I adore Vladdy and want him to put it all together. But he can be a frustrating player to watch.

His defense isn’t phenomenal despite the gold glove. He’s not a particularly good 1b. He’s average but let’s not fool ourself that he’s a great defender out there. At this point I’d feel much more comfortable extending Bo than Vlad. However I think Bo wants to test the FA market more which is a conundrum.
