There was never a major league player with the first name TYLER before 1993.   Now there have been about 50, the cutest one being Tyler Wade of the Yankees

I'm in mourning... Tyler's been designated for assignment. 😭😢

Just for the hell of it.

Tyler has been traded to the Los Angeles Angels.

Franco will Wander no more...

The final numbers on the deal are $182MM in guarantees. There’s a $25MM club option for a 12th season, and Franco has a series of $3MM escalators based on MVP voting that can max the contract out at $223MM.

Eventually the Rays will either move or get a new stadium.  Either way, they should be able to afford him by the 2nd half of the contract when he'll first be entering his prime, which should make the contract a steal by then.

Wander Franco finished third in the rookie of the year votes and couldn't because a free agent until four or five years from now. To be fair, his post season play was excellent.

 

St Louis outfielder Dylan Carlson finished third in NL rookie of the year. The Cardinals are a weathered team, I guess.
