Pete batting at Mendoza levels doesn’t shock me at all - and he chose to leave for greener pastures. On the flip, a lifetime .263 hitter crushing an average at Ted Williams levels after being kicked out the door by trade does.
Pitching wins championships IMHO so I’m 99.9% behind this (won‘t be too thrilled if they can’t resign).
Still feels like the LAD invitational, so I’ll only get so giddy, but at least there’s hope now for the near future.
Prefer Vientos gone to Baty (I can't stand slower than dirt base-runners unless they can mash countless HRs a year like Alonso). But if Bichette is taking over 3B, it will likely be Baty that is gone.
