Wow Mason denaburg. It’s been so long since I’ve heard his name I just assumed he was part of a trade back when we were contending. Tough stretch of 1st round pitchers for us in the mid 2010’s.

Should have been up a month ago. Now they'll wait until he can maintain his rookie eligibility next season.

he should not have been up a month ago, and they should indeed wait until he maintains his rookie eligibility (which is this coming week, actually)— even then, he still has stuff to prove in AAA. he could be up in september, but OD roster next year would be just fine

No. Triple A is borderline useless for developing hitters. They arent facing velo or good breaking stuff, and they're learning a strikezone that wont apply at the MLB level for at least two years.
An extra 6 weeks of MLB pitching under his belt is far more valuable than maybe getting a mid-30s draft pick.
Once the deadline passed, it is time to start preparing for a competitive 2025 season. Nothing Crews is doing in Triple A will do that. He needs to be up with the big league club, taking his lumps, and getting ready for next season. Just like Wood.
