The ACL injuries drove his potential trade value down substantially. Consistent and various ailments since that time haven't increased it.
By the end of 2023 it was already too late to get the type of return that Arráez brought in.
I have to think once Correa was signed long term (with Lee on...
Probably hoping more than expecting.
Since the proposed trade partners also employ medical personnel, the trade return would not be anywhere near what Arráez garnered the moment Lewis crashed into the wall and tore his ACL a 2nd time, back in 2022.
More upside for Lewis, sure. However, Arráez has always had something that vanished ever since Royce slipped on the ice and tore his ACL.
He's healthy and continues to be able to pass physicals including when he was dealt for Lopez.
I redid March to the best of my memory. So far Willie Hernandez is the Leader in the Clubhouse at 4.
Willie is followed by Larry Doby, Gary Gaetti, Paul Molitor and Rod Carew (all with 3). Sounds like some RUNS!
Royce Lewis feels optimistic that he'll be back by the Home Opener (April 3). I'm still taking the Over on April 30 though.

At minimum, out for Opening Day in St Louis.

If back before May 1, I would be pleasantly surprised.
I would be fine waiting until post Draft to see what shakes out or even longer for any Training Camp/Salary Cap casualties. Others could later be available for modest future Draft compensation
Just the fact that he opens his yap weekly on a nationally syndicated radio/TV show would be seen as enough of a locker room disruption that gives me plenty of pause to move along to another direction.
I signed up but between clearing cookies/cache, using multiple devices and portal paths (there's another via MLB.com), I did not have any historical stats saved.
Honestly (and I'm not being flippent) Conference size and membership is pretty hard to keep track of these days.
There were a couple of match ups in the Bracket, where I was like..how can those teams play that soon from the same Conference? Then I realized that they aren't any longer.
Some are...
Umm, if that's bad how do feel about 14 of 16, which are currently in the SEC?
Last I checked anyway that's how many are in that Conference. They might have added Clemson & FSU since dinner.
