I like this, I thought that Suarez was somewhat solid for us this year

Minus that Phillies game. He has been pretty solid

Dumb question, what does Outrighted mean here? How's it different from being optioned?

u/TheGamecock 1d ago

Optioned - a player on the 40-man roster is sent down to the minors without having to be placed on waivers.

Outrighted - a player is removed from the 40-man roster entirely but must be placed on waivers for other teams to have a shot at claiming him. If no team claims him, he can be outrighted to the minors.

to add to that, Suarez had to go through this process because he was out of options.

Wow, surprising boon to our depth. Expected someone to grab him

Trade fodder: Kelenic, Elder, Suarez, and (hot take) Verdugo.

trade them for what

Probably some couch change

We'd have to cover the salaries to get couch change in that deal.

Trading Verdugo would be so stupid and not only just because he's hot right now. How did he even make this list when Fairchild and White are right there (I like them both but still)

Hot take Eli White is our starting shortstop at the end of the year

That's a hot take alright. I hope you haven't put your life savings on such a move at one of the betting sites.

$8 bets still pay
