The Atlanta Hawks have acquired point guard Jeff Teague in a three-player trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Minnesota also is sending guard Treveon Graham to Atlanta in a deal that returns guard Allen Crabbe to the Timberwolves.

Minnesota creates an open roster spot that could be useful in bigger trades before the Feb. 6 deadline.

The Hawks have been scouring the marketplace for a backup point guard to ease the burden of Trae Young. The Hawks have an offensive rating of 108.2 with Young on the floor, and 90.7 off it.

Teague and Crabbe are on expiring contracts. Teague, 31, played the first seven years of his career with Atlanta.

"Different players play different ways, and I'll give Jeff a lot of credit for trying and doing whatever was asked of him to try to be a good fit in our system,'' new Wolves president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas said on a conference call with reporters. "I think, big picture, it's just a different game. The way he plays, this system is maybe not as complementary to him in that we need our lead guard to be a guy who pushes tempo and is more of a creator than a scorer.''

Graham, 26, has averaged five points and three rebounds.

MILWAUKEE -- Inside the hallway of Fiserv Forum, just out of sight from the thousands of fans who have filled the arena on this Thursday night in November, there is a loud altercation coming from the Milwaukee Bucks' tunnel. There are mere minutes before the players take the court.

Robin Lopez and Wesley Matthews are tied up, arms interlocked. But in an instant, Lopez has Matthews in a chokehold, simultaneously attacking with a fury of fists. Matthews is on the defensive, but Lopez hesitates just long enough for Matthews to break free and retaliate with shots of his own.

The tables are turned.

The curly-haired center is trapped in a stranglehold, and as he gasps for air, Lopez summons his last remaining strength to reach out and tag Thanasis Antetokounmpo.

Thanasis jumps into the fray, throwing the shooting guard to the ground and freeing his 7-foot partner. As Matthews gingerly crawls away, Lopez slowly rises and moves to finish off his foe.

But this time it is Matthews who calls for a switch, and a new challenger appears. It only takes one move -- a Sweet Chin Music superkick -- and Lopez is on the floor, motionless. Giannis Antetokounmpo delivers the final pin as teammates look on in silence.

Applause then erupts as the reigning NBA MVP rises to his feet for his curtain call. Lopez takes his hand and gets up sprightly, joining the ovation for the night's victor.

Less than a minute has passed since the tussle broke out, but the Bucks are now ready to take to the hardwood after executing one of the least traditional pregame warm-ups in the league.

Not much is different about the Bucks this season. Once again, they have one of the league's best records and the likely MVP. But some things have changed. Two of their few offseason additions have reunited in Milwaukee and introduced a rowdy, new pregame tradition to one of the NBA's most consistent teams.

Back when Matthews and Lopez were teammates on the Portland Trail Blazers, they started beating each other up in faux wrestling matches before rushing out onto the floor. They brought the routine to Milwaukee this season, and it has exploded in locker room popularity.

"It's a vibe of brotherhood," Thanasis said. "We're all together having fun."

In many NBA arenas, the tunnel is the site of pregame huddles and chants, a final moment of privacy before stepping onto the court. The San Antonio Spurs meet outside of their locker room in the AT&T Center hallway for a quick huddle before trotting off to the court for business. The Chicago Bulls once juiced up their pregame routine by including mascot Benny The Bull in their team huddle. And in Milwaukee, they throw punches.

"Honestly, it's just kind of evolved with Giannis getting in on that and guys getting in on that," Matthews said. "It just kind of gets you loose before you get ready to go to battle."

Prior to a game at the Oklahoma City Thunder, Matthews hit Lopez with a Stone Cold Stunner. In Chicago, Matthews took Lopez down with a folding chair. The entire team stomped out Kings mascot Slamson the Lion in Sacramento. And in Memphis, a bedrock of professional wrestling, Giannis cracked Lopez upside the head with a Cobra finisher.

"I think everybody enjoys it. It's just fun," Lopez said. "Wes is the knowledgeable one about wrestling, so he keeps me on my toes. Occasionally, I have to look up some moves to know what I need to be expecting."

Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, Matthews idolized the WWE stars he saw on television: Stone Cold Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels.

Thousands of miles away in Athens, Greece, Thanasis and Giannis were doing the same despite having to wait for the opportunity to tune in.

