Great to see both Crim and Lee going to Frisco.

The top bat in the 2023 draft is reclassifying and will now be in next year's draft.

 

[scotsman1948]

right now counting the 7 on the IL-60 we have 47 on the 40-man. Lyles and Holt are the only free agents after the season. so we have to find 5 more to DFA at the season's end just to get to 40 plus we have at least 5 or 6 that we have to add to the 40 to protect them under the rule 5 draft or face losing them. that adds up a total of 10-11 players that we have to cut, trade etc and that still doesn't leave any room for the obligatory level 5 FA's that JD likes to bring in

Right now, I would say the following probably are candidates to not get retained. I have included some free agents. If all 18 of these guys were released it would not impact us once we are back in contention.

Anderson
Arihara
Benjamin
Burke
Bush
Cotton
Folty
Herget
Lyles
Santana
Sborz
Wood
Culbertson
Ibanez
Tejeda
Martin
Peters
White

 

[DT LUNA]

Big Truck's 1st RBI

Terry is heating up. Hope he keeps it going.

Here's the right thread

As always, I’m keeping an eye on Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Arizona

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Why didn't IKF go to 2B on that missed groundout?

 

[Kelleyman]

Alfaroi is on the market

 

[DT LUNA]

Marsh was drafted from Swamp People University

 

[DT LUNA]

Garcia having a nice night

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

We can DFA Santana

There's plenty of cannon fodder on this roster

Pretty much the point I'm making, there's space for Jung this year and other guys next year

A lot of guys are just placeholders while some guys build themselves up after a year off due to COVID

[Senator_fan]

He seems really happy to be out of that Philly pressure cooker. I think he’s the best player out of last week’s haul.

Oh I agree but some of saddles’ 18 aren’t going to be released or traded. At least 6 will still be on the team

 

[Kelleyman]

This guy just continues to take care of business. Ate that cookie up. Crim
