took him out of the game, it wasn’t about Adrian. It was about his family, and that front row. It was about the fans, and Seattle did a nice job paying tribute to him, so it was a special day for him.”