"You could go from like Rey Mysterio to Eddie Guerrero to The Rock," Thanasis recalled. "It was crazy [trying to follow stars across eras], and back home they don't have wrestling on TV. It's specific channels you have to have."

Catching your favorite wrestling act is easier these days. Clips of the Bucks' shenanigans have spread across social media and caught the attention of WWE performers.

Tag-team duo Tucker Knight and Otis Dozovic, known as Heavy Machinery, were in attendance at a Bucks game in December ahead of a SmackDown event.

"Matthews' Frog Splash is top notch," Dozovic told ESPN. "I would call it a five-star Frog Splash, just like Rob Van Dam back in the day. So this man is already trained. Very high praise."

"But they need a little work," Knight added. "A little bit. Not a lot. It was good."

Matthews is prepared to put in the work. He already is looking for ways to get more creative.

"It's not a scripted thing," Matthews said. "Actually, I said the other night we might be running out of material and we've got to start going back in the archives ... to watch some old wrestling footage."

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer didn't learn of the high jinks until more than 20 games into the season, when his children showed him the viral videos.

"I had no idea what they were talking about. And then they showed me, and I was like, 'Oh, my God. I cannot believe they do that,'" Budenholzer said. "It just seems really strange, and I don't know what the right word is. Just different. And I joked with somebody else that I'm just going to pretend that I don't know that it's happening and act like they don't do it."

"I'm not engaged on it," the coach added. "They didn't run that one by me."

And while there is little concern from the front office or coaching staff regarding potential injuries or accidents, players are still taking precautions.

"We will stay in front of [hazardous objects] so something never happens," Thanasis said. "I know it looks so dynamic in the video, where you're like, 'Oh, shoot!' But in reality, it's just playful. We're just having fun."

It is Dec. 19 and the host Bucks are gearing up to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the most anticipated regular-season games -- a showdown of first-place teams from opposite conferences.

Giannis pummels Lopez with a string of silly punches outside the locker room, following up with a King Cobra finisher. Matthews jumps over the laid-out center and bounces off imaginary ropes to set up Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's signature move, The People's Elbow.

Of course, his teammates help Lopez up off the ground -- as they always do.

The Bucks go on to defeat the Lakers 111-104 en route to a league-best 25-4 record. And while Milwaukee gets the win on the court, Matthews gets the win on social media.

His pregame elbow gets #PeoplesChampApproved that night when The Rock retweets the video with the caption: "Love seeing these guys have fun! #1 in the conference. Confident, happy and hungry."

Love seeing these guys have fun!
#1 in the conference.
Confident, happy and hungry. #PeoplesChampApproved ??? https://t.co/W6wT1opONN

— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) December 20, 2019

The on-court success and The Rock's endorsement spurs the Bucks' wrestling ringleader on to even loftier ambitions.

"[Hill] ain't gonna do it because he's too cool. But the goal is to get everybody in and try to have like a Royal Rumble," Matthews says to George Hill before walking out of the locker room.

"If I can be Rey Mysterio Jr.," Hill responds, "I'm in."

The Houston Astros and outfielder George Springer agreed Thursday to a one-year deal to avoid arbitration, owner and chairman Jim Crane announced.

Financial terms were not disclosed, but MLB.com is reporting the deal is worth $21 million.

Springer, 30, had been seeking $22.5 million in arbitration while the Astros had been offering $17.5 million.

Springer was selected as an All-Star for the third straight season in 2019, setting career highs in batting average (.292), home runs (39), and RBIs (96).

He has hit at least 20 home runs in five of his six seasons for the Astros and was named the 2017 World Series MVP when Houston defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games.

According to the Associated Press, Springer can earn additional bonus money this year, including $200,000 for regular-season MVP, $175,000 for second, $150,000 for third, $125,000 and fourth and $100,000 for fifth. He would get $100,000 for World Series MVP and $75,000 each for an All-Star selection, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger and League Championship Series MVP.

BOSTON -- Red Sox All-Star Xander Bogaerts, addressing the sign-stealing scandal that cost Boston manager Alex Cora his job, said Thursday he doesn't believe MLB's investigation of the team's alleged practices in 2018 taints their World Series title.

