Discussion Nightmare That Haunts Us

https://www.mlb.com/news/victor-mesa-jr-traded-to-rays-from-marlins

smh, guy was in our system since 2018, only to get traded for a 19 yo lottery ticket.

i know we have a log jam of OFs but damn we spent so much time and resources trying to develop this guy.

and this is coming from someone who thinks most of Bendix trades have been pretty solid, this IMO is the worst and totally taints his reputation - mesa jr is the one who got away

Painful to watch 🤦🏽‍♂️. Almost 🐬-esque of the Marlins to trade him and see the progression on another team!! (Cough, cough, Van Ginkel, Hunt, Welker to name a few)!

Part of the frustration is it's literally Bendix former team. Maybe he's a spy for the Rays lmfao.
