He's definitely in the minority.
I used to work in the product development department of a major life insurance company. We worked with actuaries all the time. Most were introverts, but there were a few who were not. Those were the ones who would get promoted to higher managerial positions.
Ok, I'll play.
As Neverover stated, he'll sign before the season starts. He doesn't want to be distracted during the season and wants it behind him.
He'll sign for 8 years with an opt out in 3.
