Junis up
Santos down

Trying to figure out why Hjelle came up for one inning of relief and Junis is starting today when he's been awful in AAA (of course, he's looked good in his two outings with the Giants thus far. Kinda like Baragar was last year).

“Vet” vs “rook”?

Was reading that Junis will start today. Two questions:

1. Why not Rodon?
2. Who gets sent down, Santos?

1. In hopes you'll coin the phrase, "line up shittery"...

Wouldn't be shocked if Longo is activated and starts today. Flores to IL with back stiffness?

I can see that happen. They mentioned during last night’s game that Flores was a bit beat up.

 

[tzill]

Longo activated, McGee to IL.

That was mentioned in one of the other threads, so I included it in my last update

 

[Hangman]

Dumb trade. A young pitcher who is pitching great for a 27 year old infielder who can't hit

 

[tzill]

Per Baggs:

The Giants sent Mike Ford back to the Mariners for cash considerations. They had previously acquired him from the Mariners for cash considerations. It's unclear who got more cash in this whole thing.

Surprised the Giants were not able to work a trade for Beede.

He will have a decent MLB career. He was simply a roster-crunch casualty for us.

Surely he would have by now...?

Surely he would have by now...?

Not necessarily. He has been battling injuries the last few years and 2020 got in everyone’s way

The Pirates do seem to like picking off players the Giants jettison. It is surprising that the Giants didn't get anything. Maybe the Pirates just didn't have an middle infielder to FZ's liking.
