Edit; no, Trey wasn't drafted until 2021 and it was the 2020 season that was shut down. But how about other players? Losing most or all of one their college seasons was still a loss for some guys coming out in 21 or 22. Quote

Yeah, I wonder if it stunted some of that generation players development? I remember hearing it really affected the drafts around that time since scouts couldn't see the players in action. If Trey was shut down in 2020, wherever he was playing, and still got drafted the following June? Maybe he wasn't really a 1st round talent? IDK... Quote

Bregman had an abysmal finish to last season. Would have fit in nicely with the rest of our lineup, but would not have helped. Quote
oblong Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I’ve always wondered if players coming up/out in 20 and 21 were screwed over in ways other classes were not. I say 2021 too because realistically you had two draft classes crammed into one. Limited looks and playing time. And then 2022 right there waiting. Wonder if any potential diamonds ended up fading away. Quote

The reason is Bregman didn’t really want to come here if he had the chance to go somewhere else and Harris wasn’t going to bid against himself. Quote
