On the "Diggin Deep" podcast, Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas had a message for Bobby Witt Jr., who said he thought he let the fans down after the loss to the Yankees:
Eric Hosmer: "You did the exact opposite. The product that those guys put on the field, the heart that they showed throughout the entire season, we want to let the boys in blue know, we are proud as heck."
Mike Moustakas: "All the fans are proud of you, and you guys played the game the right way and had fun doing it. This is just the beginning for those guys out there. Obviously, it hurts and stings, but when you show up to spring training next year knowing you are a playoff contender, it's a whole different animal."
