If he think's he can get more money he's going to opt out. How the nationals play has nothing to do with it.

Well see how it goes, but they've made such an effort to add analytically minded people throughout the minors recently that I find it hard to believe this flies.

Was there any doubt he was getting a hold of one? He was all over every pitch he swung at.

Bennetti shouting out @mlbrandomstats has gotta be so cool for that kid

One of the Mets coaches and Ricky saying something like this literally days apart is laugh out loud funny

Would have been opposed to a multi year deal then too.

Nobody not named Ron hates Abreu.

I want to be able to cut bait from a useless player as soon as possible, not be stuck with him multiple years like they would have been with LaRoche. Like they are with Wellington Castillo. Anything more than a year and I'm out. The actual salary I'm not so worried about. Jose's not quite useless, but he's getting there and very easily could completely crater at pretty much any time.

I would just like to point out that Adam Laroche was a better player his last year in Washington than Jose has been in 2019

Abreu is swinging less at pitches out of the zone and less pitches in general than when he was actually good.

The only argument for it that I've seen is that players/coaches say it exists, therefore it does. But if it doesn't show up in the numbers, and it doesn't, who cares?

100% agree. Nelson Cruz hit substantially better in 2018 than abreu in 2019 and got 1 year 14 mil with an option. Granted he's older but not in any kind of meaningful way.

Or just someone who's read up on the matter

This is linked to the guy that allegedly put the hit out on Ortiz. Apparently used to launder money through ball players.

See, ole rick was on to something

Yeah, unless harper or machado could throw 6 innings on a consistent basis, they weren't changing anything about 2019

I have to imagine that would more than get it done.

I wouldn't think so it just made me chuckle

I was on there last week out of curiosity and it did not look like that Also that sounds conspicuously like whitesoxdave

Office Good Place Parks and Rec 99 pretty easy for me

He’s seriously amazing at his job

Whoever said this was bad marketing should spend like 3 minutes on social media today.

....yes. If he does this with enough frequency (beating an outfielder playing him in) they'll stop doing it and he'll be more than fine.

One of the least graceful moves I've seen a center fielder pull.
