It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

I saw that World Series champion Trey Mancini is getting DFA’d after the Candelario trade.

That's a bummer from a personal standpoint, but he's been having a rough last season and a half. At least he got paid. Maybe he can hook up with some scuffling club to see if he can rebuild his value. But if I was him I might just relax on my $25mm career earnings knowing I was good at baseball once and beat potential death, just enjoy life.

For a lot of players, I don’t think it’s that easy. Maybe I’m wrong, but I suspect some guys like Mancini would rather be productive on $3M/yr rather than scuffling on a $12.5M/yr deal.

I was stunned when he got that $14m contract last winter. Good 1B in his prime but for the Cubs to DFA him now is just as surprising. He's not exactly doing anything he didnt do last year.

Jimmy Yacabonis DFA'd (again) by the Mets, being replaced by another former Oriole, Denyi Reyes

And Denyi takes the loss in a 21-3 loss to the Braves.  Not sure which of the 3 touchdowns he was responsible for giving up.

      Wait Till Next Year

      Okay, here's my take 1. Something is wrong with coaching/management. You don't see almost every player in your lineup dip below career norms for four months of the season without something being wrong. I have never thought Hyde was the guy. His in game decisions are not always that great. I wonder if it's a clubhouse leadership thing or something. Ben hit on it last night before the broadcast. They needed to score first to take the tension off of them. Hyde managed that last game scared, pulling Efflin after four innings and only one run given up. I bet the players could tell that too.  2. Do everything possible to sign Burnes (or a comparable free agent pitcher) to a long term deal. Definitely make the QO and take the pick if he wants to leave (and I really can't blame him) 3. Make the QO to Santander, but no long term offer. If he takes it, fine, but he comes up short in big situations too often. For some reason, he can only hit well from May-August.  4. We need one more "big", consistent hitter. Target that guy in free agency. Position really doesn't matter because we have alot of position flexibility, but an OF would be preferable. We need a veteran presence that can help these young guys when the going gets tough, especially if they choose to keep Hyde.  5: Keep the Ryans, but make sure they platoon

      Corbin Burnes hasn't issued an intentional walk since 2018.

      It can be debated from an analytical perspective if it is better to offensively focus on hitting homeruns or playing small ball or a combination of both.  It cannot be debated that this team offensively is horrible at the fundamentals in pressure situations.   The most basic fundamental in hitting a baseball is getting a good pitch to hit.  This team, routinely swings at horrible pitches, other teams have figured that out and that is what they see, willingly chasing pitches 6 inches outside or below the knees.   Until their inability to lay off of bad switches is corrected, they will struggle offensively.   Having a team of free swinging homerun hitters will not be successful.  They need to add guys who are willing to work the count, take a walk.  They need more speed, and some guys who can play small ball. In the lose to KC, they could not get a sac fly when needed.  They could not hit behind the runner.  They were not willing to bunt to advance a runner.   I don't care what the analytics say, when you strike out, nothing good can happen.  You can't advance the runner via hitting behind a runner, no sac fly, no chance of an error.  All you can say is they didn't hit into a double play.  With analytics, sometimes numbers are just numbers and the nerd analyzing them doesn't understand the context.   Please give me some 70's baseball.

      Eh, you’re not wrong, but just  because you can have a pissing match of Burnes vs Witt, doesn’t mean you have to. Same with Cano vs Witt.  Sometimes you literally circle their one good hitter and say he won’t beat us.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By ThomasTomasz · Posted

      Even in a summer where we had, checks notes, Westburg, Urias, Mateo and Mountcastle all on Injured Reserve (an entire starting infield, mind you, I think a lot of teams would be happy to have all four of those guys starting for them), O’Hearn only received 44 total PAs against left-handers, compared to 29 in 2023.  They absolutely try to limit him against LHP, but with those four injured during most of August/September, in the worlds of Hulk Hogan, what’cha gonna do?

      And Witt isn't even prime Bonds.  Be it '93 Bonds or roided out of his head 2001 Bonds. Corbin Burnes hasn't issued an intentional walk since 2018.

      Yeah it’s been a frustrating season. I get being upset, but to question the mental makeup of the team and say they all can’t perform under pressure is just ridiculously childish nonsense. And then to go after any posters who wanted to think we had any chance at winning anything is just some serious lowlife garbage. It’s embarrassing as a fan of this team to see grown men cry this loudly because we lost. It’s seriously embarrassing to see fans of a team hate on the team and their fellow fans because we lost.
