Kyle Hendricks taking a no-hitter into the 8th
-
It's probably a lot of things. White is 7 years younger, controllable through 2027, and has been a reasonably effective swingman in MLB so far. And non-baseball stuff probably also played a role. Bass isn't good enough to get much rope if management perceives that he's making more work for them for non baseball reasons.
-
I think Atkins is gone this offseason if the team misses the playoffs. He's been mediocre at best at spending money, and the team's development system seems to lag behind a lot of other teams.
-
Guys, Bass was projected for an ERA over 4 RoS. If the team doesn't have the infrastructure in place to find a new replacement-level reliever, the org has much, much bigger problems than today's loss.

Gurriel isn't really an asset. Look at how Hunter Renfroe has bounced around the last 3-4 years for basically nothing in return. Or how the Jays signed Kiemaier to replace him for a reasonably cheap 1-year deal. If the team feels the need to bring in a similarly valuable corner OF, they'll have ample opportunity to do it for close to free at the deadline.
-
Along those lines, the team doesn't get any credit here for the shrewd Hernandez trade. Teo is another mediocre corner OF who isn't even playing up to his 14M salary. Swanson has been excellent, and is still under control through 2025. I'm still heated about everyone who wanted to extent a non-elite corner OF long term last offseason.
-
I don't think people really understand how different this could look in a year. Gurriel is having a nice year, but he's a 29-year league average corner OF entering free agency. You can buy one of those for like 10M on a 1-year deal if you want. The Jays just bought a better OF for 1 year 9M last offseason. The actual substance of the deal is Varsho vs. Moreno.

Our old friend Ryan Noda has a 158 wRC+ and 2 WAR so far this season.
-
He's looking pretty cooked
-
Yeah, when you're a replacement-level player there are any number of factors that can contribute to you getting the boot. If management perceives that you're creating even a small headache for them, there's nothing compelling them to keep you around. Its why vets always tell rookies to put their head down and mouth closed - don't give management even the slightest reason to not want you around.
-
In a manner of speaking, yes

36-year old replacement level reliever Anthony Bass was DFA'd
-
I'll never understand why you idiots are so eager to argue about religion and politics on a baseball forum.
-
I'm not going back multiple pages to prune posts, but please keep this about baseball, or baseball-adjacent things (ex. Manoah's severe obesity). Thanks.

Did Spanky not even make a claim?
-
Everything should be good now.
-
Spanky!
-
Crazy, man.
-
Yeah, Zulueta can be added back to your team
-
What a terrible org
-
I think we should just re-do the process without the confusion of different time slots for the players to come off waivers. The setting has been fixed, so this shouldn't come up again. Is anyone able to process this today before games start? Also, players should come off waivers before games Friday. Also, if any team who made a claim runs of out ads this week because of a canceled add, I'll do one manually so they don't lose an add over this.
-
If that happened, I think the fairest way to approach this is to put everyone back on waivers (but ending like Friday morning or something so the teams claiming SPs still get their next start) and reverse the waiver order to what it was last night. Also, I'm at work and I'm not doing this on mobile, so I can't actually process any of this today.
-
So the system asked you to prioritize claims, even though the players came off at different times?
-
Also this new Fantrax interface is ass cheeks.
