Yelich was probably one of the most valuable trade pieces in MLB when he had 3 years left on a cheap contract. The minute the ink was dry on that deal, he lost considerable trade value. They're in it for the long haul on Yelich now. Hope he can turn it around, because it's going to be a long road ahead. He's the face of the franchise, and signed a deal to solidify that long term. 150 at bats isn't going to change that. I can't believe that idea is even being brought up. I'm not worried that he's as bad as he's been in 150 ABs this year -- he's not. However, there's a reasonable chance that these last two years were the aberration and he's closer to the very good but not elite player that he was in Miami. Age isn't going to help. That alone would be a pretty painful outcome having just given him a lucrative extension.
