If these are the 9 they're playing, why not put Pham in LF, and DH Benintendi?

Colas is also OPSing .630 away from Truist Field. I also wonder if the incident where he was benched for getting picked off of first base is more common than we've heard about. DeLoach's OPS away is .667.

I just Googled "crotch rocket". I didn't do much research.

Players have clauses that say they can't skydive or ride motorcycles. But teams don't usually park a van outside their house, and kidnap them when they're pulling the Ninja 250R out of the garage.

Good, because I hope Clevinger is hit in the head with multiple come-backer line balls by the Orioles, and retires to eat oil leaks in the ocean.

nevermind

Are you suggesting that teams spy on their players? And if they're doing things the team doesn't approve of, .... intervene?

The last three wins have been shut-outs. Crochet's got a bit of a scoreless innings streak going.

Right now, trade Kopech. That's like, his fifth clean outing as closer this year, right?

Shane Drohan showed up and threw baseballs. He won't be putting any of them on his mantle.

He and Colas were supposed to be two huge gets when they happened. I hope the Yankees get his World Series ring size right.

At this point, IL him and bring up Oscar Colas. Or sign Brandon Belt. I don't care. I have a strange feeling there's some reconning coming after Memorial Day weekend. (I don't know anything.)

Shane Drohan gets lit up in Winston-Salem. Maybe offer him back to the Red Sox now, and they decline.

People don't get a head rush thinking about a lineup with Robert?

Nastrini tomorrow? https://x.com/CST_soxvan/status/1793069389891117419

Actually, an IL stint could be just the thing for our rosters. An OF of Pham, Fletcher and Julks, Sheets DHs, Benny can change his name to Bench-intendi.

His love pillar.

Personally, if it's Nastrini or Cannon (or Thorpe), I would have brought them up for tomorrow's game, and bumped everyone else back a day. https://x.com/CST_soxvan/status/1793050275671933377

I think he was one of the guys the experts were watching, at the time. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=drohan000sha

Yes. If he were reinjured, and were put on the IL, so that he could not make 90 days on the active 26-man, he would remain on the White Sox and his Rule 5 status would be in effect for the 2025 season.

As per MLB.com: Rule 5 Draft picks are assigned directly to the drafting club's 26-man roster and must be placed on outright waivers in order to be removed from the 26-man roster in the subsequent season. Should the player clear waivers, he must be offered back to his previous team for $50,000 and can be outrighted to the Minors only if his original club does not wish to reacquire him. A Rule 5 Draft pick can be placed on the Major League injured list, but he must be active for a minimum of 90 days to avoid being subject to the aforementioned roster restrictions in the next campaign.

He has to be on the active 26-man roster for "all season". However, due to injuries, if he spends at least 90 days on the active roster, that counts as a season, and he's the unconditional property of the White Sox. The league assumes the Sox don't play IL games, or whatnot.

He's still on the 60-day IL. Yes, he needs to be on the 26-man for 90 days of the season. He certainly looks like starter material.
