Should I sell high on Pete Crow Armstrong, Nick Pivetta, Turang or CJ Abrams? Or do we trust they’ve reached the next level?
One Suzuki wasn’t available, let alone 3. Free agency isn’t about paying a player for what he is going to produce, it’s about paying the market rate for an available player, emphasis being on available, and that’s not factoring in age, geography, available funds, etc. Breaking it into “this player is making $x and is doing better” is like comparing apples to baseballs.
