Riley was the player I found most interesting to follow this season, and he has been nothing short of amazing.
I don't think folks fully appreciate the improvements he made, and how unlikely that progress was.
I did a breakdown of FG's packages for most available players. They pretty much nailed the prospect value it took to get Gallo, and the rest also seem fairly reasonable.

Do we send Smyly out for the 5th inning? I'm not a diehard adherent to the third-time-through approach, but he's thrown over 80 pitches and there have been a lot of baserunners.
I can't believe it. Smyly was cruising.
That makes the Acuña and Ozuna situations extra frustrating. With them and a real CF, this lineup would be unstoppable again.
And of course Mets get a lucky homer from Alonso.
This seems like an odd time to pull Smyly...
Why would his result against a dangerous RHH affect the decision with Dom on deck?
I rarely quote myself, but I just had to.
The bullpen now has to go five. yikes
His streaks are probably something we are going to have to get used to.
