The trio sat together for an episode of the Orioles’ The Chill spring training podcast on Sunday where they discussed various topics. Among the questions they answered was when was the last time they cried.

“I don't know, maybe when I got drafted that like my parents were emotional and it made me emotional for some reason. So I don't know, it's been a few years I feel like,” Jackson Holliday responded. (03:56 onwards)