"Nah, absolutely not," Bogaerts said. "We came to the park every day, we worked hard, we practice hard, worked as teammates and had each other's back. We had a great coaching staff along with that. Playing at home during the first games of the World Series, those are really, really huge and we took advantage of that right away and we had a great run."

Bogaerts was the first member of the championship team to address allegations that the Red Sox used their video room to illegally steal signs in 2018, which MLB is now investigating. This follows the investigation of the 2017 Houston Astros using a different scheme to illegally steal signs, which implicated Cora -- then the Astros bench coach -- and resulted in the Red Sox parting ways with their manager on Tuesday.

Bogaerts, who's in town to accept the Red Sox MVP award at the Boston Baseball Writer's Dinner, said he's seen Cora since the news broke that he would not be returning in 2020 but remained mum on the details of their conversation.

"I've talked to him a couple of times," Bogaerts said. "It's just sad that he won't be our manager and just the person that he was to us. There can't be no person in that clubhouse that has an issue or has something bad to say about him."

Bogaerts said he has not yet spoken to anyone from MLB about the investigation into the team, and declined to comment on the process.

"MLB is going into that," Bogaerts said. "They're busy doing their investigation. For me, 2018 was a special year."

Despite Houston eliminating Boston in the first round of the 2017 playoffs, Bogaerts gave credit to the Astros and did not play down Houston's World Series title. When asked about MLB's findings on the Astros' sign-stealing tactics, Bogaerts said he had never noticed anything out of the ordinary when playing games in Houston.

"They had a good team, man," Bogaerts said. "They had a great team that year. Obviously we had a couple of guys that went down with injuries. ... Playing in that park is not easy and those guys had a great team."

Bogaerts said the first time he heard about the Astros using cameras, monitors and trash cans to steal signs was when the initial report dropped, adding that he had never seen any of that while playing in Houston.

"I had no idea," Bogaerts said. "I'm going to be honest, that place is so loud."

Cora and Bogaerts maintained a close manager-player relationship. The Red Sox shortstop credits his former skipper as a major reason he took a step forward, putting together a career year in 2019, hitting .309/.384/.555 with 33 homers and 117 RBIs and finishing fifth in voting for the American League MVP award. Bogaerts said he'll miss working with Cora every day.

"He helped me get to the next level that I was trying to reach. I'm very thankful for him," Bogaerts said. "Always was a fan of him as a person, especially when he was doing the TV stuff. Even when he was in Houston, seeing him on the field, he's such a smart baseball guy. When he came over here, he pushed all of us to heights that we obviously wanted to reach."

Bogaerts said it was "really strange, honestly" to not have a manager with less than a month before pitchers and catchers report to spring training. When asked what qualities he wants in the next Red Sox manager, Bogaerts responded with his old skipper still on his mind.

"Someone like him," Bogaerts said. "The first he came here and we won and everything came so easy. Last year, we had some rough stretches, but we ended the season over .500. Obviously that's not where we wanted to be, but he did a great job with us man, and it's hard managing 25 guys and keeping them all of the same page and not letting that break apart is something not easy to do."

Carlos Beltran's time as New York Mets manager is over before it really began, with the former outfielder stepping down Thursday afternoon.

The only player named in MLB's investigation of the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, Beltran becomes the third manager to lose his job this week on the heels of AJ Hinch's exit in Houston and Alex Cora's departure in Boston.

Given the unusual nature of Beltran's short-lived time as a skipper in New York coming to an end, here are the answers to some key questions about Thursday's news and the expected fallout.

Wait, Beltran wasn't disciplined by MLB, so why are the Mets firing him?

The statement by the Mets made it clear that they believe Beltran had been truthful in his dealings with them, so it wasn't about him misleading the club during the interview process. However, it's not like Beltran is a seasoned big league skipper with years of credibility built up in that role. He's never managed a day in his life. So what were the Mets after when they hired him? Someone with a reputation for integrity and leadership, and a positive image to sell to fans as the face of the franchise. Fair or not, Beltran's role in the Astros scandal, which was explicitly spelled out in Rob Manfred's report, undermines all of that. A clean start for both sides makes sense, even if the timing stinks.

Are the Mets part of MLB's investigation or is this just about Beltran?

