40-man roster spots needed

[sportsfan8703]

If I remember right, rosters don’t have to be finalized till Wednesday at midnight.  We could see some trades, but doubtful.

The O's need to let him play  at AAA.  He might turn into a valuable player later this season.

Just my opinion, but by the end of 2018, I feel like he'll have been passed by Santander, Hays, Mullins and Stewart in terms of value.

Pretty sure Roch wrote that they are allowed to wait all the way until Thursday at noon..........which seems crazy.

That's correct- it is Thursday at noon. Seems crazy, but that's how it works in the playoffs too. You don't have to finalize your rosters until early in the day of the first game.

You can make moves all season, and if an hour before game time, they can play that same game, right?

Hah- yeah, that's also true. So I guess it's really not all that weird that rosters aren't due until the day of.

Crichton and Vielma seems like no brainers to me.   The other could be Kelly but I'm guessing it's not.   Ynoa is out of options.  Can you release someone while they are injured?   If so, Ynoa is another no brainer.     If not, I'm going with Yacabonis.   Right handed relievers who throw hard practically grow on trees.    Rickard has some value if Gentry gets hurt.   Asher is probably a better bullpen option than either Crichton or Yacabonis.    Liranzo is Yacabonis with more upside.   

I agree with Ynoa but he won’t be DFA-Ed until healthy.

I think Yacabonis is s possibility but he played a lot more than Kelly in ST, right? I say it’s Kelly.

They won't DFA Yacabonis right now. They like him and are going to give him more innings in Norfolk to try him as a long reliever/swing man starter.

They can let go of Ynoa while injured if they give him an injury settlement. They did this with Logan Ondrusek last spring training and Dariel Alvarez.

And the winners (or losers) are: Asher, Crichton, Kelly and Liranzo.

I was close. I thought they'd keep Liranzo and transfer Lee to the 60-day...not the case. I doubt we'll miss any of the four. We'll see if anyone gets claimed.

Alec Asher, Stefan Crichton, Michael Kelly and Jesus Liranzo

Guess a bunch of teams like Vielma.

I said Asher in a thread and to me it was likely because he was optioned so early. I don't think he will be claimed either but anything is possible.
