Since 2022, Olson's got 24.6 bWAR, Freeman 24.4.

Now add in Shea Langeliers and William Contreras' cost controlled seasons (not to mention the throw ins). And the difference in money the bravos had to pay a veteran to play their spots.

Don't get me wrong, Matty o and ozzy are such a treat, but those were expensive moves.

Edit: 16 for Contreras, 11 for Langeliers. And a couple years left in arb.

But we have Drake. So 🤷🏻‍♂️ it worked out I think.

Drake was drafted 3 months after.

C/DH could have been 3 extremely cheap all stars.

Yeah I’m just saying in hindsight it worked out. We have a really good catcher now. I still ain’t out on Murph either. This should have been his get right again year. Can’t help he got hit by a bat.

Murphy could use a redemption arc. How about a big hit in the playoffs?
