Kinda feel for this guy. 813 PA in AAA now at 23 years old. Hitting well but not enough to make you go wow I guess.
I hope someone throws him a nice party when he gets to 1,000 this year.
I'm assuming Abreu had to consent to being sent back to the minors right? I feel it's pretty rare when something like that happens with an established vet.
I think it might be a tease that they are working on plans to improve the sound system at the stadium.
But not something i'm losing sleep over either way.
But then you would have to start Kjerstad vs a left-handed Starter when Kjerstad has historically hit lefties well in his minor league career. (.880 OPS vs LHP in 2023 in minors)
It might be the defensive piece that they are more worried about, idk.
Turns out Dillon Tate has an option. So that is what they are going to do.
Hmmmmm. I detect something else going on strategically here. Maybe Elias expects another IL move shortly that will let them recall Tate before the minimum timeframe passes?
