I dunno who downvoted this post but that was silly. Everything here is spot on.
I was a big Mateo defender this off-season but he’s no longer defensible and he hasn’t been for quite some time. The defense is no longer elite and has been bad in some recent big moments. He hardly ever gets on base so the speed isn’t really a threat to steal anymore.
Sad to see because he’s a good, likable guy with tremendous talent and I think he’s a good teammate but he needs to go. He’s worn out his welcome.
