[DC 86]

Cast your vote for when we might see Tommy Listella this season. I'm saying June 1. He couldn't trot out to the third baseline for player intro. He walked...slowly. I'd like to be wrong, but this is the second year I consider him a $10 mill mistake. That was the $$, wasn't it?

La Stella's contract is backloaded; he makes $5.25 million this year, but will make $11.5 million next year. Only once in his career has he posted bWAR above 0.6 (1.9 back in 2019). Even if his achilles isn't torn, an injury in that area doesn't sound good.
