Somebody Needs to Force Miggy to Stop Playing Hurt


This has to stop, now. It's clear that he's already injured, not producing, and only making the injury worse. We are paying this guy, I think, more than 200 million more dollars through 2025 including the options he will surely exercise. It is totally insane to continue playing injured and produce minor league numbers and beer league defense. He is injured. He needs to stop playing baseball while he is injured. This has happened each of the last few seasons - As soon as he gets hurt, almost always a hip or back injury or something of that nature, he just keeps playing, getting worse, and putting up bad numbers. If he does go on the DL, he inevitably comes back too soon, either not having Rehabbed at all or not having done enough.

Are our team's manager, general manager, and medical staff truly incapable of telling this man he cannot play baseball unless he is healthy? This is insane and must stop if we are going to get any value whatsoever out of this guy for the next decade.
