I dunno about "rage," the dude was AWFUL this year. He had to go. That he acted out yesterday didn't help but it wasn't what got him optioned. Shitty pitching did.And will either earn him a non-tender, or a ST cut rather than a go at free agency.
And interesting to see a rage-demotion. I don’t remember the last time we have seen anything like that from this org. Melky and Guillen were not welcomed back, but those weren’t split-second rage decisions. MAYBE Rowand and Tejada getting cut on about the same day, but that was making a statement to the team that resting on contracts wasn’t going to cut it (my interpretation of those moves).
The corresponding move: LHP Thomas Szapucki recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.
