Its clear you don't watch the MLB playoffs, because random bad bat guys like Keirmaier become heroes extremely often.
See: Jeremy Pena, Yuli Gurriel, Harrison Bader, Martin Maldonado, Trent Grisham, etc. And those are just from 2022
Yeah I kinda feel like he won't get traded. Pirates see his value as a 6 WAR player and most other teams likely don't. The price will be astronomical and teams won't be willing to pay.
Near his family, back with Bryce and Kevin Long, same division he was used to playing in with the Nats. Must have liked it better in the NLE. Makes sense. The money was probably so close that its a wash.
I think he's proven he's a good hitter and its not just because of his speed. He can probably comfortably shift to 2B in a few years and still be above average. Definitely a risky deal for 11 years, but pretty much any deal longer than 8 years isn't a great idea.