As far as what has been reported thus far, the Mets' only role in these emerging scandals was in hiring Beltran. They of course did so before these stories began to break. For them, once they hire Beltran's replacement, this should be the end of their part of the story, barring further allegations.

Is this the first time a manager has lost his job before managing a game with his new team?

Believe it or not, this has happened before.

In addition to the brief statement released by the @Mets, Carlos Beltran just provided me with some additional comments: "Over my 20 years in the game, I've always taken pride in being a leader and doing things the right way, and in this situation, I failed... cont.

In 2004, the Diamondbacks hired Wally Backman to replace Bob Brenly shortly after the World Series ended. Just four days after Backman was introduced, and long before he managed a game, the club discovered that Backman had been arrested a couple of times and had battled some severe financial problems. Though the club was at least partially responsible for the situation by not completing a background check before announcing the hire, Arizona fired Backman and replaced him with Bob Melvin. Backman still has never managed in the majors, though he reportedly was close to getting the Mets job when they hired Terry Collins in 2011. He has managed in both the affiliated and non-affiliated minor leagues for years, including the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League last season.

Another comparably short reign was the one-game tenure of Eddie Stanky for the Texas Rangers in 1977. He was not hired as an interim skipper but as the permanent replacement for Frank Lucchesi. Stanky led the Rangers to a 10-8 win in Minnesota on June 22 in his first -- and last -- game for Texas. After the win, Stanky talked excitedly about his new team and even discussed some plans with his coaching staff for how he'd run spring training the following season. The next morning, a homesick Stanky was on a plane back to Alabama, telling the Rangers' brass that he never should have left his family in the first place. Connie Ryan was named interim manager.

So where do the Mets go from here?

Luckily for GM Brodie Van Wagenen and Mets owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon, they had already gone through the interview process this winter, which isn't the case for the Astros or Red Sox. New York should be able to move fast to fill the void. At least a couple of the interviewees -- Joe Girardi and Derek Shelton -- are off the market, having been hired by Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, respectively. But others, such as ESPN's Eduardo Perez and Nationals coach Tim Bogar, presumably are still available. As are veteran skippers Buck Showalter, Dusty Baker and John Gibbons -- all rumored to be in the running for the Astros job. The Athletic reported that Mets coach Luis Rojas also will be considered.

The other thing to consider is that while it's always tempting to paint this as an "LOL Mets" story, the speed with which this scandal has emerged and Beltran's role in it would have been tough to suss out ahead of time. Perhaps we can give New York a pass ... this time.

Will Beltran work in baseball again?

That's an open question because there has been disagreement about whether Hinch, deposed Astros GM Jeff Luhnow or Cora will work in baseball again, and each of them had a lot more success in their roles than Beltran, who hasn't managed a game in his life. To know whether Beltran gets another shot, you'd really have to have insight into the relationships he has built across baseball. Reportedly, there were a couple of teams interested in him for managing gigs whom he declined to interview with because he'd zeroed in on New York. Those teams probably aren't inclined to ring him up anytime soon. For others, let's give it time. A public-facing job such as what the modern managing gig has become seems unlikely for quite a while. But perhaps if he wants to, Beltran can work in a developmental or junior executive role as he seeks to rebuild credibility. Or maybe he'll just sail off into retirement. After all, he earned around $222 million as a player.

How much does this impact Beltran's legacy as a player ... and his Hall of Fame chances?

Leaving aside the question of whether it should affect Beltran's Hall chances, it would be naive to think that this scandal won't hurt him. The Astros' 2017 title was a boldface item on his résumé because his veteran leadership had been viewed as a crucial component in Houston getting over the hump, even as his on-field skills were waning. Now many are going to look at that role and think, sure, he was providing leadership, but it wasn't the right kind. And there are a lot of voters who love to get indignant about things, so unquestionably some will leave Beltran off their ballot because of this. His Hall case wasn't a clear-cut one in the first place. Objectively, his résumé is strong enough to merit selection to Cooperstown, but it's not a slam-dunk case. This is certainly not going to help Beltran with voters on the fence about him.

Are there any other names that could come up like Beltran did here?

