September 15Sep 15 Thorpe is now listed as Charlotte's probable so Sox seem to be planning to option him. I assume the Urquidy DFA is partly motivated by making room for him on the 40.
September 15Sep 15 I wonder if they want to keep Thorpe in the minors so he can pitch and get innings next year in the minors in case of a lockout.

Last Lockout would have only impacted minor leaguers on the 40-man roster.

Even if he was experienced, he would still be in his first starts off of TJS which is asking a lot of people. He's also a dude who even last time around was learning on the job with zero pressure.

There would still be a minor league season, everyone on a 40-man is part of the ML union so they couldn't participate. Non 40-man players are in the MiLB Union. JJ Cooper lays everything out here.

The MiLB union deal expires in 2027.Hm. I could have sworn I read that that wasn't the case anymore. Thanks for sharing.
