I'm happy for Alex, but how cruel he couldn't be there due to testing positive for Covid. As for Freddie Freeman, I'd never seen him interviewed before, but how can you not like the guy? Talk about genuine. As for Moreno..if he continues to crush in the AFL and impresses in spring training, does he make the team?
I think that's a luxury they have if someone comes at them wanting to deal for one of their other catchers, but I'm not sure they're going to throw him into the fire like that. Thing is, he could be good enough to be up very early on, which could cause a problem too, because if you don't clear a spot for him you have to wait until mid-season and are probably leaving wins on the table. I'd sure be comfortable with him being there from day one, but what do I know?
“The reviews we were getting on Gabriel Moreno were, I think, the best reviews I’ve gotten on any player in my 8 years at Baseball America.”
So…… better reviews than Vlad’s?
That's a great question. Seems implausible!
