That is child abuse, those cruel bastards. Hinch and Scotty would have protected him until he was 22.
Say what you will about Harris, (and most of it would be true) but damn, the man sure can draft.
And Develop.

My Grandpa was right. Rainer is going to be special. Really special.
Rainer has hit so many “no doubters” recently… it’s ridiculous.
And… many of those “no doubters” were to straight away centerfield!!!
Kid has legit power. 30+ HR potential for sure.
My Guy! The next Aaron Judge.
Hoping Anderson gets the call up once rosters expand, otherwise I have no idea what the plan is for him. I don’t see McKinstry or Gleyber on this roster next year. Certainly not McKinstry. Let’s see what Anderson can do.
Is he on the forty man roster?
.
McKinstry will be a free agent after the 2027 season.
Are you thinking they trade him this offseason?
McKinstry and Vierling are redundant to a degree. Baez and McKinstry are redundant to a degree. Baez is by far the best defender of the 3 and is likely back due to sunk cost fallacy plus skill level. I can’t see all 3 back given the younger guys that came up or will be ready.

Valencia Liranzo Briceño Anderson Malgieri Callihan Meadows Baez McKinstry Vierling Perez for 5 slots. Plus FA. Plus Hope. and you know Rainer starts at AA and may be up by September if he rakes like he did this year.
Really looking forward to see what this kid can do.
The scouts and Tiger folks I have spoke to are extremely high on him.
You know someone else that is high on him too.
