Buehrle>Wood Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Is Mead out of options for next year? So hed have to stay on 25 man or risk a claim? I would think so. He needs to be playing every day to get a glimpse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting with glut of infielders. Correct. This is his last option year. He can be sent down something like up to 5 times per option year. Next season, he is out of options and has to be rostered on the 26-man all season, or DFAed. Bryan Ramos is in the same position, so I'd think they would have called him up instead of Amaya. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use an option when you send someone to the minors period, even if it is to start a season. Ramos has already had his option for this year activated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Ramos will replace Rojas on the roster next season, without burning $3.5 million in the fire pit.

Finally makes sense why "options years" often just work like expiring credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it's 5, then the player gets to become a free agent if they choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Hauser with another bad start giving up 4 runs to the Ms in the first inning with 45 pitches, this could wind up being a damn good trade.

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Houser had some unlucky calls in that first, zone seems pretty tight and he likes to work the edges. He followed up with a quick few innings to right the ship. TB back within a run in the 4th, he does fight to keep the team in it. Crazy that he gave up 4+ in back to back starts after never doing it here though. He likely won't go 6 either, after giving us 6+ in 9 of 11. Some extra irony that his first Sox start was vs. the Ms and he went 6 scoreless. Wouldn't surprise me if some of the performance difference is who he's throwing to, TB's catching situation is weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Houser settled down to finish 5IP 4ER. Rays couldn't come back, so he took the L. Coincidentally, Davitt (5IP, 1ER, 6K) and Peoples (1IP, 0ER/H, 2K) both pitched for Charlotte today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 (edited) The Rays have made some pretty bad trades lately. Manzardo for Civale was dumb. They didn't get anything for Eflin. The Arozarena trade looks pretty good. Parades is way better than Morel. Am I missing any big ones? edit: maybe they got good value for Jason Adam, but he looks really good in San Diego and Lesko has been injured. I thought the idea was that they trade for pitchers and 'fix them'. Seems like they broke Civale and Hauser (we'll see what he does the rest of the year). Do they have new management or something?

GreenSox Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The Rays preferred Gray to Mead. The Sox sent them Gray for "cash considerations". But the Sox had to send one of the few trade assets* they had for Mead. Why wasn't he available for "Cash considerations" given that the Rays clearly preferred Gray to Mead? Meanwhile, the Rays send real prospects to the Dodgers for a AAAA catcher. Once again, the Sox get the worst of it. *Houser didn't have a lot of value; but he had a morsel.
