TBH, even if they wanted to see Alford up ASAP there were guys with options that could have been used to faciliate that: all of Hernandez, McKinney, and Tellez are something like replacement level and certainly aren't above being sent down for a few weeks. And the bats are actually pretty healthy right now, aside from Pompey and Travis who are both made of glass. This is being sold and largely perceived as a move to make room for an exciting prospect, but that prospect isn't actually very exciting, and Pillar certainly wasn't standing in his way. Really this is about clearing $5M because the team doesn't care about Pillar's two wins in a lost season. IMO it's the opposite of the kind of move fans should be applauding. The team got marginally worse today to save a few bucks in the short term. -
I can't find confirmation either way, but it would be a bit surprising if Hanson cleared waivers. I think they'll probably option Urena and keep him on the 25-man.
-
Law was literally available for free a month ago and no teams claimed him. He's a non-factor. We'll see what happens with Hanson. I agree, this move doesn't make much sense.
-
Will be interesting to see what the team decides to do with him. Law has already cleared waivers, so he can go to AAA and wait to have his contract selected, but I believe Hanson can still be claimed if Toronto doesn't keep him on the 25-man. I don't see who they'd option to make room though.
-
Alford is up now. After him we have McGuire, and then literally no other bat on the 40-man. Whatever the opposite of a logjam was, that's what the team had in the OF before doing this. Feels like a move motivated by $ more than anything else.
-
Meh. Two players who were recently DFA'd and aren't on the 40-man roster, and a s***** pitching prospect. I don't understand the urgency to make this move. There is currently one hitter that's a) healthy, on the 40-man, and c) not on the 25-man: Reese McGuire.

Tatis just hit a bomb
-
Interested in seeing Merrill Kelly's first start.
-
It's more that he's been bad his whole career. I really don't like Hernandez as a player.
-
I don't really care about the slow start with the bat, because he's going to hit a bit eventually, but his defense has been terrible. Two bad throws on the pivot in the Detroit series, and then the poor feed to Galvis today.
-
I get why Phillies fans loved Galvis so much. Missed catch today aside, he's a nice little player.
-
Andujar might need season ending surgery for a torn labrum.
-
At this point I'd just option Hernandez for Alford. He's not a good player.
-
Hell of a job by Pannone.
-
Every team's hitters look good in spring. The weather is warm, the parks are small, and arms are s*****.
-
Getting dominated by Jordan Zimmermann and Matt Moore was one thing, but getting absolutely clowned on by David Hess is unbearable.
-
Is it just me or is Buck a good 30 lbs heavier than he was last year?
-
This is embarrassing.
-
David Hess is throwing absolute GAS
-
When even Galvis and Jansen are f***ing up on defense you're gonna have a real bad time.
-
Two awful outings now, not that you’re wrong either way.
-
<------- had Richard Rodriguez pegged as a breakout high-end reliever this year
-
Good point. Even a low-end playoff team can lose to a bottom-feeder, which is a nice reminder that this is far from a sure thing.
-
This was my thought exactly. I trust SRF less than I would have trusted Clayton Richard.
-
Sean Reid-Foley vs. David Hess Lineups pending David Hess is absolutely terrible, so this should be an easy W.
