Watch much baseball?
You can be high on Mayo as you like but it's not a 100% lock that he puts up a 105 OPS+ for his career or a 102 OPS+ for the season.
I'll be shocked if he gets hit with a DFA next year. He's probably going to sign a pretty lucrative FA contract in the off-season and those guys get a lot of rope.
I didn't particularly want to get rid of a power lefty arm.
Those guys have a history of taking a bit long to mature.
I ain't going to pretend that I was all sorts of upset about it, but I'd have rather kept him.
Solid refutation of my points.
He's a weak side platoon DH that doesn't even flat out crush lefties.
He can't field at all and runs slower than the backup catcher.
