Freddie is on record that he'll defer some money on his extension(and he will get extended) in order to keep Marcel here.


Freddie didn't say that. That was speculation from either DOB or Schultz, but I do think he would.

If we had had big Mike, we're playing tonight IMO. Losing him hurt bad.


I agree with this, but I also think it's a bit dangerous to just assume he'll be back to normal. That's a brutal injury and can be really difficult to recover from.

Mike is 22. He'll be fine. Wainwright had the same injury, same foot, is 36, and recovered fine. Him and Soroka had the same surgeon FWIW. And he's ahead of schedule recovery wise.

And you are right on Freddie. That was speculation.

Here's some more promising stats on Riley for those who want to give up on him:

91.0 MPH exit velocity and a .269 BABIP.

Ozuna had a .257 BABIP and a 91.8 exit velo in 2019. So pretty comparable #'s to Riley. And we all see the season Marcel just had. Riley hit into a lot of bad luck this year.

Riley will be fine. You guys giving up on him now will look mighty silly when he's mashing 35-40HR's and hitting .260 or so.
