Sosa Optioned, Mendick DFA, Senzel Signed

Hmmmm, who could be the other infielder coming up? Ramos seems to have been hitting with more authority, lately. 

I don't think we really need to see Shewmake anymore.

Agreed. Shewmake is definitely a DFA/non-tender candidate.

Don't understand optioning Sosa at all.

.277 / .306 / .710 in July and was even passable in June as well.

I’m sure he will be back when they deal DeJong and Lopez but I agree. Keep playing him.

Narrator: "it was Shewmake."

Moncada probably

Makes sense.

DFA Mendick for Senzel is an actual positive move. If they sent Sosa down for Moncada, I understand that one.

It's Moncada. Sosa will be back soon I would imagine.

Getting rid of Sosa is a very dumb move, in my opinion. Even if Moncada is coming back, play him at 2nd everyday. Only thing that makes sense is if they are trying to....showcase Lopez for the next two weeks?

True, but then again, I’d rather just play Sosa instead of Senzel.

Sosa has been truly horrendous defensively. Although not like that matters right now

Lopez has been hitting well lately. 

And I wonder if there are some early trades, or they just DFA Shewmake when Moncada comes off the 60-day IL.

He’s lost at second base.

Moncada will play 3rd rest of the season, they aren't going to play him "all around" like some people were ridiculously suggesting months ago.

Yeah, these are moves based in Moncada returning and trades soon. Sosa is the inly one they can send down. He'll be back once the trades happen. If there are no trades, he'll be back next year. He's shown he can be a decent bench piece.

I meant play Sosa at 2nd. I don't give a s%*# what they do with Moncada. Let him shoot a music video during the 4th inning for all I care.

Sosa will be back in 2-3 weeks, when Moncada hits the IL again. Not too worried about it.

Yeah but they have to roster Senzel now

Rest in peace Danny Mendick, one of the best hitters drafted outside of the first round that Chris Getz developed.

Well Lopez’ .627 OPS in July is better than his .581 in June.  But he’s just awful.

For those saying Shewmake, he’s hurt and hasn’t played in weeks. 

Sosa's home/away splits are crazy, his away stats are awesome

He really needs to be the next to go.  While some team will trade for DeBong, I don’t see any team being interested in Slappy Nicky.

That's a great idea for the next AppleTV game.
