If Corey Seager is getting 10/325, Soto is deserving of more than that. Clearly he'll get PAID if he waits until FA. Why sign on with a team that just dumped everything not nailed down aside from himself?
Soto at 22 had 17.7 fWAR. Through age 22, Betts had 6.6 fWAR. Easier to compare that than say Wander Franco who signed his extension after only 70 games.
I don't think so either. I think Bello and Groome see considerable time in AAA before being called up.
Pannone is nothing but emergency depth. Being a local boy, I hope he gets called up.
I think even finding success against poor teams can be a win during development.
WOO started the season off against the Marlins affiliate (ranked #6) and the next series was against the Phillies affiliate (ranked #26). I think it all evens out at some point.
