we didn’t replace tinney and Robbins

I suggest you go look at Ian Armstrong's stats and compare them to Carson Tinney's final year at Notre Dame.

Smart kid (or agent) leveraging the portal for a larger signing bonus. Really no reason not to in his position.

It gives him negotiating leverage with the team that drafts him.

Monster talent.

Might be a bit of a stupid question, as I'm still learning about everything baseball but if he's a first round draft pick, is he worth pursuing? Didn't Texas get burned last off-season by two guys who were draft picks and said they weren't going, only to then end up signing?

it's all for negotiating his money (Draft Slot), if he doesn't get the amount he wants, he just follows his coach to South Carolina and re-enters next year. he'll get his money unless the Mets draft him because they're idiots.

Yes we lost 2 guys that we got in the portal to the draft last year

Yeah, and I believe both said they would not do that.  I also think we lost one or two high school guys who were drafted fairly low but went pro anyway.
