Young emphasized the team's commitment to compete for a championship, acknowledging the challenges posed by formidable rivals in their division, including the Houston Astros and Seattle Mariners.
He expressed optimism about the addition of players such as Joc Pederson and Jake Burger, mentioning their potential to reinvigorate the team's offense, which had faltered last season.
