Why would they DFA Basabe and not Delmonico?

  • You fucking idiot, you absolute dolt, he was not released, he was designated for assignment, these are totally different things. HOW DO YOU HAVE THIS JOB!?

    I’d say to opposite. Basabe has struggled the past 3 years and doesn’t look like anything more than a 4th OF type player IMO. The guy can’t hit RHP. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have tools to be somet

I dont like the Basabe move.

I know his long-term projection at this point is basically a switch-hitting version of Adam Engel, but once again, DFAing him over Delmonico is puzzling at best

Odd 

What does Nicky have on this team

This is just stupid and short sighted.

They may just figure no one is going to claim Basebe because of roster size and etc. No?

Why did anyone even have to be DFA?   Didn’t Lail just replace Rodon?

So did the Red Sox win that trade now with Basabe getting released? ;)

Wow, looking at MILB stats, Lail has........been around a while.

Needed room on the 40-man roster.

Lail, one game as 26th man for the Yankees. 10.13 ERA, but he got credit for a hold. And yeah, he’s seen a lot of the Eastern US.

Shocked about Basabe.  I wonder if there is more to that story, or they have finally soured on him.

This kinda means Detweiler is definitely slotting into the 5th slot no?

Maybe they are thinking of going with a bullpen game in the 5th starter slot until Clayton Richard is available?  I like Detwiler where he is now much more than him as a starter from what we've seen in the past.  I would love to see Dunning get a shot though.

This is what I was thinking.  The DFA must be separate right?  It wasn't required for bringing the Lail up?

 

Edit: They had to DFA someone for a 40 man spot.

They could just use Foster as an opener and then go to Detwiler like they did yesterday.

Correct, and with Rodon only going to the 10 day list, and not the 45, there is no 40 man spot freed up.

 

I do not understand the DFA of Basabe. He's going to get claimed by Detroit, Miami or the like. 

Sucks to lose Basabe.  Pitching injuries are creating a real roster crunch.

Miami is currently carrying 58 guys on their 40 man roster because of COVID.  They have big problems.

I bet he doesn't get claimed.

Miami in particular - more MLB ready than most of their prospects and more upside than plugging holes with anonymous AAAA filler

What the hell... I would be absolutely stunned if he does not get claimed. Top 10 prospect in a relatively strong prospect group.  No way he doesn't get claimed
