I was just about to head to bed and did one last scroll of the timeline and saw this. In gonna sleeping happy tonight. Curious how we are going to handle Escobar and Baty. Baty is a young kid who can be packaged in a major trade probably down the line after he develops a little. Escobar might just become a veteran bench player. This batting order now has quite a bit flexibility. Can opt to bat McNeill and canha late in the order or slot them in the #2 hole to setup lindor+Pete.

Starting rotation is done, fielding positions are done. Can definitely handle having a defensive oriented catcher with the rest of the firepower in the lineup now. Alvarez can hang in the minors a little longer and develop. Just a bit more middle relief and I think it's a full roster

No one denies that Ronaldo is one of the all-time greats. So he doesn't get treated like shit for that.

The pushback is only against him acting like a diva and thinking that he is the "undisputed greatest of all time" (he's made tons of such claims throughout his career). He has a massive ego that he likes to stroke and people don't like that.

Definitely have more longevity in baseball. 15-20 yr careers for superstars aren’t out of the ordinary

A lot of players will develop power hitting later in their career once they figure out how to hit off MLB pitching with a wood bat.

Also players can move positions as they get older that require less athleticism. Correa can move to 3rd base (he’s a shortstop now) and extend his career by easily 5 yrs
