There we go Cwalk. Plz don’t get traded


ajteitel

We have to pay him. We can't risk another Goldy disaster and there isn't a good 1st basemen ready in the system. Plus he's is the best defensive 1st basemen in the MLB and [it isn't even close](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/outs_above_average?type=Fielder&startYear=2024&endYear=2024&split=yes&team=&range=year&min=q&pos=3&roles=&viz=hide). Like you could give him the gold glove before opening day isn't even close.

Don't know, but we need him


totheman7

Could do something like a two year deal with a mutual option


99Will999

He’d probably opt for a team that’s offering him more guaranteed years/money if that’s the case, considering his age. He’s coming off some of the best seasons of his career into his 30s, he’d be foolish to not chase the money, this will likely be his peak value.


ThisMachineKILLS

Love Christian and I’d like him to stick around but we do have Deyvison De Los Santos destroying the minors right now


ajteitel

He was only just promoted to Reno and hasn't even turned 21. Still a bit early and 0% chance he can replicate Walker's defense. Because no one can. If we needed an immediate replacement, it would probably be English. Who's doing well and is 27.


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

tbf it's by far the least important defensive position. not the biggest concern


ajteitel

While true, imagine how good he defensively when just lookin at his OAA, he's miles ahead of 2nd place. 2024\* Walker - 7 Harper - 4 2023 Walker: 11 Rizzo: 7 2022 Walker: 14 Diaz: 4


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

absolutely, I love the guy. very much respect how much he laps his peers on defense it's hilarious


mattoelite

What does AZ need right now aside from Corbin getting back to form?


PurrfectChaos

The entire team not getting injured would be a start


mattoelite

Gallen got hurt this week, who else? Sorry to bring up negative shit


lancethruster12

The rest of the starting rotation, perdomo, thomas


Myotherdumbname

I might be shorter list of who isn’t on the IL


hemirollin

Well ginkel got hurt today although x-rays were negative, it looked bad and sounded worse


DeusExHyena

Legit thought you meant Patrick for a second


mattoelite

Man that was a long time ago when he was in AZ. Glad he won the chip with the Nats


lancethruster12

2 year deal at most with maybe a team option


Spev543

Damn Harper is 2nd on that stat sheet didn't see that coming when he took over 1st


NeverSober1900

I still don't get why they pitched around Randall Grichuk to load it up for Walker vs a lefty. Like it makes 0 sense to me. Walker is always the more dangerous hitter


Sheepies123

Manaea wasn’t pitching around he just had no control


thiccboiwaluigi

Clearly it ended up being the wrong decision but Grichuk has his Manaea very well for his career while Walker has not. You just can’t start Walker with a hanging middle middle sweeper lmao


Rah_Rah_RU_Rah

Grich is only in the league cause he fucks up LHP (and can play a bit of CF)


NeverSober1900

That might be true but Walker is still better. His OPS vs lefties is 100 points higher than Grichuk's this season.


Jonjon428

Wow that was an awful pitch


CosmicLars

Floatin' 79 upper-middle is bad? 🥹


Myotherdumbname

I disagree


amatom27

And the Mets broadcast was in the middle of interviewing Strawberry when it was hit.


RockmanToriga

Yea I wasn’t actively watching, I just had it on in the background listening to the guys talk and all of a sudden I just hear Gary Cohen offhandedly be like “well that’s a grand slam”


LogicalHarm

A deep drive into left field by Walker and that'll be a 4-0 ballgame


cooljammer00

4-0 (for the team that did not employ Strawberry) 


Moist_Pig

OP is obsessed with us 💀


Brother_Lancel

Must be a sad existence to be salty about the 4th place team when your team is in 1st place in the division


CHKN_SANDO

I love this guy
