Transcript courtesy of by ASAP Sports. Q. What’s the last month been like reveling in your championship? BRUCE BOCHY: It’s been good. It’s been quiet the last two, three weeks, though. Took a little vacation down in Florida. Got a little fishing in. Spent Thanksgiving with some family. But it was fun to look back and reflect a little bit on everything and what a special season it was, which I hope everybody does. It’s pretty cool what happened. You have to savor these things. It’s been a good month. It’s good to catch your breath. I’m not going to lie about that. Q. Have you had any discussions with the club about changing your contract or an extension? BRUCE BOCHY: Oh, no, no. I’m under contract. No, no. I haven’t had any discussion, no. Q. You were able to have a conversation with Jim Leyland after he got in?

BRUCE BOCHY: I missed him. He went back and I talked to Tony, and he said that he had already flown back. I am disappointed I missed him. I’ve staying at home. I haven’t been hanging around here all day, but I’ll find a way to get ahold of him, and that’s pretty cool. Q. Pretty thrilled when you heard the news? BRUCE BOCHY: I was thrilled for him. Absolutely thrilled. He has done a lot for the game. A tremendous job he did managing. It’s good to see him getting rewarded like this. A special day, I’m sure, for him. I couldn’t even imagine how he felt. I’ll catch up with him at some point. Q. When you look at the club, what do you think you guys need to repeat? BRUCE BOCHY: Well, first of all, I love what we have here right now as far as guys not being free agents, the core guys that we have. Particularly you look on the positions side, it’s nice to have all these guys coming back.

Yeah. We’re missing — we’ll have some that are free agents. Mitch Garver, that’s not going to be easy to replace. Not that that can’t happen, but he’s a free agent. Jankowski, Grossman, those guys did a tremendous job for us, with what we went through with injuries, and they played a huge part in our success. I don’t want to leave anybody out there on the pitching side. Even if you look at even somebody like Will Smith, he played a big role in helping us get to where we got there. I think if you look at our club, I think it’s fair to say we’re looking at a starter to see if we can get a starter there. An arm in the pen to help out there. We’re looking at our best options as far as maybe a bat. These are things that we’re talking about no
