All I've said is that I want to see him do it again before I'm convinced he's a 850 OPS guy. For someone who had a career 617 OPS prior to 2026, I think it's fine to be a little skeptical. A lot of players have come out of nowhere to have a good to great season and then have disappeared again. He made some adjustments over the offseason, let's see if it continues to work out for him in '27. I'm just not penciling him in as a plus bat just yet. 

And its not like we dont have other options as backup plans. Im with you.  I think Mead is likely, maybe even very likely to be a game 1 starter for this team next year.  But lets see how he comes back, and keep in mind that we have plenty of options that he'll have to beat out.  Story/Arias/Romy/Sogard/Siegler/Monasterio.

Now if one of Story or ARias is playing SS full time and thats one less competitor for 2b, sure.  If one from that group is playing DH or Mead is playing DH, fine.

It may be a situation where Story is WS MVP, Arias proves hes ready in spring and we sign ARozarena in offseason.  Then what?
