The 40 man roster is full, and someone will need to come off for Gentry. Also, Drake is on the 40 man. You're the one that's wrong, not Encina.

 

Both are wrong and right.  Drake has been placed on waivers for the purpose of removing him from the Forty Man Roster.  He remains on the roster until clears waivers and is designated.  The same holds true for the Rule 5 player that has to clear waivers (Tavarez).  These players were not place on the DFA list this time of year as the rosters have not been set and will not be until Sunday.  Once they are set the players like Drake will be placed in DFA Limbo until such time as the waiver and designating process is complete which opens up a forty man spot immediately.

Probably. Who do you think comes up as the 5th starter or if Miley misses a start? 

Once the rotation is set for Norfolk, see who lines up to pitch on the 15th. Barring an injury or rain out, that will be the guy. If Wilson makes the team as the long reliever, I think it will end up being Ynoa or Aquino making that start.

No because your an obnoxious prick.

He was released and cleared waivers numbnuts, he can be signed for the league minimum.

You know you can't do this on here. Please refrain from name calling.

Ah so it seems. I can only work with what they report and many seemed quite confused yesterday.

No, he's on a minor league contract and not on the 40-man roster.

You're right that Gentry can be sent down before Opening Day without having to go through waivers. But I think the other poster was talking about breaking camp with Gentry and then sending him down on April 15 for a fifth starter. If that happens, then yes, he would have to go through waivers.

In that scenario, I think it's more likely that Rickard or Mancini will be sent down on the 15th.

Ah, got it. I must've missed that part of the scenario. Unless Mancini is killing it, I bet he's the one that goes on the 15th.

There would be no logic to putting Gentry on the OD roster and then exposing him to waivers 12 days later.   Either he's on for at least a couple of months (if healthy), or he's in Norfolk to start the year.

I wonder how many ABs he'll even get in the first 10 or 11 games to have a chance to "kill it".   We will see some lefties in that time... Happ, maybe CC, and probably 1 or 2 Red Sox lefties.

Unless they think it's easier to get him through waivers at that point. Either way, I think Mancini goes unless he's tearing it up in his chances.

But Gentry doesn't have to go through waivers if he's assigned to Norfolk right now -- that's the point.

    • Not that I am in any way full agreement, but this is a classic post.  Doesn't Machado play chess?  Maybe we could get some chess boards in the clubhouse and junk all the legos.  Not all great baseball men are John McGraw bad asses.  Some can be Christy Mathewsons as well, I suppose.  Not that I imagine today's young players much resembling McGraw or Mathewson, but they are the first two contrasting old school types that come to mind.  I will say just based on his postseason alone I'd much rather have Tatis over Machado.
    • Well I refuse to believe that only the O's have no players that want extensions.
    • Customer advocate groups have tried for decades to force the cable companies to allow channel by channel (a la carte) subscriptions, but the cable companies fought this because it would result in far less revenue (than forcing us to pay for a hundred channels we don't watch).  The government refused to intervene, so we've been stuck with the existing business model for all this time.  Streaming is forcing the change because streaming -- for now -- is an a la carte model.   MLB's fear must be this: if the regional sports network cable channel model goes away, will most users pay anywhere close to what these channels made as part of a cable bundle for just one streaming channel where all you watch are Orioles games (or maybe Orioles and Nats games -- whatever the case may be)?  So if you pay $100/month for cable with MASN, you are probably watching at least a few other channels too.  But will you pay $15/month (or whatever the price may be) just to watch the Orioles -- even during the months when there is no baseball?  The existing basic cable model has been quite stable because people tend to watch at least 5 or 6 channels.  They're reluctant to cancel their whole cable package just because baseball season is over -- or they've been too busy to watch many games this season.  But with a single streaming channel of just baseball there is bound to be a far more unstable revenue base.  All the streaming channels are already dealing with this problem.  I think MLB is maybe reluctant to go all in on streaming for this reason.  Perhaps they're looking for new different model that could allow them to bundle individual team channels with Netflix, or Prime, or maybe with your cell phone plan or something else.  This could give them some stability, but it could also be a turn off for the more hardcore fans who just want the Orioles and little else.  It will be interesting to see how this all shakes out and if MLB, and the Orioles, will prosper or suffer as a result.
    • What if they don’t want to be extended?
    • I don't want the O's to lose much, but I do want there to be a massive streaming deal with Amazon or some other company the O's are left out of.  This blackout nonsense is bullsh!t. 🤬
