Trevor has played less than half the games after signing his contract. That isn't exactly good. Yeah but it’s a 6 year deal instead of 11 years. The bar is pretty low. If he’s a 2-3 WAR player from here on out, we’re all set And $2.2 million lower AAV over those 6 years.

If he’s a 2-3 WAR player from here on out, we’re all set I feel like that “if he’s 2-3 WAR, we’re fine” is what people have said about Story, Masa, Verdugo, others at various times. It is probably true in individual cases. The problem is when you have seven 2 WAR guys in the lineup… not so good. That is… 2-3 WAR is not bad, but it is one more position that is not ~5 WAR. That outs a lot of pressure on the few guys who could be that guy.

Got a nice welcome back from this defense! (Loved seeing 97 from him)

Partial list of players I believe in: Garrett Whitlock, Trevor Story

Urias' stats aren't great with us but he looks like a major leaguer hitter to me. Like a knockoff version of Justin Turner.

His approach and eye are pretty good, and he seems to have gotten his defensive yips out. His career stats say he can impact the baseball too, but that's the one piece we haven't really seen yet.

Remember when Story came back and struck out a bunch in his first two games and a bunch of people freaked out? That was funny.

This offseason will be much more enjoyable if Trevor Story finishes the year with a good triple slash Is .368/.400/.579 good? 🤔

Yeah but it’s a 6 year deal instead of 11 years. The bar is pretty low. If he’s a 2-3 WAR player from here on out, we’re all set And $2.2 million lower AAV over those 6 years. Availability is important. It lead to the SH-T show I watched for most of the season in the middle. I was never a fan of X on defense and I wouldn't have paid him what he got paid. Just saying signing Story hasn't been great yet. Not that it won't be. Just like the other SS signings.

Dansby continues to destroy the Jays. Two-run double this time; 2-0 Cubs after 1.

I'm genuinely surprised that Story has come back as strong as he has while playing against The Best Players in the World, nearly all of whom had a five-month head start on him.

Agreed, but at least Story has been great when healthy and his pre-existing condition (which certainly reduced the sticker price substantially) should in theory now be resolved. I still think the odds of him being worth the money are good. X on the other hand... He might have it in him if he stays healthy, but I'm not optimistic.
