I am not sure the 60 is full.  I think he became healthy while on the  IL and they released him instead of pay him.  He was on a minor league contract.

The thing about Stevie is he hit right-handers in the majors in 2019 much better have Alberto, Valaika or Urias,  He can play 2B as good as any of them.  That is his pluses.  His minuses are he is 28 on a rebuilding team and he can't hit lefties.

The 60 is full since Mason Williams and Dilson Herrera cleared waivers and were sent to Bowie. Both are more useful in Bowie right now then holding a roster spot for an injured player (same with Ty Blach.)

Trumbo treatment?

Sure. 

Even though I'd be super pissed if he's still on the roster in 2021 if there's a short season, I get it.  It'd save them some money, and while I disagree that saving some money is more important than competing and getting younger players at bats....I get it.  

In previous seasons, one could make the argument (I wouldn't) that Davis wasn't taking away significant at bats from some top prospects.  But now with the emergence of Mountcastle and Stewart and hopefully a Mancini return next year, there's no good reason to have him around.  Elias has to make the Angelos clan understand.

    • I see a playoff team with maybe the same expectations the 2023 team had going into the season. Possibly being picked to finish between 2nd and 4th in our division.     SP - Eflin, Grayson, Big Al, Kremer, Povich McDermott in AAA. Bradish and Means back in the 2nd half????  Wells too? RP - Bautista, Cano, Dominguez, Soto, Coloumbe, Webb, Perez, Akin 1B - Mountcastle DH - O’Hearn 2B - Holliday 3B - Westburg SS - Gunnar C - Adley LF - Cowser CF - Mullins RF - Kjerstad Bench - Mateo, Urias, backup C, RH OF or Mayo Basallo up mid season This is us baby.  We are who we are.  The only way to get experience is to actually get experience. Sorry to Brad Fuller maybe our “vet” can be a former player as hitting coach.  Carlos Beltran or Bonds.  
    • I would love to sign any hitters who have actually experienced postseason success and wins.....maybe even championships.  Gurriel for KC has been a part of a lot of postseason wins and having veterans on the team like that are valuable.  I saw somewhere the KC guys said they really benefitted from having Gurriel, Pham, Sal Perez, and others who have been there and done that.  Continuing to rely on young players with nothing but zeroes on their postseason resumes isn't helpful.   I heard Francona is going to manage the Reds.  Great move for them.  I would have loved to have him, given he is a Hall of Famer with actual WS championships and a ton of October success.  
    • Geordie Greep just dropped The New Sound. So that.
    • Crazy to lose to the same city in all three sports with two to be considered monumental upsets. I believe the Knicks were actually favored against the Bullets, but not sure as it was before I was born. 
    • That entire series very much hurt. Benitez was awful. He hung a slider to Grissom (the eventual ALCS MVP) allowing a go-ahead homer in the top of the 8th of game 2. The squeeze play you mentioned that I haven't been convinced wasn't foul in game 3. Game 4 had two of their guys score on the same wild pitch where it looked like David Justice blocked Lenny Webster after scoring the first of those two runs. And then of course, the last hanging slider from Armando to Tony Fernandez that proved to be the game winner in game 6. Just painful all around. 
    • More attendance than the playoff games. 
    • Just Burnes and Soto for me. That’s all. 🤪
