Right. 1. Rivera consistently plays over Mayo. Whether justified or not, he’s clearly higher in the pecking order right now. You don’t cut the second-string player to keep the third-string player. (Obviously Mayo will be the better long term player and has the better pedigree but we’re talking specifically about the next two weeks). 2. Mayo has an option and Rivera doesn’t. Rivera provides depth going into next year, provides some flexibility to trade Urias if the right offer presents itself, and does several things well as a role player (even if perceived by fans with stigma of waiver wire scrub).

I agree. Nothing to lose by trying to claim him.

Today is the last day a player can be optioned and still be eligible to be called up for the wild card series (unless replacing an injured player). IL stints also need to begin today for position players to be eligible for WC series, though teams can backdate any stints to today up until Tuesday.

He’ll be back on playoff roster I suppose, but I’m thinking Mullins is dinged and if he ends up on IL, Mays comes back.

Burnes and Elfin getting hot at the right time could go a long way. Getting Westburg and Mountcastle back obviously would be a boost. Coloumbe and Webb already back and get them some innings to be postseason ready. Now all we need is GRod.

The good thing is all 12 playoff teams start back to 0-0 so maybe they can put this 2nd half behind them when the playoffs start. I'm certainly not very confident in this but it's all I have. Lol.
