Sending down a rookie in September when your season is over is pretty telling about how the team feels about Colas.

They should have (and still can) dumped Grandal.

Why carry a 3rd catcher? Just dfa the one who can barely catch and is a free agent soon and have 2.

I don’t exactly think he has to get traded to “never play for the MLB team again.”

Will he?

Same

“Chris Getz Into Detail” Missed opportunity

Yeah, gotta salvage that trade somehow.

Coming off the worst season in my lifetime (32 years old), not a lot. No hope for next year.

How can you when he’s deemed untouchable?

Agreed 100000%

I would have claimed Mejia for the f*** of it if we were going to drop Zavala and lose Yaz soon.

And I’d be ok with that.

Yeah I would have done the same.

It’s a $12 million option or $4 million buyout.

The timing of his contract including a mutual option with the allegations and being injury prone makes this feel like less of a slam dunk.

Will he opt out?

Lopez and Giolito wouldn't as they were in their last years of arb. Same would go for Hunter Renfroe, Harrison Bader, Dominic Leone and Jose Cisnero. As for older vets who have been confirmed to have been placed on waivers: Randall Grichuk, Matt Moore, and Carlos Carrasco do not have buyouts. Edit: of course, the list of players is probably bigger than actually reported though and there could be guys with buyouts.

We're talking about 1/6 of their salary. The teams I listed payroll per Spotrac: Reds: $109,205,658 (a team that basically did nothing at the deadline and needed/still needs starters) Twins: $165,962,068 Marlins: $136,869,890 These 3 teams have plenty of room to add a guy or two.

Feel like we won't see many guys (especially the starters) get past the Marlins, Reds, Twins.

Based on?

Jerry can at least buy us all dinner before fucking us.

Good time to bet a couple bucks on the O's.

But if he makes the back half of your rotation better for a playoff run/during playoffs, I can see it.

Yeah I get why some teams would wait until late. But there has to be worse teams that have impending bigger free agent salaries that are not going to get a QO (cough cough Grandal cough cough) that you think would have been exposed at some point to clear as much salary as possible. That’s why I’m wondering if there was a specific date teams had to wait until.
