I don't really care what they do with Rafaela. Trade him, bench him, make him the starting CFer.
I also don't think people would be screaming about an extension for him as nobody is really upset over a lack of an extension for Hamilton, Slaten, Casas, Crawford, Houck, Abreu, etc. Wilyer has outperformed Rafaela since being called up in '23 and not one person has questioned the lack of extension. Using bWAR (favorable to Rafaela), Abreu has a career 5.5 war while Ceddanne is at 3.6. Where are the Wilyer Warriors banging the drum on getting this extension signed? He's a great defender AND mashes!
