I'd be delighted if Jackson stays and Wright goes.

Nothing about Jackson on MLBTR

With today a day off, I'm not sure they have to make a move until tomorrow.

Also probably finalizing the physical.

But I don't really see them shortening the bench like this.

3 man bench, with 1 being a catcher and one being whoever you pinch hit Davis for is gonna be a struggle.

Karns needs to start absorbing more innings.

One of those pitchers is gonna need to bat soon.

They can't let Jackson go.  It's gotta be Wright.  

I am not sure what Jackson brings aside from versatility since I haven't seen much of him yet.  But Jackson has to have more value than Wright based on absolutely no evidence.

Surprised and a little disappointed. From the time I saw video of him I thought he had just as good a glove as Martin and definitely the better arm. 

And we all know what Wright brings.

Just an fyi: The only person who has said Drew Jackson was DFA'ed was the kid who made the initial report. Not a single person who has reported and confirmed Strailey has confirmed the Jackson move.

Well, I feel slightly better.

Maybe the Borg Collective? With analytics can he be assimilated?

Dammit.

Maybe lightning strikes twice, Jackson doesn't get claimed and we can get him back like we just did with Araujo.

More Mike Elias: "It was tough taking Drew off the roster. His versatility has always been attractive and he has shown tremendous effort and had a great attitude. He has a bright career ahead of him. We simply decided we wanted 13 pitchers for the forseeable future..." #Orioles

It chaps my ass that Davis still exists on the club when EVERYONE KNOWS HE NEEDS TO GO.

Obviously that doesn't just happen in an afternoon but sheesh.  I bet Jackson is better than Davis.

Disappointing. Wanted to see more out of Jackson. DFA Wright instead.
