Noticed no ERAs under 3. I am thinking we get a couple of relievers with sub 3.00 ERAs

Bochy said he pretty much knew but WB was making the roster but wanted to break news first to the players. Really shkuld be end of day today but Bennie of course says he will wait until the last possible moment allowed by MLB. lol

[saddles]

Warner Brothers

The roster will include:

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Marvin the Martian, Porky Pig, Speedy Gonzales, Sylvester the Cat, the Tasmanian Devil, Tweety, Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, and Yosemite Sam.

 

[saddles]

Frim Shawn McFarland:

Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker have made the opening day roster, per Chris Young. They will be in the rotation.

 

[saddles]

Evan Carter did not make the roster.

 

[saddles]

Duran and Pillar are on the roster

 

[saddles]

I guess the Joey Gallo approach has worked for Leody, at least for now.

 

[saddles]

No Seager or Jung again.

 

[saddles]

From Jared Sandler:

Rangers expected rotation for the first 5 games

Thursday: Eovaldi
Friday: Leiter
Saturday: Mahle
Sunday: deGrom
Monday: Rocker

 

[saddles]

Dunning has been outrighted to AAA.

 

[saddles]

From Shawn McFarland:

Chris Young said that Patrick Corbin will agree to be optioned to make two minor league starts to continue his build up. They’re targeting April 11 for his activation to the MLB roster.

 

[saddles]

No word yet on the makeup of the bullpen.

 

[Kelleyman]

Who is WB

Misspelll he knew who not MB
Sorry

 

[Kelleyman]

No surprises on the roster so far.
I don’t think Church is on it
Preserve depth is their thought methinks
But he is more talented IMO

I wonder if the bullpen announcement is being delayed by there being a trade in the making.

 

[saddles]

Jordan Montgomery will have Tommy John surgery.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Jordan Montgomery will have Tommy John surgery.

And there were fresh articles yesterday about trading him and the DBacks eating half his salary, makes you wonder how long they knew his elbow was messed up...

Adam Morris thinks Tyler Phillips is a possibility
He made a good point re Duran is looking now like forever a full time sub. Haggerty has to be gone now
