Following the 4 year $45 million extension of Geraldo Perdomo last week, I posed in one of the Dbacks communities that general manager Mike Hazen just did it again and asked what if Geraldo Perdomo is the next Ketel Marte? This comment was met about how you would expect. The gist of the responses was I shouldn’t be disrespecting Ketel Marte by comparing him to Geraldo Perdomo. However, let me explain. Let’s rewind the clock a bit shall we?
The year is 2016 and Mike Hazen had just taken the job as the Dbacks general manager in October.
