The preclusionary statement of what may happen in these circumstances seems extreme. Both may be unlikely based on XYZ, but neither are definitely impossible. That’s all I’m saying - tell me how you know (not think… KNOW) what will happen?
If you have facts of what will happen in the future with him that are undebatable and impossible to change/be wrong, please provide them and the source.

Obviously none of us can see into the future. But history has shown us that similar hitters do not age well and he won't just magically start getting better. He seems like a great guy, and for him, I hope he does reach that milestone. But if I was a betting man I would put down a very large amount of money that it doesn't happen. And I will feel very confident in that bet. I will say again, that only 2 years ago he didn't even reach the Mendonza Line. He just isn't as good as some people are claiming. Most players have peaked by this age. And according to BR he has never even finished Top 10 for a single season in the MVP voting. And we are talking about the HOF? Ummm, no.
