Probably a service time thing. Braves did it last year with Acuna and Cubs did it with Bryant. It the right call, give up 3 weeks for an extra year.

But to answer your question, Liberty Media is greedy and Alex Anthopoulos sucks.

Until it gets changed in the CBA, teams are stupid to NOT game the system

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. not ready for MLB and needs time to develop in minors, Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins says

That's all about the service time rules instead of him being MLB ready.

I don't have enough hands to raise. The ownership are penny-pinchers, and the front office spent the limited funds they got on hitters expecting us to win 15-14 games 81 times, when that strategy will be lucky to get us 40 wins.

Realistically can you blame them with how the MLBPA has bent over owners with no lube for 30 plus years, let alone Manfred seems cool with teams intentionally tanking while bitching about the fan experience? Maybe now that FO’s are using their brains service time won’t be a big issue by the next CBA, but guaranteed service time will have a different definition by the time that contract is ratified.
