He still has elite bat speed and good swing decisions. Good defensively.
He’ll be more engaged playing for something with a better organization. The injuries are my biggest concern.  Previous Message
But his production was terrible. 2025 was more him underperforming whereas 2024 he was just straight terrible.
He’s always hurt and expensive which doesn’t really matter for the Mets.
In 2023 his breakout he was mostly a guess hitter that punished hanging sliders and fastballs in the zone
He’s still a pretty good CF defensively
My take is that if you can get him to give a shit on the field the change of scenery might wake him up a little bit.
This trade to me is mostly crap with small upside for expensive crap with moderate upside.
