He’s had a pretty bad last year and a half after a good 2021 season. MLB teams don’t wait long

Wasn’t sure on that either. It’s not like it was a signee that turned down college for the pros.

Not to mention you are also competing with the foreigners not in the draft

I guess I underestimated how people would think it was a knock on him. I posted it because it just happened and it illustrates how a supremely talented kid still has a steep hill to climb and a short time to do it.

I recently read a book "The Bullpen Gospels" that talk exactly about that. The struggle to keep playing and move up through a minor league system. maybe he'll get a non-roster invite to another club next spring.
