One option takes two parties to agree and exposes the team to risk.  The other option takes no input from the player's side.

And may be eliminated in a few years.

Brooks made 3 E's in one inning. People like you would have DFA'd him for that. Read Frobby's thoughtful post . His arn isn't great but not as bad as it looked today and in the big picture won't cost us much. Certainly not as much as his bat will help.

If we got rid of everyone the game threads wanted DFA'd, we wouldn't be able to field a team.

Would that affect guys now?  When does the CBA expire?

Would depend on what is decided upon.  I do not expect the Braves to get 6.8 years of Acuna.

Why not sign him to a team friendly deal?

I'm guessing the service games will be gone in the next CBA.

That's a great point about the next CBA.  Still, most of us - including me - aren't ready to think outside the box like that.  It's a wonder my car doesn't have square tires.

I could be wrong, but I think the players want a couple of clear wins out of the next round and eliminating a loophole that shouldn't exist sounds like a likely choice.

There’s no real way to eliminate the loophole.    You can just play around with the service time thresholds, but no matter where you put it, teams can try to call a player up just after the magic date passes.    Unless you’re going to include some subjective factors, which would be a hot mess.

If at any time during a season where a team has a 25 or 26 man roster a player is called up from the minor leagues then that season will count toward his service time in regards to arbitration and free agency.

 

Yes that means yoyoing a pitcher like the O's did with Gausman will be very costly.

I loved him in relief of Chen that one game against Detroit. Back when Detroit was the deal.

Was a very strong effort.

That would make some boring Septembers for non-competitors.

How so?

Sisco puts up a ST with a 1.300+ OPS. Barely any mention on here throughout ST.

Sisco makes a mental and throwing error in a game. 10 page thread. 

Why so much negativity towards the dude?

What would be the point of calling up Hays or Sisco in September in a lost year if you lose a year of control?

You wouldn't lose a year.
