Don’t really care about his status.  The guy has turned into David Fletcher with worse defense.  Any replacement is just fine. 

Same here.

It is. Well it was witty the first time.

i can't imagine this will be his last injury as a halo. we'll keep going through this for the rest of this season plus two more years.

i'd let him finish this season and then release him in october.

Cut him, eat the money, and be done with it. Begin the healing.

The annoying thing is that he caused his own injury by not running to first base properly.  
As he ran down to first, he didn't allow his body to flow in one motion.  He jolted himself just before touching the base, which caused his injury.  Had he not pulled up short of the bag there, and just kept on running in one smooth motion, he wouldn't have gotten hurt on that play.  It's just like Gio Urshela did last year when he jolted his own leg into the ground, rather than continuing a fluid motion.

So trying too hard is to blame.

This will be the fourth year in a row that Byron Buxton plays more games than Anthony Rendon. Buxton hasn't played in 100 games since 2017, the only time he did it.

Rendon should have slacked it at 85% total effort like an Olympian.

I was thinking at the beginning of the year to give him through say June 1, 2025.    At that point, Rendon is owed about $65 million, the amount they sent to Texas when trading Hackilton back to them.

Then what?  I mean right now we have something called Ehire playing in his place.

June 1 is still 13 months away.

This is a few days old, but still kind of amused me.

i was at the angels-phillies game last tuesday. saw two guys walking together. one of them wore a rendon jersey, and the other guy wore a wells jersey.

[Slegnaac]

Trea Turner to miss 6 weeks with left hamstring injury.

It will be interesting to see if Rendon makes it back before Turner.
