I just think they are extending the wrong guys. Bello's is fine, but maybe a little high. They should extend Crawford at cheap dollars if they can. They got NO movement on Casas. Why not try to figure something out on the big 3 if they really believe in them?
It's only a big deal because it's a dumb decision that happens over and over and over because control over a mediocre player matters for some reason. Like who cares?
Yes, I'm comparing him to two guys who really deserved to be pushed through the system. Mayer does not. He's been fine. He'll be promoted sometime in 2025 most likely.
Why have his AAV where it is early in his career when it could be below 1M? His arb years are probably set too high as well. I think it's a bad extension.
If he had a big year, the extension wouldn't have been much larger IMO. They are already paying him as if he can hit. He's overpaid if he doesn't figure out the bat based on other FA OFers that are good glove, bad bat.
I understand. If I'm quoting a post, it doesn't mean I'm necessarily criticizing the poster. It was just continuing the conversation about Bernardino being forced to AAA just because he had options and the worse pitcher did not.
@ChrisCotillo
Abreu went to left and Refsnyder went to right to start the game. They're supposed to be swapped. It was a pitch clock violation and an automatic ball.
This team does the weirdest s*** sometimes.
