What would the Sox option be to compel him to serve or to force him to serve as they require? Bench him? Threaten to trade him? OK, but they won't. Beyond being a star player he is part of the Cuban core of players -Pito, Yoan, Robert, that are too important to break up. A short while ago some here thought that Yermin should be free to disobey his Manager and do as he pleased without apology. Oh yes, that was new school. Well Eloy is new school as well. Unlike Yermin though, he is a legitimate star player that will ultimately play where he wants to. It is not his choice. He works for an organization who he has a contract with.

August 6, 20214 yr Aw man, was hoping he'd be back this weekend. Is what it is, guess we'll wait a few more games.

Well yes, they'd be zero. I'm just saying that if he really desires to play in the field and doesn't get the opportunity then if another team promises the opportunity he is likely to choose a different jersey. It may be worth it to be willing to let him go if it came to that. It's not my call and I'm not smart enough to know the answer. All I know is that if I were I'd be driving a way nicer car.

So if they want to keep him AAA, they're going to have to option him after this weekend which I highly doubt they'll do.
