There have been no new concerns levelled from Raffy today. He must have squashed his beef last night when hanging out with Bregman (very fluent Spanish speaker).
Raffy always looks heavy. When has he not? 2017?
Bregman is a vocal clubhouse leader. Dhevers is not. Does this mean that 3B should be handed over without a conversation? Of course not. However, Bregman will play a bigger role in creating the culture of this team in '25 even though Dhevers has been here since he was a teenager.
And now reading through people's posts, we're continuing an annoying telephone game where some of us are even assuming future actions from Raffy that may never even happen. We just love to get worked up on here.
I think it's a little bit of a stretch to compare it to the Nomar situation. I remember listening to the radio when Nomar's bizarre interview happened in Spring Training. He was really pissed off and showed that he really didn't want to be there at all. Raffy isn't at that spot yet. He came in early to camp and still believes in this team.
I appreciate having to go back 50 posts to figure out who y'all were talking about (Kutter for anyone else that doesn't want to have to go back to Sunday's posts).
Yeah, Cora was certainly part of "the previous management" too. He should have spoken with Devers about the expectations going forward at some point. Maybe he did and Raffy is just frustrated. Who knows...
Devers would have had more games if not for 2020.
20.4 fWAR - Sandoval (2.6 average ages 25-27)
25.5 fWAR - Devers (4.2 average ages 25-27)
Trending "somewhat better" is being much too kind to Pablo.
