Anyone who gets hot for a week or two could conceivably have a case. The only way to "fix" it is to change the service time rules, which I am sure will be done.

January 29, 20206 yr Just now, Dick Allen said: If he won, a huge can of worms would open up. Anyone who gets hot for a week or two could conceivably have a case. Very true.

I'm saying if he won the case he would have less control meaning less trade value. But reading is hard. Edited January 29, 20206 yr by soxfan2014
January 29, 20206 yr In Sox news, does this increase the chances that Madrigal is up on April 8th or something like that? If Bryant couldn't win his case, I can't see how anyone could.

January 29, 20206 yr He HAS to be shipped out now yeah? I'm guessing the Cubs/Bryant found out unofficially the other day when they picked up Souza and JJ. I don't think he's going to be the only domino.

Unless he makes it 1000% obvious he is ready out of Spring Training, no one really has a case to argue against him spending a few more weeks in AAA.. It might make other teams be more careful with how they handle service time with guys that are obviously ready, but I'm just speculating.

There is no way Madrigal would have a legitimate case staying in AAA for a bit. He was good last year in the minors but he wasn't exactly destroying the plate.

January 29, 20206 yr Rick Hahn will want the team firing on all cylinders from opening day. I believe RH will work his extension magic sometime during ST.
