I count 41.   What am I doing wrong?

The official website shows 44 players on the 40-man including Shepherd. Not sure which names don't belong.

Neither Tate nor Harvey have gone on the 45-day IL. 

I am stumped.

I think there is another move to take someone off the 40.  I never trust Roch with roster counting.

Roch isn't doing the counting, I'm sure the team told them that this takes them to 39.

I count 41 also. I’m thoroughly confused.

Nathan Ruiz is a Baltimore Sun reporter--- Right?  So it not he Orioles saying it.

My best guess is the Lopez has been DFA'd to try to get him to Bowie.  I have been waiting for that.

Right Ruiz is with The Sun, he tweeted it at the same time as Roch because they heard it at the same time, from someone on the team during a media Zoom call.

From the Orioles.com front page:

The Orioles have claimed RHP Jorge López off waivers from the Kansas City Royals. The Orioles 40-man roster currently has 40 players. The Orioles have 60 players on their 60-man player pool list.

The more I see the moves being made, the more I think Elias has no intention of winning this year and perhaps making ownership believe they are close to winning consistently.

Saying that, Hess just doesn't have the movement or command of his fastball to be consistent at the major league level, but this move screams out just bringing up a guy to be the mop up guy. 

 

 

He also seems to have lost a couple mph. I'm not sure if that's by design to gain control/movement, just something I noticed. A lot more 93 and less 95.

Hess is terrible.  I'm sure Shepherd is, too.

I asked Rich Dubroff about the roster stuff.

Since Means and Lopez are in the IL for “testing,” they do not count against the 40 man right now. So with Shepard, there are 39 “official” spots taken.
