Seems quick. Only 3 games in the minors? Guessing they probably DFA Grossman? (if they even want to add Pham that is)

Has an opt-out of today apparently. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/the-opener-pham-seager-crawford.html

Idk but I'm rooting for it. If they're going to be this level of bad, let's see some history.

Could be. You figure he couldn't have fallen off THIS badly. His numbers are Maldonado-level bad.

Yeah I think once a contract is less than 2 years, you can start to justify DFAing him. At least that's what I've been saying to myself about Benintendi lol that you're stuck with him until about June/July Year 4 of his deal.

One of the dumbest arguments on the site

Hahn-core! Thats what we’re calling the guys who came over from last summer’s trades right?

For sure.

Korey Lee has as many HR as Maldonado hits. After almost a month.

Yep

No. Pretty sure they added a bullpen game or had a rainout.

It’s almost like the fact he’s only averaged like 30 IP per year the last 6 year DOES matter.

He got fucked on that previous pitch but got the K anyway.

Yeah. They opened the year facing like 5 lefties in a row or something like that. I had to drop Suwinski in a league because he was sitting for the lefties so much and sucked when he was playing. Taylor will be primary CF I’m sure.

FWIW, Taylor isn't the starting CF in Pitt.

Thank god no Maldonado tonight.

Call up Colas, DFA one of the other veterans.

Yeah I know he’s been terrible in the MLB but so has everyone else on the team.

Yeah what is this s%*#.

Agreed. Might stick around for the full game.

“If I pitch well enough on this shitty team, I could be pitching for a contender in August, at the latest!”

That extra cheap year is enticing for teams.

Need some of these guys to get hot and stay hot. Need some trade chips.

Idk they seemed to do good trading Giolito and Lynn, who was arguably the worst pitcher at the time.

Double play incoming