One would think that we've exhausted our list of villains from the Astros scandal, especially since the scope of baseball's investigations seems to be fixed on late in 2017 and beyond. However, we still don't know who beyond Cora might be implicated in the Red Sox investigation. We still don't know whether other teams are going to emerge as offenders in separate allegations. Beltran's parting of ways with the Mets won't be the last word on this issue. Baseball and its fans have to hope the rabbit hole only goes so deep.

The temptation would be to deem the Carlos Beltran Era as classically Metsian, with the rookie skipper getting fired -- or stepping down or getting pushed out or whatever euphemism you prefer -- before he managed a game, or even before he opened a spring training meeting.

But this wouldn't be accurate. With all due respect to Marv Throneberry, Bobby Valentine's mustache and glasses, and Yoenis Cespedes' wild boar, this isn't Metsian at all. Because in the first month of what will be an incredibly important year, the Mets got lucky as hell. They were so fortunate with how this played out that Fred and Jeff Wilpon should buy some lottery tickets today, in the hope they can buy out Steve Cohen's share of the team. This was a rare case of the baseball gods rescuing them, rather than laughing at them.

Richie Gray has targeted trophies with Glasgow Warriors after agreeing a two-year deal to return to the club for the start of next season.

The Scotland lock, 30, began his career with 47 games in a four-year spell at Warriors and is incoming head coach Danny Wilson's first signing.

Gray spent a season at Sale Sharks before three years at Castre and then a move to French Top 14 rivals Toulouse in 2016, winning the title last term.

"I can't wait to come back," he said.

"We were still at Firhill when I left and the club has made big moves forward since then. To come back and play at Scotstoun in front of my family and friends was a huge factor in my decision.

"I've learnt a lot and gained a lot of experience, and been part of a successful side over the last couple of years. I want to bring that experience back to Glasgow and win titles with the Warriors."

Wilson, who replaces Dave Rennie as Glasgow head coach next season, said that "passionate" Gray will be an "excellent addition".

Gray, who featured for the British and Irish Lions in the 2013 tour of Australia, won the last of his 65 Scotland caps against Italy in the 2018 Six Nations and opted out of selection for last year's World Cup.

A head injury made him unavailable for the Six Nations squad named by Gregor Townsend on Wednesday, but the head coach says he could still play a part in the tournament.

CONCORD, N.C. – Seventeen-year-old Corey Heim has joined Venturini Motorsports to compete in multiple events across the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West.

“I am really looking forward to getting into one of Venturini Motorsports Toyotas and hitting the track this season,” said Heim. “Last year was a step in the right direction for me and I think with everything I learned and Venturini’s amazing track record in ARCA, we will be a threat each and every week we show up. It’s going to be a lot of fun running in all three ARCA Series and I’m looking forward to racing on short tracks, dirt tracks and road-courses.”

Hailing from Marietta, Ga., Heim made his ARCA debut last year with a fifth-place finish at Florida’s Five Flags Speedway. Continuing to run a partial campaign throughout the season, Heim tallied up 11 more top-10 finishes and seven top-five finishes, leading 15 laps in 12 additional races. All of this was coupled with Heim running late model stock cars and super late models throughout the Southeast.

“In continuing with our goal to make our driver development program as strong as possible, I am excited to welcome Corey Heim as the newest addition. He was a tough competitor on-track last season and I am glad to have him as part of our program so we don’t have to race against him this year,” said team owner Billy Venturini. “Heim has proven himself to be a threat each week and will only help us continue to expand our ARCA East and West Series programs.”

Heim’s schedule will include the short tracks, dirt tracks and road courses that make up the three ARCA schedules. Kicking off the year, Heim will see ARCA East action at New Smyrna Speedway before heading to Five Flags Speedway. He will make one more East start at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, along with two West Series starts at Sonoma Raceway and Phoenix Raceway. Rounding out his busy schedule will be two ARCA starts at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds and Kansas Speedway.

STATESVILLE, N.C. – Natalie Decker will pilot the No. 44 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series on a part-time basis during the upcoming season.

Decker will make her debut with Niece Motorsports in the first race of the 2020 season, at Daytona Int’l Speedway.

“Change is inevitable, change is expected and exciting, and change is also frightening,” said Decker. “But this year is a year I’m ready for. I have never felt so prepared with my health, in the gym, and mentally. There are so many things to be excited about working with Niece Motorsports, starting with my teammates Ross and Ty. I’m ready to learn from them and be 100% open minded going into the season.”

