I have to admit that I was one of the biggest advocates to trade Riley this offseason in the JTR talks. Boy am I glad that we did not let him go because this kid is on fire right now....
18 home runs this month between Gwinnett and Atlanta.

I’m not apologizing for wanting to trade Riley for Realmuto. It made sense at the time, possibly still does, and I’m still not sold that he’s going to be a great hitter. The power is legit though.

If the Soroka+Riley offer for JTR last trade deadline is true....wow.
I have said this over and over. Riley has consistently improved and then excelled at every level. It wasn’t some kind of quick explosion, but just so steady. I didn’t think he would do this of course, but I was against trading him. He just showed too much promise.
This is why you see what you have with prospects . No one really saw this happening, and that isn’t so uncommon. Many would have thought Fried was a movable piece also.
JTR is good, but we are getting great production from our catchers. I never wanted JTR for the price. Yelich would have been worth it, if the Marlins would have not ask for Acuna...but they did.
In the end...AA made the right decision on the Yelich trade and on not giving up too much with JTR. In the end he also got lucky, because Riley plus a top pitcher plus ...now appears to be a overpay.
