    Giving injured players lucrative contracts, and seeing them get even more injured, is a  new staple in the Rick Hahn GM for Dummies book.

    When will Reinsdork be DFA. The Chicago American League Baseball Club will continue to be a clown show until this pathetic miser and his fellow Bozo owners sell the franchise.

  • I’ve seen this season before.  Hahn is simply the worst

Hmmm.  Waited until they left Pittsburgh to kick Diekman to the curb?

oh snap, dfa or injury? 

edit: looks like DFA, another one bites the dust. When does Hahn get DFAd?

Guessing Santos going down

We need Wild West style posters with red Xs for all the DFAs

DFA Alexy would make some sense

Has to be a DFA - 40 man is full and Middleton needs to be added.

Santos going down doesn't clear a 40 man roster spot. Has to be someone getting DFA. Most likely Diekman, but possibly someone like German.

I'd be shocked if they DFA German.

They decided they needed to clear a roster spot for Middleton rather than just call up German/Alexy/Padilla. Why keep those guys if they aren't worth calling up?

Why are we running younger pitchers off the roster for 29 year olds?

 

A very good athlete, he displays a deceptive, three-quarter delivery that can be very hard to read (especially for right-handed batters). Can strike batters out regularly in the minors. Needs to fill out his 6-2 frame in order to gain optimum stamina for Major League Baseball. Needs more work on his changeup and curve, both decent pitches that lack consistency.

Long Range Potential: Solid right-hander with some upside.

Like to see someone described as having no potential/upside, lol…been around the block with Angels, M’s, etc.

“On September 17, the Red Sox added German to their active roster.[9] He made his major-league debut that day, allowing four runs without retiring a batter while facing four batters in relief.”

On January 30, 2023, German was designated for assignment in order for the Red Sox to add newly acquired relief pitcher Richard Bleier to the 40-man roster.[13]

 

Traded for some dude named Theo Denlinger…

He seems a little young to be pitching in MLB but I like the look of his chaperone.

He’s been around. Pitched for the Angels and Ms for a bit. Appeared in each of the past 6 MLB seasons --- 154 games.

With this delayed announcement, I am starting to think this may be a suspension from yesterday versus an mlb roster DFA or demotion. Otherwise the delayed announcement doesn’t make much sense. Then again, not 100% sure on suspension rules for pitchers - know Angels had to play a man short while Rendon was suspended.

Im guessing the stiff they just called up gets DFAd and then sent back down. On a good note, the Big Baby was taking BP today.

Suspension doesn't open up a roster spot. Someone has to be DFA or traded in order to free up a 40 man roster spot.

I am aware.  You can DFA someone not on the active roster.  

Besides, if someone was suspended, it always is appealed. 

I would guess that they would just DFA Scholtens.

Unless someone is hurt, I agree. No one is going to claim him.
