What did the Reds gain by keeping Matt Harvey last year?

The only way that Puig is extended is because the Reds overpaid. This is Puig's only chance for a big money deal while in his prime. Any agent that doesn't allow his client to hit the open market without a crazy money extension should be fired and never get another top client again. I know that fans of small market clubs hate this, but it's true.

You see nothing of the finer points.  Even when he wasn't hitting, he was playing great defense and having an impact.  You comparing Puig to Matt Harvey says it all.
