Watching Cardinals OF Joshua Baez (23) hit three home runs in his first three major league at bats was a lot of fun, but anyone in the prospect space had to contend with the question of when he was actually “ready” for the big leagues in 2026. Had to be before August, right? I mean it’s cool he did that in his debut, but it’s also pretty loud proof that they dragged their feet on his promotion. I have no doubt that he’ll face breaking stuff galore from here on out, but that was inevitable no matter when you gave him a chance. I don’t know. It’s not my job. I mean it’s job-adjacent for me, but it’s just about the furthest jacent you can find.
