I think his Wins Above Replacement should be higher.

Sincerely,

His replacement.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The player with the most FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement in all of baseball for the 2020 season?

Cleveland's Jose Ramirez.

Is he suddenly the American League MVP favorite? At very least he's in the conversation with Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson: https://t.co/4261kv6YGF

@Monty2740 You think they put a hit and run on with two outs? That would be an interesting call. Great base running regardless

@PatMcAfeeShow If the Bucs win the Super Bowl it’s because of doing this when they didn’t have to. Talk about creating belief amongst your team. Cool to see from Bowles.

@CoachGilly6 @CODugoutClub Mental game. If you’re a mashed potato head, do the others matter? ☺️

Such an accurate take. Highlights the thought process behind teams. It’s a sport where you can be competitive and catch lightning in a bottle to win a championship, but an unwillingness to push past the break even point threatens to dismantle a dynasty. So many things have to go right for teams unwilling or unable to spend the money.

The Houston Astros have traded their best player, Kyle Tucker, and are letting go of Alex Bregman, who has the most WAR for them since his first full season in 2017. In the meantime, they will pay first basemen Christian Walker and José Abreu a combined $39.5 million in 2025.

The consequences of an unwillingness to go beyond six years on a contract reveal themselves in moments like this. Bregman and Tucker were drafted and developed by the Astros machine, which will struggle to retain its best talent as long as it places arbitrary restrictions on itself. This is an uncapped sport. The best players get more than six years in free agency.

The Astros remain formidable. A team with Walker, Yordan Álvarez, José Altuve, Yainer Díaz, Jeremy Peña, Framber Valdez, Hunter Brown, Josh Hader and more. They will be a contender and have the talent to win a World Series. But they are an objectively lesser team than last year, and that's no small thing in a close AL West.

@JesseRogersESPN An impending reassignment, designation and/or roster flexibility attribute to the early season IL placements. IL is better than the alternative for some.
Many guys pitch through the same injuries late in the season which explains some of the disparity.

I love this perspective. And it makes sense because it’s hard to find a more euphoric feeling than this kind of celebration. David Bote is a believer, I will share it with him.

[Greg Payne @greg_payne24]

I recently read about man who collects pictures of hitters who had hit walk-off home runs. He said that the reason he did this is because this is how he views us entering heaven.

Look at the faces of his teammates waiting to welcome him home. Look at their excitement. They can’t wait to celebrate with him.

Look at the fans. Arms raised, big smiles, maybe even hugs for a perfect stranger.

Perhaps this is your first holiday season without someone important who is now waiting for you in heaven. Maybe it’s just another one with that big hole in your heart and an empty seat at the table. Either way, I hope you can find encouragement in this picture, what it represented to the man who collected it, and find joy this year. #heaven #hope #joy #grief