Decker made 19 starts in the Truck Series last year for DGR-Crosley.  Decker joins Ty Majeski, Ross Chastain and Carson Hocevar, who will all race for Niece Motorsports this year.

“We are excited to have Natalie join the team,” said team owner Al Niece.  “Natalie has shown a lot of talent, and we are excited to see her continue to develop that at Niece Motorsports.  We are certain we will put her in competitive equipment that will really give her a chance to shine.”

TULSA, Okla. – NTT IndyCar Series young gun Santino Ferrucci may not have been anywhere near the A-main during Wednesday’s preliminary program for the Lucas Oil Chili Bowl Nationals, but he was having a blast all the same.

Ferrucci, whose deal to run the Chili Bowl with support from David Byrd made plenty of waves coming into the week, piloted the Jody Rosenboom-owned No. 18s Boss-Fontana in his maiden attempt at the Super Bowl of Midget Racing on Hard Rock Casino Qualifying Night.

He’s one of three Indy car drivers racing in this week’s Chili Bowl, and had never even been on dirt before a non-winged sprint car test session in Arizona in December before the holidays.

And for good measure, the 21-year-old Connecticut native pulled a pill that placed him on the front row of his heat race, starting alongside five-time Chili Bowl champion Sammy Swindell.

Talk about being thrown to the wolves in a hurry.

While that heat race didn’t exactly go according to plan, Ferrucci hung tough and eventually put on a solid showing in his C-main Wednesday night, racing from 11th to end up one spot short of transferring.

It was a feel-good finish to a day that started off “pretty crazy,” and had Ferrucci all smiles afterward.

“So, let’s be real, from where we started the day to where we finished it, this was pretty good, right?” Ferrucci said. “I got my ass whooped in the heat! Starting outside of Sammy was only good for taking the photo, basically, because I was so far in the back by the time we got to turn one, it was hilarious. But I had a blast, and when I got to the back, I started to learn a little bit about the car and learn a little bit about the track that helped me later on.

“Then starting in the back of the C-main, you know, it was a help for me to get accustomed there for the first couple of laps,” he added. “And then when we went to yellow, it was kind of an opportunity where I finally started to pass cars and avoided a couple that spun. From there I was getting ready to make a move for the transfer spot, and just got a little rowdy with the guy coming from fifth, but I made sure I put him in his place going toward the line (laughter).

“I had fun and it was a blast. This is so cool and it’s just been an honor to be here so far this week.”

Even as he learned session by session, Ferrucci said the amount of information he was having to take in as he went through the night was exponential.

“Man, the learning curve here has been pretty big,” he noted. “I mean, I wish I’d started my heat where I finished my C-main … but the learning curve is huge here and it’s all about trust in your right foot and trusting your hands and seeing what you can do. At the end of the day, I just decided that I just needed to freaking throttle it in there, get it sideways, hold my foot on the gas and see what happened. Because the worst things I could do was either I was going to spin her out or kiss the wall.

“Once I got up on the cushion and I started to feel what it was like, I got real comfortable really quick and I think I was able to start making some moves. It felt that way, anyway!”

In spite of his 100-lap test at Canyon Speedway Park in Arizona last month, Ferrucci explained that there was only so much he was able to take from that experience that applied to his Chili Bowl debut.

“I think getting the feeling of driving on the dirt translated well. But when you come here, the track’s changing so much and everything’s so different that it’s almost never the same from one race to the next,” he said. “It’s funny; like, there’s no pressure for me to do anything, and I’m here having fun, but you don’t realize that there’s pressure to not make a total fool of yourself. But in the C, once I was able to loosen up my grip and not be so erratic and just get comfortable and get breathing again, I think it really showed and made a difference.

“That, to me, was the thing that transferred the most.”

With one night under his belt now, Ferrucci isn’t only worried about continuing to have fun.

He’s got at least one specific goal for the finale on Saturday, and that’s something he’s excited about.

“I learned a lot and going into Saturday, and no matter where we start or what main we’re in, I think I can at least advance once,” he noted. “For me, that’d be the goal, is just to pick up more seat time, try and move forward and see what we can do. But I’ll say it again; I’m having a blast. I really am, man.”
