He’s out of his depth knows it and is desperately hoping to hide it from everyone else. And by doing so is making it so abundantly clear that that is in fact the case.
I said in another thread earlier this winter that extensions would be the biggest off-season/ early season development for me, and I stand by it. It will be a huge indicator of how they plan to run their business. Are there currently any teams that don’t give out early extensions? I would imagine the A’s don’t. Marlins as well. Basically the two cheapest teams in baseball.
How soon can sign him to an extension? Joking, but if all continues to go like it looks like it is now, I’d think a pre-debut extension like Luis Robert took signed a few years ago may be on the table. Granted for substantially more money.
It’s very exciting, but yea, also only 11 PA. I think there’s a shot he’ll be on the OD roster next year though. But I won’t hold my breath.
Pivoting: Let’s say Ortiz comes up this year and is a legit ROY candidate playing GG level SS. What do we do?
