Miley's no hitter was a nail-biter like JV's last one because it was 0-0 until the top of the 9th when the Reds finally scored and took the lead.

I’m still a bit surprised a game that was 0-0 through 8 and Miley on the mound ended up taking 2:34

that screams a 2 hour game.

maybe it would have been but for that top of the 9th. That half inning took forever

It will be interesting to see how they handle that. Yordan is under team control until 2026. He’s a generational type hitter but is exclusively a DH and has questionable knees. Crane appears to shy away from the really long term contracts. I can see a Bregman type contract after next year, before he goes into arbitration.

He's in his age 24 season, what would you offer him? 8 year/200mm?

No way you have to go that high. He’s under club control for 4 years where the most he probably earns is $25-30M.  I’d say 6/$120M starting 2023 would be fair.

I realize that but I'd rather have him for his age 28-30 seasons at below market rate and not lose him in FA because I think he's irreplaceable. Pay him up front and lock him up long term.
