June 28, 20223 yr Makes sense. Option an infielder to make room for one. Would have preferred they dfa Leury, but we all know that will never happen.
June 28, 20223 yr Gotta make sure TLR can fit Leury's -1 WAR and 28 wRC+ into the lineup, NOBODY PUTS LEURY IN A CORNER!
June 28, 20223 yr Just now, Squirmin' for Yermin said: What a bunch of fucking idiots Ehhh kinda the nice that made the most sense. Haseley seems mostly worthless on this roster but you need a reserve OF, especially with us playing 1B in RF.
June 28, 20223 yr I don't mind it. Sosa needs more time in minors. He has a chance to be good but right now he is raw
June 28, 20223 yr Weird to burn an option year on Sosa just to send him down to AAA. Not that he looked super ready. Maybe he comes back after Harrison craters again and is DFA'd?
June 28, 20223 yr Its the move to make. Not many other options here... Leury? - HAH, good one. He is going nowhere for another 2 years Burger? - He'll be an ok bat off the bench, and back at 3rd when Yoan inevitably winces after trotting from the field to the dugout, or something Sheets? - No chance in hell they can send Sheets back down, considering the current makeup of the bench Haesley? - Yeah, he sucks. But we have no real backup outfielders right now.

If they were only going to use him for a weekend, there are guys in AAA who are older and more ready to burn an option on.
June 28, 20223 yr It's just so dumb, like I understand that if Lenyn is going to be riding the bench for worse players, then yeah he needs to go back down to keep playing. But if this was the plan all along, why not just promote Yolbert when you needed an INF?

We are idiots because we called him up in the first place and had to add him to the 40/started the clock.

Dee Strange-Gordon was released by the Nationals a couple days before Sosa was called up. He’s a free agent utility player and in 59 at bats this year did hit .300.
June 28, 20223 yr For who the options were, on the big league team, it made sense. Now, if you want to argue that it seemingly was a stupid, not thought out choice to add him to the 40 and bring him up, I think you have a pretty good case. But he is the right one to be sent back down.

He is versatile, old, and walks a lot. Absolutely zero reason to leapfrog Yolbert for only one weekend.
June 28, 20223 yr Goodness. It really does seem intentional at this point. I'm so sorry White Sox fans.

Absolutely zero reason to leapfrog Yolbert for only one weekend. This is the guy they talked about on the Score, made sense in terms of having an available infielder.
