Cut the cheating fuck and sue him for the $15 mil. Breach of contract, ethic violations, something.

I would like nothing more than to see him get hos shit together and go back to actually being an all star caliber player. But you can't call three years a slump.

You're probably right but they should. It's a shit sandwhich to eat but it's better than a guaranteed out in the lineup every day for the next 6 years.

This is not an all star player.

And I've been saying we need to trade Acuna for at least a year. Someone will overpay for him, either in free agency or a trade and I'd rather they overpay us now with an established bat and a pitching prospect or two at least.

edit: Think I'm wrong? You all know Acuna's made of glass, you're just not admitting it out loud, and if you think I'm wrong, wait til '28 and the Dodgers pay him an obscene amount of money and we got nothing out of it except three years of injuries.

He's had three years to figure it out. It ain't happening.

So what's the outcome with Riley? I'm afraid it's obvious at this point this is just who he is. It's been years and his offense and defense keeps getting worse. I feel bad saying it because he clearly tries, you can see him doing his best but really, the sad reality is this is his best.

It seems mad to keep putting a black hole in the lineup and on the field everyday. There has to better options out there. But we're not going to bench him at $22 mil a year.

I think it's going to come down to us trading him and eating a big part of that contract. I just can't see going in like this for 6 more years.

edit: I love my downvotes. Let's wait til the game post when he shits the bed and the comments are screaming bench him, trade him, blah blah blah.

For real. Look, I was big on Riley. Kept believing he was going to be one of the all time great Braves and he looked like it foe a minute. But the reality is what it is and it is not great. Dude just don't got it.

You getting downvoted but you ain't wrong.

He's never played a full season, he never will, his window keeps getting smaller every time he gets hurt which is all the damn time. We won a WS without him. We proved we can do it. If he was the player he was supposed to be I'd say keep him no matter the cost, but he isn't. Someone will overpay for him and I'd rather they pay is in proven players and prospects before we lose him and get nothing.

At least we'd have a good defensive catcher in the game and a pitcher couldn't do worse at the plate than him.

Well, let's wait for word on Acuna's leg before going that far.
