March 26, 20232 yr I know Leury is better than what he was last year, but I always felt he was overvalued by the front office and is a really dumb baseball player. More importantly, he’s just not a great fit for this roster. Glad we are moving on.
March 26, 20232 yr A dumb contract the moment it was conceived. Holy s%*# what a waste. Enjoy the rest of your journeyman career Leury, it’s been real…
March 26, 20232 yr I personally wish Leury the best. A good guy, always a smile on his face. He could still be useful as a 26th man and I expect he’ll find a new home quickly once he’s eventually released. Not his fault Tony and the FO grossly overvalued him. Good luck, Leury!

It started before Tony with Ricky’s obsession with him. TLR just took it to a whole other level Edited March 26, 20232 yr by Vote4Pedro

He was perfectly fine for what he was. Comping the Ricky teams to the TLR teams is kind of silly because the talent of the roster was much different. Don’t really care to debate him any longer as he’s gone, just saying i wish him well. The club make the right call.
March 26, 20232 yr The move surprises me a bit, but that's not to say I disagree with it. Leury has not been productive and we ha ve younger players who have been

March 26, 20232 yr LaRussa must be in shock. Leury had some big moments. Han paid him handsomely for them. Hard to believe he gave him 3 years. It was the exact same mistake he made with Keppinger. I doubt his replacement will play much better than he did before last season, but if Leury is what he was last season, he needs to find another line of work.
March 26, 20232 yr Objectively, this was the right move. Removing emotion, I do wish Leury the best. He was paid way more than his play was worth, but good for him honestly. Sucks that the deal probably kept them from making other moves. It was a waste of limited resources and ill conceived from the start, but it’s now history. The last remnants of TLR’s reign of terror feel washed away to me. It was time to move on and the org made the right move for a change.
March 26, 20232 yr I didn’t think the sox would eat Leury’s contract, honestly. Hopefully this is a sign they’re moving in the right direction. Is there any way they keep him in Charlotte. I wouldn’t hate him as a AAAA guy

March 26, 20232 yr I truly wish Leury the man well. I'm sure he's a swell guy. I wished and wished and wished Leury the player in another uniform. Dreams that you care to dream and stuff.
March 26, 20232 yr While last year sucked and he shouldn't be on the roster this year, Leury is still a good dude who was fun to root for for nine years.

I wouldn’t hate him as a AAAA guy If you were just canned on the eve of the season with 2 years left on your deal, would you want to stick around and head to Charlotte? I wouldn’t. No team will claim him, but I’ll be surprised if a team doesn’t offer a big league deal at the minimum.

I found him likable until Ricky started over using him. Then came TLR, then the awful deal, and it was hard to separate likeable dude from overpaid declining player being horribly misused and overused.
March 26, 20232 yr Note that this just says he won’t be on the Opening Day roster. Is it possible that he’s just starting the year on the IL? I know it’s likely he’s gone, but just throwing it out there.
March 26, 20232 yr I actually felt sorry for Leury what with Tony trotting him out there every day. Probably everybody on the team including Leury knew it was fucked up, but what's he gonna do? "Naw, Skip. Better not pencil me in today. Have you noticed the guys? And the natives in the stands mighty restless."
