Sergio Santos? Still hurt. Right shoulder inflammation has kept him out 2 months (hmm)

 

Daniel Hudson? Shelled yet again and now re-hurt, going for MRI

 

Mike Sirotka? Think he's hurt too.

 

Kenny? A trader

 

Ironic on the day we find out Nestor Molina went for an MRI on his elbow

Not sure if it was mentioned but Santos was actually put on the 60 day DL. Ouch. I wish the best for him.

Our old friend DeWayne Wise with the awesome non-catch catch

 

That is some awful umpiring right there. Truly awful.

Chapman did a double front somersault to celebrate last night.

God forbid the umpire asks to see the ball. After the game, he admitted that he should have done that. Oops.

Already mentioned in today's game thread, but I guess it also belongs here.

Yankees ace CC Sabathia is heading to the disabled list with a strained muscle in his left leg. He will be out until after the All-Star Break, but Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that, if all goes right, Sabathia will only miss two turns through the rotation.

 

Sabathia did not want to go the DL, but Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told him during a Wednesday morning meeting the Yankees would not take any chances with his health.

 

"Better safe than sorry," Cashman said.

 

In Sabathia's place, Freddy Garcia will start on Friday against the Chicago White Sox.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst

Before this DL stint, Sabathia hadn't missed a start since April '06. Only other starters who could say that: Haren, Cain, Arroyo, Buehrle

 

 

Marlon Byrd, current FA, suspended 50 games.

 

Victor Conte says hello.

 

So Phil rogers said this morning that Byrd, who is not on any roster, is being put on a restricted list and is sitting out the 50 game suspension right now. How is that possible? Shouldnt he be on a teams roster to have to sit out games?

 

Rogers said it, so TIFWIW

I thought the same thing, but according to the mlb.com story:

 

"Byrd is currently a free agent, so he will be placed on the restricted list for the duration of his suspension, which will begin immediately and will be in effect through Aug. 20. It will result in the loss of 50 days of pay. "

 

 

that just doesnt make sense. How come manny had to serve his suspension after he came back for the A's

So his annual salary of $0 prorated over 50 days works out to something around $0, if I did the math correctly.

He still has a salary for this season.

If he was released, he should have been paid the remainder of his 2012 salary on the spot. His salary from that date on is $0.

yeah there was just a story about the Cubs trying to get a claw back for it.

It might have something to do with Manny "retiring".

Maybe Boston knew this was coming and that's why they released him.

Watch Trout's catch...sick

I saw the catch earlier. 4 more hits tonight as well. This guy went 25th overall. I don't believe he fell because of signability issue. Some heads need to roll for lettin' this kid get away.

I guess he's from a rural part of New Jersey, and his senior year it rained a lot, so scouts didn't get to see enough of him. Crazy.

36-19 are the Angels since he was called up. That, my friends, is called impact.

They keep getting paid the same way. Whatever the contract stipulates. Its not a lump sum payment unless the contract called for it, which I've never heard of and might not be approved. The Red Sox have to pay him, but they receive money from the Cubs. The Cubs agreed to send money to Boston to pay Byrd. Now that Byrd isn't getting paid, I'm sure they would want out of that responsibility, at least 50 games worth. It will be interesting to see if MLB has to rule on it. Boston and the Cubs may be fighting again. Technically, when you pay a portion of a contract to a player you have traded, you are really just sending money to the other team. In other words, if the Red Sox were able to trade Byrd before releasing him , they are not obligated to send the money they receive from the Cubs to the next team. Its pretty rare that it doesn't happen, in fact when the Sox traded for Vazquez, the DBacks weren't going to send their Yankee money the White Sox way, but they finally did.

I assume it was because he was retired.

He was one of the guys I wanted the Sox to draft. Really liked his ability. Never thought he'd be this good though.

Legitimate MVP candidate at the age of 20

Did I miss it or did someone mention Daniel Hudson was going to have Tommy John
