How exactly do you think they can go about doing this? Can't fire him...can't even threaten to fire him because he won't care. Hell, that would probably just make him more defiant and doing even more stupid things.
I hope Maldy just talked the HPU into giving JV that pitch all day. That should be a strike for everybody.
Looking at his 2023 stats, I am glad for it. https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/33390/aledmys-diaz
I liked him a lot with the Stros, he was just always snakebit with injuries...he'd get hot, then get hurt. I'll admit I do have a fondness for quality utility infielders, it's not an easy job.
