I expect him to win the NL silver slugger and also probably get some down ballot mvp votes

I expect them to give it to goodman even though gabi should win

Im prepared to reignite the divisional rivalry if they do

He definitely has some tough competition but god, it just goes to show how awesome he has been this year. Winning a batting title AND being a gold glove finalist? Such a great year for him

This play alone should win him a glove. Idc about stats or numbers this shit was cool as hell

There was also that one towards the end of the season where he ran out in front of the plate and laid out to sling one over to 3rd. Can't remember when it was, but it was a game I was at so I could probably track it down later. Was one of the most graceful baller moves I've ever seen a catcher pull off.

You didn’t mention Perdomo, or was he not announced yet when you posted this?

u/Alert_Moment6224 Snaaake 12h ago

Not announced yet. But congrats to the frog king!

Checked again and Corbin and Vargas made it too, but not Nolan.

No more having to listen to Giants fans try to justify Patrick Bailey as a peer of Gabi

Who?

He doesn't even play for the Giants anymore. I only know this because he's on a postseason team. Cleveland, I think.

Would this not be the reason we no longer have to listen to Giants fans try to justify Patrick Bailey as a peer of Gabi?

Best catcher in baseball. Phenomenal year for Gabi!

Lock him up

u/RoseMusketeer Corbin Carroll 10h ago

He's going against Torrens and Fermin. Both of them had great seasons at catcher, but I wonder if Gabi's volume at catcher gives him the nod (over 200 more innings at catcher than the other two)

u/Do_Ye_Fear_Death Ryne Nelson 12h ago

In what universe doesnt the front office move to lock him down honestly. He and Corbin are the same age, both have extreme upside, and both are + defenders. Thats everything you'd want for a core to continue competing.

u/akj80 Serpientes 3h ago

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely want to extend Gabby. But catchers are risky and locking one up to big money for years is dangerous for an organization without an unlimited budget.

Also, it’s certainly possibly Gabby himself wants to hit free agency. I doubt this is the case, but you asked about possible universes.

I hate how we wasted Gabis great year 😭

u/Alert_Moment6224 Snaaake 10h ago

Don’t worry. He’ll have another ✊

u/Dragonroar2001 9h ago

Not a surprise, but good to see all the same!

u/NanceeV Diamondbacks 1h ago

Corbin C, Domo, Gabi and Vargy all finalists. Fingers crossed!

Can’t wait to see him on the dodgers or Yankees….😤

u/babobabobabo5 12h ago

Hes under team control until 2029, in what world would the Dbacks want to deal him?

u/Paythapiper Jody Jackson 11h ago

Do you not know our owner? You confident he will pay Moreno like a top 3 catcher?
